The RAD Physical Condition Assessment (RPCA) and CNA e-Tool will provide the PHA with a summary of the critical, immediate, and long-term physical needs of the property. Based on the physical needs, the PHA will have the necessary data to calculate the initial deposits and on-going annual deposits to the Reserve for Replacement accounts needed to preserve the properties for 20 years as required by HUD. General Requirements. The selected Consultant will follow all inspection and reporting requirements for the RPCA and e-Tool 3.2 included in the RAD PIH Notice H-2019-09 PIH 2019- 23 HA for housing authorities converting from public housing to Section 8. The RPCA will consider any PHA provided repair and replacement scope of work. The preparation of the RPCA will include the following: 1. Perform interviews and review existing property documentation with knowledgeable PHA staff including building plans, histories, prior assessments, maintenance records, and Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) scores to understand if repairs/replacements have occurred. 2. Identify all development components that will be part of the assessment. 3. Establish a methodology that will sample multiple like-kind buildings, and common areas such as lobbies, corridors, and community facilities, in accordance with the HUD RAD program. The HUD E-tool provides a general list of potential components to be assessed. Generally, components to be assessed are those for which replacement represents a significant capital cost eligible for funding from the HUD Capital Fund Grant received by the PHA. The HUD E-tool list is not all inclusive and may not include significant components that will need assessment and should be included. 4. Perform walks, rough assessment/inspections of the property to ascertain the condition of the property to include immediate critical and non-critical needs; general code compliance; expected repair, replacement, and major refurbishment needs; and total estimated cost to complete such items. The assessor will record the data on Data Collection forms for the following: site, building exterior, building systems, unit, and common areas. 5. Take into consideration the Energy Efficiency and Climate Resiliency factors outlined in the RAD Supplemental Notice H 2023-08. 6. The Consultant will use the Fannie Mae table of EULs and information provided by the PHA to determine the Remaining Useful Life of each individual component and major systems. 7. If the conversion involves a repair or rehabilitation scope, the PHA will provide the Scope of Work to the Consultant to incorporate into the narrative report and 20-year Reserve for Replacement Schedule
