1. RESERVE STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Client: Driftwood Sands Condominium Association, Inc. (Driftwood Sands)
Location: Indian Rocks Beach, Florida
Reference: 231209
Property Basics: Driftwood Sands Condominium Association, Inc. is a midrise style development
which consists of 45 units in a six-story building. The building was built in 1982.
Reserve Components Identified:
• 17 Structural Integrity Reserve Components.
• 15 General Reserve Components.
Inspection Date: March 13, 2024.
Methodology: We use the Cash Flow Method to compute the Reserve Funding Plan. This
method offsets future variable Reserve Expenditures with existing and future stable levels of
reserve funding. Our application of this method also considers:
• Current and future local costs of replacement
• 2.0% anticipated annual rate of return on invested reserves
• 3.5% future Inflation Rate for estimating Future Replacement Costs
Sources for Local Costs of Replacement: Our proprietary database, historical costs and
published sources, i.e., R.S. Means, Incorporated.
Project Prioritization: We note anticipated Reserve Expenditures for the next 30 years in the
Reserve Expenditures tables and include a Five-Year Outlook table following the Reserve
Funding Plan in Section 3. We recommend the Association prioritize the following projects in
the next five years based on the conditions identified:
• Structural Integrity - Paint finish applications and partial replacement to limit water
infiltration into the units, and to maintain a uniformly clean and consistent appearance of
the buildings
• General - Replacement of the wood deck at the pool to prevent further deterioration
Unaudited Cash Status of Reserve Fund:
• $243,860 as of January 1, 2024
• $100,000 in budgeted 2024 reserve contributions ($100,000 remaining)
• $104,000 in estimated remaining 2024 reserve expenses
• We project a 2024 Reserve End Balance of $244,660.
As part of our Cash Flow method we analyzed future expenditures and identified the reserve
balance split to produce the lowest overall required contributions. Due to the statutory restrictions
on structural integrity reserve funds, we recommend the Association maintain separate funds for
Structural Integrity reserves and General (non-structural) reserves. However, the existing reserve
funds are not split. We, therefore, analyzed future expenditures and identified the starting reserve
balance split that produces the lowest overall reserve contributions. We recommend the
Association allocate $9,786, or 4% of the 2024 Projected Reserve End Balance to the Structural
Integrity Reserve Fund and $234,874, or 96% to the General (non-structural) Fund to minimize
the total combined contributions to the statutory Structural Integrity Fund and the recommended
General (non-structural) Fund. A vote of the membership may be required to allocate funds in this
Page 1.2 - Executive Summary
manner. The following chart depicts the analysis of future expenditures and the reserve balance
split to produce the lowest overall required contributions.

Structural Integrity
Funding Goal: The Funding Goal of this Reserve Study is to maintain reserves above an
adequate, not excessive threshold during one or more years of significant expenditures. Our
recommended Funding Plan recognizes these threshold funding years in 2045 due to the
replacement of the waterproof coatings at the balconies and breezeways and in 2052 due to the
replacement of the thermoplastic roofs.
Recommended Reserve Funding: We recommend the following in order to achieve a stable
and equitable Cash Flow Methodology Funding Plan:
• Allocate $9,786 of the Anticipated 2024 Year End Reserve balance to the Structural
Integrity Reserve Fund.
•
Increase to $130,100 in 2025
•
Inflationary increases thereafter through 2054, the limit of this study's Cash Flow Analysis
• The Association may ascribe the actual contributions and assessments per owner based
upon percent ownership, as defined by the Association's governing documents.
• Florida Statute 718.112 prohibits waiving or reducing reserves for Structural Integrity
items for budgets adopted after December 31, 2024.

