History

J li W t Middl S h l i l t d 21 31 it t 651 G t F ll R d hi h i l t d ithi th Cit f R k ill ThJulius West Middle School is located on a 21.31 acre site at 651 Great Falls Road which is located within the City of Rockville. Theexisting facility is 147,223 square feet (sf). The school was built in 4 phases of construction starting with the original buildingcomprising of 101,118 sf built in 1961. In 1964, a 15 classroom wing was constructed adding 25,870 gsf. Then in 1976 a 1,220 sfaddition was added to increase the media center. The entire facility underwent a modernization in 1993 at which point a 19,015 sfaddition was constructed. The 1993 modernization was designed by Smolen Emr Ilkovitch Architects.

The program capacity of the school is currently 995 students with current enrollment of 1046 in Grades 6 through 8. The projectedenrollment is expected to reach 1,400 based on the current enrollment projections. The proposed addition will increase the school’scapacity to 1,445 students.

Methodology

The existing school was evaluated by the design team to determine the most advantageous approach to adding the proposedprogrammed spaces. Additionally, the study indicates the impact, if any, that can be reasonably expected by adding onto theexisting facility, as well as, incorporating limited interior renovations. The evaluation is based on compliance with the EducationalSpecification dated January 10, 2011.

The study is based on the following:The study is based on the following:• Meetings with the Feasibility Study participants & MCPS Staff.• Analysis of the existing physical plant regarding additional capacity.• Review of existing construction documents provided by MCPS.• Analysis of existing site features and meeting with City of Rockville related to storm water management.• Review of the Educational Specifications.

II E ti S (C ti d)II. Executive Summary (Continued)

Overview

Julius West Middle School was originally constructed in 1961 and was originally named West Rockville Junior High School. In1961 th h l h d t i M J li W t b th l l f d b f t f d ti Th i i l1961 the school name was changed to recognize Mr. Julius West, both a local farmer and benefactor of education. The original1961 facility comprised of 101,118 sf and was later added onto in 1964 with a 25,870 sf 15 classroom addition. Then in 1976, a1,220 sf addition was added to the media center. Finally in 1993, Julius West Middle School reopened after an extensivemodernization that added another 19,015 sf bringing the facility to its current 147,223 sf.

The existing two story structure is of non-combustible construction and is fully protected by a sprinkler system. The wallsthroughout the building are of masonry, with brick veneer on the exterior walls. The structural system consists of masonry load-bearing walls, which are constructed on continuous concrete footings. The floors throughout the building are concrete and existas either concrete slabs-on-grade or framed slabs supported by steel joists. The roof is built-up roofing on corrugated metal deck,which is supported by steel joists. Virtually all of the interior walls in the building are masonry, although drywall partitions are usedto subdivide spaces in the administrative area and subdivide the previous technology labs.

Vehicular access to the school is currently through one driveway located off of Great Falls Road. This driveway serves as themain access point for all vehicles entering the site including buses, student drop-off cars, staff member cars and truck loading andunloading. The other driveway, located in the central eastern portion of the property, is currently utilized for bus-loop egress only.On-site sidewalks also link the pedestrian circulation routes of the facility to the public sidewalks along Great Falls Road.

Proposed OptionsProposed Options

Three building addition options were designed with input from the Feasibility Study participants and MCPS Staff. Each of theoptions meet all of the programmatic requirements set forth by the Educational Specifications and explores different approachestoward increasing the capacity of the school. All of the options will impact the existing building and site, however, the school willremain occupied and fully functional during construction.

Unique Elements of Option One (Preferred)

Pros

• The floor plan arrangement is compact and provides a looped circulation on the first floor.• The addition efficiently divides classrooms between all three levels of the school increasing flexibility.• The proposed connection to the existing school corridors will increase usage of the central north-south corridor.• The compact nature of the addition as well as central location will have the least travel distance of the other proposed

options.Utili i th d fl f th dditi l l ill di l d i l ti i i ti id• Utilizing the ground floor for three additional classrooms will disperse classrooms and circulation in existing corridorsmore evenly.

• The proposed corridor layout will allow for straight sightlines at key corridor intersections for improved supervision.• The majority of classroom windows will not face Interstate 270 which will result in a natural reduced noise levels in

classrooms.• Construction is localized to one compact area.• Location of auxiliary gymnasium maintains direct access to the fields from the existing north-south corridor adjacent to

the existing gymnasium.

Cons

• The addition encroaches onto the playfields• The addition encroaches onto the playfields.

Unique Elements of Option Two

Option Two - The proposed addition is comprised of a one-story and two-story addition that adjoins the south face of the existingf ilit Th t ti f th dditi i h ld ti ht t th i ti b ildi d tili i ti id t li k b k t thfacility. The one-story portion of the addition is held tight to the existing building and utilizes existing corridors to link back to theexisting facility. The two-story classroom addition is pulled away from the existing building and creates a looped corridorcirculation pattern connecting back at two locations on each floor. The additional separation between the existing and newaddition creates a two-story courtyard. The additions will require an automatic sprinkler system.

• The two-story addition will be added to the south of the school onto the current play fields.• The proposed addition will include all spaces in according with the Educational Specifications.• This option will require the most renovation of the existing building due to the multiple corridor connections.• The extended length of the proposed addition will be the most disruptive to existing classrooms during construction.• The bus loop will be expanded to the south of the site, and have a separate entrance and exit off of Great Falls Road• The student drop-off and parking lot entrance will also have a separate entrance and exit off of Great Falls Road. These

changes will substantially improve access to the site, as well as eliminate any potentially mixing of bus, student drop-off cars,g y p , y p y g , p ,and pedestrian traffic.

