RE: Architectural Design Services for the Revitalizing the Historic Richmond Main Library Project Dear Ms. Wellbrock and Selection Committee:

Noll & Tam Architects is delighted to present a proposal for the remodel of the Richmond Main Library.

We are familiar with the library through our prior work evaluating the building and preparing documents for the City of Richmond’s Building Forward grant application, and we look forward to working successfully with you again.

Our firm was founded and based in Berkeley since 1992. Since that time, Noll & Tam has been continuously in business as a licensed design professional and has grown into a studio of 44 talented architects and designers focused on public work, community engagement, beautiful design, and sustainability.

We have planned and designed more than 60 library projects—including new construction, complex renovations, and furniture/finish refreshes. Recent projects include renovations for the Berkeley Central Library and the Santa Clara Mission Branch Library, and new libraries for the cities of Hayward, Half Moon Bay, and Capitola. We are currently working on two complex historic renovation and expansion library projects in Portland, Oregon, and multiple furniture and finishes refreshes in Petaluma, Healdsburg, and all branches of the Marin County Free Library system.

We are skilled in managing and designing complex renovation projects within strict time deadlines and budget parameters. The Richmond Library project will present many challenges, and the methodologies we have developed will allow us to deal with them effectively. In particular, at project initiation we will establish a detailed and accurate scope and carefully defined budget using an interactive scope/cost spreadsheet to give you more control over the prioritization process. We have a reputation for working collaboratively with librarians, project administrators, and community stakeholders to ensure that we incorporate the needs of the community into the designs while respecting the budget and schedule.

Community outreach will be key to the success of this project. We are pleased to be teamed with Contigo Communications , community engagement specialists, who recently worked with the City of Richmond on a Community Needs Assessment to prioritize ARPA investments, with a lens for those most disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For this assessment, Contigo conducted 11 focus groups involving Richmond’s Latinx/Spanish-speaking, Black, Asian American, immigrant, youth, and senior communities.

With this depth of knowledge, Contigo is excited to partner with us for the renovation of the Richmond Main Library to enhance the resources available to residents of the city. We are currently teamed together on a needs assessment for an expansion of the downtown library for the City of Redwood City, for which Contigo is conducting a robust public outreach process aimed at gathering input from previously hard-to-reach Latinx and non-English speaking communities.

NOLL & TAM ARCHITECTS
HISTORIC RICHMOND MAIN LIBRARY 03
Along with Contigo, our consultant team (outlined in our organization chart on page 15 of this proposal) includes a comprehensive group of experts, all located in the Bay Area with extensive public-works project experience in the region, and with whom we have long-standing and successful working relationships. Our core team includes ZFA Structural Engineers (structural engineering), Taylor Engineers (mechanical engineering, plumbing, and fire protection), O’Mahony & Myer (electrical engineering and lighting), [Frederic] Knapp Associates (historic architecture), TBD Consultants (cost estimating), BKF Engineers (civil engineering), and BASE (landscape architecture). Nine other firms support us to provide the full slate of services requested under this contract. Letters of commitment from all subconsultants are included in Appendix B. Noll & Tam and its subconsultants are registered as required with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

Our subconsultants and their staff qualify our team for the five (5) bonus points (per page 2 of Addendum 2) offered for this project. ZFA has an office and key staff member (Mark Moore) located at 126 Crest Avenue, Richmond, CA 94801, and BKF Engineers has an office located at 322 Harbour Way #23, Richmond, CA 94801.

I, Chris Noll, will lead this project, bringing 35 years of experience in developing forward-thinking library facilities. Alyson Yarus, our project manager, has extensive historic renovation experience, including Carnegie libraries in the cities of Alameda and San Rafael and work at Berkeley Central Library. Amy Watson, our project architect, also has experience with complex renovations and library projects (Capitola and a revitalization of the Sonoma State Library). Trina Goodwin is our library space planner, and Nadia Colquiett will focus on the interiors. We are offering you our best team, one that has worked closely together on many prior library and interior renovation projects.

I am authorized to bind Noll & Tam contractually to this proposal, which is a firm offer for a 120-day period.

We acknowledge receipt of all addenda to the RFP, and accept the terms of the City of Richmond’s contract template. We look forward to the next steps in this process.

Respectfully submitted,

2. PROPOSED APPROACH & SCOPE OF SERVICES

PROJECT APPROACH
The following represents our
understanding of the City of
Richmond Revitalizing the Historic
Richmond Main Library Project and
the key considerations our team will
engage with as we conduct the work.

