Section 392-343-515. Modernization or new-in-lieu of modernization priority elements.

The three priority elements that are related to modernization or new-in-lieu projects are as follows:

(1) Health & safety - Twenty possible points. A maximum of sixteen points are awarded based on the evaluation contained in the Building Condition Evaluation Form (BCEF) (WAC 392-343-535) and are awarded as follows:

15 - 19 percent = 16 points, 20 - 24 percent = 15 points, 25 - 29 percent = 14 points, etc., until 95 percent at which no points are awarded.

The health and safety condition points are combined with an additional:

Two points if school does not meet seismic code requirements.

Two points if school is not asbestos free.

(2) Condition of building - Thirty possible points. The score is based on the Building Condition Evaluation Form (WAC 392-343-535) analysis for all categories other than access for persons with developmental disabilities. If the building condition score is thirty-one or less, then the maximum thirty points are awarded to the project. If the condition score is ninety-one or more, then no points are awarded. If the condition score is from thirty-two to ninety, the condition score is subtracted from ninety-one and multiplied by fifty percent to determine the points. In cases where projects affect multiple buildings, the BCEF score is weighted by the proportion of gross square feet (GSF) affected.

(3) Cost/benefit factor - Ten minus points possible. If the proposed project is a modernization and the BCEF score is less than forty, one point is deducted for each point the BCEF score is less than forty up to a total possible deduction of ten points.

If the proposed project is a new-in-lieu of modernization and the BCEF score is greater than sixty, one point is deducted for each point the BCEF score is higher than sixty to a total possible deduction of ten points.

The scores shall be determined at the time of project approval per WAC 392-341-045. These scores shall be carried until the district requests a redetermination.
