The 1995 building concrete structure is visually failing and continues to fail. Failure is from the concrete not having proper coverage and from water intrusion over a period of time.

Brown Courthouse\Key West J.Bornett.Ltr.6.28.7.doc r Structural Opinion Original Building (1965 Building) This building appears to be in good condition. We did not observe any conditions that ® cause concern over the structural integrity of this building. Therefore, our opinion is that this building is in a condition that should continue to perform satisfactorily for some time. 1985 Building Addition This building has significant structural issues. Water intrusion over the years has caused significant corrosion of the steel reinforcing inside the walls and roof slab. This corrosion has in -turn caused the concrete to spall off the walls and floors, thus exposing the corroded rebar. i The amount of corrosion is severe at the third floor level. Numerous areas are visible where the concrete has spalled off the walls and/or roof slab. Upon closer examination we discovered numerous other areas at the roof slab where the corroding reinforcing has cracked the concrete, but the concrete has not yet spalled off. r Upon visual observation of the building, it is obvious the third floor has experienced r significant damage due to water intrusion. The extent of the damage throughout the remainder of the building is unclear. In fact, there may be areas of the building that have significant reinforcing corrosion, but the corrosion has not yet caused the concrete to spall. In a case such as this, it is virtually impossible to determine the exact extent of the corrosion damage. Additionally, this building is framed with loadbearing interior walls throughout the space. ' This type of construction, while being sound structurally, makes interior renovations ` much more expensive, due to the amount of work to structural elements that is typically required. Due to the issues stated above, it is our opinion this building should be demolished and a ' new structure constructed in its place. A more complete discussion of options for new construction are presented in Section VI.

It would not be efficient or practical in our opinion to renovate or repair because there is not a way to determine the extent of the concrete structural darnage. We i'mmunend the demolition of the 1985 additions and reconstruction with several options to consider (see page XXXXX) With the reconstruction we can tic the 1965 and 1985 portions together, The renovated 1965 and the new portion could present a building that is architecturally compatible and has the appearance of a consolidated Monroe County Courthouse, We would propose that we provide the furnishing design in the building if the County is interested, however, we realize that purchases like this come towards the end and it may be that inventorying the frimiture, fixtures and equipment that you have and determining what you need will determine the amount of furnishings that are applicable to the renovated and new addition. Architecturally, it is our desire to design and construct a facility that is both aesthetically pleasing and acceptable in Key West on behalf of Monroe County Commission and citizens. A very important aspect of the 1965 building is that all communications for Key West are housed on the tower on top of the building (telephone, 911, Sheriff, Fire, Rescue, etc,). Since the 1965 building is recommended for renovation and not demolition this results in major savings to the project. We will need to be very sensitive and cognizant of the structural integrity GENERAL OPINION The 1965 addition can and should be renovated and used for years to corn . The structure is in good condition and eery stable. The �985 p�wtjo =should be demolished because the structure has and continues to fiul, rebuild the 1985 portion with consideration given to all floors being qipgqqq��gg qpiipqg� lqgq p I I 4orage facility mould be considered. The Historic Jail is also a good document storage area. If document storage on the second level is decided upon rcbuild the second level back with a 10% 8" floor to ceiling height if not build it back at 12'-8" for normal o.ice :spa ce. If it is built back ws, office occupancy the second level floors (1965,1985) will not match, This does not present a huge problem with horizontal connection because elevators can stop at any elevation. It does not work to demolish part of the 1985 building and retain a pollion because of the failed structure and the previous jail being in the middle (2 d floor) of the existing facility- The third level is in a total state of disrcpair because of spalling concrete from water intrusl�,.)n and inappropriate concrete coverage on the steel that is shown in numerous photographs, This only leaves the ground floor which is very inefficient because of sallyport doors and other -ail related spaces. In addition the structural systems does not provide for efficient cost renovation into office space. The second level jail plumbing leaked for several years and caused major damage to the first floor. If the first floor structure was retained it would force the floors above to be built back in their current configuration structurally It is more cost effective to change the I structure to a more efficiency structure system and rebuild totally. In addition the Historic Jail offers very rvaluable space as Building Maintenance or climatized document storage space. rPPO"t (e3 �,Pra- o's Ii) The following photographs represent random shots taken through the ceiling pro'k,'dud by removing the ceiling tiles.