• A new courtyard will provide natural light to spaces in both the existing facility and addition.

Unique Elements of Option Two

PPros

• The new addition provides a looped circulation pattern on both the first and second floor.

Cons

Th dditi i d t t t fl d ill i t l ti t l• The addition is spread out onto two floors and will increases travel time to classrooms.• Construction is more disruptive to students.• The addition encroaches more onto the fields in the east-west direction.• The addition does not engage the ground floor.• The size of the addition is larger due to replacement of existing classrooms.• Existing band room will not have natural light.• Concern that increase circulation along the existing east-west corridor will create traffic jams between classes.• Distance to new west stairwells on second floor is to far and not be utilized.• Existing north-south corridor adjacent to gymnasium does not lead directly to fields.

Estimated construction cost for building and site: Site Cost: $1 522 000g Site Cost: $1,522,000

Building Cost: $10,489,000

Total: $12,011,000

Unique Elements of Option Three

Option Three – The proposed addition is comprised of two separate additions. A one-story addition located on the southwesternf f th i ti h l d t t dditi th t dj i th th t f f th i ti f ilit Th t tface of the existing school and a two story addition that adjoins the southeastern face of the existing facility. The two-storyaddition is skewed at a 45 degree angle from the existing facility and has a prominent exposure along Great Falls Road. Thenew addition will require an automatic sprinkler system.

• The proposed addition will include all spaces in accordance with the Educational Specifications.• The addition will require extensive renovation at the proposed rotunda area connecting back to the existing corridor.• The skewed orientation of the two-story addition has the least impact onto the existing playfields.• The bus loop will be expanded to the south of the site, and have a separate entrance and exit off of Great Falls Road.• The student drop-off and parking lot entrance will also have a separate entrance and exit off of Great Falls Road. These

changes will substantially improve access to the site, as well as eliminate any potentially mixing of bus, student drop-off cars,and pedestrian traffic.

• The construction of two separate additions will require separate constructions areas.p q p

Unique Elements of Option Three

Pros

• The addition has the least disturbance to the fields.

Cons

• The addition does not allow a line of sight to the fields from the front of the school.A t th l fi ld b th it i h d b th l ti f th dditi• Access to the playfields by the community is hampered by the location of the addition.

• Two construction sites are required.• Long, dead end corridors with remote stair wells is a security concern.• Travel time from the classroom addition wing would be an issue.• Classroom addition is not intergraded well with the existing classrooms and support spaces.• Congestion at new corridor intersection on both floors will be excessive even with enlarged “rotunda like” area.• The addition is larger due to the replacement of two existing computer labs that will be displaced.• Existing north-south corridor adjacent to gymnasium does not lead directly to fields.

Existing Site

General Site Information

The Julius West Middle School facility is situated on a 21.31 acre lot at 651 Great Falls Road, Rockville, Maryland. The property is found on ADC Map book grid 5164-D8 and has a tax account number of 4-00143132. The site is zoned R-60 and is bounded to the southwest by the Interstate Highway-270 Corridor, to the southeast by the Falls Road right-of-way, to the east by the Great Falls Road right-of-way, to the northeast by detached single family homes and to the northwest by attached single family homes.

Based on the current City of Rockville Zoning Ordinance, dimensional regulations for the property will include the following:

Front setback – 25’Front setback where established setback exceeds standard - 50'Side setback where street abuts – 20’

Side setback where land abuts - 8'Rear setback – 20’Maximum building height - 35'Maximum site building coverage – 35% Maximum impervious surfaces in front yard - 40%

The zoning ordinance will also require any site improvements to adhere to the landscaping, screening, and lighting requirements associated with the parking lot.p g

Adjoining StreetsThere are three public right-of-ways which border the site. Interstate 270, Falls Road, and Great Falls Road. Of the three, Great Falls Road is the only street which offers vehicular or pedestrian access into the site. This two-lane, 30-mph street is lined on both sides with sidewalks and street trees. The pavement appears to be in good condition, and generally free from substantial cracking. Sidewalks along the streets are also in good condition, however, many curb ramps at the driveway intersections do not have the detectable warning g , , y p y gsurfaces required by ADA. If site improvements are proposed, these areas should be upgraded to meet current ADA requirements.

Existing Site (Continued)

Site Access, Parking and Circulation:

On-Site Pedestrian and Vehicular AccessVehicular access to the school is currently afforded through one driveway located off of Great Falls Road. This driveway servesas the main access point for all vehicles entering the site including buses, student drop-off, staff members and loading. The other driveway, located in the central eastern portion of the property, is currently utilized for bus-loop egress only. On-sitesidewalks also link the pedestrian circulation routes of the facility to the public sidewalks along Great Falls Road.

Driveway EntrancesDriveway EntrancesAs mentioned previously, there are two existing driveways on the property. The main driveway located on the northeasterncorner of the site serves as the main site entrance and is also utilized as the main exit for all vehicles excluding buses. This 55-foot two-way asphalt driveway is divided by a landscaped median in order to separate the two lanes of traffic. Pavement in thisarea appears to be in good condition aside from minor cracks. In terms of visibility, however, the site distance issues can benoticed when looking north on Great Falls Road. Because of the vertical curvature of the roadway coupled with the street trees,oncoming traffic can be difficult to detect for vehicles leaving the siteoncoming traffic can be difficult to detect for vehicles leaving the site.The remaining driveway is located approximately 100-feet to the north of the Falls Road, Great Falls Road intersection on theeastern side of the site. This one-way asphalt driveway is approximately 20-feet in width and provides egress from the bus-loop. Superficially, this driveway also appears to be in decent condition and free from substantial cracking. Again, however, sitedistance deficiencies are prevalent. Here, the issue is centered around the proximity of the driveway to the adjacent intersection.Although the exit is one-way, left turns out of the site may have difficulty as oncoming traffic approaches from the Falls Roadt li ht Oth i i l th b f d t t bl i f th b f b th d i It istop-light. Other issues involve the absence of detectable warning surfaces on the curb ramps of both driveways. It is

recommended that driveway relocations are analyzed in order to improve the safety of vehicles entering and exiting the site. Ata minimum, ADA upgrades should be anticipated for all cross-walks and curb ramps associated with the site improvements.

