[a. Justice Center Update by John A. Hernandez, P.E. County Engineer.]

2.4 A JUSTICE CENTER UPDATE FROM JOHN HERNANDEZ, COUNTY ENGINEER. AND HE'S GOING TO BE GIVING US TWO UPDATES HERE THIS MORNING. SO, JOHN. ALL RIGHT. THE FIRST THE FIRST UPDATES GOING TO BE ON THE JUSTICE CENTER. ALL RIGHT. THIS MONTH'S MONTHLY PAYOUT IS APPROXIMATELY 2.8 MILLION. AND THAT BRINGS THE PROJECT COMPLETION TO ABOUT 38%, 38.5%. FOR THAT PAY ESTIMATE. THERE'S SOME A COUPLE OF BIG TICKET ITEMS. ONE IS I WANT TO SAY THAT ALL THE STRUCTURAL CONCRETE ON ALL THE FLOORS, THAT'S THE BASEMENT, I MEAN, THE FIRST FLOOR, SECOND FLOOR, THIRD FLOOR AND THE PENTHOUSE, THAT'S ALL BEEN COMPLETED. YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED ALSO THAT THE SERVICE CONCRETE DRIVE FROM THE ENTRANCE HERE, GOING AWAY, HAD TO COME TO A CERTAIN STOPPING POINT, BUT SOME OF THAT'S COMPLETED AS WELL. ANOTHER BIG TICKET ITEM IS PROBABLY THE ESTIMATES, WHAT

[00:25:07]

THEY CALL THE MILLWORK. AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE MATERIALS GOING TO BE DELIVERED. AND THAT PROCESS IS GOING TO START. AND THAT WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. AND THE LAST BIG TICKET ITEM IS WE CALLED THE CHILLER. AND THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY $275,000. AND THAT'S ALREADY ON SITE HERE AGAIN. FULTON HAS OFFERED YOU GUYS THE COURTS A FIELD REVIEW AT Y'ALL'S CONVENIENCE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SCHEDULE A TIME. BUT THERE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO TAKE A TOUR OF THE SITE AT ANY TIME. THE PROGRESS SO FAR, LIKE I SAID, ALL THE STRUCTURAL CONCRETE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. AND THAT INCLUDES SOME STRUCTURAL STEEL, SUCH AS INSTALLING THE STAIR RAILING TO MEET YOU GUYS MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT AS READY IS ALREADY IN PLACE. ONE THING INTERESTING HERE. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED A TEST REPORT AND THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL ON THE FIREPROOFING DRY DENSITY. SO SOME OF THE EXPOSED STEEL IS ALREADY THERE, BEGINNING THAT INSTALLATION ALREADY. AND SO FAR THE TEST REPORTS HAVE BEEN GOOD. THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THICKNESS THAT'S REQUIRED BUT THAT'S BEEN APPROVED. LASTLY, AND YOU HEARD ME GUYS MENTIONED BEFORE MANY, MANY TIMES I'VE INCLUDED FOR Y'ALL'S REVIEW. HERE AGAIN IS THE PROJECT SCHEDULE. AND THIS GO AROUND AS, AS ALWAYS MENTIONED IS THE RED PART. AND THAT'S CALLED THE CRITICAL PATH FOR THE NEXT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE KEY WHICH IS DRIVING THE PROJECT COMPLETION IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THE MECHANICAL PORTION, THE HVAC, ELECTRICAL AND THE PLUMBING THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE. THE PROJECT COMPLETION. AND THAT'S GOING TO PUSH MOST OF THAT STUFF THROUGH MID-JULY. ONE ITEM HERE IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT. AND LET ME SEE HERE ON THE PROJECT LIST HERE ON THE SECOND PAGE, THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL THE FIRST FLOOR. FIRST COAT OF PAINT. SO THAT'S SCHEDULED TO BE ANYWHERE FROM JULY THROUGH AROUND MID-AUGUST. SO THAT'S THE FIRST FLOOR. SO THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG PRETTY WELL.

SO IF YOU GUYS GET A CHANCE WE GAVE YOU A COPIES OF THE COLOR PICTURES OF THE PROJECT.

