Public Library Expansion and Renovation

The work to be performed by the CONSULTANT consists of preparing preliminary and final for bid plans, specifications, and estimate for the library expansion and renovation. This project will utilize federal funding provided through the American Rescue Plan Act to partially fund the project and thus is subject to all federal project requirements. Phase 1 of the project entails preliminary designs for the expansion and renovation to support a grant application. Phase 2, final design for bid plans, will be determined if the City is successful in its grant application. The Walla Walla Public Library was built in 1970 and is 19,000 SF. The library serves a population of approximately 30,000. The majority of the library is original to the 1970s and has not been renovated except for a 5,000 SF children’s addition in 2006. The library’s total material holdings are approximately 100,000.
