Return to Information for Architects, Contractors, and Consultants
The Seattle Public Library Capital Program Office is accepting qualifications from experienced General Contractors who wish to become eligible to bid on the construction of two branch libraries, the Montlake and Southwest branches, located in Seattle, Washington. The estimated value of work for these contracts is currently between $2.1 million and $2.55 million for the Montlake Branch project, and between $3.66 million and $3.84 million for the Southwest Branch project. These projects will be awarded as separate contracts to the lowest qualified bidder of each project.
The Montlake Branch project consists of demolition of three single-family residences, construction of a 3,100-square-foot partial basement garage and a 3,100-square-foot library with additional 950 square feet of office and 1,000 square feet of meeting room and restrooms. The project is located on a sloped site and includes a storm and surface water detention system.
The Southwest Branch project consists of a partial demolition of the existing 8,213-square-foot building, renovation of the remaining portion of the existing building and an addition of a two-story expansion, resulting in a 15,000-square-foot building. This project also includes installation of a hydraulic passenger elevator and an access flooring system.
The Library will conduct a pre-submittal conference at 1 p.m. Monday, May 23, 2005, in the Washington Mutual Foundation Meeting Room 1, level 4 at the Central Library, 1000 Fourth Ave., Seattle, WA 98104.
The Seattle Public Library will open its 15th completed Libraries for All project Saturday, May 14 in Ballard. The Library is proud of its strong relationship with architects, contractors and subcontractors, which has resulted in award-winning buildings. The Library expects the second half of the Libraries for All building program to be equally successful and encourages participation by qualified general contractors.
