BACKGROUND Earlier this year the Fire Department moved to the new Fire Station 52, now the Department's headquarters station, on the City Hall campus. This leaves the former Fire Station 52 site, located at the top of Tukwila Hall, vacant. The building was built in 1971 and has operated as a Fire Station for more than 40 years. As the City determines disposition of the property, staff has identified four potential alternatives, all of which have their own nuances and differing alternatives within them: • Retain the existing building and property and repurpose for City or community use; • Sell and/or lease the property to a nonprofit or other similar organization for community use; • Sell the property to a private party for personal use; or • Demolish the existing building and revert the property to a public park — either passive or active. DISCUSSION In April of this year the City commissioned a property conditions report for the building, which is attached to this memo. The scope of the property conditions report is limited to what is visible and identifies that there could be unseen issues in the building. The report identified $181,189 of needed repairs over the next 12 years, of which $129,669 are recommended to be completed within the next five years. These costs do not include any potential remodel to the building that would needed to create a civic or community space and are only a rough estimate at this time. The true costs of these needed repairs would need to be ascertained during a bid process. One unknown that will require further investigation is the reality that this building served as a working fire station for over 40 years and has been subject to diesel exhaust throughout this use. There is the possibility of other contamination as well. This building was constructed before much of the information we now have regarding the chemical exposure associated with firefighting, and this was one of the major reasons to replace the station, along with other outdated issues that impede the high level of fire service delivery. Below are the pros and cons associated with each of the alternatives identified above. • Alternative 1: City retains the existing building and repurposes for City or community use. This alternative would provide another community space that could be used for a variety of events, from art shows to farmers markets to other potential uses. This alternative would require an unknown up -front capital outlay to not only initiate the needed repairs identified in the property conditions report, but also would require remodeling and updating. This alternative would also Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206-433-1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov 1 require staff time to program the building as well as ongoing normal maintenance. Events may be limited by inadequate parking on site and limited street parking. • Alternative 2: City sells or leases to a nonprofit or other community group. This alternative could look a variety of different ways, depending on a final agreement after a public process. If the City were to sell under this scenario, it could potentially by an "as -is" sale, requiring no additional investment. Any sort of a lease scenario would likely require additional capital outlay for the needed repairs and potential remodel. The City has already been approached by a community member interested in using the facility for an arts space. However, at this point staff has not engaged in further conversations to better understand what type of agreement the party would be interested in pursuing. In addition, any sort of sale or lease process would need to go through a public process. Uses may be limited by inadequate parking on site and limited street parking. Sale of the property would require a boundary line adjustment as the park, former City Hall building and former fire station are all on the same lot. • Alternative 3: City sells to a private entity. The City has already been approached by a broker representing an individual interested in purchasing the old fire station. This alternative would also require a public process and staff anticipates there would be interest from other parties. The City could sell the property as -is with no additional capital outlays. Sale of the property would require a boundary line adjustment as the park, former City Hall building and former fire station are all on the same lot. • Alternative 4: City turns the site into a park. While this alternative would require the up -front cost to demolish the existing building, there is a significant range in cost to convert the site to a park, depending if it was made passive or active. Transforming the site into a park would fit well with the existing uses of the adjacent former City Hall (currently leased to the Tukwila Historical Society) and park. It would also retain options for possible future site plans. The City contemplated selling the Fire Station 52 site as a part of funding the overall Public Safety Plan. However, given the increase in value of the former motel sites, and the agreed-upon purchase and sale of those properties, leasing or retaining the former Fire Station 52 site would not have an adverse impact on the Public Safety Plan finance model. However, retaining and/or repurposing the building would require additional capital, as well as ongoing staff and maintenance costs not currently accounted for in the City's budget. RECOMMENDATION Due to the building served as a working fire station for over 40 years and has been subject to diesel exhaust throughout its use, the Administration recommends the Alternative 4, that the City retain the property but demolish the building and turn it into a park. The City could use one-time savings from the new Fire Station 52 project to demolish the building and either seek grant funds to develop the park — either passive or active — or identify other City funds for park development. While the Administration certainly sees value in the potential of retaining the building for community use, the costs associated with needed -repairs, ongoing maintenance, and staff time are a barrier to transforming the building to such a use given the normal City budget constraints not tied to the pandemic. Additionally, the Administration does not believe selling to a private entity would be a good course of action given the adjacent park and former City Hall building. Finally, the Administration is concerned about keeping the building vacant for any significant period of time could cause further deterioration, potential for various nuisances and other unwanted issues. Staff is seeking consensus from the Committee on next steps, recognizing they may want additional information on one or two of the alternatives to make a final recommendation to the full Council.