The Library is ready to be brought
back to a level of modern usefulness,
sustainability, and “shine” that will
allow it to take its rightful place
in the Richmond Civic Center. We
have decades of experience making
historic buildings work well for
their modern uses, enhancing their
historic fabric and preserving it for
future generations while creating an
inspiring and forward-thinking place
for the Library to thrive.

A LIBRARY FOR THE
21ST CENTURY
The Richmond Main Library project is
an exciting opportunity to transform
a venerable library into an improved
and more valuable resource for the
people of the City of Richmond.

The project will build upon the
historic character of the original 1949
building, bringing new life to the aged
spaces and building systems, making
it fully accessible, and allowing for a
modernized approach to delivering
library services.

Our goal for this project is to create
library spaces for the 21st century—
spaces designed specifically to
respond to the needs of the people
who live here and that provide
welcoming places to gather, learn,
socialize, and play. Noll & Tam will
apply our considerable experience
with libraries and complex renovation
projects to identify creative ways
to improve operations and the user
experience while also meeting your
budget and schedule constraints.

Due to changes both in technology
and community expectations,
libraries are no longer just a place
where you go to borrow a book;
instead, they have become the hub
of the local community. To meet
community expectations for the
library of today and also to anticipate
the demands of tomorrow, Noll &
Tam will listen carefully to hear what
the community’s needs are so that
we can address them in programming
and design. We will design flexible
spaces that can be used in multiple
ways throughout the day and that
can adapt and evolve as programs
and service delivery methods change.

The City has put a good deal of
thought and energy into identifying
the tasks needed to meet the
project goals while providing the
most value for the City. We will start
with this task outline and apply our
expertise to help you understand
what is possible within the budget
and schedule, building on the work
already done, gathering community
input, discussing your options, and
directing a thorough design process
to produce a better experience for
patrons, improved functionality for
staff, and a facility that responds to
the needs of the community.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

COLLABORATIVE

DESIGN PROCESS
A key element of our successful
partnership with public clients is the
ability to facilitate a collaborative
design process that responds directly
to concerns of all stakeholders
in the community. We will work
closely with City and Library staff to
identify important project priorities
and develop tangible design
strategies to achieve these priorities.

In particular, we will organize a
community engagement process
that could include such techniques
as task force meetings, surveys,
a web site, individual interviews,
focus groups, large community
meetings, and pop-up events in
order to establish a meaningful
and trusting relationship with this
community. We will determine what
makes the most sense with you.

We recently completed a deep
community engagement process for
two branch libraries in Northeast
Portland, which is an historically
disadvantaged community that has
suffered significant trauma over
the last 80 years. We developed a
process that specifically focused on
the most disadvantaged members
of this community to make sure
we addressed everyone’s needs
equitably, and the results were
remarkable in how they translated
into the design.

A LIBRARY FOR (ALL) THE AGES
Successful library spaces must
balance flexibility with the need to
create distinctive, memorable spaces.

We look to community history,
culture, and identity to curate a
unique sense of place, which along
with modern amenities will create a
library specific to this community.

Spaces for kids, teens, and families
are central to the library’s role in the
community because of their ability to
foster lifelong positive experiences.

CHILDREN’S AREA
Children’s areas must be charming
and capture childhood imaginations
yet must also be tough and durable,
welcoming hundreds of users
each day and facilitating a wide
range of activities. In addition to
providing a welcoming destination
for generations of children and their
families, the programming these
spaces provide can be a launch
pad to early childhood literacy and
preparation for a lifetime of learning.

TEENS
Increasingly, teens rely on library
spaces and access to technology

NOLL & TAM ARCHITECTS
HISTORIC RICHMOND MAIN LIBRARY 05
to support school requirements.

And, as most parents can attest,
teens rarely do only one thing at a
time—they may socialize, listen to
music, use a computer, send text
messages, and study simultaneously.

For teens to have their needs met
while co-existing with other library
users, dedicated spaces are needed.

Collections, seating, acoustical
separation, visual control, and a sense
of a place all factor into the success
of teen spaces.

STAFF SPACES AND

FUNCTIONALITY
Our design approach centers on
creating a public library that is as
functional as it is welcoming. How
will the design reduce barriers to
access to the facility, its resources,
and its services? In what ways will the
building strengthen the community?
With these touchstones in mind, we
will consider the needs of library staff,
through incorporating automated
material handling systems, book
drops, and accessible storage and
handling areas. The design will
incorporate clear sightlines, flexible
wiring systems, wireless technology,
changeable service desks, adaptable
lighting, mobile shelving, and
moveable walls.

SECURITY
Security is a key issue for most
libraries these days. We will work
with library staff to develop designs
that consider safety without being
exclusionary.

