TOPIC: DOWNTOWN LIBRARY MODERNIZATION PROJECT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
SUBJECT: APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH NOLL & TAM
ARCHITECTS FOR ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING, AND INTERIOR DESIGN
SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY MODERNIZATION
PROJECT, FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $391,731, AND TO EXTEND
THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT BY AN ADDITIONAL TWELVE MONTHS
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the professional services
agreement with Noll & Tam Architects for architectural, engineering, and interior design services
associated with the Downtown Library Modernization Project, for a total amount not to exceed $391,731,
and to extend the term of the contract by an additional twelve months.
BACKGROUND:
The San Rafael Public Library (1100 E St) was constructed in 1909 with funding from Andrew Carnegie.
The building has been modified significantly with an addition and parking garage in 1960 to the north-
facing side and in 1976 the parking garage was enclosed to create additional public space. As a result of
community interest, the City commissioned a 2019 Existing Facilities Report which outlined the facility
upgrades needed to sustain the current building for the next 5 years, and a 2019 Library Facility Planning
Study which proposed longer-term options to address San Rafael’s need for additional library space.
The Downtown Library Modernization Project seeks to address a selection of critical infrastructure,
accessibility and life-safety upgrades identified in the existing facilities report as well as some design
improvements to create a more open, flexible environment that better meets the library’s operational
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
needs. This project does not increase the square footage of the building and does not address the long-
term need for additional library space as identified in the Library Facility Planning Study.
The City has secured $3,000,000 in funding for this project, which includes $2,000,000 in California State
Library grants and $1,000,000 in memorial funds donated to the City for the purpose of improving library
facilities.
ANALYSIS:
The City issued a request for proposal (RFP) for these services on November 1, 2022, and as a result
received four proposals from qualified firms. All firms were evaluated by City staff based on criteria
specified in the RFP including, but not limited to, completeness of the proposal, understanding of the
project scope of work, ability to meet deadlines and operate within budget, relevant experience and
success in similar projects, qualified and experienced personnel in the project team, and references by
former clients on similar projects. City staff found Noll & Tam Architects and their subconsultants to be
the most qualified consultant team for this project.
On January 17, 2023, the City executed a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Noll & Tam
Architects (Noll & Tam) for the Preliminary Design portion of the project, for an amount not to exceed
$67,905. Noll & Tam worked with City staff to evaluate critical building maintenance needs and staff
operational needs and develop preliminary design plans. On July 5, 2023, the architects submitted
Preliminary Design Plans (Attachment 2), which was reviewed by City staff and the Library Trustees at
the July 11th Board of Library Trustees meeting, which was open to the public.
As per the preliminary plans, the project will address the following life-safety and critical infrastructure
improvements:
• Maintain and re-balance the HVAC system.
• Upgrade electrical systems to meet code.
• Upgrade the interior staircase for improved accessibility.
• Upgrade existing plumbing and restroom infrastructure and add two additional ADA compliant
restrooms (one on each floor for a total of four public restrooms).
• Install manual fire alarm system.
• Add an ADA accessible lift to downstairs staff work area and remove existing ramp.
• Remove the non-safety interior glass walls outside the existing children’s area.
Additionally, the preliminary plans provide an overview of the proposed design improvements. These
improvements were selected as having the greatest long-term benefit while fitting within the project
budget. They include:
• Replace lighting in the 1st and 2nd floor of the Carnegie wing.
• Reconfigure the main entry lobby and make the children’s area more open with an improved
entryway, more flexible layout, and opportunities for programming.
• Replace the existing children’s service desk with a 2-person service desk that serves both the
lobby and the children’s area.
• Return the current technical services staff work area to a small public programming room.
• Relocate the public computing stations and Memory Lab from the Carnegie wing to the northern
addition.
• Redesign the 2nd floor Carnegie wing into a reading room with updated finishes, flexible
collection, and programming space.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
• Relocate the teen space and add two booths behind the service desk for public workspace,
tutoring, etc.
• Replace some of the existing shelving and furniture with flexible mobile shelving and furniture
that is more ergonomic and attractive.
• Remove existing staff restrooms from downstairs staff work area and reconfigure space into a
staff meeting room, create additional staff workspace with removal of ramp, and improve
acoustics for existing staff offices.
Staff is supportive of the preliminary design plans and believes that the proposed changes will provide
the greatest benefit in terms of both building safety, usability and improving the public experience, while
still considering the City’s overall goal of pursuing a larger Downtown Library expansion.
Following the finalization of the preliminary design plans, City staff requested that Noll & Tam provide an
updated fee proposal for completing the concept design phase, developing construction documents, and
providing construction administration and close-out services. As such, Noll & Tam submitted an additional
services request, dated August 30, 2023, (Attachment 3). The total cost of these services is $323,826.
Staff reviewed this proposal and found it to be complete and within industry standards. The proposal has
been incorporated into the City’s standard professional services agreement, included as Attachment 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Staff reviewed the scope of work necessary for the Downtown Library Modernization project and
determined that it qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301 for Existing Facilities. The key consideration to
obtain a categorical exemption is that the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.
Qualifying examples that are in line with the scope of the Downtown Library Modernization
project include, but are not limited to, alterations of existing public structures, facilities,
mechanical equipment, plumbing, and such. Therefore, staff intend to obtain a categorical
exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15301
for Existing Facilities during the design phase of the project.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
The publicly available 2019 Existing Facilities Report found substantial weaknesses in the areas of safety,
access, building systems, architectural issues, and functionality regarding the Downtown library. This
report along with the 2019 Library Facility Planning study and previous studies can be found on the City
of San Rafael website.
The Board of Library Trustees, consisting of community representatives, viewed and provided feedback
to the preliminary plans at a public meeting on July 11, 2023. Feedback from the Trustees was positive,
and the Board was in support of the proposed plans.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Downtown Library Modernization Project is identified and budgeted in the City’s 2023-24 Capital
Improvement Program. Staff proposes to fund the first amendment associated with the architectural,
engineering, and interior design services of this project by utilizing a total of $391,731 in memorial
funds that were donated to the City for the purpose of improved Library facilities and services that are
accessible to all (Fund 712).
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
This amount will count towards the $1,000,000 dollar-for-dollar matching funds required for the Building
Forward Grant awarded for this project.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
1. Adopt the resolution as presented.
2. Do not accept the proposal from Noll & Tam Architects and direct staff to reissue the RFP. This
option will delay this project.
3. Do not accept the proposal from Noll & Tam Architects and provide further direction to staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the professional
services agreement with Noll & Tam Architects for architectural, engineering, and interior design
services associated with the Downtown Library Modernization Project, for a total amount not to
exceed $391,731; and to extend the term of the contract by an additional twelve months.
