Ranking and Classification <br />Based upon Consultant's <br />observations, research and <br />judgment, along with consulting <br />commonly accepted empirical <br />Expected Useful Life (EUL) tables; <br />Consultant will render an opinion as <br />to when a system or component will <br />most probably necessitate <br />replacement. <br />Accurate historical replacement <br />records provided by the facility <br />manager are typically the best source <br />for this data. Exposure to the <br />weather elements, initial system <br />quality and installation, extent of <br />use, the quality and amount of <br />preventive maintenance exercised <br />are all factors that impact the <br />effective age of a system or <br />component. As a result, a system or <br />component may have an effective <br />age that is greater or less than its <br />actual age. The Remaining Useful Life <br />(RUL) of a component or system <br />equals the EUL less its effective age. <br />• Currently Critics l(Immedful.) <br />• Items in this category require immediate action and include a cited safely hazard, <br />areas of accelerated deterioration, and return a building component to normal <br />operation. <br />• P.t.n11.11y Crflk.l(Your l) ' <br />• Items in this category require colon in the next year and Include components <br />experiencing Intermittent operations, poterelal life safety esues, rapid <br />deterioration, and returning a building component to normal operation. <br />'0• Necuss.ry—Nd Yet Critical (Years 2-3) <br />4 • Items in this category require appropriate attention to preclude predictable <br />deterioration, potential dowraime, additional damage, energy efficiency projects <br />and higher costs to remediation if deferred further. <br />• Recommandd (Ye.n 4-5) <br />• Items in this category represent a sensible Improvement to the existing conditions. <br />These are not required for Ilse most basic function of the facility; however, Priority <br />4 projects will improve overall usability and/or reduce long-term maintenance <br />costs. <br />• Do.s not Meet Code./Sland.rds "G.

The five classes below are typical but can <br />be altered to meet your specifications and needs: <br />Priority 1: Currently Critical (Immediate): Requiring immediate action including a cited safety hazard and areas of <br />accelerated deterioration, returning a building component to normal operation. <br />Priority 2: Potentially Critical (Year 1): Requiring action in the next year including components experiencing <br />intermittent operations, potential life safety issues, and rapid deterioration, returning a building component to <br />normal operation. <br />Priority 3: Necessary — Not Yet Critical (Years 2-3): Requiring appropriate attention to preclude predictable <br />deterioration, potential downtime, additional damage, and higher costs to remediation if deferred further. <br />Priority 4: Recommended (Years 4-5): Representing a sensible improvement to the existing conditions (not <br />required for the most basic function of the facility; however, will improve overall usability and/or reduce long-term <br />maintenance costs). <br />Priority 5: Does Not Meet Current Code but "Grandfathered": No Action required at this time but should <br />substantial work be undertaken correction would be required. <br />The deficiencies observed will be classified into categories such as those below using the Uniformat System (up to 8 <br />levels). <br />Site <br />Architectural <br />Exterior Systems <br />Exterior Finishes <br />Life Safety Systems <br />Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems <br />Plumbing Systems <br />Electrical and Service Distribution Systems <br />REV: f1trFVAQR.2017.010/EMG Corp FCA Page 14 of 22 <br />
