KCLS Climate Action Plan

The King County Library System (KCLS) is seeking professional services proposals from qualified vendors to draft a Climate Action Plan outlining climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. The plan will include an Executive Summary and technical and non-technical descriptions suitable for sharing with the KCLS Board, staff, and the general public. The contract was awarded to Glumac for a total of $141,449.00, excluding Washington State sales tax. Some key points to consider are: • The KCLS serves over one million residents at its community libraries, one institutional library, and various Outreach Services. • The KCLS provides access to a broad array of information resources ranging from electronic databases to books to music and video. • The KCLS is a special purpose district governed by a Board of Trustees, operates under the state constitution and laws, and is independent from King County government and funding. • The contract is for the development of a Climate Action Plan, which will suggest climate adaptation and mitigation actions for the KCLS to achieve clear and achievable goals in the short, near, and long terms.
