CBI Job No.: 17009
Dear Mr. Hanson:
CBI Consulting (CBI) has performed a review of the interior conditions at the First Parish Meeting House in Tyngsborough, MA.
The Town of Tyngsborough commissioned the Feasibility Study following the purchase of the building in order to assess the existing interior conditions and to develop a program for repairs/renovations. The study also included evaluation of MEP and accessibility upgrades needed to satisfy planned use of the building based on the information provided by the Town of Tyngsborough.
The building is a significant historic structure to the historic fabric of the town and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The result of this study will provide options and recommendations to extend the life of the building, and provide better use of the structure and site while respecting the historic character of the building and the original materials.
Very truly yours,CBI Consulting Inc.

Re: Existing Conditions Report
CBI Job No.: 17009
Dear Mr. Hanson:
CBI has prepared this Existing Conditions Assessment to outline the scope and extent of
recommended repairs and replacements to various interior building components and
materials, based on their condition and historical integrity. The recommendations listed in
the report also include new programming for the building developed based on the information
received from the Town of Tyngsborough.
CBI visited the site on January 25, 2017 to evaluate the existing interior conditions. To assist
with incidental demolition during the exploration, CBI engaged Complete Restoration &
Waterproofing, Inc. to perform the investigation. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire
protection and alarm systems were assessed and recommendations provided by BLW
Engineers, Inc. Compliance with the current building code and accessibility upgrades were
evaluated by Code Red Consultants. The interior finishes were visually inspected and
samples collected to determine the presence of hazardous materials by PEER Consultants,
P.C.
The following sections summarize our findings and repair recommendations. Attached to the
report are findings from our consultants as well as a preliminary cost estimate developed for
the budgeting of future repairs and upgrades by PM&C.
Basement Level
Observations: The Basement level is approximately 2,700 square feet and consists of three
(3) classrooms, open meeting space, kitchen, Men’s and Women’s Bathrooms and the
Mechanical Room. The Basement is accessible from the First Floor level by a wooden
staircase (Stair 1) located on the right-hand side of the building (facing Sanctuary) and from
the exterior by a concrete staircase located at the rear of the building. The existing finishes
are in fair to poor condition and are slated to be demolished.
Recommendations and New Design: The new layout of the Basement will accommodate the
program for the Recreation Department consisting of a large meeting room, open meeting
space, commercial kitchen, Men’s and Women’s accessible bathrooms, storage rooms as well

as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and elevator machine rooms. A new wooden stair
leading from the Basement level up to the Attic will be reconstructed in place of Stair 2. The
Rear Stair will be reconstructed to provide uniform treads and risers per the requirements of
521 CMR. The exterior foundation wall will receive spray foam insulation to improve the
energy efficiency of the building and new vinyl windows will be installed throughout the
Basement. New durable and low-maintenance finishes will be installed throughout.
First Floor Level
Observations: The First Floor level is approximately 2,500 square feet and consists of the
Lobby area, Sanctuary and two (2) stairwells – a wooden stairwell (Stair 1) located on the
right-hand side of the building, facing Sanctuary, leading to the Basement level and a wooden
winding stairwell (Stair 2) located on the left-hand side of the building, facing Sanctuary,
leading to the Mezzanine level. The majority of existing finishes are in fair to good condition
with some of the finishes in poor condition.
Recommendations and New Design: The Sanctuary and the Lobby will remain in their
current configuration and the intent is to retain the original finishes to the fullest extent
possible. A new handicapped accessible entry will be provided on the former Stair 1 space
with an exterior ramp to provide assessible access for the patrons.
The carpet in the Lobby will be removed existing wood flooring throughout the First Floor
will be repaired as needed and refinished. The existing decorative floor grates in the
Sanctuary isles will remain and will be refinished. The ramps leading up the Altar in the
Sanctuary will be extended to meet the current slope requirements of 521 CMR and will
receive railings on each side of the ramps. The body of the pews will be prepared for paint
and seats will be stripped of the paint and polyurethane and varnished. CBI recommends that
the plaster at the walls be removed and walls filled in with spray foam insulation and finished
with gypsum wall board. The existing plaster and lathe and tin covered barrel vault ceiling
will be prepared for paint. The existing wood paneled wall between the Lobby and the
Sanctuary will remain and will be prepared for paint. Wood trim will be prepared for paint
and the existing original and replacement windows will be replaced with wood clad windows.
The existing chandelier in the Sanctuary will be rewired and retrofitted with new LED lamps.
Additional period and architecturally appropriate lighting will be provided throughout the
First Floor level.
The current 521 CMR requirements call for the installation of a chair lift at the Altar. The
Town of Tyngsborough would like to pursue a variance for this requirement.
Mezzanine Level
Observations: The Mezzanine level is approximately 600 square feet and consists of one (1)
large open room that was at some point in time divided into two smaller rooms and one (1)
room located in the space above Stair 1. The Mezzanine is accessible from the First Floor
level by a winding wooden staircase (Stair 2) located on the left-hand side of the building
(facing Sanctuary) with access to the Attic level provided by the same stairwell. The
majority of existing finishes are in fair to poor condition.

April 7, 2017
Recommendations and New Design: The interior partition for the smaller meeting room will
be removed to create one large open room. The smaller room over the Stair 1 space will be
utilized to accommodate the LULA and a small storage closet. The access to the Mezzanine
level and to the Attic level will be provided by a newly reconfigured wooden stairwell located
in the former Stair 2 space.
The existing wood flooring will be filled in as needed and refinished. The wood paneling at
the wall between the Mezzanine and the Sanctuary will be removed and a new wood
guardrail will be installed to meet the current building code requirements. New guardrails
will be installed at the large windows to address the gap between the window and the floor.
CBI recommends that the plaster at the walls and barrel vault ceiling at the Mezzanine level
be removed and walls filled in with spray foam insulation and finished with gypsum wall
board. Wood trim will be prepared for paint and the existing original and replacement
windows will be replaced with wood clad windows. Period and architecturally appropriate
lighting will be provided throughout the space.
Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection (MEPFP) and Fire Alarm
The existing conditions and recommendations for repairs or replacement of the MEPFP and
Fire Alarm systems are described in the attached report provided by BLW Engineers, Inc.
Accessibility
The cost of the recent exterior renovation on the building and the slated repairs and upgrades
to the interior will exceed 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building. Therefore, all
public portions of the building are required to meet the current requirements of the 521 CMR.
The full description of the required upgrades is described in the attached report provided by
Code Red Consultants.
Hazardous Materials
The existing finishes that may be disturbed during the renovation project were visually
surveyed and multiple samples were collected and later tested to determine the presence of
lead paint and asbestos. The full description of the sampling and analysis is described in the
attached report provided by PEER Consultants, P.C.
Please contact the undersigned with any questions.
Very truly yours,
CBI Consulting Inc.

