AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY • ITEM # 1
Subject: Receive updated Civic Hub Project information and provide feedback for Kimley-Horn &
Associates, Inc. (KHA) to understand community needs to be addressed in re -development of the
Civic Hub footprint, providing KHA with the necessary information to begin conceptual materials
for upcoming community outreach sessions.
Department: Parks, Recreation and Community Affairs
Summary: The Civic Hub Project represents an opportunity to not only improve stormwater
management of the Center Street Basin and reduce associated flooding, but also to redevelop the
surface level features/amenities, improving the efficacy of the space, based on both current and
future -looking needs of the community. (Attachment 1)
The overarching goals for City Council at this Workshop Meeting:
1. Become familiar with the area to be considered within the scope of this Project.
2. Provide direction to Staff and KHA to develop a formal proposal identifying the scope of
services for the community outreach and design process.
Historical Synopsis for Recreation Complex Property
- Most of the current features seen today were constructed/installed between 1975 and 1977.
- Expansion of the racquetball (fka handball) building, from two (2) courts to four (4) courts,
occurred in 1980 and included the extension of the mezzanine -viewing platform.
- No major improvements or additions came in the decades to follow, beyond the installation
of a mural on the north -facing wall of the racquetball court, regular exterior painting,
lighting upgrades, shuffleboard/tennis court resurfacing and other general maintenance
projects.
Current Status and Usage
- Racquetball Courts: —$60K in repairs recommended to address structural/safety-related
issues. (Attachment 2)
- Tennis Courts: Resurfacing project CIP budgeted for FY 23/24.
- Recreation Office: A formal Engineering Inspection/Report needed, will be budgeted for FY
23/24.
- Facility Use Data/Revenues (Attachment 3)
Project Features for Consideration
1. Based on feedback from the recent Community Re -Visioning Project, responses to the
2018 Community Survey and previous public engagement activities, to include the
Founders' Day Whiteboard Exercise (Attachment 4), considerations for this Project should
include, but not be limited to:

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On January 11, 2022, Existing Structures Engineering, Inc. deployed to the above referenced
facility to conduct a structural condition survey of the racquet ball court building. There are no
reported problems, the owner is being proactive to prevent major issues. The scope of this study
is limited to the structural aspect of the building and does not cover MEP.
This report was performed in general accordance with the ASCE Guideline for Condition
Assessment of Existing Buildings, ASCE 11-99.
The assessment included a visual and hands-on assessment of —180 precast double tees and
supporting structure. Excluded from the scope are any non-structural items, including anything
cosmetic or any aesthetic issues, interior build -out items, mechanical, electrical or plumbing, etc.
In summary, the following are our findings and recommendations:
• The court building is structurally adequate and is presently suitable for service.
• Spalling concrete needs to be repaired.
• The guardrails need to be replaced.
• The fencing over the courts and related embedded posts need to be replaced.

3. TECHNICAL APPROACH
3.1. Visual Inspection
The accessible structural components were visually evaluated. This condition evaluation was
limited to the structural elements that could be observed and did not include material testing.
3.2. Structural Evaluation
The majority of the structural inspection work was conducted by visual and hands-on inspection
by trained professionals. The inspection was intended to be non-destructive. By its nature, a
visual and hands-on non-destructive inspection is limited to that which can be seen, heard or
felt. Although it can be limited, it is quite effective for preliminary inspection and for allocating
further analysis and repair resources.
The hands-on aspect included physical examination of the items within the scope of inspection.
Excluded from the scope are any non-structural items, including anything cosmetic or any
aesthetic issues, electrical, interior build -out items, non -load bearing interior framing,
mechanical, etc.
3.3. Defect Identification/Terminology
3.3.1. Concrete
3.3.1.1. Cracking or Gaps: A separation into two or more parts with a space
between two surfaces, classified by:
Hairline - Crack or gap width less than 1/32 inch.
Fine - Crack or gap width between 1/32 inch and 1/16 inch.
Medium - Crack or gap width between 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch.
Wide - Crack or gap width greater than 1/8 inch.
3.3.2. Steel Elements
3.3.2.1.
Corrosion: Corrosion is classified by the following:
Minor - light surface rust.
Moderate - rust that is loose and flaking with some pitting. This
scaling, or exfoliation, can be removed with some effort by use of a
scraper or chipping hammer. Element exhibits measurable but not
significant loss of section.
Severe -Heavy - stratified rust or rust scales with extensive pitting.
removal requires exerted effort and may require mechanical means.
Element exhibits significant loss of section.
3.4. Glossary of Terms and Definitions
3.4.1. Definition of Investigation Types

3.4.1.1. Visual Investigation: The investigation from a reasonable distance of a
member or element where the initial determination can be made that the
condition is good enough that it does not warrant a hands-on investigation.
3.4.1.2.
Hands-on Investigation: Close-up inspection, from no further away than
arms length, where the member can be: sounded with a heavy rubber mallet,
and/or probed with a steel awl.
3.4.1.3. Invasive Investigation: Investigations where walls or elements are opened
to allow for hands-on inspections to be made.
3.4.2. Rating Criteria
3.4.2.1. Excellent: As New Condition
3.4.2.2. Good: The structure system is sound and performing its function, although
it shows signs of wear and may require some minor repairs, mostly routine.
3.4.2.3. Fair: The structure system is still performing adequately at this time, but
needs priority and/or routine repair to prevent future deterioration and to
restore it to good condition. Fair condition usually requires repairs which
are considered asset preservation items.
3.4.2.4.
Poor: The structure system cannot be relied upon to continue to perform its
original function without immediate and/or priority repair. Poor condition
could mean that there is life safety issue.
3.4.3. Definition of Recommendations
3.4.3.1.
Immediate: Requires immediate action to repair the affected member or
element or a replacement of the member as determined by the investigation
engineer.
3.4.3.2. Priority: Conditions for which no immediate action may be required or for
which immediate action has been completed, but further investigations,
design and implementation of interim or long-term repairs should be
undertaken on a priority basis, i.e., taking precedence over all other
scheduled work.
3.4.3.3. Routine: Conditions requiring further investigation or remedial work,
which can be undertaken as part of a scheduled maintenance program, other
scheduled project, or routine facility maintenance, depending on the action
required.

4. INSPECTION FINDINGS
4.1. Walls and overhead walkway
The structure is an open, —47' x —84' x —20'H concrete structure with 4 open courts. The main
load resisting structure consists of CMU and concrete wall with some precast concrete panels
for the partial roof. The elevated walkway/overhang is made of "epicore" and concrete
structure. The structure is in fair condition.
Visual and hands-on assessment identified damage at all the fence imbeds and guardrail imbeds.
These need to be repaired during replacement. The majority of the walls were in good shape.
The elevated walkway and partial roof panels are in good condition.
The urethane cant bead along walkway to wall is in failure and needs to be removed and
replaced.

4.2. Stairs
The stairs are made of reinforced concrete and exhibit general corrosion spalling and damage
at the guardrail imbeds.
The singe staircase is in adequate condition, but the corrosion damage needs to be repaired and
the guardrails need to be replaced with code compliant guardrails.
