| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
| In November 2018, WMB Architects began work on the schematic design and design development of the new Yolo Branch Library. Currently a soil profile is needed for septic system design, and a geotechnical engineering investigation and consultation is needed to inform the building foundation design and site paving sections. The soil profile and geotechnical engineering investigation will inform the updated project budget and cost estimates developed by WMB Architects. The amendment will increase the scope and amount of the work authorization to include these two additional tasks. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| The Yolo Branch Library construction project has been a coordinated effort by staff from the CAO’s office, Library staff, and the Friends of the Yolo Branch Library. 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 County Administrator’s Office and General Services Department have also been heavily involved with the Yolo Branch Library construction project. |
| Competitive Bid Process |
