Facility Assessment Report: Theodore Herzl Elementary School.pdf

Assessors rated each facility feature and system based solely on visual observation, without testing operability or performing destructive testing.

Overall Condition: The school generally shows a moderate to severe level of wear and tear, with several items requiring repairs, replacement, or significant maintenance.

Key Findings:

Exterior:
Major issues include efflorescence on brickwork, damaged lintels, missing downspouts, and high costs for replacing windows (both single-pane and double-pane).
The exterior roof system, including clay tile arches and metal roofing, is largely in good condition but some areas show seepage and water damage.
Concrete stairs and ramps require repair or replacement.
Electrical:
The school has a robust emergency power system, including generators, transfer switches, and backup battery packs.
However, the cost of upgrading the public announcement system and security system is substantial.

Cost Estimates (Note: These are rough estimates based on visual assessment):

Exterior Subtotal: $797,638
Electrical Subtotal: $1,052,474
Total Campus Need (Estimated): Approximately $1.85 million

Important Considerations:

This assessment provides a snapshot of the school's condition and does not include all potential needs or future capital projects.
Actual repair/replacement costs may vary based on scope, accessibility, and unforeseen conditions encountered during construction.
* The report highlights areas requiring immediate attention as well as those that can be addressed through long-term planning.
