Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Presentation of Gallatin County’s Law and Justice Center Feasibility Study
MEETING DATE: November 13, 2017 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Listen to presentation by staff and Thinkone Architects, ask
questions, and provide direction to the City Manager to work with appropriate County officials to formally reconvene a workgroup to develop options that provide adequate facilities for the safe delivery of City and County law and justice services. RECOMMENDED MOTION: After listening to the presentations and taking public comment, I move to direct the City Manager to work with Gallatin County to formally reconvene a joint workgroup to develop options that address the critical facility and public safety needs of the City and County law and justice functions for consideration by both governing bodies.
BACKGROUND: The City and County criminal justice services are collocated at the County’s Law and Justice Center (L&J) at 615 South 16th Avenue. The current building is approximately 54,000 square feet and is a remodeled 1960’s era high school. It houses 3 District Court rooms, 2 Justice Court rooms, 2 Municipal Court rooms, the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office, the Bozeman Police Department, joint evidence processing and storage, the City/County records division, the
Gallatin County Coroner, Victim Services, and all associated support personnel. The capacity of
the current building has been greatly exceeded by the growing demand for services. More concerning is that the facility does not meet current building and life-safety codes nor does it provide basic security measures to enhance the safety of the visiting public or staff.
Since February 2015, the City of Bozeman and Gallatin County have been working together to
plan for and develop joint criminal justice facilities at the L&J campus. That effort resulted in a project proposal which included two new structures, a courts building and a law enforcement building, being constructed to the north and south of the existing L&J building. This plan provided for continuing operations of all City and County criminal justice functions during the construction
phase after which time the old L&J would be demolished to provide building access and public
parking. The total project was estimated at $68,300,000 and included the costs of demolition and all necessary site improvements. The project was placed on the November 2016 ballot but did not gain voter approval.

Shortly after the election, the City and County formed a “Next Steps” group to evaluate feedback
received on the bond failure and develop new options to address the still-critical facility needs of the criminal justice system. Many ideas were advanced as to the reasons for the failure of the bond, but one common theme was that cost savings could be realized by reusing all or part of the existing L&J building in the project. The “Next Steps” group agreed to fund a structural analysis of the current L&J building to determine its suitability for remodel and determine estimated costs to bring
it up to current safety codes. Stahly Engineering was hired and completed a Tier 1 Structural Screening (Exhibit A) and more comprehensive Tier 3 Systematic Evaluation and Retrofit Alternatives report found here. A summary of the Tier 1 findings is included in the Law and Justice Center Feasibility Study (Exhibit B).
The County contracted with Thinkone Architects to analyze four scenarios for reuse of the existing structure and determine cost estimates for those options. They are; 1. Construct a new Law Enforcement Center and renovate the existing law enforcement area
of the Law & Justice Center to provide additional courtrooms. Exhibit B Page 12 – Order
of magnitude cost opinion $52,436,675 2. Pursue another bond initiative with the proposed L&J Campus Masterplan scope (New Law Enforcement Center, new Justice Center, and demolish existing L&J) Exhibit B Page
18 – Order of magnitude cost opinion $73,352,529
3. Construct a new Law Enforcement Center and an extensive renovation to the existing L&J to best accommodate judicial services (Not to include space for the Gallatin County Attorney program in the renovation program) Exhibit B Page 21 – Order of magnitude cost
opinion $88,779,241
4. Continue to utilize the existing L&J building with an extensive renovation to best accommodate law enforcement and judicial services Exhibit B Page 27 – Order of magnitude cost opinion $94,296,814
The consultant performed the analyses they were asked to by the County with little input from the City. As such, the study does not represent the spirit of City/County cooperation found in the previous Law and Justice Master Plan work; other than option 2, it is incomplete and does not take into account the needs of City judicial services, particularly Municipal Courts and City
prosecution. In short, the options, while very expensive, provide little benefit to the Municipal
Court and almost no benefit to the City’s prosecution functions. The main value of the report is the careful study of the costs necessary to reinforce the existing building structure to bring it up to current building and life-safety codes. These costs significantly
exceed the cost of new construction and do not provide for adequate space for current or future
operations. Also evident in the analysis is that reuse of the existing structure limits space planning and adjacency options due to existing building envelop, configuration and structural column and beam locations.
209

UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The City was not included in the development of the options studied
in the Law and Justice Center Feasibility Study and City staff does not support the recommendations outlined in the document as they do not address the majority of deficiencies outlined for Bozeman judicial services (courts and prosecution). Additionally, questions remain about how much structural work will need to be done to the entire structure to allow for reuse of any part of it.
ALTERNATIVES: Many alternatives exist including reconsideration of a municipal police and courts facility. FISCAL EFFECTS: The approved FY18 budget does not include any money for further study
or analysis of future options and we have not estimated what those costs might be. To move forward with further development of options, we could allocate money from the City Manager’s contingency fund or return to the Commission with a budget amendment. Attachments:

1 Facility/Structure Description
The current Law and Justice Center was originally built in 1962 as the Holy Rosary Parish High School. The original facility was remodeled in 1979 to
renovate it into the Gallatin County Law and Justice Center. The facility was
again remodeled in 1993 to revamp the existing gym into court rooms and office space for the Bozeman Police Department and the Gallatin County Sherriff’s Department.
The facility is composed of three main areas which were used to develop the study (See Figure 1). Area A is the northern portion of the original main building consisting of offices and a court room. Area B is the south portion of the original main building and contains the main entry, office space, locker rooms and restrooms. Area C is comprised of the original gym which was renovated to add
court rooms and office space for the Police and Sheriff’s Departments.
Figure 1 – Building Areas Area A is constructed of a three-story concrete frame structure with concrete
joists, beams and slabs. The lateral system is a combination of concrete moment frames and concrete frames with masonry infill panels. The original lateral structural system was concrete frames with masonry infill panels, but the later renovations removed a majority of the infill panels, leaving a concrete frame structure. Area B is much like Area A, with the exception that fewer of the
masonry infill panels were removed and a concrete shear wall was added in the
213
Tier 1 Structural Screening Report
3/14/2017 Page 3 of 12 Job Number: 0939-03817
1993 renovation. See Appendix A for drawings indicating the alterations to the original structure.
Area C is comprised of numerous lateral systems. The majority of the original masonry shear wall system in the north and south walls was removed during the 1993 renovation. It was replaced with concrete shear walls at the eastern corners of the building. The renovation also included adding an upper floor
which is laterally supported by light gage steel stud walls with plywood sheathing.
These walls are supported on a rigid concrete deck which is laterally supported by the concrete shear walls and two steel braced frames. Again, see Appendix A for drawings indicating the alterations to the original structure.
The lateral system for Area C in the north-south direction is comprised of glulam
arch moment frames. The frames were repaired and strengthened during the 1993 renovation. 2 ASCE 41-13 Tier 1 Seismic Structural Screening
The purpose of this study is to complete an ASCE 41-13, “Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings”, Tier 1 Structural Screening of the facility and
determine any possible structural seismic deficiencies. The structural screening was completed for the Life Safety (LS) and Immediate Occupancy (IO) Basic Performance Objectives. A Life Safety performance level is defined as the post-earthquake damage state in which a structure has damaged components but retains a margin against the onset of partial or total collapse. The Immediate
Occupancy performance level is defined as the post-earthquake damage state in which a structure remains safe to occupy and essentially retains its pre-earthquake strength and stiffness. The Level of Seismicity for the geographical location is classified as “High
Seismicity”. See Appendix B for the seismic information for this Tier 1 screening.
Area A 2.1
The ASCE41-13 screening checklists were completed for Area A which consisted of the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Basic Configuration Checklist, the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type C1:
Concrete Moment Frames, and the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type C3: Concrete Frames With Infill Masonry Shear Walls. See Appendix C for the completed checklists.
Area B 2.2
The ASCE41-13 screening checklists were completed for Area B which consisted
of the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Basic Configuration Checklist, the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type C1: Concrete Moment Frames, the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type C2: Concrete Shear Walls, and the Life Safety and

Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type C3: Concrete Frames With Infill Masonry Shear Walls. See Appendix C for the completed
checklists.
Area C 2.3
The ASCE41-13 screening checklists were completed for Area A which consisted of the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Basic Configuration Checklist, the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type C2:
Concrete Shear Walls, the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural
Checklists for Building Type S2: Steel Braced Frames, and the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy Structural Checklists for Building Type W2: Wood Frames, Commercial and Industrial. See Appendix C for the completed checklists.
3 Possible Structural Deficiencies
Area A 3.1
The overall condition of Area A is generally good. The building was inspected
and shows little sign of settlement or deterioration. Although the condition of the building is good, Area A has numerous possible deficiencies that will need to be studied further during the Tier 2 Evaluation Phase. The lateral seismic force resisting system is highly deficient and with the past renovations has been
compromised with the removal of the masonry infill panels. The infill panels at
the exterior walls are not continuous due to the “strip windows”, and create a weak story and soft story which are seismically vulnerable. Due to the removal of the masonry infill panels, the structure in the east-west
direction will resist the seismic loads with the concrete frames. The frames were
not designed to resist seismic loads as moment frames and were not detailed in such a manner. A computer model of the frames was analyzed and the results showed that the shear capacity of the frame members was not able to develop the moment capacity at the end of the members. This could lead to a non-ductile
failure that would lead to collapse.
The steel reinforcing in the concrete frames was not detailed adequately to resist the required seismic loads. Therefore numerous steel reinforcing requirements are deficient in the frames.
A summary of the possible deficiencies for the concrete frame lateral system at Area A is as follows:
Possible weak story and soft story
The shear capacity of the frame members is not able to develop the moment capacity at the ends of the members
215
Tier 1 Structural Screening Report
3/14/2017 Page 5 of 12 Job Number: 0939-03817
There is a potential that a strong-beam weak-column exists at the frames
The shear stress demand in the frame columns exceeds the capacity
The column axial stress demand exceeds the capacity
The concrete columns are not adequately doweled into the foundation
Beam reinforcing is detailed inadequately
The column tie spacing is inadequate
The original drawings do not show adequate beam stirrup spacing
Beam-column joints are not adequately reinforced
The secondary components within the system do not have the shear
capacity to develop the flexural strength of the components The lateral system in north-south direction is mainly concrete frames with masonry infill panels. As previously noted, the exterior walls have “strip windows” which create a soft story and weak story. The other possible
deficiencies with the masonry infill panels are as follows:
The shear stress demand in the infill panel walls exceeds the capacity of the walls
The concrete columns are not adequately doweled into the foundation
The secondary components within the system do not have the shear capacity to develop the flexural strength of the components
The wall openings are not adequately reinforced
The infill wall panels do not meet the aspect ratio requirements
Area B 3.2
The overall condition of Area B is also generally good. Although the condition of the building is good, Area B also has numerous possible deficiencies that will need to be studied further during the Tier 2 Evaluation Phase. Area B is very similar to Area A and has the same possible deficiencies, except that less of the masonry infill panels have been removed. A concrete shear wall was also added
in Area B, which also causes a few possible deficiencies. The concrete shear walls that were added create a situation with the concrete frames in which the frames do not have the shear capacity to develop the flexural capacity, similar to the infill panels. Coupling beams do not have adequate
reinforcing over means of egress as well.
Area C 3.3
Area C was also inspected and the overall condition was generally good. Besides the condition, Area C also has numerous possible deficiencies that will
need to be studied further during the Tier 2 Evaluation Phase.
216
Tier 1 Structural Screening Report
3/14/2017 Page 6 of 12 Job Number: 0939-03817
The shear walls which were added in the 1993 renovation are possibly stressed at a level that exceeds their capacity. Due to the main floor being a concrete
diaphragm, a rigid diaphragm analysis should be completed to determine the
loads that are resisted by the concrete shear walls, remaining masonry shear walls, and the steel braced frames. Once the rigid diaphragm analysis is complete, further conclusions can be made as to the demand to capacity ratio of the shear walls, steel braced frames and concrete diaphragm.
The Quick Checks that were completed indicate that the shear walls are possibly over-stressed and that the diaphragm may not be adequate to transfer the load to the shear walls. Also, the secondary components within the system do not have the shear capacity to develop the flexural strength of the components.
The steel braced frames added in the 1993 remodel were also reviewed and are possibly deficient for their column axial strength capacity. The Quick Check shows that the axial stress caused by the gravity loads in the column exceeds 0.1fy. The system also may not meet the redundancy requirements of ASCE 41.
The brace effective net area is also less than the brace gross area.
The lateral loads in the north-south direction are resisted by glulam moment-frame arches. Although this lateral resisting system is not recognized by the ASCE 7-10 or ASCE 41, the NEHRP 2009 Recommended Seismic Provisions
does include a Resource Paper that addresses the system. The paper “Special
Requirements for the Seismic Design of Structural Glued Laminated Timber Arch Members and Their Connections in Three-Hinge Arch Systems” addresses the system, which will need further analysis to determine if there are any possible deficiencies. The paper is included in Appendix E.
4 Life Safety vs. Immediate Occupancy
The checklists for the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy levels of
performance were completed. Based on a comparison of the checklists, there is
a minimal difference in possible deficiencies. For the concrete frames, the column shear stress check is not completed at the Life Safety level but is possibly deficient at the Immediate Occupancy level.
The only difference between the LS and IO levels for the steel braced frames is
that the net area of the frame braces needs to be equivalent to the brace effective area, which is a deficiency for the existing frames. It should be noted, although there may be minimal differences between the LS
and IO performance levels for the structural system, a screening for possible
deficiencies of the non-structural systems has not been completed. There may be significant cost impacts to take the non-structural systems from the LS level to the IO level.
217
Tier 1 Structural Screening Report
3/14/2017 Page 7 of 12 Job Number: 0939-03817
5 General Conclusions and Recommendations
The general condition of the building is good. In previous studies, the floor system was reviewed and was determined that it had a capacity of 50 PSF for the allowable floor live load, which is consistent with the use of the facility. Although the gravity system appears adequate, the seismic lateral system has
numerous possible deficiencies.
The possible deficiencies identified in this report should be evaluated per the ASCE 41-13 Tier 2 Deficiency-Based Evaluation. As part of the Tier 2 evaluation, a rigid diaphragm analysis of Area C should be completed to
determine lateral load demands for the masonry shear walls, concrete shear
walls and steel braced frames. Tier 2 Deficiency-Based Retrofit Requirements should be identified to assist in the determination of the retrofit requirements and cost estimate. It is also
recommended that a Tier 1 Screening and a Tier 2 Deficiency-Based Evaluation
be completed for the non-structural systems for the Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy performance levels.

Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study Executive Summary
Project Introduction
Gallatin County and the City of Bozeman are proactively pursuing combined efforts to improve the law
enforcement and judicial services to the local residents. As growing communities, the capacity of the existing
Law and Justice Center (L&J) is greatly exceeded. This is limiting the ability to provide adequate public service.
In addition, as the L&J facility was initially constructed as a high school, and adaptively reused for law
enforcement and judicial functions, there are operational and functional limitations.
A comprehensive solution of the L&J Campus Masterplan was completed by our office, Gallatin County and
the City of Bozeman in 2016. A bond initiative for this scope was unsuccessful, resulting in further discussion and
strategies for success. This discussion from the L&J “Next Steps Committee” presented four option for
consideration. This feasibility study is further evaluation and considerations of the four options. The four options
are;
1. Construct a new Law Enforcement Center and renovate the existing law enforcement area of the Law &
Justice Center to provide additional courtrooms.
2. Pursue another bond initiative with the proposed L&J Campus Masterplan scope (New Law Enforcement
Center, new Justice Center, and demolish the existing L&J)
3. Construct a new Law Enforcement Center and an extensive renovation to the existing L&J to best
accommodate judicial services. (Not to include space for the Gallatin County Attorney program in the
renovation program.)
4. Continue to utilize the existing L&J building with an extensive renovation to best accommodate law
enforcement and judicial services.
The focus on this feasibility study is the ability to reuse the existing Law and Justice Center facility in a capacity
to serve to long term law enforcement and judicial needs. Currently, the existing building square footage is
beyond the carrying capacity for law enforcement and judicial program needs. In perspective, the existing
L&J provides approximately 57,000 net square feet of space, the combined program space for law
enforcement and judicial needs is approximately 160,000 net square feet. With an excess off 100,000 net
square feet of additional space needed, the ability of the existing building to provide for complete program
needs is limited.
Gallatin County and/or the City of Bozeman have completed numerous studies and space planning needs
assessments. In an effort to focus on the current “next steps,” this feasibility study does not disregard the finding
of the past studies, rather focusing on the feasibility of utilizing the existing L&J Center. Recently Gallatin County
has completed a structural study (Tier 1, and Tier 2/3) as prepared Stahly Engineering & Associates, Inc. (SEA)
documenting the existing structural conditions, and deficiencies. The findings of this report is noted in the
feasibility study.
This feasibility report notes a distinction between Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy requirements which
are indicated in the SEA Tier 1 and Tier 3 Structural Reports. These definitions are derived from the seismic
design performance levels in the International Building Codes, which references the American Society of Civil
Engineers (ASCE-7 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures). The
definitions are summarized as follows:
Life Safety: The building sustains substantial damage in an earthquake, but remains stable and with significant
reserve capacity. Occupants have an opportunity to egress the structure. Nonstructural elements remain
secured to the structure.
229
page 5
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study Immediate Occupancy: The building remains essentially elastic in an earthquake, with most or all of its strength
and stiffness intact. The building can be occupied immediately after the earthquake, even though minor
repairs may be necessary.
Furthermore the International Building Codes classify buildings per an Occupancy Category, whereas police
stations (law enforcement) are classified as essential facilities. In application to the L&J, the judicial program is
not an essential facility and is required to comply with the Life Safety structural performance level. The law
enforcement program is an essential facility and must comply with the Immediate Occupancy performance
level. In consideration of the L&J, the primary challenge for structural rehabilitation is twofold. First, all
occupants and staff must be relocated from the facility. Secondly, existing finishes will be required to be
removed to access the structural elements for the necessary structural rehabilitation. With the scope of
structural rehabilitation, the scope of removal and demolition of existing finishes will be extensive. From a
structural perspective the rehabilitation performance level increase from Life Safety to Immediate Occupancy
consists of increased safety factors on structural loads and redundancy in connections. As such, there is an
increase in scope of work and cost for the Immediate Occupancy performance level. This is indicated in the
Order of Magnitude Cost Opinions and in the SEA Tier 3 Structural Report.
Preliminary rough order of magnitude cost opinions are included for each option to grasp the financial scope.
Costs were primarily derived from two sources for. For items related to new construction or items consistent with
the L&J Masterplan, costs were derived from estimated prepared by Langlas and Associates adjusted with cost
escalation to current market trends. Cost for structural rehabilitation are derived from the SEA Tier 3 structural
report. The cost opinions identify hard costs (construction costs) and soft costs (services and other Owner
associated costs.) In an effort for consistency among the options studied, the soft costs are derived from the
L&J Masterplan Design Development Project Cost Tracking model. This includes professional services, furniture,
and equipment. For areas with reduced square footage of space, the soft costs are pro-rated accordingly.
Additional line items are provided for cost associated with temporary office space and necessary relocation
expenses. The costs for temporary office space are consistent with current market rates, however these costs
are carried consistently for each option in an effort for an equal comparison.

Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study Project Process
The feasibility study is an effort to provide information on the direction of the Law & Justice campus. We
emphasize this is not a detailed design effort to validate any of the options presented. Each option evaluates
the following considerations:
1. Campus Site Consideration
2. Building Plan Considerations
3. Operational Considerations
4. Construction Considerations
5. Order of Magnitude Cost Opinion
Each consideration identifies impacts in an effort to guide further discussion on the merit of each option, and
does not intend to suggest nor recommend a solution or preferred option.
Project Drivers
The existing conditions of the site present limited site usage and access. Whereas this study does not go in
depth of the existing site conditions (utilities, etc.), with the understanding that all members of the committee
are familiar with the site. Existing built conditions of the site include the L&J, the District Court 3, the Detention
Center, the Re-Entry facility, and the under construction Storage Facility. For reference, the following is a site
aerial image of the existing site;
Existing L&J Campus Site Aerial
231
page 7
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study In addition, the existing L&J Center presents limited usage and access. The facility was initially constructed as
Holy Rosary Parish High School in 1962. The west portion of the building consists of three levels, the east portion
(originally the gymnasium) consists of two levels with a storage platform. In total the building offers
approximately 57,000 gross square foot. The building is on a split level configuration, which challenges site
access and accessibility. Recent structural report (Tier 1, and Tier 2/3) completed by Stahly Engineering &
Associates, Inc. (SEA,) identify the existing structural condition and deficiencies. Per the building code, any
renovation of the existing building will require structural rehabilitation, see Appendix A, for IECC Compliance
Methods – L&J Structural Upgrades prepared by SEA.
Beyond the square footage needs assessment, several key drivers for effective judicial and law enforcement
needs are critical for effective operations. Key considerations are as follows:
Site Drivers
Judicial
1. Public entry and wayfinding.
2. Dedicated public, unsecure parking area.
3. Dedicated, secure staff parking areas.
4. Adjacency to Detention Center for in-custody transport.
Law Enforcement

Expanding on number 7 above, the ability and need to relocate all staff from the existing L&J in a temporary
location is a significant undertaking for Gallatin County and the City of Bozeman to consider and pursue. The
availability of office space for relocated space will require extensive research and sequencing. The ability to
locate space to serve as courtrooms is likely the greater challenge. These are large spaces with very specific
operational and functional needs for maintaining privacy and judicial services. A remote location for a
courtoom from the Detention Center will require additional logistic and transportation efforts. In addition, the
ability to communicate and inform to the public where spaces are temporarily relocated will likely require a
public relationship effort. Options or considerations may be utilizing other Gallatin County or City of Bozeman
spaces, it is speculative which facilities may support this. As such, much further strategic planning is necessary
for any temporary program relocations.

Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study
I. Option 1
A. Construct a new Law Enforcement Center and renovate the existing law
enforcement area of the Law & Justice Center to provide additional courtrooms.
The intent of option 1 is to build a new Law Enforcement Center. Upon completion and occupancy the area
currently occupied by the law enforcement team (Bozeman Police Department and Gallatin County Sheriff’s
Office) in the existing L&J will be renovated to provide additional courtrooms for judicial needs.
B. Campus Site Considerations
1. Law Enforcement Center Location A.
With the existing site conditions, the campus offer two locations to construct a new Law Enforcement Center.
One location is to the south of the existing Law and Justice Center. This is the original location as proposed in
the Law and Justice Masterplan. With existing location of the L&J and the Storage Facility, the site circulation
becomes constrained. A new vehicular circulation drive must be provided to connect Dickerson Street and
South 16th Avenue. In addition, a circulation drive must connect traffic from Dickerson Street and South 16th
Avenue to the front entry of the Detention Center to maintain public access to the Detention Center. A
redundant drive configuration utilizes valuable site space that limits site area for building program and site
parking. An access drive to the south limits the Law Enforcement secure fleet parking, which can be
recaptured with the full build-out of the L&J Masterplan.
Option 1 – Site Plan Diagram – Law Enforcement Center Location A
237
page 13
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study 2. Law Enforcement Center Location B
The other location for new Law Enforcement Center is to the north of the existing Law and Justice Center. With
constrained conditions, it is possible for the site to host the Law Enforcement Center in this location. It is likely
the Law Enforcement Center will be required to be multi-story in an effort to provide adequate site parking and
access. In and optimal configurations, a number of law enforcement programs spaces have direct access to
site components. This includes pubic entry and parking, staff entry with secure parking and direct access to
secure parking for response, staff access from secure parking to interview rooms, staff access from secure
parking for evidence drop-off, and public access for evidentiary viewing. As such, limited site constraints may
drive a multi-story configuration, which limits optimal law enforcement configurations. Furthermore, as
identified in the Campus Masterplan, this location is preferred for the judicial program as the Detention Center
is configured to allow transport of in-custody from the west side of the Detention Center.
Option 1 – Site Plan Diagram – Law Enforcement Center Location B
238
page 14
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study C. Building Floor Plan Considerations
The current area occupied by the Law Enforcement Team is approx. 10,000 square feet, this includes the south
staff entry and the shared records area. The program area to relocate to this space will require further
discussion with the building committee and user groups, particularly since the District Court, Justice Court and
Municipal Court all need additional space. As a test fit, the space can accommodate the Justice Court
functions with a program space need of approx. 11,000 square feet. The space can accommodate the
Municipal Court functions with a program space need of approx. 10,500 square feet. Or the space can
provide additional District Court functions.
It is noted that additional District Court functions may have the greatest need due to case load. In the
renovation scope, the space can accommodate two new District Courtrooms, with necessary judicial support
spaces behind the courtrooms and public service space in front of the courtrooms. See the concept
renovation diagram on the following page.
With the intent to relocate the law enforcement program from the L&J and additional, approximately 1,400
square feet of space is available for renovation as well. This is space is located in the lower level of the L&J that
is currently utilized for locker rooms and coroner functions. As this space does not provide exterior windows it is
anticipated this space is repurposed to building support spaces rather than office functions.
In addition, with the completion of the Gallatin County Storage Facility, approximately 1,350 square feet of
space can be renovated for office space. This space that is currently utilized for storage will become available
as the storage will be relocated to the Gallatin County Storage Facility. The space is located on the lower level
adjacent to the Youth Court Services program. The program needs for this space will require further discussion
for the greatest need. Being directly adjacent to Youth Court Services, the space is ideal for the additional
needed space for Youth Court Services.
Security screening of public is a primary driver for judicial needs. Security screening is proposed to be provided
by a vestibule between the existing L&J and the existing District Court 3 building. A schematic design of this
vestibule is completed and is intended to be part of the renovation scope for Option 1.
A limitation of the existing L&J Law Enforcement space is the existing structural system layout. Interior columns
are spaced on an approx. 15’-0” grid on the interior and 30’-0” grid on the exterior. The program area (six juror
court standard) for a Justice or Municipal courtroom is 1,700 square feet, this equals to a courtroom dimension
of approx. 40’-0” x 42’-0”. A District Court program area is 1,800 square feet (thirteen juror court standard)
which equates to a courtroom dimension of 40’-0” x 45’-0”. As such, the existing interior column spacing will
drive the courtroom configuration and will likely result in interior columns within the courtroom.
Due to the existing configuration an effort to provide in-custody transport to and from the Detention Center is
challenging. An addition is an option to separate public circulation from in-custody circulation. This option, as
illustrated below, does not separate in-custody circulation with staff circulation, in addition, transport to and
from the Detention Center is likely to entail an exterior circulation, similar to the existing scenario.
It is required that any alterations in the repurposed area of the existing L&J must be structurally rehabilitated to
Life Safety requirements. Furthermore, as the original construction has been impacted through the lifespan of
the building the entire existing L&J must be improved to Life Safety requirements. See Appendix D for further
evaluation by Stahly Engineering & Associates, Inc. Furthermore, with the necessary rehabilitation to Life Safety
requirements, strong consideration to upgrade to Immediate Occupancy structural rehabilitation must be
discussed.

Option 1 – Main Level Plan Diagram – Renovation of existing Law Enforcement Area
240
page 16
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study D. Operational Considerations
1. Site Operations
Construction on the site presents challenges to accommodate the Law Enforcement Center, the related site
improvements and necessary construction staging. Further complication is the necessary site circulation that
must be maintained to accommodate public traffic, vehicular and pedestrian, to the existing L&J and the
existing Detention Center. Site location A complicates the site circulation with the existing L&J to remain in
place. Site location B allows the south area of the site to better accommodate vehicular and pedestrian
circulation.
2. Building Operations
Construction in the existing L&J facility will entail major inconveniences to try to maintain any occupied spaces.
With an alteration scope on the main level, construction noise, dust and related tasks will have a direct impact
on the lower level space currently occupied by the Municipal Court and Justice Court. In addition, the
immediate adjacent space on all levels will be impacted with the same construction activity.
Structural rehabilitation is heavy construction that will entail significant demolition and reconstruction. With the
scope of the work, rehabilitation to the existing mechanical and electrical systems are anticipated, involving
shutdowns of services. Of particular note is the fire alarm system. As a life safety system, it is typical for any
significant shutdown of a fire alarm system for a building to be evacuated, if occupancy cannot be evacuated
approved alternative fire alarm system must be in place acceptable to the Fire Chief, this can constitute a full
time continuous fire watch. As such, it is recommended for all occupants to be relocated from the building
during construction activities.
E. Construction Considerations
Repurposing the existing law enforcement space of the L&J will require significant renovation. This will require
architectural space reconfiguration and finishes. Structural rehabilitation is required in the repurposed law
enforcement area, and in the remaining existing areas as the structure has been compromised with past
alterations, see the SEA reports for further description. Mechanical and electrical systems will require
improvements, the scope of these improvements will need further study. With the age of the existing systems
and current building code requirements, specifically the need for ventilation air, it is anticipated that systems
will need to be improved or replaced due to insufficient existing capacity and age of equipment.
Below is a diagram depicting the structural rehabilitation scope, while this area is in good condition, the
structural capacity is deficient, particularly in the lateral (seismic) performance. Structural rehabilitation consists
of reinforcement to the existing glulam arches and lateral bracing for the primary structure and the storage
mezzanine.
Structural rehabilitation in the remaining portion of the L&J (existing courtrooms) will consist of lateral bracing or
shear walls and strengthening of existing columns and beams. To accomplish this structural rehabilitation
existing spaces will require selective demolition to access the structural components and installation or
replacement of finishes once complete. New lateral reinforcement elements of bracing and shear walls will
require extensive review as this may affect the current space design. See Option 3 for plan diagrams illustrating
the necessary structural rehabilitation scope of work in the existing space to remain.

A. Pursue another bond initiative with the proposed L&J Campus Masterplan scope
(New Law Enforcement Center, new Justice Center, and demolish the existing L&J)
The intent of this option is to essentially take another bond initiative for the complete campus masterplan
project. With recent developments the masterplan will be adjusted accordingly. The (under construction)
Gallatin County Storage Facility occupies the southwest corner of the site. With program space in the Storage
Facility, the Law Enforcement building program of vehicle storage area can be reduced. As presented with
other options, the Gallatin County Attorney space can be maintained at the Guenther Memorial Center.
B. Campus Site Considerations
The addition of the Gallatin County Storage Facility in the southwest corner of the site will reduce the public
parking capacity. The location does accommodate the secure fleet vehicle parking area, with a northern
adjustment to the west ingress/egress location. The reduction of the vehicle storage area from the proposed
Law Enforcement Center allows for additional site space/future expansion to the secondary program of the
Law Enforcement Center, such as evidence storage.

