NUMBER Central Library Building 1of 1
8/23/77 G-3542
On May 17, 1977, City Council approved contract awards for carpeting and
furnishings for the new Central Library Building. The Mayor and Council
Communication (C-3784) listing the carpet and furnishings bids for Council
consideration also itemized necessary project costs for which no funds have
been authorized:
Graphics $ 35,000
Plaza level bench seating 20,000
Plaza level landscaping 2,197
Design fees for these
items 5,500
Security system 11,000
Contingencies 51,303
$125,000
In order to coordinate the graphics, landscaping, seating and installation of
the security system to coincide with completion of construction and present a
finished project to the citizens of Fort Worth, it is necessary that bids be
let as soon as possible for these remaining items.
Included in M&C C-3784 was a commitment by the Library Advisory Board and
the City Council to "raising the extra $125,000 needed for landscaping,
graphics and contingencies before the completion of the building." At its
regular monthly meeting on August 10, the Library Advisory Board approved
unanimously a motion requesting City Council to fund the $125,000 needed to
complete the new Central building in order that the contractor may proceed
with the work at hand in view of time limitations. A second motion that the
Board pledge themselves to a continuing effort to raise funds was approved.
Of the items listed above, the item requiring the most immediate funding is for
interior graphics. Graphics for the Library need to coincide with the interior
design being done by the General Contractor. Graphics, are also part of the
furnishings scheme being provided by the furniture contractor. Since this work
is to be done simultaneously, it is essential that the graphics contract be
advertised in the early part of September and awarded not later than October 10,
1977. The estimated cost of the graphics is $35,000 plus $3,500 for architec-
tural and engineering fees for a total cost of $38,500.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council appropriate $38,500 from the Fund
Balance of the General Fund to Account No. 001-90075 Capital Improvements Account
and that these funds be transferred to the Library Construction Fund 112 .
