Staff is also asking the Council to provide direction on whether to issue a bid package to demolish the existing library prior to the award of construction for a new library. Lastly, staff is asking the Council provide authorization to request a redesign proposal from the project architect to specifically address the value-engineering options recommended by the Council for the Library.
