The Pueblo City-County Library District (PCCLD) is seeking
statements of qualifications from firms for architectural design and related services
for the renovation of the Rawlings Library located at 100 E. Abriendo Avenue,
Pueblo, Colorado. It is PCCLD’s intent to solicit qualifications from several firms,
evaluate the results, interview a short list by a selection team, and select a firm to
perform architectural and design work for renovation of the Rawlings Library.
PCCLD anticipates the selected architectural firm will assist PCCLD’s project team
in review and update of the existing Rawlings Library renovation preliminary design
concepts, complete design development and produce construction documents,
and conduct construction administration for the renovation work. The intent is to
use a CM/GC method for this project. Additional details regarding this project are
included below in section 5. Scope of Work: The renovation of the Rawlings Library is
contemplated to involve significant interior refurbishing to the facility and updates to systems
such as, but not limited to, mechanical and electrical along with limited site work. The work under
consideration is more fully described in the document entitled Pueblo City-County
Library District Library Facilities Master Vision (June 2019) and available online

ionPlans.pdf. Please note the work described in the document is expected to be
reviewed by the firm in consultation with PCCLD for possible updates and changes
prior to moving forward with design development and other services. The current
timeline for the project is contemplated to be approximately three years at a cost of
approximately $8.4 million. PCCLD anticipates library operations will continue to
function during the design and construction phases of the renovation, and the design
and construction will be planned and coordinated to minimize disruption of services
during the project. The scope of this engagement is expected to be renovation of
the Rawlings Library although PCCLD reserves the right to engage the same firm for
