Washington Pavilion Cornice and Parapet Replacement by Scott Rust, Purchasing Manager; and Steve Jastram, Arch, Inc. Presentation: Approximately 20 minutes followed by discussion Rust began the presentation and provided a brief history of the project. He said that there is no physical threat to the public's physical health or safety. Due to water leakage it's time to replace the cornice and parapet with balustrades.  Jastram said they have been working on the design for the cornice and balustrades; and trying to figure out ways to save money and for it to be effective. Water is leaking into the building from the steel rods in the balustrades. There are also issues with horizontal steel rods. Jastram said that there was some caulking done and they looked at the steep angles of the rods. They will need to replace about 30% and then they can paint the rest. There was not as much damage as first thought. Jastram said they are tearing apart in six locations. Scaffolding was originally going to be used for the project, but it was determined that a lift would work saving money. Jastram said work could be done around the building and would not impact the entrance or exit. Time on site would be reduced and pre- assembly could be done. The baluster and cornice would each be 12 ft. and placed slightly to the right of their current locations. Fiberglass would be used instead of the current terra cotta. Rust said the project is close to $6M, which is lower than the original $5M to $7M projection. Inflation will be factored into the cost. Due to the savings, color changing LED back lighting, a project alternate, will be added. Rust reviewed the project timeline and said it would take one year to complete. Discussion followed regarding: the current colors of the balusters at the Pavilion; the LED back lighting; what happens to the allotted project funds, since it there will be a cost savings; how water is currently getting in the balusters; terra cotta and leaking joints; interlocking fiberglass; no maintenance requirements; adding a horizontal membrane for safety; baluster overhangs; light weight fiberglass; life expectancy of the project; contingency funds; and touring the Pavilion roof. 5.
