HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Harlan Depew with Reno County said the work on the courthouse dome is substantially complete.
"There were four scopes of work happening simultaneously," according to Depew.
Window restoration is 98% complete, earthquake repairs are 98% complete. The change order to replace the roof substrate on the dome is substantially complete as well. Exterior weatherization is 95% complete.
Windows and interior work are now down to making final adjustments, some touch up work, and prepping for a final punch by the architect.
The last of the limestone has been hoisted back up on the dome. They are planning to have the final stones set, leveled, and ready for grouting by the end of this week. The remaining weatherization will be happening over the next several weeks and the scaffolding should be starting to come down as they work their way from the top down on these final details.
Total cost of all scopes including change orders was $3,942,839.04. The contractor has been paid $3,727,182.15 so far. Insurance has reimbursed $1,159,126. The county balance remaining is $215,656.89. The net cost to the county after insurance reimbursement is $2,783,713.04.
