AGENDA TITLE: Approve plans and specifications and advertisement for bids for
redecoration of the Sullivan Community Room and Lobby areas of the
Lodi Public Library (LIB)
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2002
PREPARED BY: Library Services Director
RECOMMENED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the library
community room redecorating project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In Spring 2001 the Library Board of Trustees directed Library Services
Director Nancy C. Martinez to investigate costs for upgrading the finishes in the existing library facility. The resulting
proposal recommended that any project be divided into three distinct areas—the Community Room/Lobby, the Public
Service and Collection Areas and the Staff/Workroom Areas. In light of the impending development of a Library
Facilities Master Plan, the Library Board of Trustees directed library administration to work with WMB to develop
plans and specification for improving the look of the community room complex and lobby.
The project includes the following: new carpeting, new wall covering, new paint, creation of a Friends of the
Library office from an existing storage closet, upgrading lighting fixtures for greater visibility and energy efficiency,
new window treatments, and painting the ceiling tiles. The electrical upgrades for more energy efficient lighting will
be partially funded (20%) by the Electric Utility Public Benefits Fund.