Bus LoopThe school’s bus-loop consists of 18-chevron style parking spaces and a 20-foot drive aisle along the eastern side of the school.Five extra spaces are also striped in at the end of the bus area as well. For access, buses use the main site entrance and arethen required to cross over general site traffic to enter the bus-loop area, delineated by signage for bus use only. With stripingfor 23 buses and ample width for buses to pass one another, it appears that the size of the bus-loop is sufficient for the 18individual routes that are currently listed as serving the school. Although the existing layout is functional, it is not ideal to havebus-traffic crossing the main exit for the student drop-off/parking lot.

IV E i ti C diti (C ti d)IV. Existing Conditions (Continued)


In terms of ADA compliance, the bus-loop drop-off area does provide a small handicap ramp; however, the ramp is not up tocurrent code as there is no detectable warning surfaces. Furthermore, there is no passenger loading zone, which is required byADA.

Student Drop-off LoopThe student drop-off loop is located on the northern side of the building and consists of a 200-foot long, 22-foot wide drive aislewhich meanders through the main parking lot. Although there is some discernment between the parking lot and the studentdrop-off, there is not enough separation to prevent confusion between parking lot and drop-off areas. Moreover, with staffp g p p p g pmembers and parents trying to utilize the area at roughly the same time, it is likely that the drop-off/parking lot area can getcongested during peak use times. Currently, handicap access from the drop-off area is accomplished with a curb ramp. Due tothe lack of detectable warning surfaces, this route is not up to current ADA requirements. It is recommended that the parking lotand drop-off area be revised to create a greater separation of uses to increase safety and reduce confusion. At a minimum, anADA accessible route from the student drop-off loop to the building should be created.

On-Site ParkingCurrently, there are two separate areas with parking spaces located on the site. The main parking lot is immediately visibleupon site entry and contains approximately 130 spaces, five of which are designated as handicap accessible spaces. Of thefive handicap spaces, two are classified as van-accessible meeting the current ADA requirements for this lot. The other parkinglot is located in the same general area just to the west of the mechanical yard and loading area on the north side of the school.This lot contains 13 spaces however none are currently designated for handicap usage Although the main parking lotThis lot contains 13-spaces, however, none are currently designated for handicap usage. Although the main parking lotprovides an adequate ratio of handicap spaces, the smaller lot should provide a van accessible space as well in order to fullycomply with the current standards. On the surface, the parking lot is in fair condition. There are areas where curbs have beenbroken and substantial cracking is evident. However, the parking lot seems to offer an adequate number of spaces, and asidefrom the drop-off loop, it seems to be laid out in an orderly fashion. It is anticipated that the along with any other siteimprovements, the smaller lot will be required to provide a van accessible parking space.

On-Site LoadingThe loading area is located on the northwestern corner of the building, between the two parking areas noted above. Access isgained by following the main drive aisle of the parking lot all the way around to the building. Although this area appears to befunctioning as intended, there may be some traffic conflicts associated with the location of the loading area in relation to themain parking lot and drop-off loop. In terms of condition however, the hardscape surfaces associated with the loading area

27

appear to be holding up well.




SidewalksAlthough many of the areas are not in compliance with current ADA standards the site does provide a thorough layout forAlthough many of the areas are not in compliance with current ADA standards, the site does provide a thorough layout forpedestrian circulation. Linked together by the sidewalks of the Great Falls Road right-of-way, on-site sidewalks providemovement between the various athletic fields, playgrounds, bus loop and parking lots. Because of the topography, thesidewalks that come in from the northeastern side of the parking lot and bus loop currently present an area too steep tocontribute to an accessible route. In fact, grades in excess of eight percent were measured in this area. Areas closer to thebuilding do not have the same gradient issues; however, severe cracking has ruined much sidewalks located next to thehandicap parking spaces In other places such as the northwestern corner of the track issues such as poor drainage havehandicap parking spaces. In other places such as the northwestern corner of the track, issues such as poor drainage haveallowed sediment to accumulate. It should be anticipated that site improvements will likely include comprehensive sidewalkreplacement in order to bring all areas of the site within ADA compliance.

Fire AccessCurrently, there are no areas delineated as fire lanes. As the bus-loop and the student drop-off loop both meet the dimensional

i t f fi l it i d th t th h th dditi f i i t t d fi b id drequirements of a fire lane it is assumed that through the addition of signage or paint, up to code fire access can be provided.As the building does have sprinklers, accessibility from both sides can be accomplished within the 500-feet maximum allowed.In either case it can be anticipated that fire truck access to the rear of the building will likely be required with any proposedimprovements.

Site TopographyGenerally, the property slopes from a high-point in the northeast to the southern and western corners of the site. Essentially thesite is relatively flat, however, portions of the property along the eastern boundary boast steep slopes, limiting access optionsoff of Great Falls Road. Retaining walls should be anticipated if proposed site improvements include the alteration of grades inthe eastern portions of the site.

