County staff report courthouse plumbing repairs, generator completion expected and codes office refresh
Loading...
Summary
County operations staff reported aging galvanized plumbing in the courthouse that may require partial or full replumbing, estimated repair cost between about $1,500 and $15,000, and said Capital Electric will finish a delayed generator installation soon; codes office painting and move-in work also underway.
Cliff briefed commissioners on several facility projects: increasing basement leaks in the courthouse, a pending Grand Jury Room floor job, and an upcoming generator final-installation by Capital Electric.
Cliff said the courthouse has old galvanized piping and three drips that have increased in frequency; he described options ranging from temporary band clamps to a more-extensive replumbing using PEX. "It could be a $1,500 deal. It could be 15,000," Cliff said, adding the final cost depends on historical-preservation constraints and how much floor demolition is required.
Cliff also said hardwood-flooring work in the Grand Jury Room is pending the contractor's availability and that a delayed generator part is due to arrive so the system can be brought online soon, preventing planned power interruptions for servers.
On the codes and zoning office, Cliff said Amber has moved in and that painting and trim work remain before full occupancy.
No formal funding decisions were made at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to obtain estimates and report back as part of routine facilities maintenance planning.
