Franklin County awards courthouse roof and tuckpointing design work to Bergland & Cram
Summary
The board approved an agreement with Bergland & Cram for design work on the Franklin County Courthouse roof and tuckpointing; the roof work is prioritized to proceed this year and tuckpointing likely next year.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with architectural/engineering firm Bergland & Cram to provide design services for the Franklin County Courthouse roof replacement and tuckpointing work.
County staff and the board said the projects will be handled as two separate efforts: the roof replacement requires immediate attention and is planned to proceed soon, while tuckpointing design and construction are likely to be scheduled next year for timing reasons. County staff who walked the building with Engineer Doug Forsman described him as familiar with the courthouse; staff noted Forsman was one of the engineers involved in the 2008 clock tower restoration.
Board members moved and seconded approval of the agreement for roof and tuckpointing design. The motion carried by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call or the names of movers and seconders.
County staff noted that structural and building-envelope work (roof and tuckpointing) can be handled under the same design contract, but separate engineering disciplines may be required for electrical or mechanical systems if those elements are later included in scopes of work. No additional contract details or dollar amounts were read into the public record during the meeting.
