Window Replacement
WalterFedy was retained by the Region of Waterloo to complete a Building Condition
Assessment (BCA) for the property municipally addressed as 25 Joseph Street (Attachment
C). The intent of the assessment was to determine the physical condition of the different
components of the building and make lifecycle repair / replacement recommendations for
deficiencies identified. Visual deficiencies, including the damaged windows, were identified
during a site visit conducted as part of this work on June 21, 2022. The BCA identified the
windows in the original portion of the building as being wood -framed units in poor condition
with visible aging and deterioration. It recommended that the windows be refurbished rather
than replaced, to maintain the historical value of the building. However, several located on
the western elevation of the building contained broken panes of glass (Figure 3-4).

Figure 3-4: Broken Windowpanes on the Subject Property

To comply with the recommendations of the BCA, these broken panes are proposed to be
replaced with new tempered thermal sealed glass units, frosted for privacy, rather than
replace the entire window unit. While the new glass panes are not an exact match to what
is currently existing, they will maintain a similar appearance.
The broken panes will be removed by first carefully taping the shattered pieces, then using
a heat gun to remove the putty around the sash edge. Once this is done the opening will be
cleaned and prime painted before the new glass is installed in a new bed of putty with
glazier's points every 6 inches.

PART A: SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Page 1 of 10
The following requirements are designed to assist applicants in submitting sufficient information in order thal
their Heritage Permit Application may be deemed complete and processed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
If further assistance or explanation is required please contact heritage planning staff at heritage(a)kitchener.ca.
1. WHAT IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION?
The Province of Ontario, through the Ontario Heritage Act, has enacted legislation to assist its citizens with
the protection and conservation of cultural heritage resources.
Once properties are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City is enabled to manage physical
change to the cultural heritage resources as a means of protection. The principal mechanism of management
is the Heritage Permit Application process, which allows the municipality to review site-specific applications
and determine if proposed changes will beneficially or detrimentally affect the reasons for designation and
heritage attributes.
As a general rule, the preferred alterations to heritage properties are those that repair rather than replace
original heritage attributes, and those that do not permanently damage cultural heritage resources and their
heritage attributes. Where replacement of materials or new construction is necessary, these should be
compatible with the original. Reversibility is also preferable as this allows for the future reinstatement of
heritage attributes.
According to the Ontario Heritage Act, no owner of designated property shall alter the property or permit the
alteration of the property if the alteration is likely to affect the property's heritage attributes, unless the owner
applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent. This consent is obtained through the
approval of a Heritage Permit Application.
Heritage Permit Applications are applicable for all individually designated properties (under Part IV of the
Ontario Heritage Act) and all properties located within the boundaries of Heritage Conservation Districts
(designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act).
2. WHEN IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIRED?
Under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, any new construction or "alteration" to a property designated
under Part IV of the Act (individually designated property) or a property designated under Part V of the Act
(within a Heritage Conservation District) requires a Heritage Permit Application. "Alteration" is defined as: "to
change in any manner and includes to restore, renovate, repair or disturb." In addition, the approval of a
Heritage Permit Application is required for any demolition of a property designated under Part IV or V of the
Act. Please contact Heritage Planning staff directly to confirm if your specific project requires the
approval of a Heritage Permit Application.
Below are some examples of typical Part IV alterations that may require a Heritage Permit Application:
• Addition and/or alteration to an existing building or accessory building
• Replacement of windows or doors, or a change in window or door openings
• Change in siding, soffit, fascia or roofing material
• Removal and/or installation of porches, verandahs and canopies
• Removal and/or installation of cladding and chimneys
• Changes in trim, cladding, or the painting of masonry

Note: Heritage Permit Application requirements differ between Part V designations depending on the policies
and guidelines of the respective Heritage Conservation District Plans. Please refer to the City of Kitchener's
website at www.kitchener.ca/heritage to download a copy of the relevant Heritage Conservation District Plan
(Civic Centre Neighbourhood, St. Mary's, Upper Doon, and Victoria Park Area).
3. WHAT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED WITH A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION?
The information required varies with each application. The intent of the application is to ensure that Heritage
Planning staff and, where required, the Heritage Kitchener committee understand the specific details of any
proposed changes in order to be sufficiently informed so they may offer advice to the applicant and, where
required, to City Council. An incomplete application cannot be processed and the official notice of receipt (as
required under the Ontario Heritage Act) will not be issued until all of the documents have been submitted.
Failure to provide a complete application may result in deferral by Heritage Planning staff or the Heritage
Kitchener committee in order to secure additional information, which will delay final approval. At minimum,
the following information is required:
Heritage Permit Application Form
The applicant must provide a complete original copy, including signature of the owner, of the Heritage Permit
Application Form.
Written Description