As noted above, the reduction of the vehicle storage area from the proposed Law Enforcement Center allows
for additional site space/future expansion to the secondary program of the Law Enforcement Center, such as
evidence storage.
2. Justice Center
With the construction of the Gallatin County Storage Facility, the high density storage scope proposed for the
Justice Center is intended to be accommodated in the Storage Facility. See the basement area in the
diagram below, logically the space is likely to be built as part of the Justice Center, the space can be utilized
as unfinished storage space, rather than finished space, with the fitment scope of high-density storage.

In addition, per the direction of Gallatin County a scope reduction to the Justice Center for consideration is for
the Gallatin County Attorney program to remain in the Guenther Memorial Center. See the above diagram,
indicating the fourth level program area of the Gallatin County Attorney space as proposed for the Justice
Center.
D. Operational Considerations
1. Site Operations
Completion of the masterplan will require coordination of public wayfinding and construction activities during
the construction duration. Once complete, the masterplan will provide a logical and efficient operation to the
L&J campus.
2. Building Operations
All occupants of the existing L&J can remain in place and operational during the construction of the proposed
Law Enforcement Center and the Justice Center. It is noted, as proposed with the campus masterplan, the
existing District Court 3 facility must be removed from the site. Once the Law Enforcement Center and Justice
Center are complete, the occupants of the existing L&J can relocate to allow demolition of the existing L&J.
E. Construction Considerations
The existing L&J is proposed to be demolished. This will occur after all occupants have relocated to new
facilities. Site staging and phasing will require a temporary inconvenience during campus build-out.

attorney in the renovation program.
The intent of option 3 is to build a new Law Enforcement Center, the existing L&J will be extensively renovated
to provide functional, secure public circulation, secure staff circulation, and secure in-custody circulation. As
noted above the renovation scope does not provide program space for the County Attorney or the City
Attorney.
B. Campus Site Considerations
1. Law Enforcement Center Location A – South of existing Law and Justice Center
As with Option 1, with the existing site conditions, the campus offer two locations to construct a new Law
Enforcement Center. One location is to the south of the existing L&J, this location is as proposed in the L&J
Campus Masterplan. With existing location of the L&J and the Storage Facility, the site circulation becomes
very confined. A new vehicular circulation drive must be provided to connect Dickerson Street and South 16th
Avenue. In addition, a circulation drive must connect traffic from Dickerson Street and South 16th Avenue to
the front entry of the Detention Center. A redundant drive configuration utilizes valuable site space that limits
site area for building program and site parking.
Option 3 – Site Plan Diagram – Law Enforcement Center Location A
246

The other location for new Law Enforcement Center is to the north of the existing Law and Justice Center. With
constrained conditions, it is possible for the site to host the Law Enforcement Center in this location. It is likely
the Law Enforcement Center will be required to be multi-story in an effort to provide adequate site parking and
access. As identified in the Campus Masterplan, this location is preferred for the judicial program as the
Detention Center is configured to allow transport of in-custody from the west side of the Detention Center.

Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study C. Building Plan Considerations (see plan diagrams on previous page)
Due to the overall size of the building and the corresponding square foot per floor level, the wood structure
area of the existing L&J is proposed to be removed as the area exceeds the allowable area for a wood
structure per the International Building Code. With removal of this area the extensive renovation for judicial
needs is accommodate as a three level scheme to correspond with the existing L&J level configuration. To
accommodate the program square footage and addition is proposed on the north end and south end of the
existing L&J Center.
The program area is conceptually indicated with the proposed floor levels:
Lower Level:
1. Secure in-custody transport corridor
2. Building support
3. Storage
4. Youth Court Services
5. Victims Services
6. City Attorney
Main Level:
1. Municipal Courtrooms (total of 3, one in exist L&J space with interior columns in courtroom)
2. Municipal Clerks
3. Municipal Judicial Support Spaces (Judge’s Office, Jury Room, etc.)
4. District Court Clerk
5. Hearing Rooms (Two)
6. District Courtroom (Large)
7. District Court Judicial Support Spaces
8. Entry & Security Screening Vestibule
9. Jury Assembly
Upper Level:
1. Justice Court (Two Courtrooms)
2. Justice Clerks
3. Justice Court Judicial Support Spaces
4. Three District Courtrooms (Standard Size)
5. District Court Judicial Support Spaces.
D. Operational Considerations
1. Site Operations
Construction on the site presents challenges to accommodate any new Law Enforcement Center, the related
site improvements and necessary construction staging. Further complication is the necessary site circulation
that must be maintained to accommodate public traffic, vehicular and pedestrian, to the existing L&J and the
existing Detention Center. Site location A complicates the site circulation with the existing L&J to remain in
place. Site location B allows the south area of the site to accommodate vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
2. Building Operations
Construction in the existing L&J facility will entail major inconveniences to try to maintain any occupied spaces.
With an extensive alteration scope on all levels, construction noise, dust and related tasks will have a direct
249
page 25
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study impact to any adjacent space. Structural rehabilitation is heavy construction that will entail significant
demolition and reconstruction. With the scope of the work, rehabilitation to the existing mechanical and
electrical systems are anticipated, involving shutdowns of services. Of particular note is the fire alarm system.
As such, it is advised for all occupants to be relocated from the building during construction activities.
E. Construction Considerations
To accommodate the complete law enforcement and judicial program, the existing L&J will require a
significant addition to meet the program square footage. In addition, the existing L&J will require a significant
renovation scope to provide a functional space for the program. Further compounding the existing space is
the wood framed space of the existing law enforcement area. To meet the building code allowable floor area
requirements for the complete program, the building is required to be built from non-combustible material, or a
significant fire wall is constructed to allow the existing to remain as a separate building. Option A proposes a
fire wall scenario, while Option B proposes the demolition of the wood framed area and replacement with a
new addition. Complete renovation of the existing mechanical and electrical systems are anticipated.
Structural rehabilitation is required throughout the existing L&J to meet Life Safety standards. This entails
structural strengthening of the existing structural system and new structural element to provide for deficient
lateral load capacity. To complete the structural strengthening, all the exiting structural members will need to
be exposed to provide new strengthening components. As outlined in the SEA Tier 3 report, this entails
structural jacketing or marrying another structural member to the existing. To complete the lateral
strengthening, this sill require new shear walls, braced frames or moment frames. The braced frames can be
located on the exterior and new interior shear walls and braced frames will hinder open spaces on the interior
of the building. See the below plan diagrams depicting the structural rehabilitation scope. Please see the Tier
3 structural report for images depicting examples of structural jacketing, braced frames, and moment frames
that are necessary occur at the existing L&J.

Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study IV. Option 4
A. Continue to utilize the existing L&J building with an extensive renovation to best
accommodate law enforcement and judicial services.
With the combined space needs of approx. 158,000 square feet for law enforcement and judicial space, it is
apparent the existing L&J with approx. 57,000 square feet of space cannot accommodate the space needs
without an addition. With the intent of Option 3 proposing a new Law Enforcement Center with extensive
renovation of the existing renovation for judicial services, Option 4 proposes extensive renovation of the existing
L&J for law enforcement needs with an addition for judicial needs.
B. Campus Site Considerations
A major driver of the campus configuration is the adjacency of the existing Detention Center and judicial
courtrooms to accommodate in-custody circulation. For efficiency and safety of staff the closet travel path
from a courtroom to the existing Detention Center is paramount. With this fundamental driver, the optimal
location for judicial services in on the northwest corner of the campus as proposed in the campus masterplan.
Option 4 – Site Plan Diagram
252
page 28
Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study C. Building Plan Considerations (see floor level diagrams below and on following page)
The existing split level configuration of the Law and Justice Center hinders an open office concept for
interagency collaboration. It is likely Sheriff’s functions will be separated, possibly on different levels from Police
functions. Further compounding the limitation of the split level configuration are Law Enforcement program
spaces that are ideally located at grade access. These spaces include the Vehicle Evidence Exam, Motor/Bike
Patrol, and K-9 unit. As such, these spaces are not included in the conceptual program. These can be
accommodated with an addition to the existing building.
The program area is conceptually indicated with the proposed floor levels:
Lower Level:
1. Police Department (Admin., Investigations, Patrol & Support Services)
2. SRT/Armory
3. Fitness
4. Training Room
5. Locker Rooms

D. Operational Considerations
1. Site Operations
Construction on the northwest area of the site presents limited disruption to the campus functionality. The
significant operational impact is that the existing District Court 3 building must be removed from the site to allow
adequate site area for an addition. Access to the detention Center sallyport will need to be rerouted around
the east, a slight inconvenience from the established access from the west. The west approach to the sallyport
is intended to be maintained and improved with the proposed addition. Beyond the coordination with
construction activity, the remainder of the site can function as is.

Construction in the existing L&J facility will entail major inconveniences to try to maintain any occupied spaces.
With an extensive alteration scope on all levels, construction noise, dust and related tasks will have a direct
impact to any adjacent space. Structural rehabilitation is heavy construction that will entail significant
demolition and reconstruction. With the scope of the work, rehabilitation to the existing mechanical and
electrical systems are anticipated, involving shutdowns of services. Of particular note is the fire alarm system.
As such, it is advised for all occupants to be relocated from the building during construction activities.
E. Construction Considerations
To accommodate the complete law enforcement and judicial program, the existing L&J will require a
significant addition to meet the program square footage. In addition, the existing L&J will require a significant
renovation scope to provide a functional space for the program. Complete renovation of the existing
mechanical and electrical systems are anticipated.
Structural rehabilitation is required throughout the existing L&J to meet Immediate Occupancy (essential
facility) standards. This entails structural strengthening of the existing structural system and new structural
element to provide for deficient lateral load capacity. See the structural plan diagrams in Option 1 and Option
3 illustrating the structural rehabilitation scope.

Gallatin County | City of Bozeman Law & Justice Center Feasibility Study V. Conclusions and Recommendations
In summary and an initial evaluation of the options, Option 1 and 2 provide an economical solution to serve
law enforcement and judicial needs; limited judicial needs in the case of Option 1. It is important to note that
Option 1 does not provide all the program space, as such it is reasonable to anticipate additional capital will
be necessary to satisfy the program needs at a future date.
In regard to the existing building condition, the recent structural study completed by SEA reaffirms the structural
deficiencies of the facility. Any long term use of the facility will require structural rehabilitation. In evaluation of
the options and the building code, complete structural rehabilitation is required for structural rehabilitation. The
building code provides alternative methods to determine structural compliance of existing buildings. One
criteria that is consistent among all structural compliance methods is the building must be evaluated with all
past effects as the result of any additions or alterations completed since the original construction. This is
significant in that a number of past alterations have compromised with the removal and/or reduced capacity
of structural elements to make the building structurally deficient. For further code information, please see
Appendix A in regard the compliance methods, and Appendix F, for application of the compliance methods
to Option 1.
In our experience, the effort for structural rehabilitation is limited to restoration projects where the building has
historical significance and has not received numerous renovations in the past that have diminished the original
historical significance or structural performance.
We note that the level of detail in this feasibility study is not a detailed design, rather a high level conceptual

