Deliberate
Authorize Staff to Negotiate Contract with BSA Architects
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
There is no financial impact to the City by initiating the negotiation process.
Fee estimates submitted by the four finalist firms were from $822,245 -
$1,154.044.
eESCRlPTION:
The Screening Committee for the new Civic Center Library has recommended the design team led by BSA
Architects. Staff is requesting City Council approval to begin negotiations with BSA to develop a contract for
design of the project. At the conclusion of the negotiations, staff will bring the contract to the City Council
with an analysis of the financial impact to the City.
BACKGROUND:
In September 1998, the City Council approved the Library Planning Task Force Report. In the Report, the Task
Force recommended that a 37,000 square foot library be built at the Civic Center. The Task Force determined
that a central facility constructed at the Civic Center would best serve all the residents of Dublin.
The City Council at its December IS, 1998, meeting directed staff to circulate a Request for Proposals for a
design team for the library. At that same meeting they appointed Councilmember Claudia McCormick to serve
on the Library Screening Committee. The Library Screening Committee was comprised of the City Manager,
Parks & Community Services Director, the Community Development Director and the City Project Manager.
The Library Screening Committee reviewed five Proposals from respected architectural firms as follows: Noll
& Tam; BSA; Frants Albert; Esherick Homsey Dodge & Davis; and Group 4. Four of the firms were then

to $1,154.044.
The fee estimates provided b~ the final four firms for the project ranged from $833,26
Prior to the Screening Committee makinlits final recommendation to the City Council, the Committee visited
two libraries designed by BSA. Although the original schedule for hiring the architect did not include site
visits, the Screening Committee felt it was important to see previous projects and interview current users.
As a result of the interview process and site visits the Screening Committee unanimously recommends the
selection ofBSA's design team which includes the following companies: Kathryn Page, Library Programming;
Carducci Landscape Architects; Forell/Elsesser Engineers, Structural Engineers; O'Mahony & Myer, Electrial
and Lighting Engineering; Guttman & Blaevoet, Mechanical Engineering; Davis Langdon Adamson, Cost
Analysis; Charles M. Salter Associates, Acoustical Engineer; and Ruggieri Jensen Azar, Civil Engineer.
The Proposal:
BSA's proposal (Exhibit 1) provides for designing the library in seven phases as follows:
1. Development of the Library Building Program. This phase will include data collection and analysis, library
staff interviews, a series of public input meetings, analysis of space components for the library, and a
presentation to the City Council of the draft report. During this phase BSA will also develop a budget for
the project based on input from Library and City staff.
2. Conducting a visioning session with the City Council. BSA would conduct a study session with the City .
Council to develop goals for the development of the library. The goals would range from the objective
issues, such as parking needs to the more subjective, such as aesthetics, character and integration into the
community .
3. Development of a Conceptual Design with a presentation to the Citv Council. This would include the
development of site design alternatives, and conceptual floor plan alternatives that begin to develop the tone
of the building. During this phase BSA would meet with staff, any committee that is developed and make a
presentation of the conceptual design and site alternatives to the City Council. Additionally, during this
phase the first cost estimate would be developed.
4. Development of a Schematic Design with a presentation to the City Council. During this phase BSA would
build upon the conceptual design approved by the City Council. The building will begin to take shape, with
interior and exterior architectural elements, a material board and landscaping for the site. The schematic
design would be presented to the City Council along with a new cost estimate.
5. Desilrn Development (Final Design) with a presentation to the City Council. BSA would further refine the
schematic design into a more fully developed project for the City Council's approval prior to construction
drawings. It would be at this point that the overall design of the building would be set and approved. An
engineer's estimate would be presented based on the final design.
6. Development of Construction Drawings. BSA would prepare the bid set for the City based on the final
design approved under Phase 5, above. The bid set would include the required engineer's estimate. The
.
2
.
plans would be presented to the City Council along with the cost estimate for authorization to go to bid on
the Library.
7. Construction Administration. BSA vAn provide construction support and assistance during the construction
of the Library.
Should the City Council recommend that the City Staff negotiate a contract with BSA Architects, staff will, at
the same time, work with BSA to develop a public participation plan for the project. That public participation
plan will be brought for the City Council approval at the time the City Council hears the staff report on the
contract with BSA Architects.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive a presentation from staff and BSA, deliberate and authorize City
Staff to negotiate a contract with BSA Architects.

RE: New Civic Center Library
Dear Ms. Ram,
The Library for the New Millennium: a center for knowledge; a temple of thought; a place accessible to
the entire community in Dublin, whether it be an obscure book on genealogy or the latest Euro quote off
the internet.
BSA Architects would be happy to meet the challenge with you of designing the City of Dublin's New
Library. Our project team has strong experience in award winning library architecture and is skilled in
working to develop programs that meet a growing and vibrant community's needs.
While we believe in the primacy of coherent and lasting design, we are mindful of budgetary and
scheduling constraints. We are well versed in coordinating the efforts of groups of individuals to reach a
consensus on goals for programming, design and budget priorities. We believe in the public participation
process, and work closely with Kathryn Page, our highly respected library consultant, to facilitate public
forums to involve the entire community in the design process.
"""
BSA Architects (formerly Bull Stockwell & Allen) was founded in 1968 on these basic and primary goals:
1) to build architecture that is responsive to human needs; 2) to create designs that respect the
environment; and 3) to create buildings for people, paying close attention to issues of scale, circulation
and space, making the facility welcoming and comfortable for both users and staff.
Our work has been recognized with over 70 national and local design awards. Weare particularly proud
to have been selected by the California Council of the American Institute of Architects for their 1989
Firm Award, given in recognition of our overall body of work. Other recognition includes a Presidential
Design Award and a special award from the State for accessible design.
We would be delighted to work with the City of Dublin on this exciting project, and would welcome the
opportunity to discuss our qualifications and your project in further detail.
Sincerely,
~

