Library board outlines next steps for cafe RFP and pre-proposal session
Summary
Board members said the RFP for a library cafe has been issued; a pre-proposal session will be held Monday in the library to show the space and answer vendor questions to attract local businesses to bid.
Board members reported progress on a request-for-proposal (RFP) for a library café and scheduled a pre-proposal meeting for prospective vendors.
Geraldo described a November meeting with the city purchasing agent and business-development staff who offered guidance on the RFP. The RFP package includes photos of the intended café location; the library will host a pre-proposal walk-through for interested vendors to view the space and ask questions on the coming Monday.
Staff said outreach has begun — the business development director sent a mass email to the chamber and contacted local eateries to encourage attendance; one local operator indicated she would consider attending the pre-proposal session. Board members and staff completed a walk-through to stage the space and improve appearance before the vendor visit.
Next steps: hold the scheduled pre-proposal session, accept vendor questions during that session, and proceed with the RFP timeline (RFP open through January, per staff comment).
