Library construction advances after Bountiful approval; GMP expected soon
Summary
Staff reported Bountiful City approved library construction plans, asbestos remediation is complete and the project is moving toward a guaranteed maximum price (GMP); city requested closing a nearby parking‑lot entry for safety.
Library staff said pre‑construction is nearly complete after Bountiful City approved plans and asbestos remediation is finished. The team expects a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) decision soon and said most subcontractor bids have been returned.
"They approved our plans...we will be removing the entry into the parking lot," Josh Johnson said, describing a city request to close a close‑proximity entry because of safety concerns near a crosswalk. Staff said the architect and contractor work continues and that adjustments to contracts will follow once the GMP is set.
Staff said the board should expect a fuller update at the next meeting once the GMP is finalized and contract adjustments are executed.