Proposed Scope of Services
1.1 Statement of Project
Understanding
It is our understanding that The Gtyof Dublin is interested
m:
. Development of a new Central library to be locat-
ed at the Gvic Center site, so as to best serve the entire
conunuruty.
· The new library should be approximately 37,000
square feet in area, but will begin operation in phases,
with 20,000 sf opening by the year 2003, and the
remaining area by 2010.
. The new library should address current and antici-
pated technologies for the distribution of information.
These include books, tapes, periodicals and Q) roms,
as well as networked connections to the Internet and
other coming services
. The site is approximately 4 acres, but may not be
large enough to acconunodate the required parking for
the new facility.
. In addition to the library, the new building should
provide areas for "Friends of the library" storage and
workspace, and for community meeting rooms.
We are advocates of the collaborative design process, both
within our architectural team and with of our clients and
consultants. Your library staff and other assigned commit-
tee members will be an essential part of our team and will
be closely involved throughout the entire feasibility study
and design process. We also encourage comnmnity partici-
pation, and are well versed in the facilitation of public
workshops and presentations.
BSA Architects approach each project as a unique
challenge and opportunity, and your library will be an
exciting project for us all. We strongly believe that our
designs must satisfy all of your specific needs, while allow-
ing the flexibility for future change and growth. The designs
should be compatible with the existing structures, while
expanding the identity of the library system within the com-
nnuuty.
We explore alternatives rather than imposing a
pre-determined solution on our clients. During the
initial phase of the process, we would twically present a
series of design options for the organization of the compo~
nents of the existing and potentially expanded buildings to
your committee, and review the pros and cons of each
alternative as a means of arriving at the most viable solu-
tion.
We take your budget and schedule seriously. As
soon as the overall budget and schedule are firmlyestab-
lished, we will set up a project worksheet, which takes into
account all of the aspects of the project including estimated
building and site construction costs, fees and permits, con-
struction management and testing, furnishings, equipment
and cabling and change order contingencies. Working with
you, we will review these estimates, and work to help deter-
mine the actual extent of new construction and renovation
that can be accomplished with the available funding and
timeline.
Our team keeps current on the latest technologies.
We recognize that the definition of a public library and its
role in the comnmnity is evolving rapidly at the present
time, and will likely continue to do so as new technologies
for the distribution of information are introduced. We will
work with your staff to see that the design is flexible so that
it can acconunodate changes that will arise, both in terms of
the layout of the spaces and collection, and in the distribu-
tion of data.

Adamson Associates. As the project moves to actualization,
the other team members will become more involved.
Phase I:
Programming &
Site Assessment
Task 1.0 Project Initiation. The consultant will
initiate the project, confirm each participant's role and
responsibilities and set up a system for documenting the
project and organizing communication.
Subtasks:
1.1 Project Kickoff Meeting.
The consultant will convene a kick-off meeting, attended
by key participants. The group will review and confirm the
project schedule. Initial assignments will be identified and
comnmnications lines will be established among project
participants. Minutes will be kept and distributed.
1.2 Initial Site Tour.
The consultant and Dublin librarian (Community Library
Supervisor) will tour the existing library site to introduce
the consultant to key issues and problems
1.3 Meeting Schedule.
The consultant will share with the Dublin librarian and
other key project participants an initial list of interviews
and meetings to be scheduled.
1.4 Phasing Discussion.
The consultant and key participants will review the two-
phase plan so the consultant understands the Oty's and the
Library's needs related to this issue and can incorporate the
phasing into the project from the beginning.
Task 2.0 Data Collection & Analysis. The
consultant will work with Gtyand Alameda Co1U1ty Library
staff to collect pertinent quantitative data regarding demo-
graphics of the Dublin comnmnity and use of the Library.
Subtasks:
2.1 Review Existing Studies.
The consultant will gather and review any existing studies,
reports or planning documents regarding the services and
operations of the Dublin Library and the Alameda Co1U1ty
Library to become familiar with any previous planning
efforts and goals and objectives for the library in Dublin.
2.2 Gather & Analyze Community Demographic
Data. The consultant will gather and organize demograph-
ic data for the Dublin community, both current and project-
ed, to develop a profile of the Library's service population.
This information will be used to guide the development of
recommendations for collection growth, recommendations
on seating capacity, types of seats and other recommenda-
tions. The consultant will gather statistics offered by the
Association of Bay Area Governments, the State
Department of Finance, the Otyof Dublin and other
sources, as needed.
2.3 Gather and Analyze Library Use Statistics.
The consultant will work with Library staff to gather and
analyze any and all pertinent library use indicators, including
current collection size, circulation levels, collection turnover
rates, daily visitor C01U1ts, number of reference and infor-
mational questions, number of Library programs given and
attendance at programs. The consultant and Library staff
will discuss issues and trends to determine their significance
in relation to the Library's space needs.

2.4 Confirm Current Library Spaces.
The consultant and her assistant will confirm the existing
Libraris space allocations, amount of shelving, average
volumes per shelf, seating capacity, staff work areas and
other components, to establish a baseline against which to
calculate and confirm the Libraris future space needs.
2.5 Gather and Interpret Staffing Level Data.
The consultant will interview Library staff regarding cur-
rent and projected staffing levels to ensure that the build-
ing is programmed to accommodate that staff, both initial-
lyand in 2010. In addition, the consultant will be able to
use this information to appropriately program service desk
configurations and include pertinent direction regarding
space adjacencies and sight line requirements.

