Interior Renovation for Village Library

The Metropolitan Library System has initiated a procurement for an interior renovation project for the Village Library located at 10307 N. Pennsylvania Avenue in The Village, Oklahoma. The project involves a comprehensive interior renovation encompassing demolition, architectural modifications, mechanical and electrical system updates, and interior finish improvements. Key deliverables include reconfiguring adult fiction/nonfiction areas, children's and teen sections, study areas, meeting rooms, restrooms, and support spaces with specific requirements for flooring, ceiling tiles, lighting fixtures, and infrastructure updates. The procurement is structured as a single prime contract based on a stipulated price, with sealed bids to be received until 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on December 10, 2018. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for November 26 at 3:00 p.m. in Meeting Room B at the Village Library. Bid evaluation criteria include compliance with specifications, completion schedule, and pricing, with a preference for local Oklahoma County vendors if all other factors are equal. The project timeline indicates an anticipated award date of December 13, 2018, with construction to commence on January 21, 2019, and all work to be completed by March 1, 2019.

The procurement documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though local vendor preference is noted. A bid bond of 5% of the total bid price is required for projects exceeding $50,000, and bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including completed bid proposals, affidavits, and compliance documentation. The project will require contractors to handle permit costs and adhere to specific technical specifications, including detailed requirements for door hardware, carpet installation, and interior book drop configurations. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant investment in modernizing the library's interior environment. The project is being managed by the Metropolitan Library System, with architectural and engineering design by LWPB Architecture and Alvine Engineering. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to implement complex interior renovation work, including electrical, mechanical, and architectural modifications, with careful attention to specified material and installation requirements.