Page 3 of 10
It is recommended that applicants bring samples of the materials to be used to the Heritage Kitchener
meeting when their application is to be considered. This may include a sample of the windows, brick, siding,
roofing material, as well as paint chips to identify proposed paint colours.
Other Required Information
In some circumstances Heritage Planning staff may require additional information, such as a Heritage Impact
Assessment or Conservation Plan, to support the Heritage Permit Application. The requirement for additional
information will be identified as early on in the Heritage Permit Application process as possible. Pre -
consultation with Heritage Planning staff before formal submission of a Heritage Permit Application is strongly
encouraged.
4. WHAT CAN I DO IF MY HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION IS DENIED?
City of Kitchener Heritage Planning staff and the Heritage Kitchener committee endeavour to come to
solutions for every Heritage Permit Application submitted. Discussions with the applicant and revisions
usually result in successful applications.
However, if the municipality refuses your application and you choose not to resolve the issue with a revised
application, you have the option of appealing the decision to the Conservation Review Board (for alterations
to designated properties under Part IV) or the Ontario Municipal Board (for demolition of property designated
under Part IV or for any work to designated property under Part V).

Action Repeat Interval This means the time interval in which the recommended action needs to be repeated. For
lifecycle replacement, the repeat interval is usually equal to the normal life expectancy of the component. For regular
maintenance recommendations, the repeat interval is determined based on the existing condition, consultant's
professional opinion, and staff/tenant's reports.
Action Cost This is the estimated cost of the action recommended, repairs and/replacement, derived from the
market or building cost services, which publish construction and remodeling costs on an annual basis. Replacement
cost estimates are generally based on local material costs, union labor costs and normal construction conditions.
Action Description This provides the details of the work recommended to be undertaken.
Action Year This indicates the year in which the action recommended should be undertaken.
FCI Facility Condition Index
Overall Condition This identifies the overall condition of the entire element/system. For example, a new flat roof is
in good overall condition, but there may be localized minor damage to the roof membrane, drainage, or flashing, etc.
The observed minor defect will not affect the good overall condition.
Replacement Cost These are unit cost estimates of various building components, derived from the market or building
cost services, which publish construction and remodeling costs on an annual basis. Replacement cost estimates are
generally based on local material costs, union labour costs and normal construction conditions. The represent the
costs of major repairs or replacements at the current prices and under current conditions

The study timeline for this report spans from 2022 to 2052. Annual investment on maintenance, repair and end -of -
life replacement of building components will be required over the next thirty (30) years in order to ensure the building
lifecycle is maximized and it remains in safe condition for the users of the building.
The annual expenditure forecast in each year is not constant due to different remedial actions that have been
identified, and differing lifecycles for different equipment types. Therefore, WalterFedy provides annual average,
maximum annual investment, and total forecast investment value over the study period, as listed in the tables below
where the dollar amounts are expressed in 2022 costs without inflation:

1.3 General Summary
7
The report identifies and makes lifecycle repair/replacement recommendations for deficiencies visually identified
while on-site on June 21, 2022. Within the property condition assessment methodology, each major component was
assessed for condition, based on a visual review, while factoring in component history, current maintenance practices,
and time since the last major replacement/ repair. The assessed condition of the component is then compared against
industry -accepted "expected useful life" values for each component type. An inventory of needs was then developed
based on age, condition, and the relative impact that failure of that particular component represents for the building.

