Appendix B Building Categories Summary

Appendix B: Building Groupings Summary and Methodology Outlined below is the methodology for categorizing and prioritizing the city facilities portfolio. The policy direction identified in the 2021 Facilities Plan still holds; however, it was high level and applied equally across the building portfolio. The city owns roughly 75 buildings which include: fire stations, public safety buildings, recreation centers, maintenance shops, offices and leased buildings. Given the broad range of facility types a more strategic plan for each category is needed to guide staff daily on what to do when things break. Creating a specific plan for each building is time consuming and the plans are often outdated as soon as they are created. The solution was to categorize based on condition, use and funding source to create general guidelines for investment. Creating a focused and strategic roadmap for each category, and in some cases for specific buildings, is the goal of this next phase of work and the Facilities Investment Strategy. This is both an investment strategy and provides more granular policy direction. The purpose of a strategy holding many parts is to continue to see discrete policy and investment choices in the context of the whole. Categories reflect more of how these buildings are funded (or not) as we consider our ability to maintain them. Every building on this list requires some level of funding, which is important to remember as we talk about a limited subset of the portfolio. Below is a brief description of the thinking behind each category followed by the buildings assigned to each group.

Appendix B Building Categories Summary “New” Buildings – This group of buildings represents modern buildings with no major planned upgrades and that have electricity as the primary fuel source. As mentioned in the 2021 Facilities Plan, these buildings must be maintained “well”. This is growing group of newly built or recently heavily invested in buildings. We must prioritize funding 2% Current Replacement Value (CRV) in these buildings. 1. Boulder Reservoir Visitor Services Center 2. Brenton Building 3. Fire Station 3 (New) 4. Fire Station 8 (Wild Lands) 5. Fire Training Center 6. Radio Tower Chautauqua 7. Radio Tower North Foothills 8. Radio Tower Gunbarrel 9. Radio Tower Arapahoe Ridge 10. Golf Course Restaurant 11. Scott Carpenter - Athletic Office/ pool 12. Scott Carpenter Bathhouse Buildings being Vacated– consolidation to the Western City Campus (WCC) will result in vacating buildings, some of which will be demolished, and others may be sold. In some cases, revenue can be generated through a sale, and at a minimum the liability will be removed. There are additional opportunities to vacate and consolidate other buildings, realize revenue potential, and reduce risk in the city building portfolio. The policy direction is to greatly limit investments in buildings identified for or being considered for more immediate vacation. Buildings we intend to dispose of in less than five years. 1. Atrium (vacate) 2. Spruce street building (sell?) 3. Facilities & Parks & Rec Maintenance Bldg (sell?) 4. New Britain (demolish) 5. Park Central (demolish) 6. 1301 Arapahoe (sell) 7. Iris Center (demolish) 8. Municipal Building (also a Priority Building- most spaces vacated for WCC) 9. 1500 Pearl offices (vacate) 10. OSMP Hub (OSMP has recently moved) 11. North main library – channel 8 space (vacate)

Appendix B Building Categories Summary Leased Buildings – In general, these are buildings that the city owns and leases for $1/year. This practice costs the city significant time and money. When parts of these buildings fail city staff are responsible for repair. Although not the intent of this document, staff recommend retooling leases to meet city goals by moving to a triple net lease or land lease model where tenants are responsible for all costs (similar to how the Library District is operating). Alternatively, staff recommend selling properties where it makes sense. Again, this topic deserves its own space and time to be reconciled. 1. BMoCA 2. Chautauqua Dining Hall 3. Harbeck-Bergheim House + Beach Park 4. Resource Center 5. Tea House 6. Pottery Lab 7. Mustards Last Stand 8. North Boulder Library 9. Main Library 10. Reynolds Library 11. Meadows Library 12. Carnegie Library 13. Salberg Maintenance Buildings – Smaller buildings that don’t have significant energy consumption and don’t require significant maintenance or investment (in general these are maintenance shops). The intent is to maintain these buildings with existing funding and make improvements as issues arise. 1. Foothills Maintenance Shop 2. Tantra Park Maintenance Shop 3. Park Operations / Forestry 4. Pleasant View maintenance shop 5. Boulder Reservoir Boat House 6. Boulder Reservoir Maintenance 7. Mapleton Ballfields Building 8. Valmont Park 9. Tom Watson 10. Building 13 Maintenance 11. Pleasant View Restrooms 12. Stazio Ballfields Buildings

