Subject: Project Synopsis

Building History:

The Edward T. Gignoux Federal Courthouse is a large historic three-story courthouse located in

downtown Portland, Maine. The building was constructed in two phases, the original building in

1911 and a large addition in 1931-1932.

Executive Summary:

The project scope of work is to provide an updated and improved galley/kitchenette for the
United States Marshals Service (USMS) at the Edward T. Gignoux Federal Courthouse. The work will consist of the removal and replacement of the existing floor finishes and cabinetry, as well as the inclusion of additional cabinetry and the relocation of the existing floor/wall mounted
‘ready’ gun safe. There is adequate space to perform the renovation work while maintaining
USMS access to the adjacent secure cell area; however, close coordination between the
contractor and USMS personnel will be required. Utility work in support of the renovated
galley/kitchenette will consist of tying into existing in place plumbing lines and wiring. The current estimate of probable cost for the project at this time (ECCA is $59,000.00). The Construction Contract Award is projected is anticipated to occur in the winter/spring of 2024-2025.