Task 3.0 Conduct Library Staff
Interviews.
The consultant will interview key Library staff to become
familiar with the problems and obstacles to providing the
desired level of public service at the existing Library and
to gain understanding of the direction the Library plans to
pursue in providing service in the future. The different
perspectives of each staff member and staff working
group will enable the consultant to form a three dimen-
sional "portrait" of both the libraris current service pro-
file and the ideal service profile desired by staff.
3.1 Individual Sessions. The consultant will schedule
and conduct individual interviews with the Dublin
Librarian (Community Library Supervisor), Adult Program
Librarian, Children's Program Librarian, Young Adult
Program Librarian and Library Grculation Supervisor.
Each person will be asked a series of questions designed
to elicit their perception of what aspects of the existing
library are successful and what features need to change.
The consultant will meet later in the project to review with
these individuals the issues they raised and the portions of
the building program that respond to their issues.
3.2 Group Sessions.
The consultant will meet with the Library's Grculation staff,
Children's staff and Adult Reference staff in three groups,
to elicit their input on the library's issues and needs. These
sessions will be coordinated with the individual interviews
so the consultant will be able to hear all perspectives and
get feedback from staff at various levels.
Task 4.0 Conduct Public Input Meetings.
The consultant will work with Gtyand Library staff to plan
and conduct a series of public input meetings.
4.1 Plan and Advertise Public Meetings.
The consultant will work with city and Library staff to iden-
tify key constituencies within the Dublin comnnmity to
invite to public input meetings. The group will decide which
sessions should be invitation only and which open to all,
best times and dates, advertising strategies and other topics
related to the success of the meetings. The consultant and
her assistant will prepare publicity materials, press releases
and, in some cases, invite individuals to each session.
4.2 Facilitate Meetings.
The consultant will organize and facilitate each public meet-
ing, to draw from each group the priorities and needs of
the constituency they represent. Sessions will be held either
at the existing library or at another easily accessible location.
4.3 Summarize and Publish Meeting Minutes.
The consultant will prepare minutes after each public meet-
ing that expresses the recommendations and perspectives of
each group's participants. These will be shared with the Gty
and the Library and will later be incorporated into the
building program as an appendix.

4.4 Special Interest Groups.
The consultant will meet with any special interest groups,
such as the Friends of the Library, whose input nrust be
incolporated. The consultant will confer with Library staff
before and after these sessions to ensure that the groups'
desires are coherent with Library goals and objectives
Task 5.0 General Design Considerations.
The consultant will prepare a narrative set of general design
considerations for the exterior and the interior of the new
Library facility. These will include requirements concerning
all building systems and infrastructure, acoustical and light-
ing, safety and security, shelving, furnishings and numerous
others aspects of the facility. This narrative will be one of
the major components of the building program
5.1 Building Maintenance Interviews.
The consultant will interview Gtyand Library personnel
with maintenance responsibilities for the Library building,
as appropriate; to learn about problems with the existing
building and to identify required and! or desired specifica-
tions. Any Gty standards or specifications can be incolpo-
rated into the program, as needed.
5.2 Prepare Draft.
The consultant will write a first draft for Gtyand Library
reVlew:
Task 6.0 Space Component &
Adjacency Recommendations.
Using the information gathered in tasks 2, 3 and 4, the con-
sultant will prepare recommendations for target collection
size, seating, computer equipment and adjacency diagrams
for Gty and Library review:
6.1 Prepare Collec tion Size
& Shelving Recommendations.
The consultant will develop a recommended profile for the
collection in the target planning year, tied to the anticipated
Dublin comnmnity profile, linked to various recognized size
standards for public libraries and related to current trends in
public library collection development. These recommenda-
tions will be reviewed and confirmed or adjusted by Library
staff.
Assumptions about shelving types and heights for each part
of the collection, as well as percentage of shelves in use in
the target -planning year, will also be decided.
6.2 Prepare Seating Gtpacity Recommendations.
The consultant will develop recommendations for seating
capacities in each part of the Library, for Library review:
These will be based on recognized seating standards for
public libraries, as well as emerging trends being observed
in current library construction and the information gathered
in earlier tasks.
6.3 Prepare Technology Recommendations.
The consultant will prepare recommendations for quantities
of computer 'WOrkstations, for the public and staff, for
Library review: These will be tied to the Library's service
goals and objectives, any existing technology plans and on
trends in current public library panning.
6.4 Phasing Recommendations.
The consultant will organize the Library's spaces into Phase
I and Phase II components, based on the 'WOrk performed
in earlier tasks, so that the program can be understood in
terms of elements required in 2003 and elements to be
added in 2010.
6.5 Develop Functional Relationship Diagrams.
The consultant will prepare diagrams that illustrate the rela-
tionships and adjacencies between the various spaces within
the Library and present to Library staff for review: These
will be refined and adjusted for inclusion in the program

