It will also include coordination of all in-scope work with the work self-performed by the Library including direct purchasing, move out, and storage. The Project construction budget is approximately $5,000,000, inclusive of all Construction Manager's costs. The Construction Manager will be expected to manage, direct, and construct all phases of the Project, and will provide the following services: cost estimating, budgeting, value engineering, scheduling, pre-construction planning, subcontract bidding and project safety, design-assist, and providing a guaranteed maximum price for each facility comprising the Project. The qualifications required for the Project include: competence to perform the required management services; ability in terms of workload and the availability of qualified personnel, equipment, and facilities; past performance; financial responsibility; history of performance with meeting subcontractor diversity goals; and other qualifications as described in the Request for Qualifications ("RFQ").

The project will consist of repairing the building envelope and providing new architectural finishes throughout the interior. The project will also include incorporating a Digital Innovation Center consisting of a classroom, program space, and technology in the building, which may be accomplished by expanding the building. The scope of the work will include cost estimating, lifecycle based engineering, and constructability reviews from Design Development through generation of the final GMP. It will also include coordination of all in-scope work with the work self-performed by the Library including FF&E purchases, computer and technology installation, signage, etc. The actual construction scope currently includes mechanical, electrical, plumbing, handicap accessibility, exterior wall remediation, roofing, interior renovation and improvements, exterior site work, installation of ADA compliant restrooms, and other items as determined by Owner.
