Mr. Lance Shepherd, Department of Personnel and Administration, described the rehabilitation work in the Senate and House chambers. He noted that once scaffolding comes down, acoustics and lighting will be tested in the space.
Mr. Shepherd discussed the roof replacement project, noting that a unique asbestos material was found throughout the roof areas. He explained that the project may have to be completed in two phases.
Mr. Shepherd continued to discuss window restoration, which would be a controlled maintenance project. He suggested that there would likely not be funding available this year.
Finally, Mr. Shepherd discussed the restroom restorations for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
He added that a hazardous materials assessment is currently underway throughout Capitol Complex. He noted possible future projects, including: the old supreme court chamber, the Senate and House galleries, and the floors of the House and Senate chambers.
At the request of Ms. Eddins, Mr. Shepherd described a number of projects completed in the Legislative Services Building (LSB) across the street from the Capitol.
Ms. Contiguglia suggested that a document be prepared for new legislators showing the restoration work that has been done. Mr. Shepherd noted that the contractors have been using GoPro cameras to document the restoration process in the chambers.
Ms. Eddins thanked Mr. Shepherd for his work on the restoration projects.
