On August 23, 1994 (M&C G-10781), the City Council adopted a policy to improve the Fort Worth I Public Library System. The policy provided a plan for the completion of the expans~cn project at the r'~,rt~~3i library +~`ity of .Fort ~'©rth, Texas ~1~1M~c~yor i~nd ~;c~u~nc~~ ~:ommun~clati~an DATE REFERENCE NUMBER LC1G NAME PAGE 3124198 C-1 gg9g 84LIB 2 of 4 `a'UBJECT AWARD QF CONSTRUCTION TO RATCLIFF CONSTRUCTORS, INC., FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PLAZA LEVEL FINISH OUT AT THE CENTRAL LIBRARY The original underground structure for the Central Library was completed in 1978 at a cost of $4,259,337.00. Several leaks in the building caused servere damage to library materials so a shell was built over the existing structure for the protection of the library materials and to provide additional space for Gentral Library.

With respect to the Central Library, it is the policy of the City to provide the funds for the renovation of the lower level and the construction of the infrastructure necessary to finish out the first floor. The cost of the renovation and infrastructure necessary to finish out the floor is $4,784,541.00.