PLUMBING
Summary of Existing Conditions
Domestic Water System
Existing 1” service has been observed on the
north side of the building under a stair. The
service appears to be disconnected with the
water meter removed and the domestic water
system permanently winterized. The domestic
hot water system was served by an existing 40
gallon electric water heater
Storm System
Currently the building does not have a storm
system and the roof structure does not require
one.
Sanitary System
The existing sanitary system is connected to an
outdoor septic tank. The Town has provided
information that the system is not functioning,
therefore the current sanitary system is not
reusable.
Plumbing Fixtures
All existing plumbing fixtures appear to be
winterized, but intact and in good visual
condition. The existing bathrooms are not
MAAB (ADA) compliant.
Fuel Oil System
The building is currently provided with oil fuel
tank, serving the existing heating equipment.
Recommendations
Domestic Water System
Based on a final occupancy count and plumbing
fixture requirements the existing 1” service
shall be evaluated and if required replaced with
a larger size service. At this time based on the
preliminary plumbing fixture count, 1 ¼” water
service shall be required. Based on the fixture
MEP Systems Evaluation Page I 4 March 29, 2017
count the domestic hot water system shall be
sized and provided with electric water heater or
if natural gas service is available, gas fired

The basement commercial kitchen plumbing
operation will be served by a dedicated grease
waste drainage that will be connected to the
sanitary system downstream from a grease
interceptor. After coordination with
Department of Health it will be determined if an
indoor floor recessed unit will be acceptable
means of grease waste collection or an outdoor
unit will be required, in addition to the interior
unit serving the three compartment sink, floor
drains and dishwasher.
Plumbing Fixtures
All existing plumbing fixtures shall be removed,
and replaced with new commercial grade
fixtures MAAB (ADA) compliant. The plumbing
fixture count determined at this time is based
on a total occupancy of 291 people and is as
follow:

detection system provided and interconnected
to the equipment gas supply piping.
MEP Systems Evaluation Page I 5 March 29, 2017
HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING
Summary of Existing Conditions
The building is heated with a gas fired hot water
boiler, hot water pumps and water specialties.
Hot water is distributed throughout the building
with a supply and return piping system. Spaces
are then heated with finned tube radiation. The
boiler, piping, radiators, and finned tube
radiation appears to be more than 20 years old.
The bathroom have been provided with toilet
exhaust fans, but don’t appear to be vented to
the outdoors.
There are no cooling systems or ventilation
systems currently within the spaces.
Recommendations
The existing heating system is past its useful
operating life expectancy and should be
replaced in its entirety.
Heating and cooling the new spaces shall be
provided with a new gas fired furnaces. This
will allow for zone control. New gas furnaces
will be provided in each zone. The amount of
gas furnaces and location of the gas furnace
shall depend on the space heating and cooling
requirements. The gas furnaces will either be
installed within the ceiling or floor mounted.
Air cooled condensing units shall be installed
around the perimeter of the building as
required for the cooling zones required.
Ventilation shall be provide with energy
recovery ventilators as required to meet the
code. Supply ductwork and exhaust ductwork
shall be run throughout the building from the

MEP Systems Evaluation Page I 7 March 29, 2017
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Electrical Service and Distribution
The main service originates from a utility pole
on Middlesex Road and runs overhead to a
weatherhead attached to the building. The
service enters the basement through a 1 ½”
conduit and terminates in a panelboard. The
service size is 100 amp 120/240 volt, 1-phase, 3-
wire service.
The main panelboard is a 100 amp 120/240
volt, 1-phase, 3-wire, 30-circuit panel with no
spares or spaces available. There is (1) 8-circuit
panel located adjacent to the service panel.
The panelboards are well beyond their
expected useful lives. One panel is showing
signs of a possible fire within the panel.
Recommendations
Due to the proposed elevator and condition of
the existing equipment, and the addition of
proposed HVAC, plumbing and kitchen
equipment, this report recommends
updating/replacing the existing single-phase
service with a new 400 amp, 120/208 volt, 3-
phase, 4-wire service from the same pole on
Middlesex Road. The new service would
require 4# 500 KCMIL, 1#3G 3 1/2”C from the
utility pole underground to a new meter
attached to the building. A new 400 amp
feeder would be provided (4#500 KCMIL, 1#3G
3 1/2”C) to a new 400 amp, 120/208 volt, 3-
phase, 4-wire, 42 circuit Main Circuit Breaker
panelboard. The new panel would include all
new breakers to feed existing circuits, new
proposed circuits for HVAC, plumbing and
kitchen equipment and an 80 amp, 208 volt, 3-
pole (estimated) breaker to feed the proposed
elevator.
A new electrical room, to house the new
electrical service panel should be provided. The
room will need to be approximately 5’ x 5’, with
3 feet of clearance in front of the panel for code
required work space.