According to King County Records, the property was constructed in 1971. The property is relatively flat and consists of an asphalt parking lot and mature landscaping outside of the building itself. Adjacent to the property there are primarily residential properties. The roofs of this building are pitched and are surfaced with asphalt composition roof surfacing. The exterior of this building is clad with bare exposed aggregate concrete and diagonal wood lap siding and wood trim. The windows of this building are aluminum -frame windows. Like all properties, this property will require capital maintenance. We have itemized areas of capital maintenance that we anticipate over the next twelve (12) years along with estimated costs and estimated schedule of repair/replacement. 1.2 IMMEDIATE NECESSARY CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Table 1.3 below shows the items that are in need of action immediately or within the near future. This is a summary; all tasks are explained in greater detail in Section 3.0 Physical Analysis.

I WWW.SAMDALASSOCIATES.COM I P: (206) 412-4305 5 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR FIRE STATION 52 DATED APRIL 26, 2021 2.0 INTRODUCTION AND STANDARD DISCLAIMERS 2.1 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION AND REPORT The primary purpose of this Property Condition Assessment is to provide our client with a planning and budgeting tool to adequately maintain the property 12 years into the future and to minimize unexpected major costs. This study is intended to provide our client with an understanding of their property and to bring to light necessary immediate expenditures and reasonably anticipated future capital expenses that should be addressed. Owners will benefit from adequately maintain their properties and our Property Condition Assessments provide our clients with the tools to implement capital maintenance. When small issues and maintenance items are addressed prior to becoming larger problems, there is typically a significant overall savings for a property owner. Properly maintained properties maintain higher property values than those with an abundance of deferred maintenance. 2.2 SCOPE OF INSPECTION AND REPORT This inspection is a standard visual inspection of the property. This visual inspection focuses on the typical features of a building and surrounding property such as structure, drainage, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and interior finishes. This inspection is limited to accessible and visible areas. All inspections are performed in accordance to the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers (NABIE) Standards of Practice, which can be viewed at www.nabie.org. 2.3 SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY This Property Condition Assessment has been prepared based on our proposal to the Client dated March 16, 2021, which was based on our correspondence with Rachel Bianchi and King County Records. Information Gathering Our initial task was to gather information regarding the property such as drawings, maintenance records, and historical background. This Property Condition Assessment is a reflection of the information provided to us. Physical Analysis Following the initial correspondence regarding the property, we performed an inspection of the property on April 20, 2021 so that we may provide an opinion of the current condition of the common building components. This is also the basis for our opinion of the anticipated capital needs that the Owner will be responsible for over the next 12 years. This was a visual inspection and no invasive or destructive testing was performed. This visual inspection focused on the typical features of a building and surrounding property such as structure, drainage, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and interior finishes. This inspection was limited to accessible and visible areas. The physical analysis included the following tasks: 1. Identification of Anticipated Capital Expenses: We consider anticipated capital expenses to be major expenses that can be reasonably predicted. Anticipated capital expenses