Page 2.2 - Report
IDENTIFICATION OF PROPERTY
Our investigation includes Reserve Components or property elements as set forth in your
Declaration. The Expenditure tables in Section 3 list the elements contained in this study.
Our analysis begins by segregating the property elements into several areas of
responsibility for repair and replacement.
Our process of identification helps assure that future boards and the management team
understand whether reserves, the operating budget or Owners fund certain replacements
and assists in preparation of the annual budget. We derive these segregated classes of
property from our review of the information provided by the Association and through
conversations with Management and the Board. These classes of property include:
• Reserve Components (Structural and General)
• Long-Lived Property Elements
• Operating Budget Funded Repairs and Replacements
• Property Maintained by Owners
We advise the Board conduct an annual review of these classes of property to confirm its
policy concerning the manner of funding, i.e., from reserves or the operating budget. The
Reserve Study identifies Reserve Components as set forth in your Declaration or which
were identified as part of your request for proposed services. Reserve Components are
defined by CAI as property elements with:
• Driftwood Sands responsibility
• Limited useful life expectancies
• Predictable remaining useful life expectancies
• Replacement cost above a minimum threshold
Page 2.3 - Report
Structural Integrity Reserve Expenditures - At the direction of the Board that
recognizes their fiduciary responsibility and as required by Florida Statute 718.103 (25),
we have conducted a Structural Integrity Reserve Study of Driftwood Sands
Condominium Association, Inc.. A Structural Integrity Reserve Study states the estimated
remaining useful life, the estimated replacement cost or deferred maintenance expense
of the common areas being visually inspected and provides a recommended annual
reserve amount that achieves the estimated replacement cost or deferred maintenance
expense of each common area being visually inspected by the end of the estimated
remaining useful life of each common area. Specifically, as per Florida Statute
718.112(2)(g), we have investigated the structural integrity and safety of common
elements within the following:
• Roof
• Load Bearing Walls or Other Primary Structural Members
• Exterior Doors
• Fireproofing and Fire Protection Elements
• Plumbing
• Electrical Systems
• Structure
• Waterproofing and Exterior Painting
• Windows
• Any other item that has a deferred maintenance expense or replacement
cost that exceeds $10,000 and the failure to replace or maintain such
item negatively affects the items listed above
Items Excluded from Structural Integrity Reserve Expenditures - We exclude
expenditures for the elements below for one or more of the following categories of
reasons:
• Remaining useful lives or their replacement may occur beyond the 30-
year scope of the study
• Current condition does not warrant predictable maintenance expenditures
• Issue applies to a unit owner maintained element
We discuss specific exclusions for the following elements:
• Structure and Primary Structural Members - We anticipate a useful life of
up to and beyond 100 years and consider full replacement unlikely and
cost prohibitive. Management and the Board report no history of water
infiltration or repairs to the foundations. Based on the current condition,
we do not anticipate the need for replacement, repair or maintenance
expenditures through reserves within the 30-year scope of this study.
Future updates of this Reserve Study may incorporate costs for
remediation based on historical data if they become significant enough to
require reserve funding.
• Interior Fire Protection Pipes - We anticipate a useful life of up to and
beyond 80 years. Our inspection is visual, non-invasive and excludes
Page 2.4 - Report
camera inspections. Based on the current condition, we do not anticipate
the need for replacement, repair or maintenance expenditures through
reserves within the 30-year scope of this study. Future updates of this
Reserve Study may incorporate costs for remediation based on historical
data if they become significant enough to require reserve funding.
• Unit Windows and Doors - Maintained and replaced by the unit owners
The following tables depict the items excluded from the Reserve Expenditure plan:

Certain items have been designated as the responsibility of the Owners to repair or replace at their cost, including items billed back.
These elements may not have predictable Remaining Useful Lives or their replacement may occur
beyond the scope of this study. The operating budget should fund infrequent repairs. Funding
untimely or unexpected replacements from reserves will necessitate increases to Reserve
Contributions. Periodic updates of this Reserve Study will help determine the merits of adjusting the
Reserve Funding Plan.

• 2024 local cost of replacement
− Per unit
− Per phase
− Replacement of total quantity
• Percentage of future expenditures anticipated during the next 30 years
• Schedule of estimated future costs for each reserve component including
inflation
Reserve Funding Plan
• Reserves at the beginning of each year
• Total recommended reserve contributions
• Estimated interest earned from invested reserves
• Anticipated expenditures by year
• Anticipated reserves at year end
Five-Year Outlook
• Line item numbers
• Reserve component inventory of only the expenditures anticipated to
occur within the first five years

anticipated to occur within the first five years
The purpose of a Reserve Study is to provide an opinion of reasonable annual
Reserve Contributions. Prediction of exact timing and costs of minor Reserve
Expenditures
typically will not significantly affect
the 30-year cash
flow
analysis. Adjustments to the times and/or costs of expenditures may not always result in
an adjustment in the recommended Reserve Contributions.
Financial statements prepared by your association, by you or others might rely in
part on information contained in this section. For your convenience, we have provided
an electronic data file containing the tables of Reserve Expenditures and Reserve
Funding Plan.

