Bohne, Community Services Direc William Algire, Engineering and Transportation Director Main Library Retrofit/Renovation/Expansion Branch Library Study SLINEWARY AND RECOMMENDATION We recommend the following competitive processes to review the completed schematic design for the main library and to select management professionals to provide on -site management throughout the Library Retrofit/Renovation/Expansion project. 1. The City should conduct a competitive process (RFP) to select an architectural firm to conduct a peer review of the existing schematic design in order to validate critical design elements. 2. The City should conduct a competitive process (RFQ) to select a firm to provide overall and on -site construction/project management of the project. 3. The City will negotiate specific contracts with the professionals selected as a result of these competitive processes. The contracts should delineate exactly what services will be performed, the timeline for delivering the services, and the total fees. We recommend the City study the branch library system to determine the best locations for the branches as well as determine the appropriate size of the library buildings. This would be a phased program similar to the Civic Center Complex Retrofit Project. BACKGROUND The City Council approved a seismic upgrade/retrofit of the Community Library Center as part of the city-wide project to retrofit essential City facilities.