VegetationgThe majority of significant on-site vegetation is concentrated around the perimeter of the property. Here, it will be likely thatmultiple significant trees and areas classified as forest cover can be encountered. It will be important to coordinate siteimprovements to avoid disturbance of any large trees on-site during construction. If the proposed improvements involveimpacts to specimen trees, a variance of the forest conservation law will need to be approved by the City Arborist.

Water and SewerThe existing building is served by two sanitary sewer house connections to the 8-inch mainline that runs through the propertyThe existing building is served by two sanitary sewer house connections to the 8 inch mainline that runs through the propertyon the southern side of the existing building. It is assumed that the sanitary sewer service is sufficiently meeting the currentneeds of the building and should also meet the needs of any prospective improvements. The 8” mainline running through theproperty will require relocation and need to be filed and approved by the City of Rockville.Water service is currently gained through a water house connection which runs through the bus-loop and connects to the 10-inch mainline in the Great Falls Road right-of-way. It is assumed that the existing water service is of sufficient capacity to meetthe needs of the prospective improvementsthe needs of the prospective improvements.Per the fire flow test conducted on 03-28-11 on the mainline in Great Falls Road, pressures were determined to be between 42psi and 58 psi. It is assumed that the existing domestic water service is of sufficient capacity to meet the needs of theprospective improvements.

Gas, Electric and Telephone, Etc.All tilit i ti d ith th i i li i th G t F ll R d i ht f El t i d t l hAll utility service connections are made with the main service lines in the Great Falls Road right-of-way. Electric and telephoneservice connections come into the building on the north side from overhead lines which run along the northern property line intothe right-of-way. Gas service is obtained in the same area and connects to the main in Great Falls Road as well. There are noother dry utility service connections known on-site. It should be noted that there are a number of utility poles along the GreatFalls Road right-of-way and the north and northwest property lines. Should site improvements be proposed in these areas,there could be the potential for utility pole relocations.

Storm Drainage and Stormwater ManagementAll stormwater is currently conveyed to the southwestern corner of the site, where it is eventually discharged to the lowerelevations adjacent to Interstate 270. Runoff in the bus loop and the parking lot are piped and treated by an oil/grit separatorlocated on the western edge of the main parking lot. It should be noted that there is an existing Stormwater ManagementEasement associated with the oil/grit separator. After treatment the water is then piped to the southwestern corner of theg p p pproperty via 21" RCP. All remaining runoff sheet-flows to the vegetated areas between the property and Interstate-270.It can be anticipated that site improvements will be required to include Environmental Site Design (ESD) to the maximum extentpracticable in order to treat all areas inside the limits of disturbance. If ESD efforts are exhausted and the site has still not beenable to reach a hydrologic state of “woods in good condition,” then structural practices may be permitted as determined by TheCity of Rockville.

29




Potential ESD stormwater management practices for the site include both micro-scale practices and alternative surfaces. Micro-scale facilities could include the utilization of bio-swales and micro-bioretention facilities where available open space can be found, such as parking lot islands and around the athletic fields. Alternative surfaces would include vegetative roofing forbuilding additions as well as permeable pavements. Permeable pavements could be utilized instead of traditional hardscapes in all areas where heavy loading or significant fill are not required.

Site SoilsPer the Soil Survey of Montgomery County, Maryland the predominant soils on the site are in the Glenelg, Baile, Legore and y g y y y p g gWheaton series. According to the USDA, the depth to bedrock is usually greater than five feet in all of these soils. However, it should be noted that this estimated depth is based upon virgin soils. Because the site was previously disturbed, bedrock could be encountered at shallower depths. It will be necessary to perform site-specific borings to establish the actual depths to bedrock. In terms of hydrology, Glenelg, Wheaton, and Legore soil groups are characteristically known to provide good drainage and allow adequate infiltration. With a ‘B’ hydrologic soil group classification and typical groundwater depths greater than five feet,allow adequate infiltration. With a B hydrologic soil group classification and typical groundwater depths greater than five feet, limitations on stormwater management facilities and significant anti-flotation measures are not anticipated for site improvements proposed on these soils. Baile soil groups however, are characteristically known to have high groundwater depths and poor drainage. It should be noted that there may be some restrictions on the types of stormwater management facilities that can be utilized in areas where these soils are present.

Flood Plains Stream Valley Buffers and Non Tidal WetlandsFlood Plains, Stream Valley Buffers and Non-Tidal WetlandsInitial investigations reveal that the site is safely located outside of a floodplain in a zone “X” on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map number 24031C0333D. Furthermore, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Mapping services there are no nationally recognized wetlands located on or around the site.

Existing Building (Continued)

MECHANICAL

GeneralJulius West Middle School was originally constructed in 1961, with an addition in 1964, and a very small addition in 1976. During the 1992-1993 school year, a systemic modernization was performed, along with a 19,000 square foot addition, bringing the school to its present 147,223 square feet. This modernization included upgrades to the building’s mechanical and plumbing equipment. It appears that most of the mechanical and plumbing equipment within the building dates back to the 1993 renovation with the exception of the water heater and some of the piping systems Since this piping is 50 years old we arerenovation, with the exception of the water heater and some of the piping systems. Since this piping is 50 years old, we arevery concerned about the interior condition of the piping. If it is decided to replace this equipment in the near future, all of the associated piping should be replaced.

