This is a Proposed Schedule document for the City of Fort Worth's Downtown Library design and construction project located on the 900 Block of Summit Street in Fort Worth, Texas. The project encompasses the design and construction of approximately 22,000 to 30,000 square feet of library space, including community rooms, storage, and multipurpose areas, with a planned expansion capability. The scope includes demolition of three existing structures, associated retaining walls, and existing parking areas, as well as green site improvements incorporating sustainability, landscape, stormwater management, and pedestrian circulation enhancements. The selected architectural and engineering firm will provide programming, architectural and engineering design services, audio-visual and security drawing coordination, budget estimation, and furniture and equipment recommendations. The project schedule spans from August 2026 through August 2029, with key phases including land acquisition (May-October 2026), design and engineering contracting (September 2026-February 2027), design phase (December 2026-October 2027), permitting (October 2027-January 2028), construction contracting (February-November 2027), and construction (November 2027-August 2029). The design phase includes schematic design (30%), design development (60%), and construction document (95%) milestones, with City Facilities and Workplace reviews following each phase.

The construction budget is approximately $25,000,000, with the City intending to solicit competitive bids from qualified general contractors following selection of the design firm through this Statement of Qualifications process. The project utilizes a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method, with a pre-construction services phase scheduled from April through August 2027, Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) receipt by October 2027, and management and coordination processes extending through November 2027. Construction is scheduled to commence November 28, 2027, with substantial completion targeted for May 21, 2029, final inspections and occupancy occurring in July 2029, and close-out activities concluding by August 8, 2029. The detailed schedule accounts for 15-day project initiation, 45-day programming phase, 307-day design phase, 90-day permitting period, 295-day construction contracting phase, and 616-day construction phase with final inspections and green sheet completion.
