Core drilling estimate comes in under $9,000, will proceed

Eight additional borings with soil, bedrock results before February 15, 2007 meeting

By Ed Waggener

Adair County Judge Ann Melton signed off today, Friday, February 2, 2007 to have $8,625.00 in new core drilling on the Campbellsville & Merchant ST site of the the Adair County Justice Center.

The Judge Executive had been authorized to proceed with the work at the January 2007 meeting of the Adair County Justice Center Project Development Board if the estimates were under $9,000. The new tests became necessary when core drillings for the building's original siting on the lot showed a mushy underground which would have add enough costs to correct to bust the budget.



The core drilling and results are to be complete before the Thursday, February 15, 2007 meeting of the PDB.

The work is being contracted through DLZ, KY, Inc., the Frankfort, KY, architects for the project.

According to Finance Officer Gale Cowan of the County Judge/Executive's office, the new tests will include eight borings, with tests of samples for quality of bedrock and soil classifications.

The new site is near the back corner of the site. DLZ architect and designer Bing Ewen told the members of the project development board at the January meeting that he does not expect any problems with the new location and that there will be over $200,000 saved by the elimination of a northside retaining wall.
The Adair County Justice Center Project development board includes the chairman, Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton, and Adair County District 1 Magistrate Roger Stephens, Attorney Marshall Loy, Circuit Court Judge Jim Weddle, Adair County Court Clerk Dennis Loy. Douglas Teague, Administrative Office of the Courts representative. Jeff Lillie. is the AOC advisor to the PDB and serves as an alternate if needed to establish a quorum.