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Objectives
The objectives of Building Condition Assessments (BCAs) and Elevator Audits' will be:
• To determine the present physical condition of the listed facilities with respect to structural/architectural
components, building envelope, mechanical and electrical systems, fire/life safety systems, and predictive 30 -
year renewal costs;
• To determine the scope, timing and current cost of all building component repairs or replacement likely to be
required;
• To determine the finances required to be set aside for both normal maintenance and capital
repair/replacement of major components for budgetary purposes; and
• To report all findings and recommendations from these assessments and audits of all repairs, replacements,
rehabilitations, and 30 -year plans in the formats as stated in this RFP.
2.2 Scope of Work
As per the agreement between the client and WalterFedy, the Building Condition Assessment (BCA) includes a visual
assessment using non-destructive techniques and tools of the following major building assemblies and their
component parts:
• Structural assemblies (those that are visible)
o Including parking garages (when applicable)
• Architectural assemblies (exterior, interior components)
o Roof coverings
o Building wall cladding
o Windows and doors
o Unique architectural items
o Room finishes
• Mechanical assemblies
o Heating, Cooling and Ventilation
o Plumbing
• Electrical assemblies
• Fire and Life Safety assemblies
• Exterior site features
o Roadways and parking
o Sidewalks, patios or other hard surfaces
o Fences and gates
o Storm water drainage
o Soft landscaping
• Elevators (when applicable)
The assessments consider the physical condition of each assembly and its components, the age of the components
compared to an expected useful life of similar components, and any capacity issues identified. When further details
are required to fully understand the scope of a deficiency that is identified, WalterFedy recommends further study
and investigative work to be done.
1 Where Applicable
Page 32 of 426
Region of Waterloo Building Condition Assessment 11
Kitchener Housing — 25 JOSEPH ST., Kitchener
Building components are identified using the ASTM E1557 - 09(2015) Standard Classification for Building Elements and
Related Sitework-UNIFORMATII. This industry -recognized standard allows an easy -to -understand description of the
building components, as well as a logical method to analyze collected data.
2.3 Recommended Actions
When necessary WalterFedy will develop Recommended Action items for components. The Actions are classified
as one of the following categories:
Table 2: Possible Action Type Categories
Action Type
Definition
Repair
The existing component is functioning, but in need of repair
so that it will function to its intended capacity and design
lifecycle
Replacement
The existing component cannot be effectively repaired due
to
• the cost of repair being greater than the cost of a
new component,
• outdated technology,
• the component is at its expected normal useful
lifecycle, or
• a repair will not be effective at resolving any
deficiencies
Install
A component that is required is missing and should be
installed
Study
Further detailed assessment including possible destructive
testing is required in order to fully understand the
requirements for the component
Action items are developed based on the knowledge of WalterFedy's assessors and industry standards (including
applicable Code requirements).
2.4 Cost Estimates
Action cost estimates provided in this report should be considered Class "D" estimates (i.e., ±25% of expected actual
costs) and are provided as a preliminary estimate of the expected costs to repair the deficiencies identified by
WalterFedy assessors. The cost values are determined by identifying the requirements for an element or component
of the building and then estimating element replacement costs and/or a reasonable lump sum allowance for the
recommended work.
The action cost estimates are, unless otherwise stated, reflective of the cost to remove the existing element and
replace it with a new version of the element that would provide equivalent service (i.e., a "like -for -like" replacement).
These costs are determined from a combination of source information:
RS Means is an industry leader specializing in providing baseline cost estimates for building systems. Their
costing databases compare building activities across North America in order to establish baseline cost estimates
for replacement or installation of components and elements adjusted for the geographic location of the subject
building. RS Means costs include an allowance for a contractor's overhead and profit.
WalterFedy also makes use of information from other current and past projects completed by our firm that
include work similar in scope to the actions recommended in the BCA reports.