MEP Systems Evaluation Page I 8 March 29, 2017
Fire Alarm
Summary of Existing Conditions
The building is protected by a 10-zone MIRCOM
FA-1000 Series fire alarm control panel. The
panel transmits signal to the Tyngsborough Fire
Department via telephone lines. The panel is 8-
10 years old. The typical expected life of a fire
alarm control panel and system is 20 years,
therefore the existing panel should be able to
function for another 10 years. The building
contains smoke detectors, manual pull stations.
The age of the devices was reported to be 25
years old. There were 2 different vintages of
pull stations. Newer horn/strobe devices were
installed 2-3 years ago.
Recommendations
The fire alarm control panel is in decent
working condition and could support the new
devices needed for the proposed elevator. The
devices are approaching the end of their life
and should be replaced during this renovation.
New smoke detectors will be required on each
elevator lobby level for elevator recall function.
A smoke and heat detector will be required for
the elevator machine room. New horn/strobe
devices will be required for the proposed
upgrades to the bathrooms. New tamper and
flow switches are being provided for he
proposed fire sprinkler system. New control
modules would be required to tie in the
switches into the fire alarm control panel. It is
recommended to provide upgrades to the
bathrooms. It is recommended to provide a
zone expander, to ensure the proposed devices
can be added to the control panel.
MEP Systems Evaluation Page I 9 March 29, 2017
Lighting
Summary of Existing Conditions
All of the light fixtures are inefficient, past their
expected useful life and should be replaced
with new energy efficient LED type fixtures.
Some fixtures are not supported properly and
are falling down. Some lenses are missing.
There is an existing chandelier on the main
floor, which may be retrofitted with new wiring
and new LED lamps.
Recommendations
The building’s lighting needs a complete
upgrade as soon as possible. New LED lighting
is recommended for the proposed renovated
bathrooms and new elevator lobbies. The
bathrooms should be provided with new ceiling
or wall-mounted occupancy sensors.
Emergency drivers should be included in the
new proposed light fixtures, to provide
emergency lighting in bathrooms and elevator
lobbies. New fixtures should be provided
throughout. The existing chandelier should be
retrofitted, rewired and provided with new LED
lamps.
MEP Systems Evaluation Page I 10 March 29, 2017
Emergency & Exit Lighting
Summary of Existing Conditions
There are approximately (2) exit
sign/emergency lights and (2) self- contained
emergency lights. These items appear to be in
good working condition. However, there is
inadequate lighting coverage and exit signage.
Recommendations
The building’s emergency and exit lighting
should be enhanced with added LED self-
contained exit signs and emergency lights. New
lighting could be provided with integral
emergency drivers, to serve as emergency
egress/lighting.

PEER Consultants Page 1 2/16/2017 fpmh hazmat project 021617
1. Introduction Limited hazardous material sampling and analysis was conducted by PEER Consultants, P.C. (PEER) on the interior of the First Parish Meeting House, located at 214 Middlesex Road, Tyngsborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts as part of its interior renovation project. The objective of this investigation was to inspect constructs, finishes, and other materials that may be affected by the project and that may contain asbestos or lead. 2. Sampling Mr. David Gorden, PEER Consultants (MA Asbestos Inspector License AI 900459 and MA lead Inspector license I-4057) surveyed the suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) and lead paint at this building on January 25, 2017, and conducted a subsequent survey on February 16, 2017. Locations were selected and areas were accessed with the assistance of the architect, CBI Consulting, Inc. to facilitate the sampling of suspect building materials that may be disturbed by the future renovation proposed as part of the First Parish Meeting House renovation project. Multiple samples of suspect materials were collected to meet the requirements of the sampling protocols established in EPA regulation 40 CFR Part 763 Subpart E 763.86, (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and OSHA regulations. PEER collected sixty-six (66) bulk ACBM samples from thirty (30) homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. The suspect ACBM materials included gypsum board, fiberboard, tape, joint compound, ceiling tile, floor tile, caulk, mastic, transite board, laminate, veneer, coating, paint, and plaster. Suspect lead in paint samples included paint on wood, cement, and metal. PEER collected twenty-six (26) paint samples to be screened or analyzed for lead. These suspect hazardous materials are further described in the laboratory summary report within Appendices A and B. Samples were labeled with unique identifiers, and appropriate chain-of-custody documentation was completed for the samples. The suspect ACBM samples were sent to EMSL Analytical, Inc. (EMSL) of Woburn, MA for laboratory analysis. The suspect lead samples were field-screened using LeadCheck™ colorimetric paint test kits. Suspect ACBM and lead paint were assessed by PEER in readily accessible areas associated with the future renovation proposed as part of the First Parish Meeting House project. Suspect ACBM and lead paint may be present, hidden in other non-accessible areas, associated with the future renovation proposed as part of the First Parish Meeting House project. PEER did not collect samples from suspect ACBM and lead paint associated with any other portions of the building or areas on the subject property, not specifically identified in the attached chain of custody (COC). 3. Analysis Bulk asbestos samples were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials" (EPA/600/R-93/116, July 1993).
PEER Consultants Page 2 2/16/2017 fpmh hazmat project 021617
Coating or paint samples for lead were screened by cutting and swabbing painted surfaces with LeadCheck™ colorimetric paint test kits manufactured by 3M, Inc. This procedure provides an accurate but qualitative (yes/no) confirmation of the presence of any lead paint. EMSL is accredited under the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD). 4. Findings 4.1 Asbestos Visual inspection of selected materials indicated the presence of suspect ACBM including gypsum board, fiberboard, joint compound, tape, ceiling tile, floor tile, caulk, mastic, transite board, laminate, veneer, coating, paint, and plaster. Please note that the room descriptions below in the asbestos section follow the Massachusetts CLPPP Lead Inspection/Risk Assessment Report room designation template, which assigns room numbers from the street side of the building in a clockwise pattern. This is illustrated for the basement, in Figure 1, attached. Figures 2 and 3 provide existing condition information for the first and second floor of the building. The full sample log with a description of sample locations and the ACBM analytical data is provided in Appendix A. A summary of the ACBM results is provided in Table 1. An ACBM contains more than 1% asbestos and is regulated by the EPA and OSHA.

