This document provides a detailed assessment of a one-story, 520 SF structure (originally a two-car garage, constructed in 1980) located on Gracie Road in Cortlandville, NY. The building has been converted and is leased to a local nature group for children's classes. The assessment covers Civil/Site, Architectural, Structural, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire/Life Safety, Electrical, and Environmental aspects of the building. It notes several areas requiring repair and upgrades, including the roof, windows, door frames, porch posts, attic vent frame, interior finishes, and HVAC system (specifically a fire hazard with a heater placement and a lack of ventilation). It also highlights potential lead-based paint and asbestos concerns. The document suggests that the building is not critical to the research center's mission and could be demolished without adverse impact, questioning the investment in its upkeep.

This document is relevant to potential bidders by detailing the current condition and potential repair needs of a facility. While it suggests the building may not be mission-critical, it outlines specific deficiencies and potential upgrades. Bidders interested in facility maintenance, repair, renovation, or demolition services would find the detailed architectural, structural, HVAC, and electrical assessments useful for understanding the scope of potential work, associated risks, and the current state of the asset.

This document provides a detailed narrative assessment of a single-car masonry garage located on Gracie Road in Cortlandville, NY. Constructed in 1953, the 336 SF structure is described as cracked and deteriorating, with repair costs estimated to exceed its value. The assessment covers various aspects including civil/site conditions, architectural details, structural integrity, and existing utilities.

Key findings include:

• Condition: Poor condition of walls (CMU), roof shingles, eaves, fascia, window, door, and concrete floor slab. Significant cracking and deterioration are noted in the foundation.
• Recommendations: Demolition of the structure is recommended due to safety concerns and the high cost of repairs relative to the building's value. Repaving of the existing asphalt driveway is also suggested.
• Utilities: Limited electrical system (one light fixture), no HVAC, plumbing, or fire sprinkler system. The electrical wiring installation is noted as not being properly secured.
• Environmental Concerns: Potential for lead-based paint due to pre-1978 construction and possible asbestos in building materials. Testing is recommended before disturbing paint.
• Accessibility/Historic: The building is not required to meet accessibility standards. It retains original finishes and has not been added onto.

This document provides a condition assessment of an existing structure. Bidders interested in potential demolition, repair, or replacement of this garage, or related site work (like driveway repaving), can use this information to understand the current state of the asset, potential hazards (lead, asbestos), and the recommended course of action (demolition).