RE: IEBC Compliance Methods – L&J Structural Upgrades The 2012 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) (currently adopted by the State of Montana
and the City of Bozeman) allows for some “flexibility by allowing the use of alternative approaches to achieve compliance for minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and welfare as they are affected by the repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition and
relocation of existing buildings.” This is done through the selection and use of one of three compliance methods. The compliance methods are the Prescriptive compliance method, the Work Area compliance method and the Performance compliance method.
Prescriptive Compliance Method – Alterations (IEBC Section 403)
Existing structural elements carrying gravity load (403.3) – any member where an alteration causes an increase in design gravity load of more than 5% shall be
strengthened, supplemented, replaced or otherwise altered to carry the required gravity loads per the current International Building Code (IBC). Any alteration which decreases the capacity of a member shall be shown to have the capacity to resist gravity loads required by the current IBC.
Existing structural elements carrying lateral load (403.4) – where the alteration increases design lateral loads in accordance with Section 1609 and 1613 of the IBC (wind and earthquake loads), or where the alteration results in a structural irregularity per ASCE 7, or where the alteration decreases the capacity, the structure of the altered building shall be shown to meet Sections 1609 and 1613 of the IBC.
o Exception: Any existing lateral load-carrying element whose demand-capacity ratio does not increase by more than 10% may remain unaltered. This exception shall account for the cumulative effects of additions and alterations since original construction.
This compliance method would require some retrofitting of the gravity system and generally a complete retrofit of the lateral system for wind and earthquake loads per the current IBC.
Work Area Compliance Method – Alterations (IEBC Section 503) Alterations completed under the Work Area compliance method are classified as Alteration Level
1, 2 or 3.
Alteration Level 1 - the removal and replacement or the covering of existing materials,
elements, equipment, or fixtures using new materials, elements, equipment, or fixtures that serve the same purpose.
Alteration Level 2 – the reconfiguration of space, the addition or elimination of any door or window, the reconfiguration or extension of any system, or the installation of any additional equipment.
Alteration Level 3 – applies where the work area exceeds 50% of the aggregate area of the building.
This project will most likely qualify as a Level 3 alteration.

Alteration Level 3 (IEBC Ch. 9)
o Existing structural elements carrying gravity load (907.3) - any member where an alteration causes an increase in design gravity load of more than 5% shall be strengthened, supplemented, replaced or otherwise altered to carry the required gravity loads per the current International Building Code (IBC). Any alteration which decreases the capacity of a member shall be shown to have the capacity to
resist gravity loads required by the current IBC.
o Existing structural elements carrying lateral load (907.4) – all existing elements of the lateral force-resisting system shall comply with the following:
An engineering evaluation and analysis that establishes the structural adequacy of the altered structure shall be prepared by a registered design professional and submitted to the Code Official.
Where more than 30% of the total floor and roof areas of the building or structure have been or are proposed to be involved in structural alteration within a five-year period, the evaluation and analysis shall demonstrate that
the altered building or structure complies with the IBC for wind loading and with reduced IBC-level seismic forces. The areas to be counted toward the 30% shall be those areas tributary to the vertical load-carrying components, such as joists, beams, columns, walls and other structural components that have been or will be removed, added or altered. This compliance method would require some retrofitting of the gravity system and generally a complete retrofit of the lateral system for wind and reduced earthquake loads per the current IBC.
Performance Compliance Method – Alterations (IEBC Section 503) An existing building or portion thereof that does not comply with the requirements of the IEBC and
IBC for new construction shall not be altered or repaired in such a manner that results in the building being less safe than such building is currently. If, in the alteration, the current level of safety is to be reduced, the portion altered shall conform to the IEBC.
The building owner shall cause the existing building to be investigated and evaluated. The owner shall have a structural analysis of the existing building made to determine adequacy of structural
systems for the proposed alteration. The analysis shall demonstrate that the building with the work completed is capable of resisting the loads specified in Chapter 16 of the IBC.
This compliance method would require some retrofitting of the gravity system and generally a complete retrofit of the lateral system for wind and earthquake loads per the current IBC. Conclusion Depending on the level of alteration, there is a wide range of possible structural retrofitting that would need to be completed. Most likely, with the level of alterations discussed and the previous alterations to the original building, a complete retrofit of the lateral system would need to be completed. In this case, the most lenient compliance method would be the Work Area compliance method utilizing reduced IBC seismic loads. This would still require a significant retrofit to the building.

RE: Law and Justice Center – Option 1
General
Area A and Area B have a separation of 1” and are supported on shared footings. The separation was defined
as an expansion joint on the original construction drawings. The 1” separation is inadequate for seismic
purposes and it should not be considered as a seismic separation.
Area B and Area C (Law Enforcement) are seismically connected. Therefore the entire building should be
considered seismically connected.
Prescriptive Compliance Method
Overall
Per Section 403 “Alterations”, “where the alteration decreases the capacity of any existing lateral
load‐carrying structural element, the structure of the altered building shall be shown to meet the
requirements of Sections 1609 and 1613 (wind and seismic) of the IBC. Also, “comparisons of demand‐
capacity ratios and calculations of design lateral loads, forces and capacities shall account for the cumulative
effects of additions and alterations since original construction”.
Existing Law Enforcement
Per IEBC Section 407 “Change of Occupancy”, “when a change of occupancy results in a structure
being reclassified to a higher risk category, the structure shall conform to the seismic requirements for a new
structure of the higher risk category”.
Therefore, the alterations classified under this method would require that the entire building meet the lateral
requirements of Chapter 16 of the IBC.
Classification of Work Method
If all renovations since original construction are considered, then the area of the building impacted is
well over 50%. If only the area for Option 1 is considered (~10,000 SF), then the work area is approximately
18%.
Per Section 807.5 for “Existing structural elements resisting lateral loads” for Alteration Level 2, “comparisons
of demand‐capacity ratios and calculations of design lateral loads, forces and capacities shall account for the
cumulative effects of additions and alterations since original construction”. Because the alterations since
original construction must be considered, over 50% of the structure has been impacted and therefore
Alteration Level 3 should be used. This would require that lateral structural system and its elements shall
meet the current wind provisions of the International Building Code (IBC) and the reduced IBC‐level seismic
forces.
Performance Compliance Method
Per IEBC Section 1401.4.1 “Structural Analysis”, “the owner shall have a structural analysis of the
existing building made to determine adequacy of structural systems for the proposed alteration, addition or
269
Page | 2
change of occupancy. The analysis shall demonstrate that the building with the work completed is capable of
resisting the loads specified in Chapter 16 of the IBC.” Due to the analysis completed previously, it is
apparent that building will not meet these requirements.
Summary
Based on the requirements of the IEBC, and considering the public occupancy for this building, the
level of alterations for this project (and those since original construction) requires that the entire structure be
retrofitted to meet the wind and seismic requirements. Sincerely, Stahly Engineering & Associates