are not considered routine maintenance such as routine landscaping or touch-up paint; routine maintenance should be taken care of through an operating budget. Nor do we consider anticipated capital needs to be expenditures that result from an accident or an unpredictable event, such as flood damage or earthquake damage; these items should be paid for by insurance. The general criteria that we used to define an anticipated capital expense that warranted inclusion on our Itemized capital expenses is the following: ■ Repair or replacement of the component is significant and not budgeted for in the operating budget. ■ The component repair or replacement occurs within the period of this study. 2. Estimated Replacement Schedule: Our opinions of the various life expectancy estimates that we prepared are based on a combination of the following: ■ National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) averages PAGE 4 OF 35 SAMDAI. & ASSOCIATES, INC. AGW W.SAMDAI.ASSOCTATES.COiNI P: (206) 412-4305 6 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR FIRE STATION 52 DATED APRIL 26, 2021 Building Owners and Managers (BOMA) averages ■ Product vendors and suppliers ■ Our company database 3. Estimated Replacement Cost: Our opinions of the various costs for repair or replacement are based on a combination of the following: Marshall & Swift R.S. Means ■ Product vendors and suppliers ■ Our company database 2.4 SOURCES OF INFORMATION The following people provided us information for this study: ■ Henry Ancira, Superintendent, City of Tukwila The following documents were viewed as part of this study ■ Maintenance Ledger 2005-2020 ■ Architectural Drawings, by R. James Dersham, dated 1971 ■ Restroom Improvement Drawings, by (vary & Associates, dated June 19, 2006 The physical inspection of the property occurred on the following date: ■ April 20, 2021 PAGE 5 OF 35 I SAMDAL & ASSOCIATES, INC. I WWW.SAMDALASSOCIATES.COM I P: (206) 412-4305 7 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR FIRE STATION 52 DATED APRIL 26, 2021 3.0 PHYSICAL ANALYSIS 3.1 COMPONENT ASSESSMENT AND VALUATION The component assessment and valuation of the itemized capital expenses on this property was done by providing our opinion of Useful Life, Remaining Useful Life, and Repair or Replacement Costs for each of the components. Table 3.1A lists this component inventory, and is based on the information that we were provided and on onsite visual observations. The remainder of "Section 3.0 Physical Analysis" details each of the items in Table 3.1A using narratives and photos. They are meant to be read together. Table 3.1B is a summary of expenses, grouped according to their expense category. Chart 3.1B is a pie chart illustrating the same. Table 3.1A Key: Quantity - The total quantity of each component. Units - SF = Square Feet SY = Square Yards LF = Lineal Feet EA = Each LS = Lump Sum SQ = Roofing Square (10 ft X 10 ft) Cost/Unit - The cost of a component. The unit cost is multiplied by the component's quantity to obtain the total estimated replacement cost for the component. Remaining Life — An opinion of the probable remaining life, in years that a component can be expected to continue to serve its intended function. Replacements anticipated to occur in the initial or base year have "zero" Remaining Life. Useful Life - Total Useful Life or Depreciable Life. An opinion of the total probable life, in years, that a component can be expected to serve its intended function in its present condition. PAGE 6 OF 35 I SAMDAL & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Aerial image of property (courtesy of Google Earth) General Description of Site The subject property is approximately 1.16 acres and is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of 59th Ave S and S 147th St. There is one building containing a 3,300 square feet fire station. According to King County Records, the property was constructed in 1971. The property is relatively flat and consists of an asphalt parking lot and mature landscaping outside of the building itself. Adjacent to the property there are primarily residential properties.

