Committee seeks as-built drawings and laser scans to assess old Sumner County courthouse
Summary
The RFQ includes as-built drawings and structural analysis, but members said historic plans have not been found; the committee discussed using laser-scanning technologies and limited walkthroughs while sealing unsafe areas during any public event or open house.
Committee members said as-built drawings and a structural analysis were included in the RFQ but that historic original drawings have not been uncovered. "We've included as built drawings and a structural analysis in the RFQ," the chair said, while others said having 1939 plans would help but is not required if laser scanning is used to recreate floor plates and interior conditions.
Members also discussed safety and access for public walkthroughs: portions of the courthouse may need to be sealed off (bathrooms, some nooks) for safety; they suggested limiting access to a main entry or the first floor for an open house and providing temporary lighting for interior tours. The committee acknowledged the need to balance public access with caution and to include safety and lighting requirements in site-visit guidance to prospective firms.
