Exhibit_E_-_Core_&_Shell_Drawings.pdf

This file is an exhibit document containing core and shell drawings for the Santa Cruz Downtown Library Tenant Improvements project in California. The drawings provide architectural and structural documentation of the existing building shell and core infrastructure that will serve as the foundation for the tenant improvement work. These plans are essential reference materials for prequalified contractors bidding on the project, as they illustrate the baseline conditions and structural elements upon which the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and low-voltage systems will be installed, along with interior partitions, glazing, ceilings, finishes, and other architectural elements.

The core and shell drawings are critical to the bidding process for contractors prequalified under RFQ #ED-2026-01, as they establish the existing conditions and spatial parameters for the extensive tenant improvement scope. Contractors must review these drawings in conjunction with the full Scope of Work to understand the building's existing mechanical, electrical, and structural systems that will be extended and modified to support the new downtown library's operations. These plans serve as the baseline for cost estimation and construction sequencing for all building systems, interior build-out elements, stairs, roof deck improvements, and specialized library components included in the project.
