155274.22P, p. 11 3/1/2022 Accessibility Survey Content BV will deliver an electronic (PDF) report. The report will utilize survey content which has been entered into the BV proprietary internet powered AssetCalc database, including the following information: •Summary of Findings for all primary regulated elements observed, such as parking, accessible routes, entrances, elevators, common corridors, and tenant dwelling units •Individually recorded exterior and interior barriers and associated digital photos •GPS-encoded digital photos of observed exterior barriers •Applicable regulatory guideline and building code references for each observed barrier •Recommendations for viable corrective measures necessary to comply with applicable regulations •Order of magnitude cost estimates for each observed barrier ADA Survey Limitations A Subject Matter Expert will visit the properties to assess the compliance of existing property improvements with the USDA requirements for multi-family housing under the USDA Rural Development program, and applicable accessibility code requirements. BV then produces a report which identifies each facility’s compliance issues and specific barriers, along with proposed remedies. BV endeavors to include all barriers within the defined scope of work area, however, some barriers may not be identified in the assessment report. BV’s order of magnitude cost estimates for each individual barrier removal are limited cost estimates based on industry standards, and should not be construed as construction estimates. Costs will be estimated using R.S. Means, Marshall & Swift, or similar industry cost indices, and BV’s experience with past costs for similar properties, without the benefit of site-specific architectural or engineering design or contractor estimates. An additional estimating effort will be required to define the actual cost of corrective actions to eliminate accessibility barriers. Order of magnitude estimates are not based on, and will not include, detailed specifications or architectural/engineering drawings. If requested, Bureau Veritas can provide a proposal for subsequent ADA Transition Planning and Construction Project Management services. Transition Plans are based on the results of the property ADA assessment, and provide a structured plan for compliance within specific time frames and cost parameters. Transition Plans are action plans based on capital planning needs correlated with accurate engineering data. Transition Plan development is an iterative process to create a living document which can be adjusted over time. During the Transition Planning process, barrier removal is prioritized to determine which barriers are required to be removed and the timeframe for removal. Not all physical barriers identified by the physical assessment of the property may need to be corrected. Some barriers may be the responsibility of others, or can be corrected through tenant accommodation. In addition, construction industry standards for construction and manufacturing tolerances can be applied to determine which barriers may fall within tolerance levels. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the owner to assess the requirements for barrier removal under USDA Rural Development program requirements, and the State of California and local government requirements to create an accessible environment. It is incumbent upon the owner to initiate a transition planning process to determine which barriers will be removed and when removal should take place. Expanded Termite Inspection – Interior and Exterior Bureau Veritas will arrange to have a termite inspection performed for the above-named property. The termite inspection will consist of an interior and outdoor visual assessment of the property and structure to identify evidence of current or past presence of wood-destroying organisms. The process will include an identification of termite type (if applicable), the extent of any infestation(s) and any recommendations for treatment, if required.
