Paducah commissioners approve contract modification for city hall stabilization project

During Tuesday night's meeting, the Paducah Board of Commissioners approved a contract modification for the City Hall Stablization project.

In June, the Board approved a contract with PFGW Architects in the amount of $842,500 for a project to address the structural deterioration of the porch canopy and support columns, the porch (podium) understructure, and the building’s external water drainage system. 

The contract modification adds $14,920 to the contract for the preparation and submission of historic tax credit applications to the Kentucky Heritage Council and ongoing historic preservation consultation. City Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The design phase and construction bidding process are expected to take at least one year, followed by approximately one year of construction. 

City Hall will remain open to employees and the public throughout construction. To protect the building and allow continued operations, plywood window coverings, construction debris netting, and a scaffolding/shoring system will be installed.