5. Discussion and Conclusions 5.1 Asbestos Inspection and sampling of suspect ACBM identified the presence of asbestos containing materials by laboratory analysis. The following homogeneous areas of suspect ACBM contained > 1% asbestos:
PEER Consultants Page 7 2/16/2017 fpmh hazmat project 021617
Interior:
Tan 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks in the basement
Brown 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks in the basement
Black mastic associated with 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks, and brown 9” x 9” floor tiles with specks in the basement
Black/yellow mastic associated with white 12” x 12” floor tiles with specks and brown 12” x 12” floor tiles with specks in the basement
Grey joint compound on the gypsum board walls in the boiler room in the basement
White/tan caulk/sealant on the gypsum board walls in the boiler room in the basement
Black-stained white transite board on the ceiling of the boiler room in the basement
Black coating on the underside of the two sinks in the kitchen of the basement
Green/yellow mastic on the wood laminate board attached to the Styrofoam insulation on the concrete/granite walls of the basement
Green/yellow mastic on the Styrofoam insulation on the concrete/granite walls of the basement
The following additional building materials are assumed to contain >1% asbestos: furnace in the basement, window caulking in the basement. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, asbestos activities are regulated by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under 310 CMR 7.15 and by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS) under 453 CMR 6.00. Massachusetts regulations require that any asbestos-related activity conducted in the Commonwealth be performed by a contractor and workers licensed by DLS. Asbestos abatement must be performed in accordance with a Project Design prepared by a MA-Licensed Asbestos Designer. Third-party air monitoring must be conducted at the completion of abatement activities. 5.2 Lead The EPA regulates use, removal, and disposal of lead-based paint (LBP) and OSHA regulates lead exposure to workers. The EPA defines lead-based paint as paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that contains lead equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2; 5,000 mg/kg, or 0.5% by dry weight as determined by laboratory analysis. The following paint was screened by PEER to contain >0.2% lead in paint.
White paint on the plaster wall, plaster ceiling, and wood sash in the stairwell between the 1st and 2nd floor
White paint on the wooden window, wallboard, and door on the second floor
Brown/black/dark green and tan/dark green paint associated with the sanctuary pews on the 1st floor
Tan/light green paint associated with the plaster wall of the sanctuary and gathering hall on the 1st floor
Gray paint on the wooden stairs between the 1st and 2nd floors
Light green paint on the wooden stairs between the basement and 1st floors
Pink/tan paint on the tin ceiling within the sanctuary on the 1st floor
PEER Consultants Page 8 2/16/2017 fpmh hazmat project 021617
White/light green paint on the wooden door in the gathering hall on the 1st floor
White/tan paint on the wooden window sill in the sanctuary on the 1st floor
White/green wooden clapboards on the exterior of the building In addition, there may be additional areas of paint, which may contain lead, which may not have been screened as part of the results within Table 2.
The OSHA Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62) applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. The lead-in-construction standard applies to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even very low concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon on the method of removal and other workplace conditions. All work related to construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) must include provisions for worker safety and protection as specified in these standards. The EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745) and MA Division of Occupational Safety (DOS) 454 CMR 22) Lead Safe Renovation Regulations must be followed in target housing and schools. This building did not appear to be currently operating as target housing or a school. 6. Abatement Cost Estimate 6.1 Asbestos Abatement Costs Asbestos abatement costs were estimated based on the presence of asbestos (>1%) in the following materials at the First Parish Meeting House. The abatement cost for removal of these materials prior to renovation or demolition is estimated in the following table. Please note that the abatement of the assumed asbestos-containing window sealants in the basement is easiest to conduct during removal of the entire window system and the cost typically adds a factor of approximately 1.5 times the window removal cost. If this basement window system can be made accessible, PEER would be able to collect samples of caulk from the window system for ACM analysis.

(1) Unit cost is based on removal of carpet, multiple layers of tile, and mastic on concrete. (2) Unit cost is based on removal of only gypsum board walls in the boiler room in the basement. (3) Unit cost is based on disposal of Styrofoam and wood laminate board as part of waste stream.
This material occurs in the basement behind the interior walls of Rooms 1, 3 through 5, the bathrooms, and is presumed behind the kitchen wall.
6.2 Lead Disposal Costs As per Section 5.2, lead paint containing materials were identified on building materials within the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as in the wooden clapboards on the exterior of the building. A Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) analysis was not requested by the Client as part of this project. Since many of the painted items may not be disposed of or abated as part of the asbestos abatement, PEER suggests that the architect for the project carry a financial contingency for hazardous waste disposal from the First Parish Meeting House project. 6.3 Universal Waste According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Chapter 1, Subchapter 1, Part 273, Universal Waste means any of the following hazardous wastes that are subject to the universal waste requirements of this part 273: • Batteries as described in §273.2; • Pesticides as described in §273.3; • Mercury-containing equipment as described in §273.4; and • Lamps as described in §273.5. The following universal wastes or other items which could be recycled may be present, associated with the project building: fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent light bulbs, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) ballast, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, mercury thermostats and switches, batteries, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), electronic waste, refrigeration and cooling system Freon and other chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), air conditioners, smoke detectors, exit displays.

1. Introduction CBI Consulting has retained Code Red Consultants to provide fire protection, life safety and accessibility code consulting services for the First Parish Meeting House renovation project located in Tyngsborough, MA.
This document has been prepared to describe the overall code compliance approach to active and passive fire protection and life safety systems in the building in the context of the renovation project proposed. Additionally, this report has been prepared to meet the requirements of Section 101.5.4.0 of the Massachusetts Existing Building Code, which requires the written submission of an investigation and evaluation in accordance with its requirements as a condition of permit.
The information contained within this report is based on a site survey completed on January 25, 2017 by Paul Moan, P.E. of Code Red Consultants.
1.1 Existing Building Description
The existing First Parish Meeting House is a one-story building with a below-grade Basement and mezzanine. The building houses main gathering functions in the primary First Floor sanctuary area and smaller gathering and educational functions in the Basement. The mezzanine area houses non-public office and storage spaces. The building also contains an unoccupied attic above the Mezzanine that provides access to the bell tower.

1.2 Project Description
Based on the project concept plans and conversations with CBI, it is our understanding that the project to the First Parish Meeting House will consist of the following:
Full renovation of the Basement to reconfigure the meeting areas, relocate the existing kitchen, and provide new accessible toilet rooms.
Provide a LULA within the existing footprint to provide vertical access between the Basement and First Floor.1
Construct new exterior ramps for accessible access to the building entrances and exits. Remove a single wall on the Mezzanine to open up the space. The only reconfigurations of walls and doors on the First Floor are those associated
with the new LULA and new exterior doors. The primary sanctuary area is expected to remain in its current configuration.
No addition or change of occupancy is planned as part of the project.
1 The LULA is required to serve the mezzanine if the mezzanine contains public areas.

