William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Building Systems Introduction The following are descriptions of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, fire protection and electrical systems at major buildings within the Jefferson City Correction Center, are based on a brief building and site walk-throughs and discussions with facility operating personnel. Central Plant Existing Conditions The central plant consists of four 1000 BHP and one 300 BHP high-pressure steam boilers. They are headered together to provide a redundant heating system for the prison. Under current operating conditions, the summer boiler (300 BHP) is to small too satisfy the summer load. In the winter, two large boilers can satisfy the load. The plant has been well maintained and appears to be in excellent condition. Central hot water is also generated and distributed to each building from the central plant through a steam to hot water heat exchanger. Proposed Actions The plant if maintained at its current level could service the facility for the next 20 to 30 years. The boilers are currently an asset to the State and should be considered in any transfer of the property. In our opinion, the future of the boiler plant hinges on ownership of the property and individual buildings. If the property, or a significant portion of the property, is held by a single entity, then a central boiler plant could provide operating benefits to the facility of reduced maintenance, optimized operational (energy and personnel) cost savings and reduced building construction costs.

William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Building Systems be incorporated into the individual rate structures. A full cost benefit ratio could be performed to determine if this would be a viable/attractive concept. However, if individual title is transferred for the properties, then we believe that the central utility system should be abandoned and individual systems serving each facility constructed. It should be noted that the current development plant calls for major new road construction directly at the current boiler plant site. If this is the case this equipment will need to be relocated, or some combination of central and distributed plant established, or the unused portions of the facility mothballed under new individual heating plant are established. If the plant is to be disposed, of the State should considered dismantling the plant and relocating it to the new prison or other State facility.

State of Missouri . Division of Design & Construction MSP Redevelopment Project Framework Plan PARSONS in association with BS - 3 Development Strategies . Trivers Associates . TSi Engineering . William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Building Systems Utility Distribution & Steam Tunnels Existing Conditions The steam tunnels are a mixture of brick arch structures and new reinforced concrete tunnels. The piping in these tunnels were replaced in the mid-1980’s. The steam piping appears to be in good condition, but operating personnel indicate that they have noticed increased maintenance requirements with the piping. No water leakage or standing water was observed during our visit, although some steel angle supports showed signs of advanced deterioration. Central domestic hot water piping appears to be in good condition. A large portion of this piping appears to be uninsulated. Domestic cold water piping is also installed in the tunnels. This piping appears to be in very poor condition. Proposed Actions The steam tunnels, in general, appear to be in satisfactory condition and could be reutilized; however, we have observed structural conditions that need to be addressed. The piping in the tunnel is currently 20 years old and will require escalating maintenance. Again, we believe that the future of the tunnels and piping depend on the future ownership of the campus.

We understand that almost all of the equipment and infrastructure will be relocated to the new prison. The building is serviced with steam heat from the central plant from overhead lines. Pressure is reduced inside the building to 15 lbs. A summer steam boiler (1380 lbs./hour) is contained in the building. It is currently not utilized. The boiler should be capable of providing minimal heating to a 30,000 sq. ft. structure. The building is heated with large unit heater style equipment. There is no central ventilation system. Exhaust is only provided in the finishing area. The building is fully sprinklered. Electrically the building is served from a two 600 amp/440 volt, 3 phase panel. The building has adequate power for machine shop activities. Lighting is a mixture of incandescent and fluorescent Proposed Actions The building remains viable for light machining applications. A new ventilation system and spot cooling would likely be required for a commercial setting. In general, the systems could continue to be serviceable in an industrial setting. Auxiliary Boiler

William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Building Systems Boiler House Existing Conditions The Boiler House contains the original boiler plant from the 1930’s and supplemented in 1979. The equipment is virtually useless with spare parts being stripped for other facilities. The building currently serves two functions: 1) as a transition between the new steam plant distribution system and the original steam distribution system. 2) To provide space for new condensate pumps were recently installed to return condensate to the new Boiler House. Proposed Actions The building is no longer a necessary part of the campus infrastructure except for the two minimal space requirement functions noted above. Gutted, abated and cleaned the building could be functional space adapted to many uses. Condensate Pump System Old Boiler Plant and Overhead Piping Interior View

William Tao & Associates . George Dickie Associates Building Systems Housing Unit #4 Existing Conditions Housing Unit #4 is provided with minimal mechanical and electrical systems. Steam unit heaters provide space heating; ceiling fans provide circulation. No central ventilation system is provided. The building is fully sprinklered. The building is equipped with a 440 volt service. (Amperage could not be determined.) Lighting and distributed power are minimal but meets current space requirements. Proposed Actions Any adaptive retrofit would require a wholesale gut rehab of the mechanical/electrical systems in the facility. However, we understand the current master plan may include reutilizing this facility as a history museum. If that is the case it will be important to introduce modern MEPF systems into the building in a manner that consistent with the period nature of the museum. In addition, a fully conditioned space may be difficult to achieve without substantial intrusion due to the construction of the cell units. Only partial environmental control of the cell blocks may be provided (in addition to being historically accurate), while the central core is a more conditioned space.
