A.5.7.3.8 Repair Replace Recommendation for Existing Components

A. One-time repairs. Typically, “repairs” are actions applied to an existing component and therefore the Component Type identifies the object of the repair (e.g., wood window) and the Component ID should describe the actual repair needed for that window (e.g., replace broken sash).

1. Needs Assessors should identify all repairs or replacements that are immediate repairs even when these might normally be treated as operating expense. For example, the Needs Assessor may observe conditions that require a mere repair to restore a component to normal use (e.g., a broken windowpane, or a tree that requires trimming, or a wiring repair, drywall damage or a broken lock in particular units.)

2. When identifying the repair or replace recommendation, the Needs Assessor should identify “When?” as “Now” and the “Action” as “One-time repair.”

3. The “One-time repair” action restores the component to the EUL/RUL that would otherwise prevail. The repair will appear only once and only among immediate repairs. The Component Type name and the Alternative replacement for that component should already have been identified and a separate recommendation can be made to replace the component (e.g., windows, landscaping, wiring, wall finish, or doors) in the future.

B. Repeating or Periodic Repairs. Some repairs may be regular and periodic (e.g., water proofing or tuckpointing exterior masonry). When a repair is periodic in nature, the Component ID describes the repair, and an assessed RUL sets the time when the repair should first occur. The Alternative describes the actual repair work and the EUL entered for the Alternative indicates the frequency of the repair (e.g., “5” means every 5 years). The “When” is “now” or “end of cycle” depending on the assessed RUL entered. The Action is “Repair,” meaning a repeating repair.
