HomeMy WebLinkAboutQuestions and Answers for Bozeman Library Children's Room Renovation RFQ #11. Are there previous studies, renderings, or outreach reports for this project that you can share
with us? Yes, I’m working with IT to get you legacy as-builts. The files are quite large. Please
stand-by on this.
2. What is the square footage of the children’s room currently? And should we expect it to remain
the same for the renovation? 2025sq ft +/-
3. What is the estimated project schedule and when can we expect work to begin? Design will
start relatively soon (ie late winter/early spring). We are setting a goal of construction
beginning winter ’25-’26.
4. Does the city have a budget range in mind? Is funding secured, or will part of the effort be
fundraising? $67,000k for initial designs (for which we were hoping to get cost estimates) and
we’re earmarking about $1m for construction costs that includes approx. $200k for
FFE. Please bear in mind the $1m is preliminary and not guaranteed…that money will need to
be raised through the Foundation, but the $67k is in hand (as I understand).
5. Is there any set date(s) for construction to occur and/or for the renovated space to be
completed? Winter ‘25/’26