INTERIORS DESIGN
Noll & Tam’s work in libraries
and community centers involves
creating dynamic spaces that are
comfortable for all age groups,
provide clear wayfinding, and
incorporate a beautiful palette of
colors and finishes. We understand
how to satisfy all types of interior
space needs and how to incorporate
flexibility that allows for multiple
uses/accommodation of different
users over time. We work closely
with our clients and representatives
to select finishes that are durable as
well as aesthetically pleasing.

HISTORIC DESIGN
We have a flexible, intelligent,
and respectful attitude toward
improvements to historic buildings.

Required upgrades to building
systems and necessary accessibility
interventions must be compatible
and appropriate to what is already
there, and choices will need to be
made along the way to make the
facilities work well for their modern
uses. Solutions will be innovative and,
where possible, invisible; and if they
cannot be invisible, we will suggest
ways to make modern upgrades
compatible with the existing
architecture and in conformance
with the Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards for Treatment of Historic
Properties.

With Knapp Architects, our
historic architect, we will study the
historic structure reports provided,
conduct our own research and site
observations in order to understand
how—and how much—each
feature and material of the existing
building contributes to its historical
significance. We will prepare
diagrams, annotated drawings, and
photographs to share this information
with the Library and the City.

Often, aspects of a historic property
that are most vital to its integrity
are known only to locals. Our
public outreach process will help
us understand which parts of
the building and its site are most
appreciated and important to
Richmond residents. Simultaneously,
we will work with the Library to
determine project goals and the
desired program. Together, we will
develop constructive solutions to
the areas where sensitive portions of
the building must be affected—and
where new design initiatives need to
be inserted that must be compatible
with the character of the facility.

COST & BUDGET
A key task will be to balance the
practical with the aspirational—
developing a design that meets
your expectations for both fiscal
responsibility and community vision.

An early and important effort in
the programming phase will be to
reconcile the scope of the project
with the budget. This is a common
situation with public renovation
projects, as it is difficult to know in
advance of any detailed planning
work how much a building renovation
will cost.

To address this issue, we have
developed specific and objective
methodologies to bring the project
requirements into focus for our
clients. We will work closely with TBD
Consultants, our cost estimator, and
the City very early in the conceptual
design process to develop a shopping
list of the various potential scopes
and building upgrades, including the
complete construction cost for each
scope element. We will then work
closely with City and Library staff
to identify and prioritize the project
scope so we can establish a realistic
and achievable task scope that fits
the budget. We will continue to
monitor costs throughout the design
process to ensure that the scope and
budget are in alignment throughout.

A limited budget doesn’t necessarily
decree a limited project. We will
develop solutions that stretch the
budget and improve the spirit
and character of the facility while
maximizing functionality and solving
other programmatic needs. We view
ourselves as partners with the City
in stewarding limited dollars in an
appropriate and thoughtful manner,
and we will look for ways to put
construction dollars where they have
the most benefit.

COST ESTIMATES
Subtask 3A Scope - Space Needs
Assessment and Programming
Our team of architects and engineers
will tour the Library and meet with
stakeholders and selected staff to
identify current facility needs and
projected requirements. We will
establish the project goals which
will be used to make decisions
throughout the project. From
those meetings, we will develop
an architectural program that
addresses areas, adjacencies, spatial
qualities, security, major utility and
equipment requirements. We will
review the program and subsequent
space bubble diagrams with the
City of Richmond Project Team and
incorporate their feedback.

Furniture: We will work with City staff
to identify FF&E needs and make
recommendations for space planning,
and prepare an FF&E schedule
that can be incorporated with the
program elements.

Temporary Facility Study: Our team
will work with City staff to determine
the needs for a temporary facility and
site during the library construction.

We will prepare a feasibility study for
two possible locations identified by
City staff and provide cost estimates
for each.

Authorities Having Jurisdiction:

Our team will review regulatory
constraints for both building and
planning.

identified in Programming. Concept
design will incorporate feedback from
the Community Outreach efforts. We
will explore if an addition is a viable
or desired strategy in conjunction
with the concept cost estimate as
well insuring compliance with City
and State regulations. These ideas
along with the positive features and
limitations of each concept will be
communicated back in subsequent
City Staff meetings and Community
Engagement events.

Historic Building Consideration:

The proposed concept designs will
conform to Secretary of Interior
Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties.

Budget Alignment: Our team
believes that educating the
Community about all the costs of a
project is imperative to managing
expectations of the final building
outcome. Our concept cost estimates
will include market conditions,
pre-construction, mitigation work,
temporary library facilities, hazardous
materials abatement, construction,
contingencies, and escalation.