Heating SystemsTwo steel boilers produce heating water for the building. These boilers were installed during the 1993 renovation and appear to b i d ki diti Th b il f t i B h B il C (M d l 4FW 360A) d th b il fbe in good working condition. The boiler manufacturer is Burnham Boiler Company (Model 4FW-360A) and the boilers are of the fire tube type design with a built-in base. This equipment has a gross output rating of 3,015 mbh per boiler. While the existing boilers are functioning adequately to satisfy the existing school, there does not appear to be enough surplus capacity to support any large addition proposed for this school. The existing boilers were sized to handle 30 btu/hr per square foot based on the industry standard of each boiler being sized for two-thirds of the load as a back-up arrangement if one boiler fails. The 30 btu/hr/sf is marginal even for a well-insulated modern day building. Another concern is that the present installation does not meet the requirements of the current CSD-1 boiler code. The code requires three feet of clearance on three sides of the boiler and above, as well as five feet of clearance in front of the boiler. The three side clearances appear to be available but the five-foot clearance in front is not available for one boiler. Currently, each boiler is provided with one low-water cut-off. There is no automatic low-water cut-off back-up provided. Flues from each boiler connect together into one flue that connects to one masonry stack. Each gas-fired boiler-burner is manufactured by Gordon Piatt. The Gordon Piatt Company is no longer in business and parts for burners are difficult to acquire. The combustion air openings are two louvers in the wall with combustion p q p gair dampers. Each louver is dedicated to a boiler. The present combustion air arrangement does not comply with the current International Mechanical Code (IMC).

Heating water is supplied to the building through the two-pipe chilled/heating water pumps, which will be explained further in the report. The system is equipped with an air separator, shot feeder, and an air-charged expansion tank.

31




MECHANICAL (Continued)

It is anticipated that the existing expansion tank capacity is not capable of supporting any planned building additions. Theexisting tank could be replaced with a diaphragm type to serve the heating system if the existing piping system were expanded.

The existing boiler room still has the original incinerator that connects to the other masonry stack in the building. The incinerator is no longer being used since they were disallowed by the EPA for use in occupied areas. The brick unit could beremoved but must be disassembled so asbestos can be removed and disposed of to meet today's standardsremoved but must be disassembled so asbestos can be removed and disposed of to meet today s standards.

Also located in the lower level boiler room, is a Trane Centravac water-cooled chiller (Model CVHE-456). The centrifugal 456-ton chiller was installed as part of the 1993 modernization and is in reasonably good condition. The chiller uses R-123 refrigerant, which is to be phased out in the next couple of years. We are not aware of any acceptable refrigerant replacement for R-123. There is no excess chiller capacity to support any additions to the building. The chiller is located in the same room

th b il hi h i t d d d t th ibilit f f i t l k A f i t it i t h bas the boiler, which is not recommended due to the possibility of a refrigerant leak. A refrigerant monitoring system has been installed which will shutdown the boilers and water heater and activate the exhaust fan if a refrigerant leak is detected.There are three end-suction pumps that serve the chilled/heating water system and condenser water system. The pump discharge is connected together with a manual valve to separate pump flows. One pump handles the chilled/heating water supply for the building, one pump handles the condenser water loop between the chiller and outside cooling tower for the heatrejection from the chiller, and the one pump in the middle of the group is a standby pump for either loop. By opening certain valves and closing others, pumps can serve either system until repairs are made.

Outside mounted at grade is a Baltimore Air Coil (BAC) forced draft cooling tower with a "Baltibond" coating. The cooling tower (Model VTI-307-OCR) is in very good condition Cooling towers normally only have a maximum life of 20 years, however the Baltibond coating may have extended its life and could be why it is presently in such good condition. None of the exterior water piping is heat traced or insulated which would indicate that the tower is drained every year to prevent pipe from freezing. Thep p g y y p p p gdrains from the cooling tower discharge into a small drain pit and appear to be connected to the storm water system. Presentday codes require these drains to be connected to the sanitary piping system due to the chemical treatment systems that are used on the condenser water loop to extend the life of the piping system. The chemical treatment system is located in the boiler room under the stairs. The system can remain as is for now but when the cooling tower is replaced, MCPS will either have to change the drain arrangement or use one of the new electronic filter type units that do not use any chemicals.

32





I dditi t hill d t l di t i (DX) t li t i t ithi th b ildi Th DX tIn addition to chilled water, several direct expansion (DX) type cooling systems exist within the building. These DX systemsserve the computer lab, "IT" terminal room(s), administration area, and several air-handling units (AHUs) with interior spaces.These spaces typically require cooling operation at times when chilled water is not available.

HVAC SystemsThe heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems vary slightly throughout the building. Most systems were installedduring the 1993 modernization and appear to be in good condition. The following is a breakdown of the various spaces andtheir associated HVAC system:

•Typical Classroom: Classrooms are heated and cooled through fan-coil units and unit ventilators connected to the building'stwo-pipe chilled/heating water system. Some units have a direct outdoor air connection through a louver mounted in theexterior wall. An exhaust register is provided for each classroom to maintain proper room pressurization. Exhaust air fromg p p p pseveral classrooms is ducted to a fan. Units were installed during the 1993 modernization and appear to be in good workingcondition.

•Air-handling units serve the various Tech ED areas on the lower level of the building. Each unit has supply, return, and outsideair. Units are Trane modular type and are in good condition. Each unit has two coils, one connected to the two-pipechilled/heating water system and the other coil is a DX cooling coil that is activated when cooling is needed and chilled water ischilled/heating water system and the other coil is a DX cooling coil that is activated when cooling is needed and chilled water isnot available. There appear to be five AHU's on the lower level creating five temperature control zones.

•AHU's serve several large areas on the first floor that also have dedicated units. These areas include Cafeteria and Media.The Gymnasium also has a dedicated unit but it is designed for heating only, even though the two-pipe system is connected tothe unit. The air-conditioning portion is blocked by control valves so cooling cannot be activated.

