Edgerton Public Library Study Room Design and Construction Administration

The Edgerton Public Library (EPL) in Wisconsin is seeking qualified library consultants to design and prepare bid documents for two private study rooms within the library's existing second-floor space. The project requires comprehensive design services, including facility evaluation, two in-person design review meetings, creation of state-approved plans and specifications, and construction administration. Each study room is intended to accommodate four people for activities such as conference calls, tutoring sessions, small meetings, and job coaching. The procurement process involves submitting electronic proposals to Library Director Beth Krebs-Smith by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. Evaluation criteria will prioritize quality over price, focusing on relevant recent library project experience, knowledge of library services and future trends, cost efficiency, deadline compliance, budget management, stakeholder communication skills, and proposed pricing. Respondents must provide organizational information, identify project managers and key personnel, supply references from three completed public library projects, and disclose any potential litigation.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the procurement documents. The RFP does not indicate an incumbent vendor or existing technology requiring integration. While the exact budget is not specified, the cost proposal must be submitted as a lump-sum not-to-exceed amount covering all services including design, bidding, and construction management. The Edgerton Public Library, which is part of the Prairie Lakes Library System serving Rock, Walworth, Kenosha, and Racine counties, reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals and to modify RFP provisions at its sole discretion. The final contract award will be determined by the Library Board and Edgerton City Council following a recommendation from the Library Director. Potential bidders are expected to have demonstrated experience working with public libraries and the ability to provide comprehensive design and construction administration services for small-scale library improvement projects.
