Remodeling of a library in Stratham, New Hampshire. Completed plans call for the remodel of a library.

The Town of Stratham is requesting proposals for the bathrooms to be remodeled at Wiggin Memorial Library located at 10 Bunker Hill Avenue, Stratham, NH 03885. SCOPE OF SERVICES SOUGHT: The project will include, but is not limited to, the following services: Remove the existing flooring and install new durable tile flooring. Extend tiling up the bottom edges of the walls to a height of one foot to accommodate regular mopping and cleaning. Remove and replace existing toilets, urinal, and sinks with economical, water-efficient, and energy-efficient models. Replace the changing table in the left bathroom. Install a small partition, about 2 feet in depth, between the sink and the urinal in the left bathroom, for added privacy. Secure or replace railings and adjust existing partitions as needed for ADA compliance. Provide pricing options to ensure that the entrance doors to each bathroom meet ADA standards for width, handle types, and ease of access. Include pricing for push-button operated doors as part of ADA compliance, breaking out the cost for having only one door versus both doors equipped with push-button operation. Repaint the walls and doors using high-quality, durable paint suitable for a heavy traffic area and that can be washed as needed. (The brick wall in the right bathroom is NOT to be painted.) Install mirrors, soap dispensers, trash receptacles, paper towel dispensers and other standard bathroom accessories. Install energy-efficient lighting and ensure adequate illumination throughout the space. Install and/or upgrade exhaust fans for improved ventilation. Provide warranty and service information for any new fixtures and appliances installed. The selected contractor will be responsible for the demolition of existing structures, procurement of all necessary materials, and completion of the remodel within the agreed timeline.