Appendix B Building Categories Summary 13. Pearl Street Mall Visitors Kiosk 14. Fire Truck Storage Bldg. 15. Roadway Building 16. Pearl St Mall Public Restrooms 17. Flatiron Golf Pro Shop 18. Golf Course Maintenance Shops Parking Structures – Currently, all the parking structures are part of the Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID) except the Broadway Garage which serves the Alpine-Balsam site and is supported by the General Fund. Since conceiving of this grouping CAGID has come under the management of Facilities and Fleet Department. This group of buildings still generally has its own funding and clearer plans for each structure. The intent is that the strategic direction for each building will be included as part of the Facilities Investment Strategy. 1. 1500 Pearl Garage 2. 1100 Spruce Garage 3. St. Julien Garage 4. Randolph Garage 5. RTD / Garage 6. Trinity Garage 7. Broadway Garage Utilities Buildings - Buildings and structures managed by the Utilities Department. Currently utilities manage their own buildings and therefore is outside our scope of this document. Despite not addressing them in this document these buildings will still require significant investment and represent a major liability (to be clear we are not attempting to represent the process side of utilities work simply the building structures they are housed in). 1. 63rd St WTP (campus- multiple buildings) 2. 75th ST WWTC (campus- multiple buildings) 3. Betasso WTP (campus- multiple buildings) 4. External Carbon Storage Facility (ECSF) - WWTC

Appendix B Building Categories Summary Priority Buildings – This group of buildings are the ones that are of most concern, need the most investment, house critical services or have a large energy impact. It is this group that is the first focus of the Facilities Investment Strategy and current conversation. Below is the list of buildings with a short statement to explain why each building is on the list: 1. Age Well West: Failing infrastructure and no clear plan to get out of the building. 2. East Boulder Community Center: Failing infrastructure and a dated user experience. Rec Centers represents a significant portion of Facilities and Fleet natural gas emissions. 3. Fire Station 1: this is an aging building in need of investment to maintain the current level of service. In addition, there may be challenges adding ambulance services and meeting other goals and criteria of the Fire-Rescue Plan. 4. Fire Station 2: The current building is of concern with failing infrastructure and does not meet service needs. A building replacement is programmed in the current budget. 5. Fire Station 4: The current building is of concern with failing infrastructure and does not meet service needs. A building replacement is programmed in the current budget. 6. Fire Station 5: This is an aging building in need of investment to maintain the current level of service. Some recent investments have been made but more are required. In addition, there may be challenges adding ambulance services and meeting other goals and criteria of the Fire-Rescue Plan. 7. Fire Station 6: The future of this fire station is uncertain. The current building requires infrastructure replacements. 8. Fire Station 7: This is an aging building in need of investment to maintain the current level of service. Some recent investments have been made but more are required. In addition, there may be challenges adding ambulance services and meeting other goals and criteria of the Fire-Rescue Plan. 9. Fleet Services + fueling island: The demands of fleet services have outgrown its building which has not seen a major investment in many years. The building requires infrastructure replacements and upgrades to meet current service standards. 10. Municipal Building: After consolidating to the WCC the only remaining service in the Municipal building will be the City Council chambers. The building needs significant infrastructure investments to maintain functionality. The Municipal building is historic and will not significantly change form or be removed from the city’s portfolio. Staff are considering many ways to make good use of the building which will require investment in the building. The degree will be impacted by the future uses.

Appendix B Building Categories Summary 11. Municipal Service Center (MSC) A Building: Aging building that houses critical services. Recent investments were made but more will have to be done to make the building last 20-30 years. The current building configurations do not support current service standards or delivery methods. 12. MSC B Building: Adjoins the “A” building and shares utility meters, the “B” buildings basically house vehicles. These structures are energy intensive (due to heating demands) and have dated fire suppression system. 13. North Boulder Rec Center: Aging infrastructure and a dated user experience. Rec Centers represents a significant portion of Facilities and Fleet natural gas emissions. 14. Public Safety Building: The building has aging infrastructure and increasing space needs. Significant investment is required if the Police Department is to continue using the building for the next 15-20 years. 15. South Boulder Rec Center: Aging infrastructure and a dated user experience. Rec Centers represents a significant portion of Facilities and Fleet natural gas emissions.
