The Consultant shall lead and guide a process that includes two primary phases of design followed by the construction administration phase. A detailed scope of services for the project is identified in Section 2 of this RFP, but a high-level overview of just the two design phases is as follows: Phase 1: Pre-Design Feasibility Study • Develop a new feasibility study to investigate three primary concept planning options as defined in this RFP section 2.3.B • The Consultant shall facilitate a robust and innovative community engagement effort to gain public input regarding desired functions and services for the library. • This first phase of the project shall conclude with the identification of three different facility size and layout options for the building with corresponding cost estimates for County evaluation and selection. Phase 2: Detailed Design Process • Based on the selected option from the Feasibility Study, the Consultant shall develop a detailed design process through Construction Documents with milestone budget updates. • The Consultant shall continue the facilitation of a robust and innovative community engagement effort throughout this process. Furthermore, to build upon the County Library Vision, a few additional key project objectives for the Library include, but are not limited to, the following: • Engagement with Project Partners including: City of Woodbury, SoWashCo Community Education, TrueLens Community Media, Stonecrest Senior Living, and the YMCA. o Note: the existing City Central Park facility will remain operational during construction. o Note: the existing SoWashCo Community Education lower level school will remain operational during construction. • Exploration and Implementation of County Library Extended Access: o Consider options for an additional, separate public entrance for after-hours extended access (known as the open plus system in the County). With the Library’s primary public entrance existing inside the City’s Central Park, confirmation of the City’s new operational hours will be a driver of this element. o Code required access to public toilet rooms will be a primary driver of this element.
