Hardin1,V. , Ph.D. SUBJECT: Courtroom "Cl' Acting County Administrator FROM: Lynn Williams REFERENCES: Acting Gene Services Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS FILE: Agenda Aug. 4, 1982 At the February 26, 1982, meeting of the Board, approval was given to remove the carpet and adhesive from Judge Stikelethers' office and Courtroom "C". Removal was completed in March, 1982. Several options for flooring to replace that which was removed has been presented and considered over the last four (4) months. A proposed carpet, which is hypo -allergenic, was installed in Nudge Stikelethers' temporary office at a cost of $657.20 in -May., 1982. Per yard cost was $16.53 installed with pad. This cost did not allow for discounts which may be allowed for larger quantities. The Circuit Judges -have made several requests for removal of the remainder of the existing carpet on the second floor of the Court- house. The Circuit Judges have also stated their concern over the lack of progress on the proposed fourth courtroom project. An architect has been chosen and a design program started, however, it may be 6 to 9 months before this project is completed. Staff has reported weekly to the Commission on progress and action taken concerning the problems in the Courthouse. Several requests have been made to authorize the purchase of flooring for Courtroom "C" and Judge Stikelethers office and return the area to a workable state. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Courtroom "C" and the adjacent office suite are and have been in a condition which would allow for the replacement of flooring with whatever material the Board chooses. The total area of Courtroom and office space affected is approximately 3100 square feet. Staff feels the County should proceed with the bidding and purchase of the same type of hypo -allergenic carpet as made by Downs Carpet Company and was tested by Judge Stikelether in his temporary office. Judge Stikelether has not commented either for or against this carpet and staff does not expect any concurrence from the Circuit Judges. _ Alternative "A" Authorize Staff to proceed with emergency bid process to replace flooring with the "Pepper Ridge" carpet made by Downs Carpet Company installed with tack st::ips over "Mattrix" pad manufactured by General Felt Corporation. Authorize Staff to return Courtroom "C" to a workable condition. AUG 419G2 54 4 , U.0 0 -rA� ,805
