We would appreciate your review of our <br /> assessment end would like to discuss your impression of these notes as soon as possible. <br /> Project DescripHon <br /> 7'he intent of the project is to relocate an existing inmate program into the Carnegie building <br /> temporarily until space in the existing jail building can be remodeled and made available for <br /> occupancy. It is anticipated that the Carnegie building will be occupied by Work Releasc from <br /> ]uly 2002 until June 2005. This relocstion involves approximately 50-60 inmates,of mixed <br /> gender,and Corrections staff. Only the upper floor of the building involves inmate housing and <br /> that is where the majority of the construction work is anticipated,with the exception of the fire <br /> suppression system. <br /> This project is not intended as renovation ofa historic strucmre, listed on both the Stnte and <br /> National register of historic places. 'Ihe proposed project involves temporery interior <br /> modifications necessary to relocate the Work Release progmm only. 'Ihem are no exterior <br /> improvements or modifications. The water service for the sprinl.ler systems will nad to enter <br /> the building,but that is the only pertnanent change to the exterior of the building. Interior I <br /> modifications are responses to Code mandated items like incressing the number of plumbing <br /> fixtures consistent with the anticipated population, improving accessibility inside end ouuide i <br /> the building,and other life safety items like smoke detectors,exit signs and additional doors to <br /> facilitate exiting from the dortnitory spaces. <br /> The following sections address specific excerpts taken from!he Historic Building Code(HBC). <br /> Direct quotes from the HBC are shown in italics. There are references to specific"parts" of the <br /> HBC so we have added occasional references to the specific part of the HHC for clarity. Not <br /> all parts are included in our assessment so there are gaps in the number sequence. The <br /> assessment starts with Pert I, on the next page. <br /> ]II SOUfN 1�CNSON STFEET![ATTI[WA 9810�TI Y08 773 5555 fl 20E 641]300 1/ <br />