•Administration and Health Suite: The air-handling unit serving the administration and health suite areas is located in thebuilding’s mechanical room. This unit is equipped with both a combination chilled/heating water coil and an additional DXcooling coil. This DX coil provides cooling at times when building chilled water is not available. This unit and associatedcomponents appear to be in good working condition and were installed as part of the 1993 modernization. No switch operatedexhaust fan is provided for the Health Suite area. This fan is recommended for situations where odors need to be purged fromh H l h S i

the Health Suite area..





• Building Exhaust Systems: Roof-mounted fans remove exhaust air throughout the building. These fans and associated roofcurbs appear to be in good condition and were installed during the 1993 modernization. There are select fans that havedamage to their external housing; however, these fans appear to still be operating.

Control SystemThe existing control system for the school is a pneumatic control system Major valves dampers and sensor components areThe existing control system for the school is a pneumatic control system. Major valves, dampers and sensor components areprovided with pneumatic operation. Building control is interfaced with the central MCPS energy management control system foroccupied/unoccupied settings. A duplex type air compressor system complete with a horizontal storage tank is located withinthe boiler room and serves the building’s pneumatic control components. Air supplied from this compressor system is fedthrough a refrigerated dryer system. Both the air compressor and refrigerated dryer systems appear to be in good workingcondition.

Plumbing System

The existing water service to the building should be adequate for the addition but cannot be determined until building layoutsare further developed. New plumbing fixtures used today, like water closets, use less water than in the past but require morepressure due to the pressure drop at the fixture. Existing water closet only requires 25 psi to operate. Present day waterclosets need 35 psi to operate properly. The existing static water pressure is 57 psi total. The need for a booster pump will bereviewed based on line losses and elevation of fixtures.

Domestic hot water was designed in 1993 to be generated by two gas-fired water heaters, with a capacity of about 150 to 200gallons each. Today water heater No. 1 has been disconnected and is sitting empty on the floor. Water heater No. 2 has beenreplaced by an 80-gallon gas-fired heater manufactured by Jetglas with 450 mbh gas input. The heater looks to be one to twop y g g y g g pyears old and is in very good condition, however we are concerned with it being able to satisfy the present school's hot waterdemand. A domestic hot water circulation pump maintains a continuous hot water flow throughout the building. The system isnot equipped with an expansion tank or mixing valve, which is typically provided on today’s new systems. Based on theplumbing requirements of the planned addition, an additional hot water heater is required.

34




PLUMBING (Continued)

Plumbing fixtures appear to be in good condition and were installed as part of the 1993 modernization. The water closets arefloor-mounted, urinals are wall-hung, and the lavatories are individual wall-hung type. The school is equipped with plumbingfixtures that meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

Fire Protection SystemThe building is currently provided with sprinkler coverage throughout A 6 inch fire line is provided with a 6 inch double checkThe building is currently provided with sprinkler coverage throughout. A 6-inch fire line is provided with a 6-inch double-checktype backflow preventer. This fire line serves five zone valve assemblies, four wet and one dry pipe, each located within theboiler room. Sprinkler mains extend from each zone valve assembly and serve sprinkler heads located in respective zones onthe first and second floors. Sprinkler system components appear to be in good condition. The existing 6-inch fire serviceappears adequately sized to support any planned additions to the school.

ELECTRICALELECTRICAL

Power DistributionThe school is fed from a PEPCO transformer located outside the building in an underground vault. The main distributionswitchboard located in the Main Electrical Room is rated 2000-amp, 277/480 volts, 3-phase, 4-wire with a single main fusedload break switch in the switchboard. The switchboard is manufactured by General Electric and was installed in 1994. Thereare three distribution sections that consist of fused switches. The fused switches serve the chiller and mechanical equipment,elevators, approximately seven panelboards, portable classrooms, and a step down transformer. There is another disconnectswitch for the emergency power that is tapped ahead of the mains in the switchboard. The emergency disconnect switch servesthe automatic transfer switch. The switchboard feeds the lighting panelboards throughout the building that, in turn, serve dry-type transformers that feed the building receptacles and other 120/208 panelboards.

Panelboards and dry-type transformers are generally located in closets throughout the building. Each location has a 277/480-volt panelboard for lighting, a dry-type 480-120/208-volt transformer, and 120/208-volt panelboards receptacles and small loads.Panelboards throughout the school were installed in 1994 and appear to be in good condition.

V D i ti f O tiV. Description of Options

General

Three design options for expanding Julius West Middle School have been developed in response to MCPS EducationalSpecifications Each option addresses the incorporation of instructional requirements and the physical impact to the schoolSpecifications. Each option addresses the incorporation of instructional requirements and the physical impact to the schoolin a different manner, as well as addressing different approaches to improving site access and circulation.

All three options propose a two-story addition to the rear of the existing building, along the south face, with differentconfigurations for each option. Connecting the proposed addition to the existing building and its systems, will requiredifferent degrees of renovation work within the existing building. Additional renovation work, with regard to relocating orreorganizing programs within the existing building differs slightly for all three options Modifications to the existing schoolreorganizing programs within the existing building, differs slightly for all three options. Modifications to the existing schoolhave been kept to a minimum, such that it will not interfere with the occupancy of the school. Work required in existingoccupied areas can be accomplished during summer break. All proposed work occurs in and connects to the ground, firstand second floors of the existing building.

It is anticipated that the proposed scope of work will take 18 months of construction utilizing two summers when the schoolis empty.

Common Design Elements

Building

The following renovations and proposed additions are common to all three options.

• The two original technology labs, located on the ground floor, have been subdivided into smaller instructional spaces utilizing drywall partitions. The area will be completely renovated to meet current multipurpose technology lab curriculum and multipurpose lab requirements.