3. Existing Building Code Scoping Requirements Portions of an existing building undergoing repair, alteration, addition, or a change in use are subject to the requirements of the MEBC. In general, existing materials and conditions can remain provided they were installed in accordance with the code at the time of original installation and are not deemed a hazardous condition by an authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Work to existing buildings is required to be performed in accordance with 780 CMR for new construction unless otherwise specified by the MEBC. Alterations to existing buildings are not permitted to reduce the level of safety currently provided within the building unless the portion altered complies with the requirements of 780 CMR for new construction.
Except for structural work, where compliance with the code is impractical due to construction difficulties or regulatory conflicts, building officials are permitted to approve compliance alternatives. Any compliance alternatives being sought are required to be identified on the submittal documents (MEBC 101.5.0.1).
4. Compliance Method & Classification of Work The MEBC has three different compliance methods that can be used to evaluate a renovation project:
Prescriptive Method (MEBC Chapter 3) Work Area Method (MEBC Chapters 4-10) Performance Method (MEBC Chapter 13)
Based on the proposed scope of work, the Work Area Method has been selected to evaluate this project in accordance with MEBC Section 101.5.
The proposed scope of work includes alterations of more than 50% of the aggregate floor area. As such, the proposed work is classified as a Level 3 Alteration. The project is required to comply with MEBC Chapters 6, 7, and 8.
There will not be a change of occupancy or addition as part of the project.

Page 9
6.2.2 Building Height and Area
As the project scope does not include an addition or a change of occupancy, a height and area analysis is not required to be completed (MEBC 912.5 & 1002).
6.2.3 Exterior Walls
No work to the exterior walls of the building are planned and existing portions of the façade are permitted to remain (MEBC 601.2).
6.3 Vertical Openings
The existing building contains two non-rated exit stairs, one which connects the Basement and First Floor (Stair 1), and the other which connects the First Floor and the Mezzanine (Stair 2). There is also a non-rated stair that serves as a means of egress from the Basement Level and discharges occupants directly to the exterior at grade (Rear Stair). The interior face of the rear stair enclosure coincides with the exterior wall of the Sanctuary on the First Floor.
As part of the project, the following work will occur to the vertical openings:
Stair 1 will be removed. The resulting space will be infilled with floor construction consistent with the construction type of the building.
A new LULA will be installed connecting the Basement and First Floor. The new LULA is required to be enclosed in a 1-hour fire-resistance rated shaft (780 CMR 708.2). This rated enclosure is required to be supported with 1-hour rated construction, which the existing floors are not capable of without upgrades (780 CMR 707.5.1).
Stair 2 will be extended down to also serve the Basement (resulting stair will connect two stories and a mezzanine). The existing Rear Stair will remain and continue to serve the Basement.
The compliance options for the Rear Stair and Stair 2 are as follows:
o Option 1: Rate Rear Stair
Enclose the Rear Stair in 30-minute construction (MEBC 703.2.1(4) & 803.1).
Remove the enclosure around Stair 2 on the First Floor, and design Stair 2 as an unenclosed exit access stair in accordance with 780 CMR Sections 708.2(11) & 1016.1(3)). For the use of this exception, the stair is required to be open on the Basement and First Floor. If an enclosure is provided, then it is required to be 1-hour rated per the second option below.
o Option 2: Rate Stair 2
The Rear Stair is permitted to remain in its existing non-rated condition (780 CMR 708.2(11) & 1016.1(3)).
Enclose Stair 2 in 1-hour FRR construction. The rating is minimally required to enclose the Basement and First Floors and can either (1) extend the rating up
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 10
through the mezzanine, or (2) be separated from the stair traveling up to the mezzanine by 1-hour construction.
o Option 3: Sprinkler Entire Building
If the building is sprinklered throughout, the rear stair is permitted to remain as is and Stair 2 is permitted to be either open or 1-hour rated between the Basement and First Floor (MEBC 703.2.1 Exception 1 & 780 CMR 1016.1 Exception 4).
o Option 4: 9th Edition Submission/Variance
Under the 9th Edition, option 3 above is permitted in a non-sprinklered building (2015 IEBC 803.2.1 Exception 1 & 2015 IBC 1019.3-1). This allowance could be used if the project is filed under the 9th Edition (either by waiting until it is adopted or by submitting for a variance).
A shaft enclosure that does not extend to the underside of the roof sheathing, deck or slab is required to be enclosed at the top with construction of the same fire-resistance rating as the topmost floor penetrated by the shaft, but not less than the fire-resistance rating required for the shaft enclosure (780 CMR 708.4).
6.4 Interior Walls and Partitions
6.4.1 Fire/Smoke Resistive Assemblies
The existing building does not have fire-resistance rated corridor walls, occupancy separations, or tenant separations. Table 2 identifies the interior walls and partitions that are required to be constructed as fire rated assemblies. These requirements will apply to the new and altered portions of the building only.

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 14
The Basement is required to be sprinkler protected as it satisfies the following conditions (MEBC 704.2.2; 780 CMR 903.2):
The Basement work area contains exits serving an occupant load greater than 30; The Basement work area exceeds 50% of the floor area; The building has sufficient municipal water supply for design of a fire sprinkler
system available to the Basement without installation of a new fire pump; and The calculated occupant load of the building exceeds 300 people.
Sprinkler protection is not required in the balance of the building as the aggregate area of the building, including the mezzanine, is approximately 5,900 sf (MGL ch. 148 s. 26G).
6.6.2 Kitchen Hood Suppression System
Each commercial kitchen exhaust hood and duct system required by Section 609 of the International Fire Code or Chapter 5 of the International Mechanical Code to have a Type I hood, is required to be protected with an approved automatic fire-extinguishing system (780 CMR 904.2.1).
6.6.3 Standpipe Systems
The building does not have a standpipe system, nor is one required to be provided as the highest floor level is not more than 50 feet above the lowest level of fire department access (780 CMR 905.3.1).
6.6.4 Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers are required in all occupancies within the building and are required to be selected and installed in accordance with this 780 CMR 906 and NFPA 10 (780 CMR 906.1).

