| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The existing Yolo Branch Library building, originally constructed in 1918, requires replacement for a number of reasons, including structural issues, code compliance, and ADA compliance. Library services were moved into a leased on-site portable building in January 2018, and will continue there until a new building is constructed. The new building will be approximately 3,900 square feet and will contain study rooms, a community room, and a covered outdoor area. The environmental impact report was certified in November 2018, and WMB Architects subsequently began work on the schematic design and construction documents.
A cost estimate is needed based on the construction documents prepared to 95% of completion. This cost estimate is required to successfully secure funding from local, state, and federal grant opportunities. This amendment will increase the scope and dollar amount of the work authorization. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| The Yolo Branch Library construction project has been a coordinated effort by staff from the County Administrator's Office, Library staff, and the Friends of the Yolo Branch Library of Yolo. Library staff and the lead architect from WMB Architects have participated in multiple meetings with the Friends and the Yolo Community Advisory Group to obtain input on the community's needs and priorities for the new Yolo Branch Library. The General Services Department has also been heavily involved with the Yolo Branch Library construction project. |
| Competitive Bid Process |
| On-call contracts were solicited and reviewed in compliance with all Department of Financial Services policies and procedures. Contracts were approved by the Board of Supervisors in June 2017. |