• The existing classroom located at the north east corner, adjacent to the health room, will be subdivided for a guidance conference room, and two assistant principal offices. The renovated classroom has been accounted for in all proposed options.

• The existing guidance conference room will be repurposed to a guidance counselor’s office.

The configuration of the auxiliary gymnasiums are arranged to allow for a possible operable partition between the two auxiliaryconfiguration of the auxiliary gymnasiums are arranged to allow for a possible operable partition between the two auxiliary gymnasium spaces.

Site Modifications

Currently no relocatable classrooms are located on the school site. It is anticipated that prior to the completion of the proposedaddition enrollment at the school will require relocatable classrooms The location of future relocatable classrooms should beaddition, enrollment at the school will require relocatable classrooms. The location of future relocatable classrooms should belimited to the existing basketball court and tennis court area located on the west side of the facility. This area will allow accessfrom an existing stairwell located on the west in addition to being closely located to the existing main electrical room. Thislocation will afford easy access by emergency vehicles and also not require movement of relocatable classrooms duringconstruction.

P ki d Sit Ci l tiParking and Site Circulation

Currently buses and cars enter the school at the same entrance. In the proposed bus loop reconfiguration the site has oneentrance and exit for buses and a separate entrance and exit for cars. The proposed bus entrance will be on axis with theentrance of the church across Great Falls Road. Additional capacity of the bus loop will be achieved by increasing the lengthtowards the south of the site. New ADA sidewalks and ramps will be utilized to provide access to parking lots, bus loop and

39

play fields.

modification of site circulation will vary slightly among the three proposed options, they will be generally modified for all optionsas follows:as follows:

Provide separate access points for bus and car traffic by separating the shared entrance point. This will alleviate thecongestion that occurs in the morning and afternoons as buses enter and cars attempt to leave.

Reconfiguration of ADA parking spaces to provide full compliance with new guidelines.

Installation of detectable warning surfaces at curb ramps.g p

Provide passenger loading zone in accordance with ADA requirements in both the bus and student-drop off.

By improving traffic flow through the site and separating ingress and egress for buses and student drop-off traffic congestionwill be reduced and overall site safety for all users is improved. In addition, adequate ADA-compliant handicap parking spacesand access routes will be provided as required in connection with any improvements to the site and school.

Site Features

Three retaining walls of various heights from 4 feet to 8 feet high will be required in several locations around the perimeter ofthe proposed bus loop. The existing school marquee sign will be relocated along Great Falls Road.

Playfields and Paved AreasPlayfields and Paved Areas

In all options, the playfield and paved surface area requirements have been meet. The playfields and all paved areas willremain on the southern and western ends of the site. In all options, the playfields and track have been modified toaccommodate the proposed addition. Additional improvements include the following:

A new outdoor storage building adjacent to the auxiliary gymnasium addition A new outdoor storage building adjacent to the auxiliary gymnasium addition.

Three separate softball fields which include improvement to existing lower field water drainage issues.

Two additional tennis courts are located at the west of the existing four tennis courts.

Utilities

A connection to the existing public water service, will be provided to serve the proposed additions. A connection to the existing sanitary sewer service, will be provided to serve the proposed additions. Relocation of an existing 8” sewer line will be required. Existing electric and telephone services need to be discussed with the utility companies when final loads are

established during design.

Building structural system

The two-story addition proposed in all options will be constructed of steel frame construction and masonry walls. Theaddition will be supported by a network of steel columns and beams, which will sit on concrete spread footings. Where thenew addition lies adjacent to the existing building, the new building will be supported by a steel frame on continuous

f f fconcrete footings. The ground floor will be concrete slab-on-grade, and the main floor will be a composite concrete slab onmetal deck, supported by steel joists and/or beams, and the steel superstructure. The roof will be a extensive vegetativeroof system over built-up roofing on metal deck, supported by steel joists and/or beams. The horizontal elements of theroof structure will be sloped at a minimum of 1/4” per 1’-0”, so as to provide adequate roof drainage. Exterior walls will beinsulated masonry cavity walls, consisting of a CMU backup on the interior side, and a masonry veneer such as brick onthe exterior side. Interior masonry walls will be single-wythe CMU walls. All masonry walls will be internally reinforced,both horizontally and vertically.

Mechanical

HVAC SystemBased on the proposed size of the addition, the existing boilers and chiller do not have the capacity needed to satisfyBased on the proposed size of the addition, the existing boilers and chiller do not have the capacity needed to satisfyconditions. For this reason, we recommend a new boiler room and air-cooled chiller be added to handle the new addition.Any changes in the present boiler room will require an upgrade to the systems to meet present day codes, which would becostly. The existing equipment is in good condition and should last another 10 to 15 years.

41





We considered providing a different type of system in the new addition but providing two different HVAC systems in aschool for a long period of time can lead to improper operation of some of the equipment.

The HVAC system for the new addition would be a two-pipe system. The boiler would provide heating water and an air-cooled chiller would provide chilled water. An air-cooled chiller is recommended due to the small tonnage required. Two b t d d ti d i l d/l t ill l th hill d/h ti t t th dditi S tbase-mounted end-suction pumps arranged in a lead/lag setup will supply the chilled/heating water to the addition. System accessories such as expansion tank and air separator will be provided. The controls for the new addition will be direct digital controls (DDC). The existing school system controls will be integrated into the new system, as required, to simplifybuilding operations.

