The contract will cover full‑gut renovation, system upgrades, accessibility improvements, hazardous‑material abatement, and energy‑efficiency measures, delivered as a single construction phase.

The project budget is approximately $15.8 million, with the CM‑Build portion representing roughly 30 % of total cost.
• Scope: full renovation of a 7,500 SF library, including HVAC, electrical, fire‑protection, roof, façade, ADA upgrades, and hazardous‑materials abatement.
• Delivery method: CM‑Build (prime contractor provides construction‑management services and oversees subcontractors).
• Evaluation: 40 % experience/past performance, 60 % key personnel/team organization, plus a 5 % M/WBE technical point preference.
• Mandatory requirements: performance and payment bonds sized at 100 % of contract value for work > $1 M, 5 % retainage, and extensive qualification documentation (EOE statement, safety questionnaire, surety letter, legal structure, M/WBE certification, NYSDOL registration, etc.).
