County awards courthouse renovation contract; first milestone set for October 2025
Summary
Public Works reported that DPW awarded a historical renovation contract to Spectra Company for the Merced County courthouse museum; scaffolding is in place and the contractor aims to complete the first 80 feet by October 2025 with final work expected spring 2026.
The Merced County Board of Supervisors heard an update on Feb. 18 from the Department of Public Works on the county courthouse museum renovation and recorded approval of related actions.
Nathan Braid, director of Public Works, told the board that DPW accepted bids and awarded a contract for the courthouse museum renovation to Spectra Company, a contractor specializing in historical building work. "This work was started the first of the year, and the first milestone is completion of the first 80 feet starting at the courthouse steps by October 2025," Braid said. He said scaffolding has been erected and that the remainder of the project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2026.
Board members thanked community contributors; Supervisor Pedroza noted letters of support and thanked Patty Desetti and federal and state representatives for assistance securing support. The board moved to record the project information and related actions; the motion was made by Supervisor Pedroza, seconded by Supervisor Silvera, and the transcript records the motion as carrying unanimously.
DPW said the milestone was established to ensure access and presentability for the courthouse's 150-year celebration. Spectra Company is performing the renovation work; additional scheduling and budget details were not specified in the meeting excerpt.