4. RESERVE COMPONENT DETAIL
The Reserve Component Detail of
this Full Reserve Study
includes
enhanced solutions and procedures for select significant components. This section
describes the Reserve Components, documents specific problems and condition
assessments, and may include detailed solutions and procedures for necessary capital
repairs and replacements for the benefit of current and future board members. We advise
the Board use this information to help define the scope and procedures for repair or
replacement when soliciting bids or proposals from contractors. However, the Report in
whole or part is not and should not be used as a design specification or design
engineering service.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY - Exterior Building Elements
Front elevation
Rear elevation
Balconies and Breezeways, Concrete
Line Items: 1.060 and 1.065
Quantity: 55 concrete balconies and breezeways comprising approximately 14,000
square feet of horizontal surface area. The balconies and breezeways comprise
reinforced concrete with a waterproof coating.
History: Repaired and coated in 1996. The balconies and breezeways have recently
started showing signs of underlying concrete cracks.
Condition: Fair overall with cracks and isolated damage evident.
Page 4.2 - Reserve Component Detail

Page 4.3 - Reserve Component Detail
Concrete balcony undersides
Useful Life: Capital repairs including a close-up visual inspection, patching of
delaminated concrete, routing and filling of cracked concrete, and waterproof coating
applications every up to 20 years. High-grade waterproof coatings typically require sealer
applications up to every five years.
Component Detail Notes: A waterproof coating application minimizes storm water
penetration into the concrete and therefore minimizes future concrete deterioration.
Failure to maintain a waterproof coating on the balconies and breezeways will result in
increased concrete repairs and replacements as the balconies and breezeways age.
Capital repairs may also include replacement of the caulked joint between the balcony
and breezeway and the building, and repair or replacement of the metal railings and railing
fastener attachments as needed.
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. The Association plans to replace the waterproofing with
a high-grade waterproof coating in 2024, funded by a special assessment. Our cost
includes the following activities per event:
• Partial depth replacement of up to one percent (1%) of the concrete
topsides, edges and undersides
• Crack repairs as necessary
• Repairs to the railings as necessary
• Replacement of perimeter sealants as needed
• Application of a high-grade waterproof coating (Urethane based
elastomeric)
The Association should coordinate both balcony and breezeway and facade capital
repairs and maintenance to allow for the possible use of a single contractor and combine
any applicable staging or mobilization costs. Also, coordinated repairs will reduce
disruption to owners.
Page 4.4 - Reserve Component Detail
Balconies and Breezeways, Railings, Aluminum
Line Item: 1.105
Quantity: 1,820 linear feet of aluminum railings at the balconies and breezeways which
are mechanically attached
History: The original wood railings were replaced with aluminum railings between 2004
and 2005.
Condition: Good overall
Aluminum railings at balcony
Aluminum railings at balconies
Aluminum railings at breezeway
Useful Life: Up to 40 years (The useful life of the finish is indeterminate. Future updates
of this Reserve Study will again consider the need to refinish the railings based on
condition.)
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Page 4.5 - Reserve Component Detail
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3.
Doors, Front Entrances
Line Item: 1.180
Quantity: 2,500 square feet comprised of 45 front entrance doors and common windows
and doors throughout the building.
History: Varied ages. The Association historically replaces two to three unit entrance
doors each year. The stairwell windows were installed around 1996 and replaced again
12 to 13 years ago. The meeting room sliding doors were replaced in 2016. The age of
the windows and doors at the lobbies was unavailable at the time of our inspection.
Condition: Good overall

Preventative Maintenance Notes: We note the following select recommended
preventative maintenance activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
• Annually:
o Inspect and repair any damage, base corrosion or alignment
issues
o Replace deteriorated hardware and loose weather stripping
o Periodic touch-up paint finish applications as needed
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. Our cost is based on information provided by the
Association.
Roofs, Mansard, Metal
Line Item: 1.460
Quantity: Approximately 45 squares1
History: Replaced from 2004 through 2005.
Condition: Good overall
Standing seam metal mansard roof