12
Finally, with an extensive project history in Southwestern Ontario and beyond, WalterFedy has relationships
with many local contractors, and has gained a good understanding of current building construction, market
trends and costs.
The information from the sources listed above is compiled, reviewed and maintained in an internal database of action
costs for actions or building elements that are relevant to the building(s) in this study. This database is regularly
reviewed and updated as necessary in order to ensure that our cost estimates match current market values.
Cost estimates are prepared in 2022 Canadian Dollars (i.e., the year of assessment) and include a 20% contingency
fee to cover unforeseen costs plus a 10% contingency fee to cover applicable consulting fees, but do not include
any applicable taxes.
The cost estimates assume work is performed at one time and, as such, do not include general project management
costs, or costs for a contractor to mobilize for a project that might result from a combination of multiple actions into
one larger project.
More precise cost estimates would require more detailed investigations and design work than provided for in the
scope of work of this project. WalterFedy cannot guarantee or warrant that the final costs will not exceed these
estimated amounts, or that all ancillary costs related to the recommended actions are covered.
2.5 Action Year
For each identified action WalterFedy also identifies a year when that action should occur. This timing is based on
our knowledge of the typical lifecycles of building components before replacement is expected, but will also be
developed taking into consideration the unique situation of the component.
When a component lifecycle is less than the length of the study period (i.e., less than 30 years) the action item will
appear as many times in the future as the lifecycle requires within the study period.
2.6 Condition and Priority Rating System
As part of the RFP package, the client provided a template worksheet for identifying the various components within
the building, including defined condition ratings:
Table 3: Condition Definitions
Condition Definition
Very Good Asset is physically sound and is performing its function as originally intended.
Required maintenance costs are well within standards and norms. Typically, asset is new or
recently rehabilitated.
Good Asset is physically sound and is performing its function as originally intended.
Required maintenance costs are within acceptable standards and norms but are increasing.
Typically, the asset has been used for some time but is within mid -stage of its expected life.
Fair Asset is showing signs of deterioration and is performing at a lower level than originally
intended. Some components of the asset are becoming physically deficient. Required
maintenance costs exceed acceptable standards and norms are increasing. Typically, asset
has been used for a long time and is within the later stage of its expected life.
Poor Asset is showing significant signs of deterioration and is performing to a much lower
level than originally intended. A major portion of the asset is physically deficient. Required
maintenance costs significantly exceed acceptable standards and norms. Typically, asset is
approaching the end of its expected life.

Very Poor Asset is physically unsound and/or not performing as originally intended. Asset
has higher probability of failure or failure is imminent. Maintenance costs are unacceptable
and rehabilitation is not cost effective. Replacement/major refurbishment is required.
3 FACILITY CONDITION INDEX (FCI)
3.1 General Information and Methodology
The FCI is an industry standard key performance indicator (KPI) which can be used to objectively quantify and
evaluate the current condition (i.e., physical health) of an individual building, or to compare an individual building to
other buildings in a portfolio. It is based on the financial needs of the building only, and can help building owners and
managers make benchmark comparisons on the relative condition of buildings but should be used with care. The FCI
will not allow identification of priority actions or levels of risk associated with the building, nor a detailed list of all
the required Actions.
By using projected renewal and replacement costs a future FCI can be predicted that will demonstrate the changing
condition of the building over time.
FCI is typically expressed using the following equation:
FCI = Total Renewal and Repair Costs
Building Replacement Cost
Where:
• Renewal and repair costs are determined by the identified Repair or Replacement Action items.
• The building replacement cost represents the construction cost to building a building the same size, with the
same function, in accordance with current Standards and Codes, exclusive of land or real estate market costs.
The following benchmarks are typical industry standards used to indicate the overall building condition based on the
FCI calculation:
• FCI: 0-5%
Good Condition
• FCI: 5-10%
Fair Condition
• FCI: 10-30%
Poor Condition
• FCI: >30%
Critical Condition
Unless advised otherwise, WalterFedy uses a unit -cost -per -area construction cost based on current construction
market costs and comparable buildings.
3.2 Subject Building Details
As it stands, the building is currently in Good condition overall with an FCI score of 0.00%.
In order to examine how the condition of the building may change, we assume a "worst case" scenario where no
investment is made to the building. The FCI will continue to worsen (i.e., the percentage value will increase) and over
the next ten (10) years, the calculated 10 -year average FCI value is 12.64%. That means the facility will be in Poor
condition overall.
If the FCI is calculated in a longer term such as 20-30 years, some of the lifecycle replacement actions may be
repeated. Therefore, the calculation results will not accurately reflect the actual condition. Figure 1 displays the FCI
graph over the thirty (30) year study period.

Figures 2 and 3 provide an annual breakdown of forecast expenditures: Figure 2 represents the forecast replacement
costs (i.e., due to lifecycle needs or other reasons) and Figure 3 represents the forecast repair costs for elements that
do not require full replacement, but do require attention to return them to satisfactory condition.

