Also, as an optional service, we can have a mechanical/electrical engineer evaluate the existing building systems and how they may need to be modified for the new uses (library as well as animal control spaces are very different than an office). We would begin our process by visiting the space to measure the existing layout so that we can draw the floor plan to scale. We would then utilize this plan to evaluate the impact of the Building Code and ADA for occupancy issues, egress, and accessibility compliance. We would prepare an outline program of the likely library spaces needed. This will be primarily based upon the space allocation at the current facility and the potential space at the new location. This program summary will serve as a guide for the conceptual design effort. A more detailed program would likely be required of the state grant application for library construction. With that information, our office will prepare drawings depicting the conceptual floor plan of the proposed spaces for review and approval. We will meet with the Library and Governing Body to discuss the design options and to incorporate their feedback. With a direction selected for the improvement areas, we would finalize the plan graphics and prepare an opinion of the likely construction value for the project. This opinion is not a detailed cost estimate since the design is only conceptual. Ultimately, we will attend a final meeting to present the materials and to discuss the steps forward. The materials produced through this proposal’s scope may be used in part for the pending state grant application for library construction. It is understood that additional materials will be required by the state and are not quantifiable until they release their regulations later this winter. We can assist with that application process as an additional service. We anticipate that initial report will be submitted within 30 days of authorization to proceed. Our fee for the design study is Twelve Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($12,700). We look forward to working with you again.