1 We quantify the roof area in squares where one square is equal to 100 square feet of surface area.
Page 4.7 - Reserve Component Detail
Standing seam metal roof
Useful Life: Up to 30 years
Preventative Maintenance Notes: We recommend the Association maintain a service
and inspection contract with a qualified professional and record all documentation of
repairs conducted. We note the following select recommended preventative maintenance
activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
• Annually:
o Record any areas of water infiltration, flashing deterioration,
damage or loose fasteners
o Implement repairs as needed if issues are reoccurring
o Ensure proper ventilation and verify vents are clear of debris and
not blocked from attic insulation
o Clear valleys of debris
o Periodic cleaning at areas with organic growth
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3.
Roofs, Thermoplastic
Line Item: 1.530
Quantity: Approximately 16,600 square feet of roofing
History: Replaced in 2022. The Association conducts inspections of the roofs annual.
We concur with this preventive maintenance practice and recommend the Association
continue to fund these inspections through the operating budget.
Condition: Good to fair overall with periodic standing water evident. Management and
the Board do not report history of leaks.

Useful Life: 15- to 20-years. However, the Association plans to have to replace the roof
every 15 years due to insurance requirements.
Page 4.9 - Reserve Component Detail
Component Detail Notes: Thermoplastic roofs include the following:
• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC or simply vinyl)
• PVC alloys or compounded thermoplastics
• Thermoplastic olefin (TPO)
• Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE)
The following characteristics define most thermoplastic roofs:
• Attachment to the roof deck is either fully adhered, mechanical or ballasted
• Membranes are commonly white and reinforced with polyester
• Seams are sealed with heat or chemical welding
• Sheet widths range from 6- to 12-feet wide
• Sheets are typically 40- to 100-mils thick
• Single ply (one layer)
Over time, exposure to ultraviolet light, heat and weather degrade the membrane. This
degradation results in membrane damage from thermal expansion and contraction,
adverse weather and pedestrian traffic. The aging process makes the membrane less
pliable and more difficult to maintain. Ponding water on the roof can increase the effects
of ultraviolet light on the membrane and contaminants in ponded water can cause the
membrane to deteriorate prematurely. Thermoplastic roofs (especially TPO) are
relatively new and their long term performance is not well defined.
Contractors can install a new thermoplastic roof in one of two ways: tear-off or an overlay.
An overlay is the application of a new roof membrane over an existing roof. This method,
although initially more economical, often covers up problems with the deck, flashing and
saturated insulation. The tear-off method of replacement includes removal of the existing
roofing, flashings and insulation, and installation of a new roofing system.
The contractor should follow the manufacturer's directions and specifications upon
installation of the roof. The contractor should remove the original insulation if saturated
or compacted and apply a new layer of insulation per the manufacturer's instructions. The
insulation should fit loosely with gaps no greater than ¼ inch. Gaps will cause failure of
the membrane later. Mechanical fastening of the insulation is the best manner of
installation.
Preventative Maintenance Notes: We recommend the Association maintain a service
and inspection contract with a qualified professional and record all documentation of
repairs conducted. We note the following select recommended preventative maintenance
activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
• Semi-annually:
o Note drainage issues with water ponding after 48 hours of rainfall
event. Verify scuppers and drains are free of debris. Replace
damaged or missing drain covers.
o Inspect perimeter flashing for loose fasteners, deflections, and
sealant damage
Page 4.10 - Reserve Component Detail
o Verify membrane surface is free of ruptures or damage, and
areas of extensive blistering or bubbling
o Remove oil spills or contaminants from mechanical equipment
o In areas of possible foot traffic, remove any sharp debris or trash
and note areas of crushed insulation
o If frequency of leaks increase or location of water infiltration is
unknown, we recommend the consideration of a thermal image
inspection
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3.
Sealants, Windows and Doors
Line Item: 1.540
Quantity: Approximately 6,900 linear feet of exterior sealants or caulk2 at the windows
and doors
History: Varied ages.
Condition: Good overall
Sealant in good condition
Useful Life: Up to 20 years
Component Detail Notes: The rate of deterioration of the sealants is not uniform due to