SUMMARY
On May 9, 2022, Solucore Inc. performed an inspection of the vertical transportation equipment located at 25
Joseph Street, in Kitchener, Ontario, for Walterfedy. The purpose of the inspection was to check the general
condition and operation of the equipment and to note concerns and deficiencies. A detailed reserve fund study
and performance audit was performed. The vertical transportation consists of 2 traction Passenger elevators.
A visual review of the equipment was performed and the available documentation in the equipment room was
reviewed.
This inspection did not include a review of the safety aspects of the installation as this falls under the jurisdiction
of the governing authorities. There are no major areas in which the equipment is not in compliance with current
codes except as noted.
An electronic copy of the maintenance contract was not provided for review. The elevators appear to be covered
under the terms of a full maintenance contract with Delta Elevator. The typical elevator "full maintenance"
contract covers the replacement of major components in addition to the labour and materials necessary for
ongoing repairs, adjustment and preventative maintenance work. Entrances and cab finishes are normally
excluded. As long as "full maintenance" is purchased the only additional costs to the Owner should be for
malicious damage, repairs to the elevator cabs and entrances and replacement of obsolescent parts. We are
assuming, of course, that repairs required due to accidents or "Acts of God" (flood, fire, etc.) are covered by
insurance.
The schematics are located in the machine room and were laminated. The Maintenance Control Program (MCP)
was also reviewed and all items appear to be complete. The fire testing according to Technical Standards and
Safety Authority (TSSA) Code Amendment Document (CAD) 261-13 r1 and Director's Order 239/10 has been
completed and is available in the machine room.
The vertical transportation equipment installed at this location is generally considered to be of average quality in
terms of longevity, reliability and performance. The elevators have been located in an adequate manner to
provide a reasonable level of service for a building of this type and size. Car top railings have been installed and
are compliant with TSSA Code Amendment Document (CAD) 261-13 r1 and Director's Order 245/10. Machine
guarding has been installed as per Ministry of Labour (MOL) requirements.
The elevators were modernized in 2017 and will most likely require modernization again in the long term of this
review. This is mostly due to shortage in parts and expertise. Modernizing the equipment will also bring the
elevators up to new code requirements. Therefore, we have made some recommendations in the Possible
Upgrades and Concerns section of the report.

ITEMS OF CONCERN PASSENGER
Controls
Passenger: 1, 2 - The Delta elevator controls provided at this site are considered to be of reasonable quality. The
controllers are provided in several installations around the country. The controller is having Delta Diagnostic
Interface (DDI) to access the DMPC elevator controller, which may render them easy for others to service and
maintain. The advantages of having a non-proprietary elevator control system are: greater flexibility in selecting
the elevator contractor; ability to get competitive quotes; and wider sources for parts. The manufacturer should
also provide a certificate to the Owner pledging support for parts and labour.
Elevator Ride
Passenger: 1, 2 - The ride profiles consist of horizontal vibrations (front to rear or X-axis and side to side or Y-axis)
and vertical vibrations (up and down or Z-axis) as well as jerk and acceleration. Some of these vibrations are above
the recommended value and should be adjusted to improve the overall ride quality.
Manuals
Passenger: 1, 2 - A complete set of manuals should be provided to the Owner with the latest information on this
elevator equipment. The information should include the following where applicable: door operator manual, door
locks, clutch and door operator arms adjustment manual, car top devices, motor, machine, governor, rope gripper,
drive, controller, safeties, and door infrared detector manuals.
Performance
Passenger: 1, 2 - We observed during our maintenance audit that the elevator control system is not adequately
adjusted to provide optimum performance. Given the type of elevator(s) installed, the performance can be
significantly improved. Some of the performance concerns identified during the inspection include: car up and
down times, door open and close times and car dwell times.

NOTES ON PERFORMANCE DATA
1. The Operating Time is measured from the time the doors begin to close until they are three quarters open
at the next floor.
2. The Door Open Time is measured from the time the doors begin to open until they are fully open.
3. The Door Close Time is measured from the time the doors begin to close until they are completely closed.
4. The Door Dwell times are measured from the time the doors are fully open until they start to close after
answering a hall or car call.
5. Hall Advance Time is measured in seconds from the time the hall directional lantern chimes until the door
begins to open.
6. Noise levels are measured with an ANSI type 2 sound level meter on the "A" scale, set for an "F" response.
For elevators the running (fan) noise level is measured inside the cab with the doors closed; the door
operation noise level is measured during a full door open and close cycle. For escalators the ambient
noise level is measured at the respective landing with the meter at eye level; escalator noise level is
measured with the meter pointed to the respective deck plate.
7. Unless otherwise stated, all times are in seconds, all distances are in inches (in) or millimeters (mm), all
speeds are in feet per minute (fpm) or meter per second (mps), all capacities are in pounds (lbs) or
kilograms (kg), all sound levels are in decibels, all temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C)
and all forces are in pound -force (lbf) or Newton (N).
8. Unless otherwise stated, for elevators the terms "left" and "right" are used viewing the elevator from the
hall lobby. For escalators the terms "left" and "right" are used viewing the escalator from the bottom
landing looking up.
9. Acceleration is the change in velocity and is measured in feet per second squared (ft/sec') or meter per
second squared (m/sec') and is measured from peak -to -peak.
10. Jerk is the rate of change in acceleration and is measured in feet per second cubed (ft/sec') or meter per
second cubed (m/sec').