Task 7.0 Building Program
Preparation & Presentation.
The consultant will write all narrative portions of the build-
ing program and assemble them, along with the other sec.
tions of the document. These will be submitted for Gty
and Library review; until the final program is approved. The
consultant will present the final draft program to the
Dublin Gty Cbuncll.
7.1 Write Narrative Space Descriptions.
The consultant will write one-page narrative descriptions
for each functional space of the new Library. Each of these
will also contain a list of the space's components with
square feet required, adjacencies and special considerations.
7.2 - 7.9 Daft Progam Review and Approvals.
The consultant will assemble and print a first administrative
draft of the program.
Task 8.0 Analysis of the
Existing Site & Constraints
8.1 Prepare an Analytical Base Plan. We will start
from the Gtys survey of the existing Gvic Center site, and
prepare an analytical base plan, mapping the other factors
that might influence our design. These include required set-
backs, diagrams of noise and climatic factors, diagrams of
existing vehicular and pedestrian flow patterns and block
footprints of the building and required parking.
8.2 Review City's Guidelines. It will also be important
at this early stage to meet with the Gty's planning staff, so
that we can learn of any other zoning or environmental
constraints on the site. We need to look at maximum foot-
print, setback, FAR and height restrictions, as well as the
Oty's guidelines for determining parking requirements.
Task 9.0 Project Budget and Schedule
9.1 Establish a Firm Schedule and Budget. We will
meet with representatives of the Gty and Cbunty library
administration staff to establish a firm schedule and budget
for the project. This will be an important part of our first
presentation, and will help form the guide for our later
phases of work We will draw upon your initial task force
report, augmented by additional information from our cost
consultants to set up a working budget document that takes
into account anticipated costs for construction, fees and
permits, construction management, tests and inspections,
furnishings and equipment, moving and change order con.
tingencies. If additional land is required, we will also need
to include acquisition costs in our overall budget.
9.2 We Will Work With You. We will also work with
staff to refine the schedule submitted with this document
so that it best represents both the Oty's requirements and a
realistic assessment of the time required for each phase of
work Should environmental review be required, we will
need to adjust the schedule accordingly. Similarly, if the
project is dependent on any additional fundraising, we will
need to input time for that. Finally, we will work with you
to work the schedule so that we can hopefully work towards
a winter bid and spring construction start, which are most
advantageous in terms of facilitating construction progress.

Phase II: Visioning
This Phase involves our facilitation of a public study ses-
sion with the Gty O:>uncil, at which we would also hope
that all of the key participants of Phase I would also be
involved. Our role would be to present the building pro-
gram and site analysis as developed in Phase I, and then to
solicit input from the O:>uncil and other interested parties,
as to their goals for the library.
Among other issues we will raise for discussion will be:
. Integrate into the Conununity: How the library
should be integrated into the Gvic Center and the
COmmurllty
. Parking: How to address the issue of providing
adequate parking without overwhelming the site
. Relate to the Civic Center: How the library's
architectural character should relate to the existing
Gvic Center
. Technology: How to include the latest technology
. The Feel of the Place: How the character of the
various rooms inside the library should feel for
patrons.
Our role will be to provide information on the building
program and site, to initiate discussion on various aspects of
the project, and to sununarize the input of the O:>uncil and
other participants into a goals document for the project
committee to work from We will provide handouts and
wall charts, and work with a flip chart during the session.
Mark Schatz, Vince Lattanzio and Kathy Page will
facilitate this work session. The output will be a vision
statement and a list of goals for the project.
Phase III:Conceptual Design Alternatives
Task 1.0 Development of Site Alternatives
1.1 Study Alternative Potential Locations. We will
first look at alternative potential locations for the new
library at the Gvic Center site. We want to approach this
effort with an open-minded attitude, so that we are not
locked into the location illustrated in the report document
as the only choice. For example, it may be worth looking at
some reconfiguration of the parking lot so that the new
library and existing city hall can have a better pedestrian
relationship and more of a sense of creating an overall
Gvic Center.
1.2 Review Sites with City. We will review these siting
options with yuur committee to discuss the pros and cons
of each, including potential cost implications of the differ-
ent alternatives.
Task 2.0 Conceptual Plan Alternatives
2.1 Space Configuration Diagrams. While we are
looking at site options, we will look at the building's organi-
zation and the preferred relationships between the various
components of the building program We will start with
bubble diagrams which simply address issues of adjacency,
and expand these into more accurate space configuration
diagrams, that incorporate the actual size relationships of
the spaces involved.
2.2 Develop Plan Alternatives. Once a few organiza-
tional alternatives are selected, we will match these to the
site development studies, and create a series of actual plan
alternatives which incorporate the site constraints at each
potential location and the actual room layuuts and configu-
rations.
2.3 Review with Committee. We will meet with yuur
committee a couple of times to look at these design
options, discuss them, and decide on the three preferred
directions for further study. We will review interior build.
out phasing options for each.

