Facility Renewal Funding Requirements

Funding Needs to Maintain District Buildings

What was Assessed

All

schools except those planned for demolition (Douglas & Kitchener) and those less than 5 years old (Dickens) Each Building Assessed Site assessment

Deliverables
Current

Condition analyses existing facility deficiencies Anticipated capital renewal analyses including projection of ongoing degradation Capital Funding analyses scenario comparisons

Current Condition Analyses

Classification of Requirements Priority 1 = Immediate Concerns 1 year Priority 2 = Short Term Concerns 1 to 2 years Priority 3 = Long Term Concerns 3 to 5 years Priority 4 = Recommended Priority 5 = Does not meet current codes Priority 6 = Non Structural Seismic

Green Assessments
In

addition to Condition Assessments Prepared on 60 Buildings Potential Green Initiatives:

Lighting upgrade Occupancy sensors Daylight sensors Plumbing upgrades Efficiency upgrades

Measurement Terms
CRV

(Current Replacement Value) Requirements = Sum of priorities 1, 2 and 3 FCI (Facility Condition Index) = Requirements / CRV

FCI Rating Scale

0.00

> 0.10 = Excellent 0.10 > 0.20 = Good 0.20 > 0.30 = Fair 0.30 > 0.60 = Poor 0.65 > = Dozer Bait

Examples of FCI Ratings

Example

1: Hudson Outbuilding 1911 - 151C

Recently renovated for daycare use CRV = $442,081 Requirements = $59,636 FCI = 0.135 = Good Condition
Example

2: Killarney Secondary 1961 - Main building

CRV = $45,959,293 Requirements = $25,553,367 FCI = 0.556 = Poor Condition

VSB Building Summary

Current

Replacement Value of all schools = $1,610,767,115 Total Requirements identified next 5 years = $462,893,244 Average FCI = 0.429 2 major sources of funding building renewal: Annual AFG budget & Seismic Upgrades

Seismic Program Impact

The

Facility Renewal AFG budget is supplemented by the Seismic Program Average Seismic Program funding over the last 4 years = $20.9MM/yr
Total

average annual renewal funds = $10.5MM + $20.9MM = $31.4MM/yr

Impact of Current Levels of Funding on VSB Schools FCI (5 Year Projection)

Conclusion
In order to address the ongoing building renewal needs of VSBs large inventory of older schools, the following actions need to be taken: Discussions with the Ministry and advocacy for an increased rate of seismic upgrades/replacements Discussions with the Ministry about increased AFG funding allocations to properly address building renewal requirements Discussions with the Ministry about progress on the Mechanical Systems Upgrade Program (MSUP)