the different exposures to sunlight and weather. The Association should anticipate
gradual dispersed deterioration as the sealants age.
2 The terms sealant and caulk are used interchangeably throughout this text and throughout the industry.
Page 4.11 - Reserve Component Detail
Correct preparation of the joint surfaces before re-application of a sealant is important to
ensure proper adhesion. The surfaces must be removed of all contaminants, including
the previous sealant material, paint, rust and other corrosion, water, grease, etc. The
surfaces should also be dry and free from dust and grit, which can be removed using dry
compressed air or brushes. The Association should ensure the manufacturer's
instructions are followed in determining if the substrate is compatible with the sealant and
that the chemical cleaners and solvents used to prepare the surfaces are also compatible
with the sealant.
Several types of caulk are available with significantly different weathering and elongation
properties. We recommend a silicone-based or polyurethane-based caulk. The major
advantage of polyurethane-based caulks is their ability to bond to most construction
surfaces without special preparation, such as primer application, as is required for
alternate materials like silicone caulk. With proper surface preparation, i.e., removing
surface contaminants, silicone-based caulks perform better than most other caulk
materials. The weathering and elongation properties of silicone-based caulk give it a
much longer useful life than other caulk materials.
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. We recommend Driftwood Sands replace up to fifty
percent (50%), or 3,450 linear feet of joint sealant in conjunction with stucco paint
applications.
Structural Members, Inspections
Line Item: 1.605
Quantity: The primary structural members of the building comprise:
• Foundation
• Floors
• Load-bearing walls
• Structural frame
History: The milestone inspection will be completed this year and is being paid for
through a special assessment.
Condition: Driftwood Sands does not report a history of water infiltration, settlement or
major structural concerns with the primary structural members. Our visual, non-invasive
inspection is limited to visually apparent components of the structural members.
Useful Life: Up to and likely beyond 100 years; however, we consider full replacement
unlikely and cost prohibitive. Per Florida Bill SB 4-D, condominium and cooperative
buildings three stories or more in height require milestone inspections 30 years after initial
occupancy. Subsequent milestone inspections are required every 10 years thereafter.
Page 4.12 - Reserve Component Detail
Component Details: Per the Bill (553.899(2-7)), a milestone inspection consists of two
phases. The initial milestone inspection (Phase 1), conducted by a licensed engineer or
architect, includes a visual examination “including the major structural components of a
building, and provide a qualitative assessment of the structural conditions of the building”.
Phase 2 is only required if “substantial structural deterioration is identified”.
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. At this time we do not anticipate capital repairs related
to the structural members. Rather we include an expenditure for required inspections
discussed above. Updates of this Reserve Study would incorporate significant repair
costs deemed necessary following necessary inspections. Our cost is based on
information provided by the Association.
Walls, Stucco
Line Item: 1.880
Quantity: Approximately 64,200 square feet of the building exteriors including the

to seven-years.
Page 4.14 - Reserve Component Detail
Component Detail Notes: The following graphic details the typical components of a
stucco wall system on frame construction although it may not reflect the actual
configuration at Driftwood Sands:
Correct and complete preparation of the surface before application of the paint finish
maximizes the useful life of the paint finish and surface. The contractor should remove
all loose, peeled or blistered paint before application of the new paint finish. The
contractor should then power wash the surface to remove all dirt and biological growth.
Water-soluble cleaners that will not attack Portland cement are acceptable for removing
stains.
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. Our cost is based on information provided by the
Association and anticipates the following in coordination with each stucco paint finish
application:
• Complete inspection of the stucco
• Crack repairs as needed (Each paint product has the limited ability to cover
and seal cracks but we recommend repair of all cracks which exceed the
ability of the paint product to bridge.)
• Underlying concrete structure repairs as needed
• Replacement of up to one percent (1%), of the stucco walls (The exact
amount of area in need of replacement will be discretionary based on the
actual future conditions and the desired appearance.)

