I have remained in touch with FEMA during this entire process and have continued to file reports with them in order to still be eligible for funding. FEMA had originally determined the rink to be more than 50%damaged and was eligible for rebuild. forwarded them the I & E report and FEMA called me to let me know if we wish to rebuild on the same footprint, up to code---FEMA will pay for approximately 75% of this project after insurance proceeds. If the town wishes to rebuild on the same footprint and do additional improvements, other than just bringing it up to code —this would require a different process and the town would be responsible for the improvements and FEMA would pay for the new project as far as "Up to code". want to stress that the town needs to have all the facts including FEMA funds before making any final decisions and would like to suggest a face to face meeting with FEMA and all the representatives you believe should be there.

Metropolis Rink RenovationlRestoration
Investigation and Evaluation Report
Canton, MA
Executive Summary
Background
The purpose of this Investigation and Evaluation Report was to determine the condition of the currently closed
Metropolis Rink, identify the potential for repairs and renovation, and establish a budget for the repairs and renovation.
BH+A Inc. JML Engineering (Structural Engineering), C. A. Crowley Engineering Inc. (Mechanical Systems), RECCO
Engineering (Ice Rink Systems), and Universal Environmental Consultants (Hazardous Materials) investigated the
existing conditions of the Metropolis Rink.
Findings
Roof Structure
• The roof of the rink partially collapsed on February 28, 2015. The remaining roof trusses have been checked
against the current State Building Code for snow load. All of the trusses are greatly overstressed, and the
workmanship for fabricating the trusses was substandard. All of the roof trusses and their supporting
columns have to be replaced.
• The building foundations appear sound and can be re-used to support new structural columns and roof
trusses. Hazardous materials in the damp-proofing of the foundations do not need to be removed if the
existing foundations remain in place.
Rink Equipment
• The rink refrigeration equipment was inspected and tested to determine its condition. This report did not rely
solely on a visual inspection.
• The rink refrigeration system comprising two chillers, pumps and a cooling tower, should be replaced
completely. One chiller was installed in 1998 and the second non-functional chiller appears to be the original
(1971). The cooling tower is believed to have been installed in 1998 and is in poor condition and cannot be
repaired. Two pumps for cooled glycol circulation —one installed and one aspare —might still be useable.
• The rink bed piping and pipe header are holding pressure, and the rink bed is in serviceable condition, but
appears to be from the original installation in 1971. Due to age, the rink bed and piping should be replaced
in the near future or as part of a renovation project.
Mechanical Electrical and Fire Protection
• Mechanical investigation has found that a completely new HVAC system should be installed. The hot water
boiler and piping system was not drained or winterized and has ruptured at several locations. Fan coil units,
roof mounted exhaust fans, and the central dehumidifier are all at the end of useful life, approximately 20
years after installation.
• The existing plumbing system was not drained or winterized, resulting in burst pipes, cracked pumps, and
damaged equipment. A completely new domestic hot water system, and new hot and cold water and waste
piping should be installed throughout the building.
• To upgrade the plumbing fixtures to meet current codes, two additional women's toilet fixtures and one
additional women's lavatory need to be added at the public toilet rooms.
• An automatic fire protection system and a fully addressable fire alarm system will be required for the
renovated rink. A dry sprinkler system will be provided in the cold rink areas; a standard wet system will be
provided at the support spaces.

Investigation and Evaluation Report
Canton, MA
Accessibility
• The mezzanine level at the north end of the rink is only accessible by stairway. If it will be accessible in the
future, aone-level LULA lift or handicapped elevator will be needed.
• Several adjustments are needed to make the spectator bleachers and team rooms handicapped accessible
per current MAAB regulations, given the extent of other work. It appears that the scope of work warrants
replacement of the bleachers that will allow full compliance,
Utilities
• The building currently has water, sewer, gas and electrical utility services. The main electrical service and
equipment is original and needs to be replaced and separated from the refrigeration equipment.
• Anew water service for the fire protection system will be required.
• The scope of work, and the rink's proximity to an adjacent wetland area antl Ponkapoag Brook will require
design and construction of storm water control.
Hazardous Materials
Several materials that are part of the existing exterior wall assembly and roof assembly contain asbestos,
and must be handled by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. These include vertical caulking at wood
columns, caulking at translucent windows and doors, and transite roof shingles. In addition, asbestos was
found in vinyl floor tiles and floor the mastic, in some pipe insulation, and in joint compound in the boiler room
ceiling.
Estimates of Probable Construction Costs
The estimate provides for the scope outlined under the Scope of Work section in the report. The cost of the work
is in the range of $333 SF. For purposes of comparison, a new rink costs in the range of $350 per square foot.
Direct trade costs for the renovation are approximately $7,000,000. With a 10%design contingency and mark-ups
the construction budget is $8,880,000.
Total Project Costs
Total project cost must be included costs for ArchitecturallEngineering fees, OPM Costs, expenses, and testing, a
site survey, and wetland permitting. Total Project Costs is $9,998,500.

Re: Water Ops. Budget
It does seem the over run of The Water Enterprise Operation Budget will approach $275,000.
I ncrease in spending was due to MA DEP Sanitary Survey corrective action requirements, changes
i n water treatment maintenance schedules and procedures, updates needed to treatment plant
valuing, added round of system leak detection, Cross Connection Survey of all commercial
properties, overtime increases for standby and after hours on site coverage, needed purchases of
services to engineer and effect changes to operations.