2.4 Present Options. We will prepare presentation draw-
ings of the three preferred alternatives including site plans
and diagrammatic floor plans.
2.5 Project Cost Estimate. We feel it is also important
to do a conceptual construction and overall project cost
estimate at this phase, and will bring in our construction,
cost consultants to work with us on this task Overall proj-
ect costs include construction, fees and permits, furnishings
and equipment, and contingencies.
2.6 Present to City Council. We will present these
materials to Gty Council for their review and input in a
public session. The goal is that the council will make a rec-
ommendation as to the preferred option. It will be impor-
tant for members of the project steering committee to
voice their opinions as well during this session, so that the
council can better understand the process that led to these
three choices, and the preferences of the members.
Phase IV: Schematic Design
Task 1.0 Design Services
1.1 Schematic Design Phase. Once a preferred scheme
is selected by Gty Council, we will proceed with the
schematic design phase of the project. During this phase,
our main objectives will be to resolve the functional aspects
of the design, to develop an architectural vocabulary for the
exterior and interior of the building and determine the
most appropriate systems for constructing the building.
1.2 Landscape & Civil Consultants. Our landscape
architect and civil engineer will prepare the schematic site
drawings including a layout plan illustrating the relationships
of the building, parking, paving and open areas, a landscap-
ing plan and a grading, drainage and utility plan. We will
also meet with your city's park and recreation staff to dis-
cuss the most appropriate plant materials, and prepare a
preliminary planting palate.
1.3 Other Consultants. Our other consulting engineers
will prepare diagrammatic plans and scope of work descrip~
tions for structural, mechanical and electrical systems. In
addition, we will assemble literature on possible lighting fix-
tures and data distribution systems.
Task 2.0 Other Services
2.1 Schematic Outline Specification. We will prepare
a schematic outline specification, which describes the sys-
tems and materials for estimating purposes.
2.2 Develop a Materials Board. We will develop a
materials board for the proposed exterior finishes, and a
colored elevation drawing illustrating the finishes.
2.3 Code Search on the Building. We will do a code
search on the building, and will meet with representatives of
your planning department, building department and fire
department to ascertain their requirements relative to exit-
ing, construction type, etc.
2.4 Permit Application. Should planning review be
required, we will assemble the necessary documentation to
support the permit applications.
2.5 Overall Project Cost Estimate. Based on the mate-
rials described herein, our cost estimators will create a
schematic construction and overall project cost estimate.

Task 3.0 Presentation
3.1 Review with Your Staff. We will meet on a regular
basis, typically every 2 to 3 weeks, with your assigned proj-
ect steering conunittee and library staff representatives dur-
ing the course of this phase to review the development of
the design, selection of materials and other related issues.
3.2 A Formal Presentation. Upon completion, we will
make a formal presentation to Gty Council for their
approval.
Phase V: Design Development
Task 1.0 Design and Documentation
1.1 Based on the approval of Council, we will proceed with
the further development of the design.
1.2 We will meet with your conunittee to compare the esti-
mates with the proposed budget, and work together to
make any necessary alterations to the project scope, phasing
or design so that the budget can be met. We will also meet
again with library staff to ensure that the functional aspects
of the design are optimized, and make any necessary plan
changes to see that their needs are met. We will document
the preferred phasing option clearly, so that it can be under-
stood and priced out in the cost estimates.
1.3 We will work closely with our consulting engineers to
see that the building systems are more fully defined, inte-
grated and coordinated.
1.4 We will also work with your conunittee on interior
design issues, including shelving layout and specifications,
furnishing and equipment programs, finishes and colors.
This will result in schedules and color boards for presenta-
tion to council.
Task 2.0 Other Services
2.1 We will prepare and present a more detailed design
development project cost estimate, including construction
costs for building and site development, broken into phases,
and all other related project costs. This estimate will be
more thorough than the schematic version, and will be
based on accurate quantity take-offs and unit prices.
2.2 We will prepare interiors boards, illustrating proposed
furnishings, shelving systems, colors and materials for pres-
entation to council.
Task 3.0 Presentations
3.1 We will continue to meet regularly, although less fre-
quendy, with your project steering conunittee, to review
design decisions, interiors options, cost implications and
other project issues.
3.2 At the end of this phase, we will make another presen-
tation to the Gty Council, to gain their approval to move
forward with the construction documentation.

Phase VI: Construction Documents
Task 1.0 Documents for
Bidding and Construction
1.1 Based on approval from Council, we will commence
with the preparation of construction docwnents for the
library. We will do any necessary value engineering revisions
to ensure that the estimate and budget are in line, and will
make any final programmatic or other functional adjust-
ments to the plans.
1.2 We will coordinate the efforts of all of our team mem-
bers, and add to the mix consultants for graphics / signage,
acoustics and Title 24 energy analysis.
1.3 We will have a follow-up meeting with building and fire
department representatives to confirm our plan check
assumptions and see that their needs are met, prior to sub-
mitting to them for plan checking.
1.4 We will finalize furnishing and equipment selections,
budgets and phasing plans.
1.5 We will update the construction and project cost esti-
mates at the 50%, 80% and 100% points.
1.6 We will submit the docwnents for the necessary plan
checks, and pick up any required revisions prior to going
out to bid. During this review period, we will also work
with you to develop a list of potential bidders, and make
sure that they are all well informed as to the scope and
schedule for the project. By identifying quality contractors
and notifying them of the project in advance, we have a
better chance of getting a strong builder for the project.
Task 2.0 Presentations
2.1 We will meet approximately 3-4 times with your com-
mittee and staff during this phase, primarily to review any
design changes and finalize interior and exterior color and
finish selections. We will also review any proposed alter-
nates to the base bid.
2.2 At the end of the phase, we can, if required, make a
final presentation to council.

Phase VII: Bidding and Construction
Administration
Task 1.0 Bidding Support
1.1 We will work with your designated construction manager
to see that the documents are made available for all interest-
ed contractors and plan rooms for bidding.
1.2 During the bid phase, we will receive questions from
interested bidders, and assist your construction manager in
the preparation and issuance of addenda to clarify issues
and respond to the questions.
1.3 We will assist in the interpretation and review of the
bids, once received.
Task 2.0 Construction Support
2.1 We will attend regularly scheduled jobsite meetings,
which will be overseen by your construction manager. Our
budget is based on bi-weekly meetings, which is typical for a
project of this nature.
2.2 We will review all shop drawing submittals for confor-
mance with design intent.
2.3 We will respond to requests for information and issue
architects supplemental instructions as issues arise which
require clarification or further information.
2.4 We will coordinate with your construction manager on
the review of monthly payment requests from the contrac-
tor, and work with him on any other assessments of degree
of completion.
2.5 Other team members will visit the site at scheduled
intervals to review the work's status. In particular, the struc-
tural engineer will review the work at key stages in the com-
pletion for conformance with the requirements.
2.6 When the project is nearing completion, we will walk
through with the construction manager and superintendent
to prepare a punch list of outstanding items.
2.7 We will review the request for substantial completion.
2.8 We will perlorm other related services in support of the
construction team, per the terms of the standard AlA
owner/ architect agreement. It is important for us to point
out that we view this process as one of partnering, and that
we strive to avoid antagonistic or confrontational relation-
ships during the sometimes trying phase of construction.
Task 3.0 As-Built Plans
3.1 Typically, we review as-builts prepared by the contrac-
tors. However, you have requested that we create these doc-
uments ourselves.
3.2 We will need to acquire from the contractor, their job-
site plans, with all changes clearly noted. We will pick up
those changes in our CAD drawings in order to execute an
as-built set for the city's records.

