P1142 Library Facilities Master Plan
Scope of Work
The Fort Collins Regional Library District (the District) seeks proposals for a comprehensive
Facilities Master Plan. The focus of the Facilities Master Plan is twofold: (1) to determine
optimum use of existing library facilities (all currently located within Fort Collins City limits),
without adding square footage, and (2) to identify the need for and options to expand library
facilities to best meet the service requirements of the new District's entire 166,000
taxpayers/residents, both within and beyond Fort Collins city limits. The resulting plan will
include a determination of capital needs and potential financial resources associated with each
option, as well as identification of associated service levels for each option. The successful
consultant also will assist in developing a public survey to be used for identification of
taxpayer/residents service/facility needs. Based on national statistics, the District believes its
facility space is less than desired and is looking for options with recommendations such as
centralized library services through a main library and/or expanded services through additional
branch libraries. The successful consultant should also determine the best geographic locations
and size for potential new facilities to serve the District's population and the optimal size of the
Main Library. In addition to input from District management, the reports resulting from an
American Libraries Association "Planning for Results" process and information from a public
survey will be used for guidance.
OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
The Fort Collins Regional Library District system consists of three library facilities, including the
Main library (34,000 square feet) in downtown Fort Collins, the Harmony Branch (30,000 square
foot) on the Front Range Community College campus in southwest Fort Collins and a 17,400
square foot branch in southeast Fort Collins currently under construction. The District also
owns a portion of Library Park which may be considered for building, parking or outdoor facility
use to meet library service needs. The old Carnegie Building and associated portions of Library
Park, currently in use as a City -owned and operated museum, may be vacated as early as
2011. Options for its use as a potential District facility can be included in the plan.
The District also leases space in City owned buildings for use of the District's Technical Service
department and the Friends of the Library. The Main library building was constructed in 1976.
The Harmony branch is 10 years old and is owned and maintained by the college. The District
is interested in the advisability and cost associated with expansion in Library Park and possible
inclusion of the Carnegie Building currently used as a museum.
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
The focus of the Facilities Master Plan will be to determine options for the future library system:
Short-term
o How to best use the existing library systems spaces during the next five to ten years.
o Define refurbishments, remodeling and/or a renovation projects.
o Determine capital needs for the existing Main Library.
o Review "planning for results" documentation and develop service profiles associated
with future facilities needs.
• Staffing Profile.
• Collection Profile.
o Operations / Services Profile
2/9/00
Long-term
o The best geographic locations and size for potential new facilities to serve the District's
population.
o The optimal size of the Main Library and Branches.

in preparing their proposed project costs, the following represents the known tasks that will be
undertaken to complete facility master plan.
o Review existing facility floor plans and the most up-to-date drawings available for Main,
Harmony and Carnegie facilities
o Tour each facility and Interview staff.
o Preliminary Block Layouts of current and future functional uses of space.
o Identify potential remodeling and/or refurbishment projects and address the following
issues:
• Review current collection spaces; density, shelf heights and access and provide
recommendations for layout improvement and optimal collection sizes.
• Review current operations; circulation work, holds areas, security gates and self -check
stations. Provide recommendations for improvements.
• Identify potential new program, meeting, seating/reading and study spaces and make
recommendations for improving existing ones.
• Examine the layout of the children's space in the Main library and recommend
improvements to accessibility, shelving layout and approachability/visibility from the
entrance.
• Make recommendations regarding the current and potential future uses of existing
branch library spaces.
• Identify potential "green" building opportunities
• Review and recommend improvements to existing library staff work spaces
o Submit questions pertaining to facility development to gain public input through a survey
to be conducted by a local marketing firm
o Determine the optimal geographic distribution of library facilities, including drop-off box
locations in the District, taking into account current usage patterns, current facilities
locations and current and projected future population distribution.
o Determine the future amount of space needed for library facilities based on district
population and growth patterns. Provide growth options, such as a centralized vs.
branch library system, for branch libraries, expansion of the existing facilities, potential
use of the Carnegie Building, and space needs for Technical Services and the Friends
of the Library.
2/9/00
o Determine options for improvements in a phased approach. The master plan will include
short term and long range facilities recommendations.
o Draft a preliminary report of recommendations for consideration by District staff and the
Board of Trustees
o Complete a final report, including building and cost estimates including the scope for
each proposed improvement project, as well as an analysis and recommendation related