PROGRESS. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON THE JUSTICE CENTER UPDATE. ANY QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS TO JOHN ON THE JUSTICE CENTER. SO JOHN, ON YOUR CRITICAL PATH ON YOUR SCHEDULE, IF THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN RED OR IN THE OTHER COLUMN ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW AND THEY'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE. SO EXTERIOR DOOR FRAME INSTALLATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE 21ST OF LAST MONTH, 0% COMPLETE. SO IS THAT A CONCERN? NO, NO IT'S NOT. IT'S JUST NOT NO IT'S NOT. WELL IS THIS UPDATED OR ARE THEY ACTUALLY WORKING ON THOSE ITEMS I GUESS IS MY QUESTION. SO SAME THING WITH FIRST FLOOR MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL PLUMBING ABOVE CEILING. SHOULD HAVE STARTED THE 1ST OF APRIL AND IT SHOULD BE DONE NEXT WEEK. AND IT'S STILL SHOWING 0%. THOSE ARE BOTH CRITICAL PATH ITEMS. SO IF THE CRITICAL PATH IS BEHIND SCHEDULE, THE WHOLE PROJECT WILL BE BEHIND SCHEDULE. NOW, I CAN ASSURE YOU IT'S JUST A YOU KNOW, THE FIRST FLOOR MEP STUFF IS ALMOST COMPLETE. OKAY. SO THIS THIS DOESN'T NECESSARILY REFLECT WHAT'S ACTUALLY OVER THERE. NO NOT NOT FOR SOME ITEMS. NO SIR. BUT IN FACT LIKE I SAID, THERE'S THERE REALLY ARE SINCE LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, PRIOR TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE CONCRETE, THEY HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE, THE WIRE HANGERS FOR THE HVAC SYSTEM IN PLACE AND ALL THAT FOR ALL THREE FLOORS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. AND IN FACT, THEY'RE STARTING THE, THE, THE ELECTRICAL AND THE PLUMBING, MAINLY THE HVAC ON THE SECOND FLOOR AS WE SPEAK. ALL RIGHT. SO I KNOW OBVIOUSLY THEY SUPPLY THIS TO YOU. YOU MIGHT

[00:30:06]

ENCOURAGE THEM TO KEEP IT UP TO DATE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BRING IT HERE TO PRESENT TO US, YOU MIGHT HAVE THEM UPDATE IT BEFORE IT COMES HERE. OKAY. IF YOU'RE CONFIDENT WITH THINGS AND YOU TELL ME WE'RE ON SCHEDULE, I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD OR ON SCHEDULE, SIR. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE JUSTICE CENTER? NO, SIR. OKAY, THEN LET'S GO TO 2.4 B, WHICH IS COURTHOUSE RENOVATION.

JUDGE. COMMISSIONERS. OF COURSE. YOU HAD A COMMENT. SORRY. I BELIEVE THEY'RE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. AT THIS TIME. THERE'S. I WOULD SAY THEY'RE SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE. I DON'T WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH. LIKE, THEY REALLY DON'T WANT TO PUT ANY BAD LUCK ON THAT. YEAH. I'M JUST GOING WITH WHAT'S PRESENTED. WE'RE DOING REAL GOOD. I MEAN, IT SAYS A CRITICAL PATH. ITEMS ARE NOT COMPLETE AND THEY'RE BEHIND SCHEDULE. THAT THAT CONCERNS ME.

SO IF YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE GROUND IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THIS. OKAY.

NO, THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE MOVING ALONG. AND MAYBE WE NEED TO HAVE A WALK THROUGH SOMETIME. GO AHEAD AND SEE IF WE CAN SCHEDULE THAT FOR THE COURT. AND IF YOU WANT TO. SURE. THAT'S YOU KNOW, I'LL BE I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO COME AND VISIT SO YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, I CAN TALK ALL THE DAY. YOU CAN LOOK AT RED LINES AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. BUT WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO OUT TO THE SIDE, CLIMB UP SOME STAIRS, TOUCH THE COLUMNS AND, YOU KNOW, CHECK THE BOAT TIGHTNESS. YOU KNOW, I'M YOU GUYS WILL FEEL A LOT BETTER. THE PROGRESS OF THE COUNTY IS WORKING WITH FULTON. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU JOHN. THANK YOU JOHN. GO AHEAD AND GO

[b. Courthouse Renovation Update by John A. Hernandez, P.E. County Engineer.]

TO THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION NOW. OKAY. YEAH. AND.

OH, THANKS. JOSH. ONE THING THIS IS THIS IS THE, YOU KNOW, THE PHASE TWO OF THE WHOLE BIG DEAL.

