II. PROEXT DESCRIPTIONS Main Library Renovation The City of Santa Ana is developing the Main Branch of the Santa Ana Library located on the southwest corner of Civic Center Drive and Ross Street. The exterior for the building has remained relatively the same since it was established in 1960; however, the interior of the building received an extensive renovation in 1990. The City will restore some of the character lost in the previous renovation while also performing an update that better meets the evolving needs of the community and makes the library central to early childhood learning. The Main Library building consists of 39,790 square feet and has two floors and a below grade basement. The focal point of the project will be the Children's Library/Early Learning Center with key upgrades and expansion to the area and services that will be provided to the community. Design will include "Play-brary" types of designs with interactive walls, etc. Additional improvements will include but are not limited to exterior marble panels, lighting fixtures, landscape, site furnishings, entrance walkways, parking area, and flooring. In order for the Library to accommodate community needs, new book drop locations, bookmobile area, and shared public spaces will be developed. The Santa Ana Main Library is an integral partner with the community, providing educational resources to connect and enrich a community of over 335,000 residents. This renovation should further these goals in the most cost effective and environmentally friendly manner possible. A generalized description of areas that may be addressed with City/community/potential consultant input are as follows. Currently, the original as-builts of the library from the 1950s does not exist. The City has sought to obtain 3D scans to generate plans for the existing building, but are not yet available for this RFP. See Attachment 4 for any available as-builts and general layout of work areas, for Schematic Design Plans, and for the Children's Thematic concept designs. Note: Minor changes to plans and the preparation of the specifications may occur during the RFP process without notice to the prospective proposer, however, selected consultant will have access to the latest documents once the RFP has been awarded. 1.