Some of the door equipment such as hall doors, entrance frames, car door equipment and sills are rusting and the
presence of rust on the equipment will eventually cause damage. To prevent further deterioration from occurring,
the equipment should be sanded and painted so that further damage does not occur. The scope of work includes
cleaning and treating the steel, sanding the equipment and priming and painting. Some components may need to
be replaced as required.
Total cost of upgrade : $4,000
REQUIRED - SHORT TERM (Passenger)
Code Changes and Vandalism (Short Term) (1, 2)
Some money should be set aside for code changes and to repair vandalism of the equipment or for other items
not covered under the maintenance contract. If the money is not used, it can be redistributed to help finance
some of the capital upgrade items.
Total cost of upgrade : $10,000

Code Changes and Vandalism (Mid Term) (1, 2)
Some money should be set aside for code changes and to repair vandalism of the equipment or for other items
not covered under the maintenance contract. If the money is not used, it can be redistributed to help finance
some of the capital upgrade items.
Total cost of upgrade : $10,000
Door Operators (1, 2)
The existing door operator(s) have a closed loop system. However, newer closed loop door operators are entering
the market that are more efficient and durable while still adjusting the door closing force to compensate for wind
pressure and other obstacles. Since door related calls represent 80% of the callbacks, it is not uncommon to
upgrade the door operators prior to a modernization. Therefore, an upgrade is recommended.
Total cost of upgrade : $30,000

Cab and Fixture Upgrade (1, 2)
The existing passenger cab enclosure(s) are in good condition, but starting to show signs of wear and tear. The
fixtures are in good condition, but are also easily damaged and stop buttons if equipped can also cause problems
with vandals. Hence, upgrading the cab and fixtures may be required in order to maintain a consistent standard
and clean looking elevator cab(s). Furthermore, upgrading the fixtures will increase the user's confidence with the
elevator because new fixtures are associated with new elevators. The upgrade will include emergency light, new
hall and car pushbuttons, new service panel and switches, integrated security capabilities where required, tactile
markings, new digital position indicator where chosen, integrated hands-free phone and license certificate. The
cab would also be refurbished.
Total cost of upgrade : $50,000
REQUIRED - LONG TERM (Passenger)
Major Modernization (1, 2)
Over time elevators will require modernization as certain elevator components may be unavailable due to
obsolescence. Additionally, as newer equipment designs become more predominant, the service personnel
capable of performing necessary adjustments will become increasingly difficult to find. Thus, in order to remain
competitive and ensure reliable elevator service over the long term, modernization of the elevators will likely be
required. Though parts are still available from elevator parts manufacturers they will become increasingly difficult
to source and expertise in trouble -shooting may eventually become scarce. The elevating device system in this
complex is equipped with a Variable Voltage Variable Frequency (VVVF) drive. This design has become very
common and popular. Therefore, a major modernization is anticipated depending on the need to compete with
other buildings, and how well this equipment functions. The scope of work would include replacing existing
controller with newer microprocessor based controls, replacing existing motor controls with newer solid-state
electronic VVVF, providing emergency lighting, and updating cab and fixtures if not already performed. Barrier
free requirements should also be addressed during this time if not compliant with local legislation. Other costs for
items like taxes, electrical work and patching should be added to the overall cost. We recommend budgeting a
contingency of 20% to cover these additional costs.

The ride quality appears to be poor in the Z-axis. The readings are greater than the suggested value and should be
improved. The contractor should review the ride quality in the Z-axis and make the necessary adjustment or
repairs to rollers, rails, stabilizers, etc. as required.