Plumbing SystemsThe existing domestic cold and hot water system will be extendable to pick-up the new addition. The existing gas-firedwater heater will be replaced to satisfy the added demand from the addition. Accessories should be added to the waterheater, such as expansion tank and water temperature controller, to meet the present code and manufacturer’srequirements. The new plumbing fixtures will be designed to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and will utilizewater conservation features. Floor-mounted water closets will utilize dual action flush valves with 1.6 gallons or 1.0 gallonper flush. Urinals will be wall-hung with flush valves supplying one-pint per flush. Wall-hung cast-iron lavatories will utilizep g pp y g p p gself-closing faucets that supply 0.5 gallons per minute. The water consumption figures noted are equal to or less thanthose required by code.

Fire Protection SystemThe present fire protection system for the existing school building will be extended to handle the new addition. Based onfirewall separation requirements a new sprinkler zone will be created to serve the new addition Also any air-handling unitfirewall separation requirements, a new sprinkler zone will be created to serve the new addition. Also, any air handling unitsupplying 2,000 cfm or more to a space will be equipped with smoke detectors in the supply and return air ductwork tomeet present codes.

Electrical

P Di t ib tiPower DistributionThe existing service switchboard is not adequate to serve the new construction. The existing demand load may be smallenough to allow for the new addition, however, the size of the main switchboard is smaller than the MCPS standard formiddle schools and the space available for additional fused switches to be installed in the switchboard is limited. To reusethe existing switchboard would require tapping the bus of the switchboard for a new breaker that would need to beapproximately 1000A. There is no room in the existing electrical room for this new breaker that would be within the code-required 25 feet for a bus tap. Therefore, a new switchboard and power company service is anticipated.

The new service switchboard will be located in a new electrical room in the addition to minimize power outages. The newswitchboard will backfeed the existing switchboard to minimize the impact on the existing electrical system. Alternatively,the new switchboard could replace the existing in the same location. This would be preferred so that the impact on theservice from the power company would be lessened.p p y

A new electrical closet will also be created on each floor in the new addition for the branch circuit panelboards and dry-typetransformers.

The panelboards and associated feeders located throughout the existing building will remain. New 277/480-voltpanelboards will serve lighting and mechanical loads in the new addition. K-rated dry-type transformers in the addition willpanelboards will serve lighting and mechanical loads in the new addition. K rated dry type transformers in the addition willfeed 120/208-volt panelboards for computer power in the new addition. Designated receptacles in all new classrooms willbe connected to the computer power panelboards.

General receptacles in the addition will be connected to new “normal” 120/208-volt panelboards. New conduits will beconcealed in new walls. Where existing walls remain, surface metal raceway will be used to conceal wiring.

Emergency PowerThe current MCPS standard is to provide standby power for heating system components required to keep the building fromfreezing. The existing generator is not large enough to accomplish this task. A larger generator will be required toaccommodate both the life safety and the heating loads of the addition required for freeze protection. The new generatorcan also be sized large enough to serve the heating loads in the existing building required for freeze protection. A second

t ti t f it h ill d t b dd d t t th f i h ti l d

automatic transfer switch will need to be added to support these non-freezing heating loads.




Electrical (Continued)

LightingMCPS standard classroom lighting will be provided in the classrooms of the new addition. This will consist of high efficientfluorescent pendant fixtures. Lighting controls will include occupancy sensors and multiple levels of lighting.

Fire Alarm SystemFire Alarm SystemThe existing fire alarm control panels will remain. A new addressable fire alarm system will be provided for the addition. Thenew and old panels will be interconnected. Initiation devices and notification devices will be located to meet coderequirements.

Intercom and Sound SystemsNew intercom devices will be provided throughout the addition including call switches and speakers.

The existing Telecenter head-end console will be upgraded to increase the capacity for the new spaces.

Voice, Data, and Video SystemsThe existing voice, data, and video cabling system will be expanded to the new addition. The number of outlets in each roomwill comply with MCPS and Maryland State requirements. A new telecommunications closet will be required on each floor inthe addition to serve the new classrooms.

Security SystemThe existing security system will be expanded to the addition. Intrusion detection will include motion sensors and doorThe existing security system will be expanded to the addition. Intrusion detection will include motion sensors and doorcontacts.

Option One (Continued)

Advantages

The floor plan arrangement is compact and provides a looped circulation on the first floor. The addition efficiently divides classrooms between all three levels of the school increasing flexibility. The proposed connection to the existing school corridors will increase usage of the central north-south corridor. The compact nature of the addition as well as central location will have the least travel distance of the other proposed

options. Utilizing the ground floor for three additional classrooms will disperse classrooms and circulation in existing corridorsUtilizing the ground floor for three additional classrooms will disperse classrooms and circulation in existing corridors

more evenly. The proposed corridor layout will allow for straight sightlines at key corridor intersections. The majority of classroom windows will not face Interstate 270 which will result in a natural reduced noise levels in

classrooms. Construction is localized to one compact area. Location of auxiliary gymnasium maintains direct access to the fields from the existing north south corridor adjacent to Location of auxiliary gymnasium maintains direct access to the fields from the existing north-south corridor adjacent to

the existing gymnasium.

Disadvantages

The addition encroaches onto the playfields.

Access to the playfields by the community is hampered by the location of the additionAccess to the playfields by the community is hampered by the location of the addition. Two construction sites are required. Long, dead end corridors with remote stair wells is a security concern. Travel time from the classroom addition wing would be an issue. Classroom addition is not intergraded well with the existing classrooms and support spaces. Congestion at new corridor intersection on both floors will be excessive even with enlarged “rotunda like” area. The addition is larger due to the replacement of two existing computer labs that will be displaced The addition is larger due to the replacement of two existing computer labs that will be displaced. Existing north-south corridor adjacent to gymnasium does not lead directly to fields.