This new to,OOO square foot library houses adult, young
adult and reference collections in a main gallery space, sur-
rounded by light filled alcoves for reading and study which
open out onto views of the surrounding hills. One of the
highlights of the library is the children's room where the
walls are covered with murals of children's literary charac-
ters, and there are cozy window seats and a story telling
alcove. Near the entry lobby, there is a large public meeting
room, equipped for state of the art teleconferencing and
video presentations with its own kitchen and storage areas.
In addition to a series of differently sized reading areas, we
have provided for as many as of 50 multi-media personal
computer workstations and have installed a flexible electri-
cal system to accommodate fiber optic cable, wireless com-
munication and other impending advances in the technolo-
gy of information delivery.
This project was completed on schedule and below budget.
BSA provided full architectural and planning services,
including facilitation of public meetings and fundraising
work.

This to,OOO square foot
librat:y was carefully sited atop
a knoll in central Fairfax, so as
to fit between a cluster of
existing live oak trees. The
building wraps around its cov-
ered entry to create a welcom-
ing courtyard. The program
includes adult and children's reading areas, staff rooms,
stacks, study niches and a public meeting room which can
be operated after hours.
One of the goals in this project was to create a variety of
sitting and reading spaces for adults and children, including
bay windows with benches in the adult stack areas, and a
skylit, glazed window seat in the children's room which
opens out to the wooded site beyond. After almost thirty
yeats of use, this library remains as popular as ever, and
feels as if it was always on the site.

Marin City Branch, Marin County
Free Library
Marin City, California
Construction
Cost: $470,000
Completed:
December 1996

Assistant County
Librarian

This new 4,000 sq ft library was built as a pivotal part of
the new Marin City USA redevelopment project. The over-
all project includes a retail shopping center, housing, a
church and this library. A major portion of the construction
cost for the facility was donated by the developer.
While small by library standards, this project took on enor-
mous political importance, as it was promoted as an essen-
tial part in the potential rebirth of this underprivileged
community. Special attention was paid to addressing com-
munity concerns, and we worked closely with local residents
in the planning and fundraising process.
BSA Architects also worked with the county library staff in
designing a completely flexible space which serves as library
and community meeting space, and as an educational and
training facility for nearby residents.
An innovative program at this library is the Webstars, which
teaches local, middle school children to serve as "Internet
Ambassadors" for others who use the library. We designed
the library to accommodate a large number of computer
workstations, with the flexibility to be relocated anywhere
within the space, based on changing demands.
Since completion of the Marin City Library, we have been
retained by the Marin County Library administration to
design three additional branch facilities in South Novato,
Stinson Beach and Bolinas. The South Novato branch
opened a month ago, and Stinson and Bolinas should be
open by next summer.

We have recently completed design development work for a
new 13,500 square foot branch library which will be part of
a 40,000 square foot community facility in a new park out-
side Sacramento. The library will include adult and chil-
dren's collections as well as study, reading and computer
work areas. This library will be the second phase of a larger
complex which also includes a large gym and fitness center,
childcare room and public meeting / activity rooms.
This will be the third library for the City of Roseville. and is
primarily intended to serve the new population moving into
the northwest side of the City, mainly young families and
seruors.

Danville Library & Community Center
Danville, California
Construction Cost: $4 million. Completed: 1996
Bull Stockwell Allen c"'Riplry (Cynthia Riplry principal in charge)
The new 18,000 square foot Danville Library and 7,000
square foot Community Center were designed as a civic
complex surrounding a one acre town green, Set back. from
the street, the buildings establish a formal yet welcommg
civic center which this small suburban town had previously
lacked for town wide events, The library itself houses adult
and children's services in large open rooms filled with day~
light from windows overlooking the town green. In addition
to comfortable reading rooms, the library provides 50 on-
line work stations for children and adults.
The DanviIle Library and Community Center draws upon
the regional architectural heritage in a fresh way, working
with its site and context to create a civic and cultural center
for this growing suburban community, Plaster walls, deeply
recessed window openings, timber overhangs and details
and tile roofs evoke a historical tradition of architecture
found in regional public buildings of California, The land~
scape defmes places of entry and public assembly su~h as
the seat wall overlooking the town green or the functlon
terrace which spills out of the community center and pro-
vides a focal point for public gathering adjacent to the
library entry,

We have been working with representatives of the City of
Cupertino and the Santa Clara County library administration
in the development of alternative scenarios for the develop-
ment of a new library in their existing Civic Center, We are
studying two alternative program configurations, .one. at
70,000 sf and one at 55,000 sf, having worked w1th library
staff to develop a reduced option from their original pro-
gram document.
In both cases, we developed a series of design alternatives,
and presented them to the project committee for re,view
and comment. Both final schemes involve the creation of a
new civic center master plan, reorganizing parking and cre-
ating a new civic plaza shared by the city hall, library and
renovated existing library,
In the second phase of our study, which has just started, we
are looking at options for the adaptive reuse of the existing
library, as well as working with staff to refine our conceptu-
al designs so that we can prepare construction and project
cost estimates for each.
We are also currently working with the City of Concord on
a master plan and cost analysis study for their new library,
which will likely be in the range of 35,000 square feet. One
alternative under study is the creation of a larger shared
facility with JFK University, which would be arOlUld a
60,000 square foot building.

