Consultant presents progress, finds roughly $17 million in near‑term deferred facility costs
Summary
McKinstry Industries presented a progress update on the City of Anacortes’ facilities condition assessment during the city council meeting on June 16, 2025, reporting a roughly $17 million near‑term deferred capital estimate across reviewed sites.
McKinstry Industries presented a progress update on the City of Anacortes’ facilities condition assessment during the city council meeting on June 16, 2025. The consultant said the assessment is about 80–90% complete and will feed the city’s capital facilities planning and preventive maintenance work.
Mark Hood of McKinstry told the council the team has inspected 52 facilities (about 280,000 square feet), photographed assets and entered roughly 1,400 line items into a workbook that scores condition and estimates replacement or repair timing. Hood said the firm produced an asset‑by‑year 30‑year capital plan and that the initial five‑year truncation shows about $17 million in deferred capital costs across the sites reviewed, with about $4.8 million on municipal buildings and larger sums on water treatment assets.
Hood described a preventive maintenance plan tied to a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS, Cartograph) so the city can track preventive tasks, repairs and staff time. He said the FCA includes condition scores (1–5, with higher scores worse), fuel‑source and decarbonization indicators, and a two‑page report for most buildings that will highlight high‑priority, life‑safety and high‑cost items with five‑year graphs and inflation‑adjusted projections.
Hood also noted two funding opportunities that could offset part of the cost of meeting clean‑buildings criteria: an Association of Washington Cities program and Commerce’s Tier 2 building early adopter incentive, together described as providing about $40,000 in potential assistance for eligible buildings. Hood said the workbook is designed to be updatable so the city can reprioritize, extend or accelerate work and that McKinstry will help with ongoing use and CMMS import.
Council members asked clarifying questions about scope, utility vs. municipal components of the totals and the city’s ability to push non‑critical items out to later years. Hood said the workbook allows prioritization by life‑safety and other criteria and that some items can be deferred while others require near‑term action.
This was an informational presentation; no council action was taken on June 16.