THE PROJECT HERE. AND SO THIS PROJECT UPDATES GOING TO BE ON THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION. I WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU GUYS, Y'ALL SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE ATTACHED PROJECT SCHEDULE OR DESIGN SCHEDULE FOR THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY, WE'RE ALL WORKING AS A TEAM. WE HAVE THE COUNTY'S TEAM. WE HAVE THE ARCHITECTURAL TEAM, YOU KNOW, BRW. AND IN FACT, FOR THIS PARTICULAR PHASE TWO, THEY HAVE ADDED TWO NEW MEMBERS TO STRICTLY WORK ON THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION. AND WHEN WE SAW MR. RAY AND JUSTIN HELPING US OVERALL WITH THE OVERALL PROGRESS, BUT WE HAVE THEY ADDED TWO NEW MEMBERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PHASE. AND SO WE'RE ALL WORKING AS A TEAM THE COUNTY, THE ARCHITECTS AND OF COURSE, FULTON WORKING TOGETHER FOR THIS NEXT PHASE. BUT I WANT TO JUST BRIEFLY GO OVER WHAT WE CALL THE STILL, WHAT WE HAVE WITH THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN. AND SO THE FIRST AND THIS IS YOU GUYS HAVE A HARD COPY OF THIS, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE, ON THE SCREEN THERE. THAT'S THE EXISTING THE FIRST PAGE THERE. THAT'S THE EXISTING. WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. HERE'S THE NEXT PHASE. THE OVERALL VIEW. THAT'S THE PROPOSED DESIGN. JUST YOU KNOW WE'RE CALLING FOR SOME MORE ADDITIONAL PARKING. AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE THERE WILL BE A SMALL MINOR BUILDING ADDITION. OKAY. THIS IS THE BASEMENT AREA. THE BASEMENT. THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN. PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ARCHITECT ARCHITECT TEAM STILL HAS ONE MORE FINAL MEETING WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, AND THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE SOMETIME IN MAY. THAT'S THE PLAN. BUT JUST BRIEFLY HERE. LIKE THE LIKE THE BASEMENT. THE FLOOR PLAN NOW IS CALLING FOR THE IT DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT. BE CONTINUE TO BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR PLAN. YOU MAY NOTICE RIGHT HERE THE RED PERIMETER HIGHLIGHTED THAT AREA. THAT SMALL AREA RIGHT THERE IS A STRICTLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. SO ANYTHING BEHIND THAT IS GOING TO BE WHAT WE CALL SECURED REQUIRES JUST EMPLOYEE ACCESS ONLY. NEXT FOR THE ACTUAL FIRST FLOOR

[00:35:07]

THAT'S GOING TO BE HAVING THE TAX OFFICE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON THE WEST END. THE EAST END IS GOING TO HAVE THE COUNTY ENGINEER AND THE GRANTS DEPARTMENT, AND THERE'LL BE A FEW SMALL OFFICES FOR ADDITIONAL GROWTH. ALSO IN THE WEST WING IS GOING TO BE THE VETERAN'S OFFICE. WHILE THEY'RE ON, THERE'S KIND OF SMALL, BUT THERE'S A REALLY ROOM FOR STORAGE, CONFERENCE ROOMS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND ONCE AGAIN YOU NOTICE THE RED PERIMETER AREA, ANYTHING BEHIND THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE CONSIDERED SECURED IN THE FRONT, BE THE PUBLIC ACCESS ONLY. THIS THE SECOND FLOOR IS GOING TO HAVE THE COUNTY JUDGE, THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, THE COMMISSIONER COURTROOM AND THEN THE WEST SIDE OF THE FLOORS CAN HAVE HUMAN RESOURCES AND THE TREASURER'S DEPARTMENT. THAT ONE'S GOING TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF DEAL.

THERE'S ALWAYS THERE'S GOING TO BE A DEFINED AREA BETWEEN THE PUBLIC ACCESS AND EMPLOYEE ACCESS. THE LAST FLOOR, THE THIRD FLOOR, IS JUST STRICTLY DEDICATED TO THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE. ONE THING I REALLY WANT TO POINT OUT IS THE COUNTY HAS RECEIVED. THIS. QUITE, QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION, WHAT THEY CALL PROGRAMING AND STACKING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT REALLY WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF STRUCTURAL LOAD BEARING COLUMNS AND BEAMS. AND SO THE ARCHITECT TEAM IS WORKING VERY HARD TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEPARTMENT HEADS REQUEST ABOUT CERTAIN OFFICES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIND HOW NOT TO INTERFERE WITH THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE COURTHOUSE. ALL RIGHT. BACK TO THE BACK TO THE DESIGN SCHEDULE HERE. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THREE IMPORTANT DATES THAT ARE COMING HERE. ONE IS WHAT WE CALL THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK PRICING. AND THAT'S COMING AROUND THE END OF JULY. THE NEXT BIG THING IS WHAT WE CALL 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. AND THAT'S SCHEDULED FOR MARCH OF 2026. AND LASTLY IS THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION START DATE. AND THAT'S SCHEDULED FOR MAY OF 2026. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN ABOUT A YEAR. SO LIKE I SAID IT'S REALLY TIED IN ALL OF IT'S TIED IN TO A THE ONGOING JUSTICE CENTER CONSTRUCTION DATE THAT HAS TO BE WRAPPED UP AND THEN START THE ACTUAL COURTHOUSE RENOVATION COMPLETION DATE OR START DATE FOR THAT. LASTLY, I WANT TO COVER OKAY, HERE WE GO. HERE.

