Renovation of a municipal facility in Topeka, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

UPDATE : Redesign and construction of a large, jury courtroom on the 3rd floor. The project includes removal and relocation of the existing judge's bench, entry into the courtroom from judicial offices, removal of the jury box, witness stand and gallery rail; construction of a new platform, judge's bench, jury box, witness stand and gallery rail using Courtroom 4D as the architectural template. Ceiling tiles and light fixtures will be replaced due to age and damage to existing units. Carpet and paint will be updated. New electronic technology features will be installed including audio, visual and recording tools; evidence presentation systems; and video-conferencing capabilities. The included technology will allow the judge to control all technology functions within the courtroom from a single console device on the bench. A new podium will be installed which will assist in integrating all of the technology features in the courtroom. The estimated costs for the design and construction of the project based upon the actual cost of design and construction of courtroom 4D (Room 403) from KBS and TreanorHL is $334,349, inclusive of Cytek Media Systems Incorporated for Audio/Visual and Technology hardware; and the quote from Marshall Furniture for the podium is $3,500. This project was previously submitted as a 2021 CIP in our five (5) year plan. However, due to COVID and the unknown financial impact to Shawnee County, the courts made no CIP requests in FY 2021. Therefore, this project request was postponed to FY 2022. Per KBS Constructors, 15% was added to the original proposal due to increased costs of lumber and steel. Project is included Shawnee County FY 2022-2026 Budget CIP ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Redesign and construction of a large, jury courtroom on the 3rd floor.
