Project Status March 2012
A construction kickoff event was held on Sunday, February 26th with approximately 25 residents in attendance. Remarks were made by County Executive Isiah Leggett, Library Director Parker Hamilton, and Department of General Service Director David Dise. For photos of the event go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/montgomerycountypubliclibrariesmd/sets/72157629137971338/ The contract with Milestone Construction Services has been signed and the Notice to Proceed has been issued. This is for Phase 1 work, which is mostly administrative and will last up to 6 weeks. This NTP requires the Contractor to begin the detailed planning for the project and to submit to the County for their review and approval certain planning tools that will help the project progress more smoothly when the physical construction begins. This is expected to take about a month. Included are:
The grand reopening will occur approximately 1 to 2 months after construction is competed, providing time for final punch lists, shelving the collection and preparing the library to reopen. Project Description The
Department of Public
Libraries’ Strategic Facilities plan identified the Olney
Library
for renovation and expansion in 2002. The building opened in 1981 and
is 16,825 square feet in size.
A
Program of Requirements
to guide the renovation plans was written in
September 2001 and updated and signed in October 2002. Funding was
approved by the County Council as part of the FY03-08, FY05-10, and
FY09-14 Capital Improvement Program budgets. The renovation was
approved to include a 4,260 square foot addition, HVAC replacement,
bringing all building systems up to applicable building and energy
codes, replacement of the windows and doors, pedestrian safety and
walkway improvements, and exterior lighting and stormwater management
improvements.
Planning
for the renovation
began in January 2008. A public meeting was
held on January 24, 2008 to solicit input on the features members of
the community liked about the current library and those they wanted to
see changed or included in the renovated and expanded facility.
Architects
from The Lukmire
Partnership and staff from the Department
of Public Libraries and the Department of General Services worked
during 2008 to complete an initial draft plan for the exterior and
interior design of the renovated and expanded building. That schematic
design plan was presented to the community at a second public meeting
held on April 2, 2009. Architects from The Lukmire Partnership and
staff from the Department of Public Libraries and the Department of
General Services answered questions and received feedback from
community members. Input from the community meeting will be considered
as the final design for the building is developed.