THIS IS A VERY PRELIMINARY. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE COURTHOUSE RENDERINGS FOR THE EXISTING COURTHOUSE. YOU KNOW. DON'T THE LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY? WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE LIGHT SWITCH, SIR. AND YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THAT AS WELL. THANKS. SO A LOT OF THESE THINGS ARE PRELIMINARY. NO, YOU KNOW, DON'T KNOW. FINAL COLOR SELECTION HAS BEEN ADDED. THIS IS JUST STRICTLY A RENDERING OF PROPOSED COURTHOUSE RENOVATIONS.

LIKE I SAID, THE COUNTY'S TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL TEAM TO TRY TO MOVE THINGS QUITE A BIT ALONG. LIKE I SAID HERE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS HOPE HOPEFULLY TO FINALIZE THE DEPARTMENT'S HEADS, OFFICE SPACE AND FUNCTIONALITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE HAVE ONE MORE LAST MEETING THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON THE COURTHOUSE RENOVATION. DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY COMMENTS? JUDGE, YOU HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO ADD, IF YOU NOTICE ON YOUR PROJECT SCHEDULE, YOU NOTICE THE COMPLETION DATE FOR THE RENOVATION IS MAY OF 27. THAT, YOU KNOW, 2027 IS ALWAYS BEEN A DATE THAT WE'VE HAD IN OUR MIND, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THIS ORIGINAL

[00:40:04]

COURTHOUSE, AND WE WANTED TO GET IT DONE BY THEN. SO AS SOON AS THE JUSTICE CENTER IS COMPLETED OVER HERE AND THE MOVE IS MADE, WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE, I THINK IT'S APRIL OR MARCH, MARCH OF 26. TAKE A MONTH TO MOVE IN, AND YOU NOTICE THE CONSTRUCTION DATE STARTING ON THE COURTHOUSE IS APRIL OF 20. SO MAY MAY OF 2026. YEAH, MAY OF 2026. SO THEY'RE MOVING REAL QUICK TO GET US INTO THAT 2027 TIME FRAME. SO WE CAN HAVE THAT HUNDREDTH, HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COURTHOUSE BEING RENOVATED INTO SOME KIND OF FORM TO WHERE, WHEN WE OPEN IT BACK UP. SO BOLTON HAS GUARANTEED US THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IT READY. FOR NO STORMS. RIGHT? WE'RE NOT PRAYING FOR STORMS, BUT THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF THAT DATE THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT. THAT'S CORRECT.

YEAH. WE ALL BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY CLOSELY AS A TEAM. YEAH. AND OF COURSE WE'RE WORKING ON THIS RIGHT NOW PRETTY EXTENSIVELY BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DELAY WHEN WE FINISH THE JUDICIAL BUILDING. AND WE HAVE A BIG LONG DELAY IN THERE. THAT'S THE SCHEMATIC DRAWINGS OF THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. WE MET LAST WEEK. AND THEN I GUESS IN THE COMING WEEKS, THE DEPARTMENT HEADS FOR EACH ONE OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE IN THERE ARE GOING TO BE HAVING MEETINGS AND STUFF TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING RIGHT FOR YOU IN THAT DEPARTMENT, THAT IN SECTION THAT YOU'RE IN. SO WE'RE MOVING QUITE FAST ON THE THAT RENOVATION AS WELL. YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT.

OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE OKAY. THANK YOU JOHN. AND WE'LL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED AS WE HAVE MORE MEETINGS HERE. NO, WE MEET AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH ON THE JUDICIAL, AS YOU WELL KNOW, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE NEXT ONE SCHEDULED FOR THE RENOVATION. PROBABLY THEY HAVEN'T SAID. OKAY. THANKS,
