These <br />bids were reviewed by the Library Board at a special meeting that evening. <br />The bids have been further evaluated and analyzed by EOS Architecture and <br />they are recommending approval of the low bid through the adoption of the <br />attached resolution. Pending approval of this resolution and financing being <br />confirmed, the project is scheduled to break ground in May, 1994. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Rick Wessling from EOS Architecture has also attached some financial <br />information relative to this project. It should be noted that a few additions <br />have been made to the original scope of the project by the Library Board. In <br />spite of these additions, the low bid is still very close to the original <br />construction estimate. It is the hope of the City staff and EOS Architecture <br />that not all of the construction contingency and administrative costs will be <br />needed and that these savings can be applied toward the purchase of <br />furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E). If this does not turn out to be the <br />case, then the Library Board will have to evaluate all of their options for the <br />financing of the library expansion FF&E. Overall at this point, it looks like <br />the project is beginning on the right step in terms of its original budget and <br />we anticipate a smooth project this summer. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />P.O.