However, we recommend that the asphalt be sealed and restriped in 2021. The cost to seal and stripe a lot of this size will be approximately 36 cents per square foot including tax. This level of maintenance will likely be necessary every 5 years. Storm System There are storm drains located in the parking lots. We do not know the specific configuration of this storm system as no drawings were available. However, the storm system appears to be effective as there was no evidence of significant standing water in the parking lot around this property. East Asphalt Parking Lot Storm Drain PAGE 12 OF 35 I SAMDAL & ASSOCIATES, INC.

There is also a concrete sidewalk on the east side of the building. The concrete flatwork on this property is generally in good condition. Concrete Parking Lot at the South Side of the Property PAGE 14 OF 35 I SAMDAL & ASSOCIATES, INC. I WWW.SAMDALASSOCIATES.COM 1 P: (206) 412-4305 16 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR FIRE STATION 52 DATED APRIL 26, 2021 3.3 STRUCTURE Foundation The foundation was only partially visible. Therefore, we look for indirect evidence of distress to ascertain the condition of the foundation. It is possible that even with little or no evidence; there is a problem that is undetectable during a visual inspection. The foundation of this building consists of a concrete slab -on -grade foundation. Presumably, there are grade beams around the perimeter and interior concrete piers and/or concrete ribbon footings on the interior of this building beneath the concrete floor; however, this was not visible. Framing The majority of the framing in this building was not visible for inspection. Therefore, we based much of our opinion on the superstructure of this building on indirect observations such as uneven areas, bulges, and other evidence of distress. Much like the foundation, it is possible that there are structural deficiencies that were not visible. The superstructure of this building consists of concrete walls, presumably steel -enforced. The roof of this building is supported by glue -laminated wood beams that support wood purlins, that support wood rafters, that ultimately support the plywood roof deck. Based on the age and type of this building as well as the available evidence, we believe the ability of this structure to resist a seismic event is fair. This is not a seismic analysis of this structure, as that is well beyond the scope of this investigation and would require extensive analysis with precise measurements, drawings, calculations, and modeling. Wood Rafters Visible in the Damaged Ceiling Glue -Laminated Beams Supporting the Roof PAGE 15 OF 35 I SAMDAL & ASSOCIATES, INC. I WWW.SAMDALASSOCIATES.COM 1 P: (206) 412-4305 17 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR FIRE STATION 52 DATED APRIL 26, 2021 3.4 ROOFING The roofs of this building are pitched and are surfaced with asphalt composition roof surfacing. There are two levels of roofs with a clerestory in between these roofs. These roofs drain down to a gutter/downspout system. The roof surface is nominally a 30 -year surface; however, we do not know when this roof surface was installed. The actual shingles of this roof appear to have approximately 5 years remaining life; however, there have been numerous leaks in this roof over the recent past that we suspect that this was not an adequate roof installation, perhaps the underlayment was not installed properly. Therefore, we recommend that the roof surface be replaced within the next year. The gutters and downspouts appear to be functioning properly; however, they are old, and it would make sense to replace the gutters and the downspouts when this building is re -clad.

The windows of this building are aluminum -frame windows. Concrete Exterior The north and south sides of the building are primarily bare exposed aggregate concrete, which is also the structural walls of this building. This concrete appears to be in good condition and is relatively low maintenance. Wood Siding and Trim Many areas of the wood trim on this building are rotting, plus areas of the siding on the west side of the building and the west side of the tower are rotting. While other areas of the siding do have some life remaining, the siding was never primed before it was painted. Therefore, we believe that complete removal of the current paint, spot repairs, priming, and painting would not be nearly as good of a value as simply replacing the siding and trim; as complete replacement would still be necessary within the next 5-7 years. Therefore, we recommend complete replacement of the wood siding and trim within the next year. Windows The aluminum -frame windows on this building are older and not very energy efficient. We recommend that all windows and pedestrian doors be replaced at the time of exterior re -cladding as the building envelope works as a system and all flashings can then be properly integrated. Exterior Re -Painting and Re -Caulking Following exterior siding and trim replacement, the siding and trim will need to be painted. Typically, owners should clean, caulk, and repaint this type of exterior siding and trim every 7 to 10 years, depending on how the caulk and paint is holding up. We recommend repainting to be performed every 8 years. Often, the painting schedule is dictated by the south and west sides of the buildings, as that is typically hit by weather hardest in our area. Prior to repainting, the exteriors should be properly prepared for painting by scraping all loose paint off and spot replacing areas of siding and trim where necessary.

A large portion of the electrical system is hidden. The main electrical service comes to this building underground. Therefore, proper markings of the incoming power line should be done prior to any digging around this building. The power coming into this building is not listed. There are multiple electrical service panels located in this building. A spot check of electrical outlets revealed no problems. The electrical systems on this property appeared adequate and this system should provide many more years of relatively low maintenance service. There is a Cummins Generator at the north side of the building that appears to be relatively modern. This generator and the generator transfer switch should have a lifespan well beyond the 12 -year duration of this study. The interior lighting in this building consists of typical hanging fluorescent lights.

The supply piping on this property is primarily copper. The waste piping in this building is ABS plastic and iron. We tested the majority of the plumbing fixtures on this property, and we believe that generally the supply piping and waste piping in this building is adequate. Typical plumbing maintenance and minor leak repair are anticipated with any property. The domestic water in this building is provided by one Rinnai tankless water heater. These types of tankless water heaters have a typical lifespan of 15 years. Rinnai Tankless Water Heater Typical Copper Supply Piping PAGE 23 OF 35 I SAMDAL & ASSOCIATES, INC. I WWW.SAMDALASSOCIATES.COM 1 P: (206) 412-4305 25 PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR FIRE STATION 52 DATED APRIL 26, 2021 3.8 HVAC SYSTEMS The HVAC systems in this building consist of a Reznor hanging furnace located in the garage of this building and an exhaust capture system. There are also simple electric wall heaters and electric baseboard heaters in the office of this building. The hanging Reznor heater appears to be a fairly old unit; however, we could not pull the date off of this unit. It is difficult to determine how long the Reznor furnace will last; however, at some point in the future when is no longer functional, it will cost approximately $2,800 to replace. The exhaust capture unit also appears to be relatively old. As we understand, this building will most likely not be used as a garage anymore; therefore, this unit no longer serves a function.