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY - Building Services Elements
Electrical System
Line Item: 3.300
History: Primarily original to construction
Condition: Reported satisfactory without operational deficiencies.
Electrical system main panel
Useful Life: Up to and sometimes beyond 70 years
Component Detail Notes: The system includes:
• Breaker type circuit protection panels for low ampacity circuits
• Copper wires
• Homeowners are responsible for the electrical system from the meter to
the unit
We give a brief overview of electrical system components in the following sections of this
narrative:
Page 4.16 - Reserve Component Detail
Primary Switchgear - The primary switchgear is located where the electric supply
comes into the building. Switchgear can include associated controls, regulating,
metering and protective devices, and is used for the transmission, distribution and
conversion of electric power for use within the building. Switchgear components
have a useful life of up to and sometimes beyond 70 years. Replacement is often
determined by a desired upgrade of the entire electrical system.
Transformer - A transformer is an electric device with two or more coupled
windings used to convert a power supply from one voltage to another voltage.
Transformers within a building lower the supplied electrical voltage to a level that
can be utilized by the building's equipment and unit owners. Transformers do not
utilize mechanical components and therefore have a long useful life. However, the
Association should anticipate periodic replacement of a limited quantity of
transformers.
Distribution Panel - The distribution panel is an electric switchboard or panel used
to control, energize or turn off electricity in total or for individual circuits. The panel
also distributes electricity to individual and controllable circuits. One or more
distribution panels may exist and further distribute electricity to individual panel
boards for each unit. The distribution panel is enclosed in a box and contains
circuit breakers, fuses and switches. Distribution panels have a useful life of up to
and sometimes beyond 70 years.
Circuit Protection - Once electricity is distributed throughout the building and is at
a usable voltage level, the electricity is divided into circuits. Each circuit requires
circuit protection. Circuit protection is necessary to prevent injury and fires, and
minimize damage to electrical components and disturbances to the electrical
system. Abnormalities in the circuit can include overloads, short circuits and
surges. Circuit protection devices are commonly referred to as circuit breakers
and fuses. For the protection of the circuits in the units and common areas, we
recommend the use of only circuit breakers as they are safer than fuses. However,
the use of fuses is common for equipment like emergency systems and individual
items of equipment. Fuses with a low capacity rating can easily be replaced with
fuses of a higher rating resulting in an unprotected, overloaded and unsafe circuit.
The circuit protection panels have a useful life of up to and sometimes beyond 70
years.
Conductors - Conductors are the electrical wires that convey electricity to the units,
light fixtures, receptacles and appliances.
Conductor Insulation and Conduit - Conductor insulation provides protection
against the transfer of electricity. Conductor insulation can eventually become
brittle and damaged from rodents or heat from many years of service. Conductor
conduit is a pipe or tube used to enclose insulated electric wires to protect them
from damage. Steel conductor conduit, although galvanized, will eventually rust if
used in damp conditions. The useful life of conductor insulation and conduit is
indeterminate.
Page 4.17 - Reserve Component Detail
Preventative Maintenance Notes: We recommend the Association obtain and adhere
to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance plan. We also recommend the
Association maintain a maintenance contract with a qualified professional. The required
preventative maintenance may vary in frequency and scope based on the unit’s age,
operational condition, or changes in technology. We note the following select
recommended preventative maintenance activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
• Annually:
o
Inspect system for signs of electrical overheating, deterioration,
and/or panel corrosion
o Clean and vacuum exterior and interior switchboards
• Five-Year Cycles:
o Check power meters, lamps, indicators, and transformers for
deficiencies
o
Inspect wiring, relays, power supply units, and timers
o Verify surge protection is intact
• As-needed:
o Test outlets and ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI’s) for faulty
components
o Examine the insulation at switchgears for signs of deterioration or
cracking
o Ensure all conductors are clean and dry with no moisture build-up
o Check and inspect for loose wire connections
o Clean and clear dust and debris away from system components
o Check for flickering or dimming light fixtures as these could indicate
a short in the wiring, arcing, or an over-extension of the electrical
system
o Conduct thermal image scanning if system experiences numerous
or consistent outages
o Keep an accurate record of all repairs to the electrical system
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. We recommend the Association budget to replace the
main switchgear, distribution and circuit protection panels. Updates of this Reserve Study
will consider possible changes in the scope and times of component replacements based
on the conditions, including the need for replacement of the wires.
We recommend the Association conduct thermoscans of the distribution panels and
circuit protection panels, and inspections of the transformers for any indications of arcing,
burning or overheating on a regular basis, funded through the operating budget.
Verification of the integrity of all connection points minimizes the potential for arcing and
fires.

