Structural Frame: Looks repairable but requires detailed data or field <br /> measurement to determine member capacities. <br /> Walls/Envelope: Disrepair leaves steel framing vulnerable to further <br /> deterioration. <br /> o Rail Car(Loa out Bay) Building: <br /> • Extensive damage, especially to column anchor bolts and concrete piers. <br /> ® Impact damage from rail car operations; columns/girts detached,piers <br /> deteriorated. <br /> • W&S originally recommended demolition and replacement, but discussion <br /> F indicated repair as the practical path due to time and budget constraints. <br /> ® oundations: <br /> o Uncertainty whether foundations are isolated piers or strip footings. Some original <br /> site/foundation plans available, but not comprehensive, <br /> • Future Use & Lease Terms: <br /> • Operational future is uncertain beyond the 2-year lease plus possible 1-year <br /> extension, <br /> • National Guard is divesting property back to the Commonwealth for master <br /> planning. <br /> • Board acknowledged repairs must be weighed against the possible short <br /> remaining lease term. <br /> 2. Discussion on Extent and Feasibility of Repairs <br /> • Operator Perspective (Carl Cavossa): <br /> • Prefers targeted repairs (beams, purlins, some footings) rather than full <br /> reconstruction. <br /> • Has solicited local contractor(AIA Steel) for repair estimate/design-, prepared to <br /> undertake phased repairs. <br /> • Financial and Contractual Responsibilities: <br /> • Ambiguity over which damages are attributable to operator vs, pre-existing <br /> conditions. <br /> • Operator expressed willingness to participate in ongoing repairs and has <br /> previously contributed significantly to facility upkeep. <br /> • Prioritization of Repairs: <br /> • Immediate repairs needed in areas with clear structural compromise (rail tower <br /> area, purlins, girts, some mainframes). <br /> • Full building envelope repairs (roof/walls) found to be lower priority unless <br /> seeking longevity well beyond current lease window. <br /> 3. Permit and Inspection Jurisdiction <br /> a Confusion Over Authority: <br />