Budget: $9,600,000
Current Status: Master Planning Phase Completed
in assaiation Wth N d1 & T amA nhitects
We have recendy completed work with a 40 person citizen
and staff committee to study the feasibility of new and ren-
ovated comnnmity facilities for the city of Pinole. We have
studied four different sites which will eventually house an
expanded aquatics complex, a new gymnasium and fitness
center, a multi-purpose assembly hall, classrooms, teen cen-
ter and other comnnmity facilities. Our studies have also
included various scenarios for an expanded or new library
for the city, housed either in its existing location, or in a
new building on the largest site being assessed. Our work
included overall master planning as well as the development
of program and budget alternatives to help best determine
which pieces of the overall plan would be constructed dur-
ing the first phase with the available funding. Progress on
this work was suspended with the passage of a utility tax
abandonment measure, which severely impacted the city's
operating budget.

Preliminary Fee Proposal
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................u
of Proposed '
ched ule (in separate ernelope)
The attached charts summarize our preliminary
schedules of proposed charges for Phases I and II
of your project. These numbers are based on the
anticipated nwnber of hours required to successfully
complete the work based on past experience on related
projects. The fees for each task of the work are broken
out separately, as are those submitted to us by our sub-
consultants. We recognize that both our fees and those
of some of our consultants may be inconsistent with
your intended scope of work, and can adjust those as
necessary once the scope is more clearly defined. These
are preliminary estimates only at this time and are all
subject to modification.
The hourly rates and estimate of hours worked by mem-
bers of our staff are included in the chart. However, in
an effort to fit all of this information into your brief
submittal format, we have not included the hourly break-
downs for each of the sub-consultants, however, they are
comparable to our rates, and are available for your review
if desired.
,
3.2 Reimbursables
Reimbursable expenses for this project would be charged
in addition to the labor costs, and would include the fol-
lowing items. Direct costs will be marked up by a factor
of 10% to cover our related overhead costs.
.
Travel costs including mileage at the rate of
$0.30 per mile and bridge tolls
Costs of document reproduction including
drawings, reports and color images
FAX charges at $1.00 per page
Overnight or express delivery charges
Miscellaneous costs such as model building
materials if needed
.
.
.
.
It is very difficult to guess at a guaranteed maximum cost
for these reimbursables at this time. Typically the largest
expense is for document reproduction during and at the
completion of the construction document phase. The
report printing can also add up if we are asked to pro-
duce a large quantity of copies. Therefore, while we have
included preliminary estimates for each phase, we would
ask to defer stipulating a maximum cost for reimbursables
until such time as the project scope and extent of desired
documentation and duplication is more clearly defined.

FIRM PROFILE
BSA Architects specialize in architecture for community, recreation and athletic facilities. Since
1967, we have designed numerous projects that provide centers for community activities such as
cultural and educational programs, aquatics and physical fitness, social gatherings, and youth, adult and
children's services. Our clients include public agencies as well as private developers.
The popularity of our completed buildings demonstrates our ability to design facilities that attain their
functional goals while creating comfortable and welcoming places for people to gather. The design of
community facilities presents a special architectural challenge as these buildings generally involve
coordinating the efforts of large groups of individuals, each with different goals and concerns. BSA
Architects has a strong background in working with user groups and staff to gain a consensus on goals for
programming, design and budget ptiotities.
Throughout our 30 year history, the principals and staff have had a commitment to design quality and
to client service. In addition to recreation projects, the office has planned and designed hotels, resorts,
institutional and residential projects in the western United States, including Alaska and Hawaii;
Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.

Dear Mark:
On behalf of all the people 'Nho envisioned and worked to achieve a new library
for our community, I would like to thank you, Henrik and all of the BSA staff for
our wonderful building.
With your special architectural talent, you deftly guided us through the many
design meetings, the years of fundraising, the bidding process, and the months
of construction to the completion of this very unique facility last April. Visually the
building has made a significant difference to the entrance to downtown Tiburon
and its comfortable and handsome interiors have made all our patrons enjoy their
frequent visits. It is truly a special space.
It's been a pleasure working with you. Your boundless enthusiasm for
architecture should. be contagious.
. With appreciation and best regards,
Sincerely,
~

Dear Mark and Henrik:
It's been exactly one month since the dedication of our library, so
it seems an appropriate time to write you this letter. A lot of nice
things were said at the various opening ceremonies, but I feel it
necessary to add a few personal thoughts, based on my long association
with your firm as chairman of our library Building Committee.
I distinctly remember the defining remark made by a member of the
Architectural Selection Committee, just after you were selected. "They
seemed to really understand our community and to sincerely want to work
with us." That turned out to be a prescient observation; your library
shows that you understood our Library Program and our desires better
than we could have expressed them at the time.
Then, as the Building Committee, working with Mark in particular,
worked on translating the Lushington/Stockton Program into architec-
tural plans, I heard numerous times, "They really listen when we tell
them something!" The entire community is laudatory of what you accom-
plished, which just proves they got what they wanted.
Finally, in the middle of the design process, when we decided to no
longer be a branch of the Marin County Library system but instead to
set up our own independent Library Agency, you handled the changes in
program and responsibilities with hardly a hitch. I had my problems
with this change in leadership, but you seemed to take it in stride.
So, thank you. It's been an exciting but very fulfilling time for me
and for Belvedere and Tiburon. The library stands, completed on schedule
and within budget, already loved by the community. I 'm confident this
feeling will last for years. ..

