2 Scope Criterium Engineers was hired to update a reserve study for the Reston Association. The specific tasks included: Review the previous study performed by others Consult with Reston Association management regarding plans for maintenance and upgrades Review and refine list of common elements Conduct an on-site investigation of all common elements

3 Scope Review and develop cost estimates of necessary maintenance and repairs for the next 30 years Establish projections of reserve fund balances over thirty years Evaluate current and projected funding levels for the reserve period.

4 Methodology Criterium Engineers Craig Smith, P.E. and Drew Di Sessa, P.E. conducted the initial investigation. From September 16 th through September 18 th, 2009 they met with David Hopkins, Larry Butler, Brian Murphy, Paul Priestly, and Lauren Kowalski. Between September 16 th and October 1 st, 2009 Criterium Engineers spent five (5) days on site observing and evaluating the common elements.

Methodology Cost estimates for maintenance and repair of common elements were developed by review of existing quotes, review of historical costs, review of previous estimates, experience shared by

5 Methodology Cost estimates for maintenance and repair of common elements were developed by review of existing quotes, review of historical costs, review of previous estimates, experience shared by management staff, and cost estimating tools such as R.S. Means) Estimated Useful Life (EUL) were developed based on Fannie Mae and Marshall & Swift guidelines, and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of common elements were developed based on observation, industry standards, and opinions of management.

Methodology Assembled data was compiled and entered into Criterium Engineers proprietary reserve analysis software by Peter Hollander Cost information was provided by Messrs.

6 Methodology Assembled data was compiled and entered into Criterium Engineers proprietary reserve analysis software by Peter Hollander Cost information was provided by Messrs. Smith and Di Sessa Budget information, current funding levels, and economic assumptions were provided by Reston Association Management The adequacy of existing funding levels were determined Three alternative funding scenarios were evaluated.

7 All common elements were combined into nineteen (19) general categories and further aggregated into six overall areas. Tot Lots Found to be in good condition with several scheduled for replacement over the next 10 years and safety upgrades to some surfaces Tennis Courts Good condition; maintenance and reconstruction scheduled over the term Multi-purpose Courts Good condition; periodic resurfacing required

Pavilions and Arbors No major defects observed; structures in fair to good condition; several smaller structures were below capital expenditure threshold Foot

8 Pavilions and Arbors No major defects observed; structures in fair to good condition; several smaller structures were below capital expenditure threshold Foot bridges Most fall outside capital reserve threshold; no significant problems discovered; compliance with AASHTO requires replacement of four bridges over next two years

9 Boat Docks Generally good condition; some cracking of ramp at Lake Thoreau Lakes, Ponds & Dams Embankments in good visual condition; repairs recommended at inlet structures; new dam safety regulations in 2008; reserve includes dredging as well as contingency for partial dam replacement.

10 Parking & RV Lots Pavements in good condition with typical wear; no areas of major deterioration; some areas of poor drainage Ball Fields Fields are generally in good condition Brown s Chapel Old, but good condition; typical replacement of building components

Central Services Facility Good condition, wellmaintained Pool Buildings Ponding on membrane roofs; wood rot in some locations, exhaust ventilation

11 Central Services Facility Good condition, wellmaintained Pool Buildings Ponding on membrane roofs; wood rot in some locations, exhaust ventilation insufficient in some pool equipment rooms Swimming Pools Shells and decking generally in good condition; one deck in fair to poor condition; rust in some electrical panels

12 Underpasses Inspected by Virginia DOT; partial funding recommended in case major repair becomes necessary. Asphalt Trails No immediate dangerous conditions or severely damaged sections; costs to maintain adjusted to reflect current pricing

13 Sidewalks, Curbs & Gutters No issues; replacement scheduled consistent with previous study Equipment & Vehicles Equipment inventories provided by management; adjustments made for current costs and residual values

14 Other Site Features Includes fencing, gates, retaining walls, etc. Suggest replacing wood retaining walls with modular block Administrative Equipment Inventories provided by management.

15 Average funding requirements per year = $2,961,252 Average funding requirements per year = $2,961,252

16 Average funding requirements per year = $2,961,252 Current funding projections adequate for the next eighteen years. 10,000,000 Existing Funding Levels 5,000, (5,000,000) Dollars (10,000,000) (15,000,000) (20,000,000) (25,000,000) Funding Years

Slight changes to the funding levels will allow for adequate reserves. Alternative 1: Increase annual funding from an average of $2.1 million/year to $2.7 million.

17 Slight changes to the funding levels will allow for adequate reserves. Alternative 1: Increase annual funding from an average of $2.1 million/year to $2.7 million. Alternative 2: Increase annual funding by 3% per year. Alternative 3: Retain current funding levels, but plan on a special assessment or other infusion of about $20 million in 16 years.

18 Summary of Reserve Balances $30,000,000 $25,000,000 $20,000,000 Dollars $15,000,000 $10,000,000 $5,000,000 $0 ($5,000,000) Funding Years Alt. 1 Alt. 2 Alt. 3

19 Conclusions The Reston Association infrastructure appears to be in relatively good condition and adequately maintained. Reserve funding plans appear adequate for at least the next 18 years, with minor tweaks as new contingencies arise. This is a mature community already into at least its second round of replacements. Therefore, barring unforeseen events like storms or other acts of nature, no sudden or unanticipated expenditures are anticipated.