6.7 Emergency Systems
6.7.1 Fire Alarm and Detection Systems
The building is currently provided with a fire alarm system consisting horn/strobe notification devices with clear lenses, automatic smoke and heat detection, and manual pull stations. The existing system is permitted to remain provided it is in good working order. The condition of the existing system, and the extent to which it can be reused is required to be evaluated by the project fire protection engineer.
The fire alarm system is required to be modified as necessary within the renovated areas. New and modified portions of the fire alarm system are required to be in accordance with 780 CMR and NFPA 72, 2010 Edition. The existing level of protection is not permitted to be reduced as a result of the renovation project (MEBC 601.2).
6.8 Means of Egress
780 CMR Section 102.6.4 contains provisions related to means of egress, lighting, and ventilation within existing buildings. These provisions are intended to provide a minimum level of health and safety for occupants within the building at all times. If these provisions are not met, the building official may cite the condition in writing as a violation and order abatement within a time frame deemed necessary. These items include:
Inadequate number of means of egress. Egress components with insufficient width or so arranged to be inadequate, including
signage and lighting. Inadequate lighting and ventilation.
Where full compliance for egress, lighting, and ventilation are not practical, the building official may accept compliance alternatives, engineering, and other evaluations that adequately address the deficiency.
6.8.1 Existing Means of Egress
The existing means of egress consists of the following:
Basement: Served by two exit stairs. The one in the rear of the building leads directly to the exterior, while the one in the front of the building exits to the exterior by means of the main lobby.
First Floor: Served by two exit doors to the front of the building. Mezzanine: Served by a single exit stair.
6.8.2 Number of Means of Egress
The number of exits required from every story or portion thereof is not permitted to be less than that specified in Table 5 (780 CMR 1021.1).
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086