The fire alarm system includes smoke and heat detectors, pull stations, audio -video annunciators (combination strobe and speaker), and links to the fire sprinkler flow meters. Manual pull stations are located at the exits and critical points within the building. Annunciator units are located in all occupied spaces, rooms, and corridors. We have assumed that this system will be updated every 25 years. This system is currently monitored and tested via Washington Alarm, but is now 8 months out of service, based on the tag. This building is served by a wet fire suppression system, meaning that it utilizes only water for fire suppression. This system is currently monitored and tested via Cintas but is now 7 years out of service based on the tag. We do not anticipate any capital needs expenditures associated with the fire suppression system within the 12 -year duration of this study.

We believe that the owners are the best judge of their threshold for technically insignificant interior defects. Therefore, we do not comment regarding minor, technically insignificant interior defects. There are some stained and damaged acoustic ceiling tiles that will need to be replaced. Beyond this, there is nothing that must be done on the interior of this building, as we did not identify any areas of the interior that needs work at this time. We assume that future upgrades and renovations will occur after a future use is determined for this building.

Both of these garage doors were operating effectively at the time of our inspection. Due to the frequent use of the garage doors, we recommend budgeting for replacing these garage doors every 16 years and the garage door openers every 8 years. We also recommend a full maintenance contract be in place for these garage doors with a door technician such as Cressy Door or Davis Door.

We do not intend for any other party to rely on this report without our expressed written consent. If another individual or party relies on this study, they shall indemnify and hold Jeff Samdal & Associates harmless for any damages, losses, or expenses they incur as a result of its use. This Property Condition Assessment is a reflection of the information provided to us. This report has been prepared for the City of Tukwila's use, not for the purpose of performing an audit, quality/forensic analyses, or background checks of historical records. Our inspection report is not an exhaustive technical inspection of the property. During a typical inspection, no invasive inspection is performed, no furnishings are moved, and no finishes are removed. This report is a snap shot in time of the condition of the property at the time of inspection. The remaining life values that we list are based on our opinion of the remaining useful life and are by no means a guarantee. Our opinions are based on what we believe one could reasonably expect and are not based on worst case scenarios. These opinions are based upon our experience with other buildings of similar age and construction type. Opinions will vary and you may encounter contractors and/or consultants with differing opinions from ours. Ratings of various building components are most often determined by comparison to other buildings of similar age and construction type. The quality of materials originally impacts our judgment of their current state. The life expectancy estimates that we prepare are based on National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) averages, Building Owners and Managers (BOMA) averages, product defined expected life averages, and our own assessment of typical life expectancy based on our experience with similar components in our area. This report will tell you a great deal about the overall condition of this property. However, this report does not constitute a warranty, an insurance policy, or a guarantee of any kind. Owning any property involves some risk and while we can give an excellent overview of the property, we cannot inspect what we cannot see. Our inspection and report do not include building code compliance or municipal regulatory compliance. Nor do they include mold investigations, hazardous materials investigations, or indoor air quality analysis. The purpose of this report is not intended to be a statement of insurability of this property as insurance companies have particular standards for insurability of certain building types and certain building materials. While we may comment that certain components have been recalled that we are aware of, we are not aware of all recalls. It is beyond the scope of this inspection to determine all systems or components that are currently or will be part of any recall in the future. You may wish to subscribe or contact the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) web site for recall information regarding any system or component. If a problem is encountered on your property, we cannot be responsible for any corrective action that you take, unless we have the opportunity to review the conditions, before repairs are made. Please ensure that you have read and understand our proposal to perform this Property Condition Assessment that was signed prior to our inspection. If you have any questions regarding this document, please contact us. We appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance and we hope that we have provided you a clear understanding of your financial situation and given you a better overall understanding of the your property. This report supersedes any opinion or discussion that occurred during the inspection and should be considered our complete opinion of the condition of this property. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this report. We will be happy to be of assistance. Jeff Samdal, PE, RS, PRA PAGE 34 OF 35 SAMDAI. & ASSOCIATES, INC.
