Sumner Library Construction Bid Set

This is a bid set document from the Pierce County Library System (PCLS), a junior taxing district serving unincorporated Pierce County and 15 annexed cities and towns in Washington State with a total population of 680,000. The project scope encompasses site preparation, development, and construction of a new 17,133 square foot public library facility on a 73,573 square foot parcel located at 15126 Main Street East in Sumner, Washington. Work includes removal of existing preload surcharge and related earthwork, site development in conformance with City of Sumner zoning regulations and East Main Street design guidelines, construction of new parking areas and associated site improvements on the south portion of the site, utility extensions and connections, and construction of a fully enclosed, conditioned public library building with all structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and life safety systems. The bid set serves as the comprehensive procurement document for general contractors to submit proposals for the complete design-build or construction services required to deliver the project.

The document provides detailed construction drawings and specifications that establish the technical requirements and standards governing all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete the project. Bidders are required to comply with all conditions indicated in the construction documents and specifications. The project represents a significant infrastructure investment by the PCLS to expand library services and facilities in the Sumner area, with construction requirements addressing both site conditions and the complete buildout of a modern public facility meeting applicable building codes and local design standards.