Minimum Number of Exits Required Occupant Load Number of Exits Required
1 – 500 2 501 – 1,000 3
> 1,000 4 TABLE 5: MINIMUM NUMBER OF EXITS REQUIRED
The mezzanine is permitted to be served by one means of egress since the common path of travel distance is less than 75 feet and the calculated occupant load is less than 29 people (780 CMR 505.3 Exception & 1015.1).
The number of exits serving the building are shown in the means of egress analysis in Appendix A.
6.8.3 Capacity of Means of Egress
A means of egress analysis using the occupant load factors of 780 CMR Section 1004.1 and the exit capacity factors of 780 CMR Section 1005.1 has been completed for the existing building and is located in Appendix A of this report. Adequate egress capacity is provided from each floor.
6.8.4 Exit Signage
The existing building contains multiple exit signs which are internally illuminated on battery backup. Generally, exit signage coverage was provided for the stairs and exit doors to the exterior, but was deficient within the main function rooms.
Where two or more exits are required from a space, exit and exit access doors are required to be marked by an approved exit sign readily visible from any direction of egress travel (780 CMR 1011.1).
As part of the project, it should be confirmed that all new and existing areas are provided with adequate exit signage coverage in accordance with 780 CMR Section 1011. Exit signage will have to be coordinated with any new exit locations from the sanctuary, and with the main exit from the front of the First Floor. All exit signs are required to be internally or externally illuminated (780 CMR 1011.2).
6.8.5 Egress Illumination
The existing building contains multiple emergency lighting devices on battery backup power, but there are several areas in the building that visually appeared to be lacking coverage. Lighting levels under normal and emergency conditions were not measured during the survey.
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 17
As part of the project, it should be confirmed that adequate coverage of lighting and emergency lighting is provided throughout the building in accordance with 780 CMR Section 1006, and that all devices are properly functioning.
6.8.6 Existing Hazardous Means of Egress
780 CMR Section 102.6.4 states that existing means of egress elements can retroactively be required to be upgraded regardless of the planned scope of work if deemed hazardous by the building official. Additionally, 527 CMR requires existing means of egress components to be maintained in a safe and operable condition. The following table summarizes means of egress conditions that were observed to be out of compliance with the requirements of 780 CMR and 527 CMR which could potentially be deemed hazardous and require upgrades by the AHJ to be brought in compliance with 780 CMR Chapter 10.
Panic Hardware
No panic hardware is provided on the exit doors from the First Floor and Basement. The code for new construction requires doors serving assembly spaces with more than 50 people (the Sanctuary and the Basement gathering areas) to be equipped with panic hardware (780 CMR 1008.1.10).
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 18
Emergency Lighting
As discussed in Section 6.8.5 of this report above, emergency lighting is required to be provided within the building in accordance with 780 CMR Chapter 1006.3 regardless of the scope of work (780 CMR 102.6.4). Portions of the building are lacking coverage from existing devices and in most instances existing devices are non-functioning. It is recommended as part of the project that a full review of emergency lighting coverage and functionality be performed for the entire building. Note that all egress lighting is required to be provided with battery backup power (780 CMR 1006.3).
Exit Signage
As discussed in Section 6.8.4 of this report above, it was observed that multiple exit signs were non-illuminated and do not comply with the exit sign requirements per 780 CMR Section 1011.5 for size and contrast. 780 CMR Section 1011.2 requires exit signs to be internally or externally illuminated. Existing, non-compliant exit signs should be replaced with compliant internally or externally illuminated.
Furthermore, existing exit signage coverage was lacking from the main assembly spaces. Exit signs are required to be placed in all rooms where the exit or the path of egress travel is not
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 19
immediately visible to the occupants (780 CMR 1011.1).
Storage in Stair
A storage closet was observed in Stair 2. Exit stairs are not permitted to be used for any purpose other than means of egress (780 CMR 1022.1). If Stair 2 is enclosed with 1-hour rated construction, then the storage room should be relocated.
Ceiling Tiles
There are several missing or damaged ceiling tiles in the Basement, which can affect smoke detector activation.
All missing or damaged ceiling tiles should be replaced regardless of work performed in order to maintain the detection system in safe and operable condition.
Door Locks
There were several bolt- or latch-type locks observed throughout the building. Manual locks are not permitted on egress doors serving the occupancies within the building (780 CMR 1008.1.9.4).
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 20
Rear Stair Treads & Risers
The treads and risers in the Rear Stair are non-uniform. Tread depths and risers height are required to be uniform (780 CMR 1009.4.4).
Stair 2 Winders
Stair 2 is provided with winder treads, which is not permitted by new construction (780 CMR 1009.4.3). It is our understanding that these treads are being replaced with compliant treads as part of this project.
Stair 1 Guard
Stair 1 is not provided with a guard that prohibits the passage of a 4” sphere (780 CMR 1013.3). This stair is being demolished as part of this project.
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 21
First Floor Exits
The First Floor is provided with two means of egress that are not sufficiently remote from each other.
A new exit is required to be provided from the Sanctuary that is separated from one of the existing exits by a distance not less than one-half of the maximum diagonal of the floor (780 CMR 1015.2.1).
Note that the exit door is required to swing in the direction of egress, is required to be provided with panic hardware and a manual pull station, and is required to be signed as an exit.
Door Swings
All means of egress doors serving the Basement or Sanctuary are required to swing in the direction of egress (780 CMR 1008.1.2). There were several means of egress doors at the back of the sanctuary (towards main entrance) that did not swing in the direction of egress.
6.8.7 Doors
New doors are required to be a minimum of 32 inches in clear width and are not permitted to have a swinging door leaf greater than 48 inches in nominal width (780 CMR 1008.1.1)
New egress doors are required to be of the pivoted or side-swinging type and doors are required to swing in the direction of egress travel where serving an occupant load of 50 or more persons (780 CMR 1008.1.2). It should be confirmed that all means of egress doors serving the Basement and the Sanctuary Area swing in the direction of egress.
Space between two doors in series is required to be 48 inches minimum plus the width of a door swinging into the space. Doors in series are required to swing either in the
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 22
same direction or away from the space between the doors. The minimum distance between horizontal sliding doors is required be 48 inches (780 CMR 1008.1.8).
New doors serving rooms or spaces with an occupant load of 50 or more in a Group A occupancy are not permitted to be provided with a lock or latch unless it is panic or fire exit hardware (780 CMR 1008.1.10.1). It is required to be confirmed that all doors (new and existing) from the Group A-3 spaces, including those along egress paths of travel and into stairs, are provided with panic hardware.
6.8.8 Stair Enclosures
Exit enclosures are not permitted to be used for any purpose other than means of egress (780 CMR 1022.1). Penetrations into and openings through an exit enclosure are prohibited except for required exit doors and equipment serving the stair (780 CMR 1022.4). Stairs are required to have sufficient width to accommodate the calculated occupant load, but are not permitted to be less than 44 inches (780 CMR 1009.1)
The code for new construction requires exit enclosures to discharge directly to the exterior of the building (780 CMR 1027.1). If stair 2 is enclosed with rated construction, it is required to discharge directly to the exterior.
6.8.9 Ramps
New ramps are planned as part of this project. Ramps shall have a running slope not steeper than one unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (8-percent slope). If the ramp is not part of an accessible route or used as a means of egress, the slope is permitted to be up to one unit vertical in eight units horizontal (12.5-percent slope) (780 CMR 1010.2). The slope measured perpendicular to the direction of travel of a ramp shall not be steeper than one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope) (780 CMR 1010.3). The rise for any ramp run shall be 30 inches maximum (780 CMR 1010.4).
Ramps shall have landings at the bottom and top of each ramp, points of turning, entrance, exits and at doors (780 CMR 1010.7). Landings shall have a slope not steeper than one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope) in any direction. Changes in level are not permitted (780 CMR 1010.7.1). The landing shall be at least as wide as the widest ramp run adjoining the landing and a minimum length of 60 inches (780 CMR 1010.7.2 & 1010.7.3). Where changes in direction of travel occur at landings provided between ramp runs, the landing shall be 60 inches by 60 inches minimum (780 CMR 1010.7.4). Ramps with a rise greater than 6 inches shall have handrails on both sides that comply with 780 CMR 1012 (780 CMR 1010.9).
6.9 Structural
The review of existing conditions and application of the structural requirements listed below will be performed by the structural engineer on the project. The following
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 23
requirements assume that the work area of the project does not exceed 50% of the aggregate building area.
The evaluation of structural elements and their connections is required consider the cumulative effects of alterations, additions, or changes of occupancy since the original construction, except where permitted by MEBC Section 101.9.
New Structure
New structural elements, including connections and anchorage, are required to meet the requirements of 780 CMR for new construction (MEBC 707.2).
Gravity Load-Carrying Structure
The load carrying capacity of structural members is not permitted to be reduced as a result of the project unless it can be demonstrated that the members meet the requirements of 780 CMR for new construction. If a structural element’s stress is increased by more than 5% since the time of original installation, it is required to comply with the provisions of 780 CMR for new construction (MEBC 707.4).
Lateral & Seismic Load-Carrying Structure
Voluntary seismic upgrades that are not otherwise required and are initiated for the purpose of improving the performance of the seismic force-resisting system are permitted, provided that they are supported by an engineering analysis (MEBC 707.6).
Any existing lateral load carrying element whose demand-capacity ratio is increased by more than 10% with the alteration considered (compared to when the alteration is ignored) is required to comply with the requirements of MEBC Section 807.4, which requires a structural investigation and analysis. Additionally, where the alteration results in a structural irregularity as defined in ASCE 7, the lateral load resisting structural elements are required to comply with MEBC Section 807.4 (MEBC 707.5).
6.10 Accessibility
6.10.1 521 CMR Application
The requirements of 521 CMR are limited to buildings or portions thereof that are open to the public. Employee-only spaces are exempt from these requirements; however, employee-only spaces that are occasionally visited by visitors are not.
Where the cost of the project exceeds 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, then all public portions of the building are subject to the requirements of 521 CMR (521 CMR 3.3).
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 24
6.10.1.1 Building Value
The full and fair cash value is shown as $271,200 on the Town of Tyngsborough Assessor’s Website5. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue has assigned Boston an assessment ratio of 0.956. Thus 30% of the full and fair cash value is $271,200 / 0.95 x 30% = $85,642. It is our understanding that the total cost of this project and all projects in the past 36 months will exceed this 30% threshold.
6.10.1.2 Existing Building Application
As the cost of the project will exceed 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, all public portions of the building are subject to the requirements of 521 CMR. The following are some of the major upgrades that would be required for this building:
All entrances are required to be accessible (521 CMR 25.1). All restrooms are required to be accessible (521 CMR 30.1). All doors are required to have compliant maneuvering clearances and
hardware (521 CMR 26.6). Doors are required to have a minimum clear width of 32” (521 CMR 26.5). Door thresholds? Door landings? All stair treads are required to have uniform depths and rise (521 CMR 27.2). Handrails are required on both sides of stairs with compliant extensions (521
CMR 27.4.1). The kitchen is required to be accessible if used by non-employees (521 CMR
32.1). Accessible seating in Sanctuary? Assisted listening devices in the Sanctuary (521 CMR 14.5.1).
6.10.1.3 Variances
MAAB also has variance process where relief may be granted based on illustrating that complying with the code is either not technically feasible given existing conditions or that the level of accessible benefit is disproportionate when compared with the cost to perform the work.
6.10.2 ADA Application
Although not enforced by any authority having jurisdiction on the project, the requirements of ADA are also applicable and enforced through civil litigation only. Code Red Consultants did not perform a comprehensive accessibility review of the