Preventative Maintenance Notes: The Association conducts weekly load tests. The
Association informs us preventative maintenance is conducted on a regular basis. We
recommend the Association obtain and adhere to the manufacturer's recommended
maintenance plan. As a reference, the Association may consult the following document:
NFPA 110, Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems. The required
preventative maintenance may vary in frequency and scope based on the unit’s age,
operational condition, or changes in technology. We note the following select
recommended preventative maintenance activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
Weekly:
o Check fuel and oil levels
o
Inspect cooling and exhaust systems
o Check battery, electrical components and transfer switches
o Run generator without load and look for unusual conditions such as
leaks
Monthly:
o Exercise generator under load test for minimum of 30 minutes

Page 4.20 - Reserve Component Detail
Emergency devices
Useful Life: Up to 25 years for the devices and up to 15 years for the control panels
Preventative Maintenance Notes: We recommend the Association obtain and adhere
to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance plan. In accordance with NFPA 72
(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) we also recommend the Association maintain
a maintenance contract with a qualified professional. The display panel read 'All Systems
Normal' at the time of our inspection. The required preventative maintenance may vary
in frequency and scope based on the age of the components, operational condition, or
changes in technology. We note the following select recommended preventative
maintenance activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
Semi-annually:
o
Inspect and test all components and devices, including, but not
limited to, control panels, annunciators, detectors, audio/visual
fixtures, signal transmitters and magnetic door holders
o Test backup batteries
As-needed:
o Ensure clear line of access to components such as pull stations
o Ensure detectors are properly positioned and clean of debris
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. Our cost is based on information provided by the
Association. Changes in technology or building codes may make a replacement
desirable prior to the end of the functional life. Our estimate of future cost considers only
that amount necessary to duplicate the same functionality. Local codes or ordinances at
the actual time of replacement may require a betterment as compared to the existing
system. A betterment could result in a higher, but at this time unknown, cost of
replacement.
Page 4.21 - Reserve Component Detail
Pipes
Line Item: 3.605
Quantity: Based on the layout and configuration of the units, we have estimated the
quantity of the interior building plumbing. Future updates of this Reserve Study will
incorporate additional information if it becomes available.
History:
• Domestic Water – Primarily original; all of the exposed copper domestic
water pipes in the garage were replaced with PVC in 2020.
• Sanitary Waste Disposal – Original
Condition: Reported satisfactory without operational deficiencies
Component Detail Notes:
Domestic Water - Copper piping is the predominant type of pipe used in new
construction for domestic water piping. With low mineral content in the water, the
useful life of copper domestic water pipes is up to and sometimes beyond 80 years.
However, there is recent evidence that copper piping prematurely develops pinhole
leaks. In the event that numerous pinhole leaks develop or occur throughout the
system of pipes, the Association should also consider “in-place” pipe restoration
technology. This process includes drying, sandblasting away interior pipe
occlusions and applying an epoxy lining to the interior surfaces of the pipes. Future
updates of this study will consider the possibility of the pipe restoration process in
lieu of pipe replacement at the Association. Restoration technology can extend
the useful life of a pipe system thus avoiding a system pipe replacement.
Sanitary Waste Disposal - The pipes are made of PVC.
Valves - The piping systems include various valves. Identification of a typical
useful life and remaining useful life for individual valves is difficult. Associations
typically replace valves on an as needed basis in our experience.
Pipes, Remaining - We anticipate a useful life of up to and sometimes beyond
100 years for the remaining pipes, which may include fire standpipes, gas supply
lines, interior sprinkler pipes, among others. Therefore, we do not foresee the
need to budget for replacement of these pipes within the 30-year scope of this
study. Future updates of this study will revisit the need to include partial
replacement of these pipes.
Preventative Maintenance Notes: The status of preventative maintenance was
unavailable to us during our inspection. We recommend the Association obtain and
adhere to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance plan. We also recommend the
Association maintain a maintenance contract with a qualified professional. The required
preventative maintenance may vary in frequency and scope based on the building’s age
Page 4.22 - Reserve Component Detail
and demands of the piping systems. We note the following select recommended
preventative maintenance activities to maximize the remaining useful life:
• Quarterly:
o
Inspect all visible piping for corrosion and leaks, including common
areas or areas immediately surrounding pipes such as insulation,
ceiling tiles or the floor for moisture, water accumulation, mold or
mildew
• Annually:
o Verify system pressure is sufficient (pressurized piping systems)
o Check accessible valves for proper operation
o Test backflow prevention devices
o
Inspect and obtain certification for pressure relief valves
o Test drain line flow rates
o Mechanically or chemically clean waste lines as needed
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. Our cost for a single riser section assumes replacement
of all pipes located within each wall opening, associated branch piping, fittings and
minimal interior finishes. However, the cost does not include temporary housing for
affected residents, pipes within the units or significant interior finishes. Our estimate
provides funds to replace approximately fifty percent (50%) of the riser sections during
the next 30 years.
An invasive analysis of the piping systems will provide various replacement options.
Replacement of the systems as an aggregate event will likely require the use of special
assessments or loans to fund the replacements.
Although it is likely that the times of replacement and extent of repair costs may vary from
the budgetary allowance, Driftwood Sands could budget sufficient reserves for the
beginning of these pipe replacements and have the opportunity to adjust its future
reserves up or down to meet any changes to these budgetary estimates. Updates of this
Reserve Study would incorporate changes to budgetary costs through a continued
historical analysis of the rate of deterioration and actual pipe replacements to budget
sufficient reserves.
We recommend the Association budget for replacement of the following items through
the operating budget:
• Replacement of valves on an as-needed basis
• Minor pipe repairs and replacements
•
Invasive investigation of the condition of the piping system prior to
beginning more aggregate replacements
• Rodding of waste pipe systems

