NOTES
- An emergency meeting was held at courtroom #2 to determine
the extent of damage and to plan the re- pair and stabilization of the
plaster ceiling beams.
- The scope of work to repair the beams will be based on the
direction discussed at our job meeting. Specifications and drawings to
document this will be prepared as soon as possible by the 4M Company.
- Wallace Builders will follow up with a proposal to the
county on Monday based on our discussions. Authorization from Lou to proceed
was granted and removal of a section of the ceiling beam in court- room #1
was to be done the following day.
- Easily & Rivers will also do the repair of the west
portico plaster cornice that was damaged due to water infiltration from the
faulty roof scupper. We had a prior estimate from another company to do the
re- pairs; however, since Easily & Rivers are doing the courtroom
repairs and already have scaffolding and plasterers on the job, they were
able to do the repairs for $750.00, saving the county approximately
$1200.00. They will enter into a separate purchase order directly with Lou
for these repairs.
- Lou and Bob then met with Commissioners Gene Brenneman and Brian Shipley and Prosecutor Lou McEwen and Administrator Rick Boggs to discuss the historical preservation approach we are going to take with the courtroom plaster ceiling beam repairs.

OUTLINE SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
MERCER COUNTY COURTHOUSE
COURTROOM CEILING BEAMS RESTORATION
July 28, 2000
GENERAL CONTRACTOR
The General Contractor shall provide labor, material, and equipment to complete the following work:
- Provide temporary scaffolding and barriers as required to
complete work.
- The existing ceiling lights are to be removed from the
beams and placed in three symmetrical bay spacings totaling 12 lights
between the rows of beams. This will allow for the eventual replacement of
the fixtures with more appropriate historical chandeliers.
- Three continuous steel plates to secure the plaster beams
are to be installed using l/4" thick x 5-1/2" Wide x 14' length
flat bar with 3/8" diameter all-thread rods. The rods are to be
12" in length for the side moldings support plates and 18" for the
center beams support plate. They are to be shoe welded at 2'-0" o.c.
and provided with two interlocking nuts and one flat washer, installed with
a l/4" x 6" x 6" flat plate with a 7/16" diameter hole
centered in each plate to distribute the weight evenly along the attic
surface of the concrete deck.
- Every 2'-0" o.c., the attic concrete deck is to be
core drilled to allow for these structural
beam supports. The steel support plates are to be installed in the recessed soffit panels on the four ceiling beams and also on the perimeter wall cornice beam soffit panels. The perimeter wall cornice is also to be inspected for any structural deterioration to the decorative dentil moldings and brackets and to repair as required.
- All new plaster beams that are to replace the missing or
damaged beams are to match and replicate the existing profiles and moldings
of the existing plaster beams and to blend seamlessly with the original.
Only those portions of the existing plaster beams and moldings that are
structurally unsound and weakened beyond repair are to be replaced.
- All steel is to be shop primed gray and free of any surface
defects. Field paint all exposed faces to match existing color and finish of
the recessed soffits of the plaster beams after installation.
- Repair the existing damaged wood portions of the Judges
Bailiff's bench in Courtroom #2 and refinish to match existing.
- Because the Courthouse must remain open and the offices and public undisturbed as much as possible, all work must be done after hours from 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Work commenced Thursday, July 20th and it is anticipated to be completed August 30th, 2000. Because of the many conditions regarding this type of work, an estimate will be provided for budgetary purposes; however, the work will be done on a time and material basis.