To Whom It May Concern re: BSA Architects
The City of Lafayette employed BSA Architects in 1997 to assist with three projects.
The first was a study of several downtown parcels to determine their comparative
effectiveness for a new library and city hall. Mark Schatz led the BSA team, which
diligently produced scores of alternate layouts, renderings, rough landscaping
schemes, and cost estimates to illustrate the relative possibilities for each site.
Ultimately, BSA successfully managed public discussion to narrow the site choices.
Though the City has not moved forward with construction, we do seem to have
reached consensus regarding site selection due, in large part, to Mr. Schatz' and
BSA's good work on this feasibility study.'
Because the City was satisfied with BSA, we again employed the firm to work with
staff and a private developer to draw a series of alternative schemes for the City's
proposed Town Center mixed-use transit village. The City and developer had reached
impasse regarding how to best develop a key 4.3 acre parcel (located next to a BART
station); Mr. Schatz and BSA ultimately played a critical role in helping the parties
reach consensus on the now-approved project. When built, the project will contain
25,000 sq. ft. of main street retail, a 26,000 sq. ft. "class A" office building, and 75
luxury apartment units, all surrounding a natural creek.
Finally, and again reflecting our satisfaction with BSA's work, the City retained the
firm last summer to manage the design of the City's new public works service facility.
David Levy served as the manager of this project, and-judging by the Planning and
Design Review Commissions' satisfaction with the project -- appears to have done a
good job.
The City of Lafayette has found BSA, and particularly Mark Schatz, to be
professional, diligent, responsive, and sensitive to the needs and desires of the
community. We would recommend Mr. Schatz to other agencies and, in fact, will in
all likelihood use him again as our needs arise.
Sincerely,
~~

ft. L-shaped reinforced concrete administration building constructed in 1966. The building was
damaged in the 1980 Greenville earthquakes and was subject to serious torsional motion. After
extensive analytical study and many design considerations a double pylon solution was adopted. Two
large reinforced concrete towers were added to the existing structure to limit torsion and damage and
to enhance the seismic performance of the building in a major earthquake. The building remained
occupied throughout construction. This successful project received the 1991 American Concrete

MOUNTAIN VIEW PUBLIC LIBRARY
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA
The new $13 million Mountain View Public Library is a 60,000 square foot, two-story
replacement facility with a 30,000 square foot underground parking garage. Guttmann
& Blaevoet addressed the city's sophisticated requirements for mechanical systems
through various innovative design approaches. For example, in order to maximize
indoor air quality all duct lining (which contains fiberglass) was eliminated. This required
careful design of noise-control systems, as well as detailed evaluation of expected noise
levels so that sound traps were not applied excessively. Mditionally, carbon dioxide
sensing was incorporated into the library's return-air system; carbon dioxide levels have
been directly linked to "sick" buildings that are inadequately ventilated. Energy
considerations included using the carbon dioxide level monitoring system to reduce
ventilation during low occupancy hours, as well as the use of evaporative condensing
chillers which operate at a higher efficiency than air-cooled equipment for a relatively
small increase in first cost. Budget constraints were addressed using a pre-fabricated
mechanical room incorporating all major mechanical equipment, which could be built at
a lower cost than field-assembled systems. Construction completion 1997.

FIRM PROFILE
Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc., consultants in acoustics and audio/visual system
design, was founded in 1975. With a staff of 30, we are involved in more than 400 projects
annually in the following areas:
- Room acoustics
- Sound isolation
- Mechanical noise control
- Vibration isolation
- Environmental acoustics
- AudioNisual system design
- Traffic noise reduction
- Airport noise studies
- Expert witness testimony
- Simulation of acoustical environments
KEY STAFF
The Principal-in-Charge for this project would be Charles M. Salter, P.E. He would be
assisted by Eric L. Broadhurst, P.E. Both consultants have experience with libraries,
community centers, and public spaces.
ACOUSTICAL ISSUES FOR LIBRARY DESIGN
Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc. has conducted noise studies for over forty library
projects. We have had numerous experience with the following acoustical issues for library
projects:
- Room acoustics
- Sound isolation
M Mechanical and electrical equipment noise and vibration reduction
Room Acoustics
Room acoustics reductions is particularly important in large public spaces such as reading
and meeting rodms. It is also an important design attribute in circulation spaces, office
areas, and study spaces. To reduce excessive noise in rooms, adequate amounts of sound-
absorbing material in the form of acoustical tile, fabric-wrapped wall panels, or other
sound-absorbing material is needed.
Sound Isolation
Sound isolation issues within a library include specifying sound-rated partitions and
floor/ceiling constructions to protect acoustically-sensitive areas from mechanical
equipment and conversations in adjoining areas. Sound isolation from exterior noise is also
important to the acoustical design.
Mechanical Equipment Noise and Vibration Reduction
Mechanical equipment noise and vibration reduction is required in all occupied spaces. The
ventilation noise must be reduced to a lower level in large meeting rooms as compared to
open plan office areas and workrooms. Specifying quiet lighting fixtures in the library is
also important since noisy light fixtures create an annoyance.