Component Detail Notes: Prior to replacement, the Association should schedule
periodic inspections to maintain its correct operation in the event of an emergency.
Driftwood Sands should also anticipate, as normal maintenance, interim repairs and
component replacements to maximize its remaining useful life.
Preventative Maintenance Notes: The Association conducts monthly churn tests. The
Association informs us preventative maintenance is conducted on a regular basis. We
recommend the Association obtain and adhere to the manufacturer's recommended
maintenance plan. The required preventative maintenance may vary in frequency and
scope based on the unit’s age, operational condition, or changes in technology. Valuable
motor information to note in a preventative maintenance plan or schedule includes age of

o Check elevator cabs for leveling accuracy to prevent tripping
hazards
Priority/Criticality: Defer only upon opinion of independent professional or engineer
Expenditure Detail Notes: Expenditure timing and costs are depicted in the Reserve
Expenditures table in Section 3. We defer replacement of the cylinder based on the
current condition. We anticipate the following hydraulic elevator system components will
require replacement:
• Cab control panels
• Door operators
• Hallway panels/buttons
• Microprocessor based controllers
• Pumps (Power Unit) (30-HP)
These costs may vary based on the desired scope of the actual replacements, changes
in technology and requirements of local codes or ordinances at the actual times of
replacements. However, we judge our estimated costs sufficient to budget appropriate
reserves at this time. The Association should require the contractor to verify that elevator
component replacements include all of the necessary features for the latest in elevator
code compliance.
Pumps, Domestic Water
Line Item: 3.700
Quantity: Two each
History: Varied ages.
Condition: Reported satisfactory without operational deficiencies.
Domestic water pumps with controls
Page 4.30 - Reserve Component Detail
Useful Life: Up to 20 years
Component Detail Notes: Major pumps included in this Reserve Study are those with
a motor drive of at least five-HP. The Association should replace or repair all pumps with
motor drives less than five-HP as needed and fund this ongoing maintenance activity
through the operating budget. The Association may choose to rebuild pumps prior to
complete replacement. However, this activity becomes less desirable as pumps age due
to the scarcity of parts. We regard interim replacements of motors and component parts
as normal maintenance and base our estimates on complete replacements. An exact
replacement time for each individual pump is difficult, if not impossible, to estimate.