March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 25
facility for ADA compliance. The scope of our analysis was limited to entrances, main accessible routes, and bathrooms which were available for inspection.
As the cost of the project exceeds 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, and a full accessibility evaluation in accordance with 521 CMR is required, it is expected that numerous accessible upgrades are planned to be made to the building as part of the project. These upgrades should be coordinated with the requirements of ADA where new work occurs.
The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) requires that altered portions of an existing building must be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities to the maximum extent feasible (ADAAG 36.402(a)(1)). Further, alterations to primary function areas should be made such that the level of accessibility, including the path of travel to the space, is made accessible to the maximum extent feasible. When determining if the upgrade is feasible, the ADAAG requirements state that the upgrade to the path of travel is disproportionate to the project when the cost to perform the work exceeds 20% of the cost of the alteration to the primary function area. In choosing which accessible elements to provide if the cost is disproportionate, priority should be given to those elements that will provide the greatest access, in the following order:
1. An accessible entrance
2. An accessible route to the altered area
3. At least one accessible restroom for each sex or a single unisex restroom
4. Accessible drinking fountains
5. Accessible telephones
When possible, additional accessible elements such as parking, storage, and alarms should be addressed if within the disproportionality criteria.
6.11 Energy Use
The proposed work is required to comply with the commercial provisions of the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Massachusetts Amendments.
Additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs to an existing building, building system, or portion thereof are required to conform to the provisions of the 2015 IECC as they relate to new construction without requiring the unaltered portions of the existing building or building system to comply with the 2015 IECC (IECC 101.4.3).
6.12 Plumbing Fixtures
The existing building is served by a total of two toilets, two urinals, and three sinks. There are two single-user toilet rooms and a third room with the two urinals and an additional sink. All existing fixtures are located on the Basement Level.
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 26
As part of the project, it is planned to remove all existing toilet rooms and replace them with a new male and a new female toilet room on the Basement Level. These new group toilet rooms will be located in approximately the same location as the existing fixtures.
6.12.1 Quantities
248 CMR does not contain any provisions which outline when an updated plumbing fixture analysis is required in an existing building. Where existing fixtures are renovated or new fixtures are provided, the plumbing official could technically require the project to provide new toilet rooms throughout the building in accordance with new code requirements, sized using factors below.
Toilets
Urinals Lavatories
Female Male Female Male
A-3: Halls, Museums, Libraries, etc.
1 per 50 1 per 100 50%
substitution (permitted)
1 per 200 1 per 200
Based on our conversations with CBI, the maximum expected program occupant load of the building consists of the following:
Scenario 1 o Basement: 50 people o First Floor: 6 people at alter, 200 people in pews o Second Floor: 35 people {program load from CBI} o Total: 291 assembly occupants (146 females, 146 males)
Scenario 2 o Basement: 50 people o First Floor: 6 people at alter, 200 people in pews o Second Floor: 0 people {program load from CBI based on unoccupied storage
functions} o Total: 256 assembly occupants {128 females, 128 males}
Using the above occupant load schemes and plumbing fixture factors, the required number of fixtures for the building is as follows:
3 female toilets 2 male toilets (1 of which is permitted to be substituted for a urinal) 1 sink for each sex
6.12.2 Plumbing Fixture Locations
Occupants in Assembly occupancies are not permitted to travel up or down a floor to reach the required fixtures. It is our understanding that the project proposes to only provide plumbing fixtures in the Basement (as currently configured). The proposed
March 2, 2017 Project #: 165086
Page 27
approach of only providing toilet rooms on the Basement should be confirmed with the local plumbing official, with the following justification:
1. The quantity of new fixtures meet or exceed existing quantity.
2. There is no increase in the program occupant load of the building as a result of the project.
3. All new toilet room fixtures will be accessible, while none of the existing fixtures are.
4. Access to fixtures has been improved with the installation of the LULA.
5. The new fixtures will be provided in approximately the same location as the existing fixtures, thereby not appreciably increasing the travel distance.
6. There is minimal renovation work on the other floors of the building that would make installation of new fixtures technically infeasible.
7. The quantity of new fixtures can accommodate the maximum program occupant load expected at any time in the building (as evaluated above).
If you have any questions or comments on the above information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

ITEMS NOT CONSIDERED IN THIS ESTIMATE
Items not included in this estimate are:
All professional fees and insurance
Land acquisition, feasibility, and financing costs
All Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment
Items identified in the design as Not In Contract (NIC)
Items identified in the design as by others
Owner supplied and/or installed items (e.g. draperies, furniture and equipment)
Utility company back charges, including work required off-site
Work to City streets and sidewalks, (except as noted in this estimate)
Construction or occupancy phasing or off hours’ work, (except as noted in this estimate)
The estimate is based on prevailing wage rates for construction in this market and represents a reasonable opinion of cost. It is not a
prediction of the successful bid from a contractor as bids will vary due to fluctuating market conditions, errors and omissions,
proprietary specifications, lack or surplus of bidders, perception of risk, etc. Consequently the estimate is expected to fall within the
range of bids from a number of competitive contractors or subcontractors, however we do not warrant that bids or negotiated prices
will not vary from the final construction cost estimate.
This Schematic Design cost estimate was produced from drawings, outline specifications and other documentation prepared by
CBI Consulting Inc. and their design team dated April 3rd 2017. Design and engineering changes occurring subsequent to the
issue of these documents have not been incorporated in this estimate.
This estimate includes all direct construction costs, general contractor’s overhead and profit and design contingency. Cost escalation
assumes start dates indicated.
Bidding conditions are expected to be public bidding under Chapter 149 of the Massachusetts General Laws to pre-qualified general
contractors, and pre-qualified sub-contractors, open specifications for materials and manufacturers.
