County hires EverGreene for courthouse tile oversight on multi-year preservation project
Summary
The Allen County Courthouse Preservation Trust and the county will contract with EverGreene Architectural Arts for limited quality-control and oversight of an encaustic tile replacement project expected to continue two years or more; the commission approved the agreement 3-0.
Robyn Zimmerman, director of the Allen County Courthouse Preservation Trust, presented an agreement with EverGreene Architectural Arts to provide limited quality-control and oversight on an ongoing encaustic tile replacement at the courthouse. Zimmerman told commissioners the consulting engagement is expected to last two years or more as the preservation work continues.
Commissioners approved the agreement unanimously. The contract is described in the record as limited oversight and quality control rather than full-scale renovation management; staff will continue to coordinate project scheduling and contractor oversight with the Preservation Trust and EverGreene.
Project context: the county is addressing historic encaustic tile replacement at the courthouse, and the oversight contract aims to ensure workmanship and conformance with preservation standards over the multi-year work plan.
