Summary

Staff reported the North capital project has cost estimates and a pre‑bid site visit completed and is on track for summer construction; the South project remains in schematic design and is expected to move into design development within weeks.

A staff member updated the board on two capital improvement projects funded through the bond program.

Regarding the North project, staff said they received construction cost estimates and held a pre‑bid site visit with prospective contractors; finishes for furniture and flooring will be finalized before bidding and construction is likely to begin this summer depending on contracting. On the South project, staff said schematic design remains in progress and is tracking behind North because South is a larger project; recent meetings focused on the teen area and maker space and staff expect to finish schematic design and move into design development within the next month or two.

"We're probably looking at having construction this summer," the staff member said about North. The staff update included plans to test furniture at other sites or with vendor samples and to coordinate construction schedules to minimize disruption to summer library programs. No formal board action was taken during the update.
