Historical Building Assessment – Limited Structure and Electrical Evaluation
431 South Main Street, Ukiah, Ca
Mr. Burton & Mr. Davis:
Jankovsky Engineering Services has prepared a cost estimate to conduct a building assessment of the Grace
Hudson Museum Sun House as proposed to evaluate the existing condition of the structure and in-place
electrical wiring utilizing the 2022 California Historical Building Code as outlined below:
I.BACKGROUND
The 1911 Grace Hudson Museum Sun House is currently due for a replacement of the 40 year old asphalt
composite roofing and concerns were raised regarding the overloading of the existing roof rafters from the
previous re-roofing and retrofit which include additional loads from plywood roof sheathing and placement
gypsum ceiling board to the roof rafters and rafter ties in the attic space which were not evaluated or
addressed at the time of their application. In addition to the reroofing and ceiling sheetrock loads, concerns
have also been raised with respect to the existing original electrical wiring currently in-place in the structure
and new wiring placed in the attic area. A current water leak has been reported and observed in the south
dormer wall where a vent has been added and the overall structural condition of the building has not been
currently evaluated.
The proposed scope of services was developed form an onsite meeting and walk-through of the structure
conducted on November 21, 2024, a summary correspondence e-mail from Jankovsky Engineering Services
addressing the findings of the on-site meeting and building walk-through including a preliminary proposed
scope of services to evaluate the proposed concerns of the structure and a May 20, 2025 request for proposed
scope of assessment evaluation services prepared by the Grace Hudson Museum as outlined below:
II.SCOPE OF SERVICES
Historical Building Assessment - Structure & Electrical for Proposed Maintenance & Repairs
The scope of services addresses the assessment and evaluation of the areas of concern, as
addressed in the Background section of this proposal and a limited overall structural evaluation
of the building for strengthening structural elements of the building which could be hidden ordo
not affect the historical integrity of the building as outlined below:

conduct limited load calculations of the rafters to evaluate the existing roof condition with the
increased loading from the roof plywood sheathing, composition roofing and gypsum
wallboard. The deflection measurements would be conducted from the exterior of the roof
due to limited access of the full length of the rafters from the enclosure of the attic space with
gypsum board at the roof collar, rafters and surrounding walls of the attic area.