BERKELEY CENTRAL LIBRARY RENOVATION
Noll & Tam Architects improved the public spaces in the historic Berkeley Central Library by providing space planning and design services. A study was conducted in 2014 to suggest cost-effective alternatives and solutions to improve the interior public spaces without substantial structural modifications. Initially, the renovations were planned to be phased in order to keep the library operational. The first phase in 2018 completed a Library Lounge area on the first floor. While the library was closed due to COVID-19, a variety of improvements were made on the first and second floors, including a new Teen Room (designed with community input), new service desks, and gender-neutral restrooms.

MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY RENOVATIONS
Noll & Tam and LEVER Architecture are working with Multnomah County to expand and renovate two historic Carnegie library buildings in Northeast Portland: the North Portland Library and the Albina Branch Library. The projects have involved extensive community engagement efforts (with more than a dozen engagement activities conducted, including a YODA [Youth Opportunity Design Approach] teen process) to seek feedback from BIPOC and marginalized communities to ensure equitable and just outcomes without compromising the historic integrity of the buildings. The library’s new Black Community Cultural Center was conceived in response to community voices during the engagement process.

HALF MOON BAY LIBRARY
Noll & Tam worked with the City of Half Moon Bay on the design of a new 22,000 SF library that replaced an existing 7,285 SF facility. The library, a regional branch of San Mateo County Libraries, is a hub of community activity that serves all age ranges and diverse user needs. Noll & Tam’s design honors the coastal and agricultural roots of the community while serving current and future technology needs. The library features daylit interior spaces, outdoor reading plazas, acoustically separated areas for teen activities, quiet reading spaces, and a flexible makerspace. The library opened to great celebration in August 2018.

CAPITOLA BRANCH LIBRARY
Noll & Tam worked with Santa Cruz Public Libraries and the City of Capitola to design the new Capitola Library. A strong public outreach process, with presentations and discussions with the community, client stakeholder group, and at city council meetings, helped us develop the right program and library for the community and the neighborhood. The library features flexible, modern spaces in a building that feels unique to Capitola through the use of site-specific materials, local art, and whimsical furniture that gives personality and reinforces a sense of place. Reflecting the city’s natural setting and beauty, the design incorporates quiet, outdoor reading spaces and a pedestrian connection to a nearby creek.

FACILITATION OF PUBLIC MEETINGS & CONSENSUS BUILDING
Noll & Tam and Contigo have
extensive experience in building
consensus and working with diverse
communities.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

TOOL KIT
As a firm specializing in public
buildings, Noll & Tam engages with
community groups on nearly all of
our work. Over the past 30 years,
on more than 70 public projects,
we have hosted nearly 300 unique
engagement activities. We have
documented this work in a Design
Engagement Tool Kit (which can
be viewed/downloaded at the link
below). Through this work, we have
hosted large-scale community
meetings, focus group discussions,
one-on-one interviews, and
numerous pop-ups.

Design Engagement Tool Kit

HALF MOON BAY LIBRARY
For the Half Moon Bay Library,
the Noll & Tam team worked with
a diverse community that had
competing interests about how public
funds should be spent. Through
an open and sometimes difficult
process, we were able to come to
a compromise solution that the
community ultimately embraced.
“Ensuring that the community feels
represented is important for the
success of the project; activities
that allow for public feedback can
help develop a sense of trust in the
project team, as well as community
ownership of the project overall.”
—Annie Mailey, Branch Manager,
Half Moon Bay Library

MULTNOMAH COUNTY

LIBRARY RENOVATIONS
Noll & Tam’s work in Portland,
Oregon, to restore and expand
two historic Carnegie libraries in a
traditionally Black neighborhood
incorporated more than a dozen
public engagements. As one outcome
of this process, the Library elected
to create a Black Community
Cultural Center—a special new
area of the library to celebrate and
honor the Black experience in the
neighborhood.

NOLL & TAM ARCHITECTS
HISTORIC RICHMOND MAIN LIBRARY 13
OUR PARTNER: CONTIGO
For the Richmond Main Library
project, we are joined by Contigo
Communications, who worked
recently with the City of Richmond
on a Community Needs Assessment
for prioritizing ARPA (American
Rescue Plan Act) funds. This work
included nearly a dozen focus
groups with citizens in Richmond,
as well as meetings with individual
stakeholders. As a result, our
team brings direct experience
with outreach to the Richmond
community.

RANKING/

PRIORITIZING NEEDS
We have direct and extensive
experience in ranking and prioritizing
project needs vis-a-vis construction
budget limitations. Given the high
cost of construction recently and
the inflationary period we have been
experiencing, we enage in proactive
and thoughtful management
approaches on all of our projects to
ensure budgets are met.
• Comprehensive Building
Evaluations: We believe in doing
our homework up front the more
we can uncover early in the process
the better we are able to address
challenges.
• Accurate Cost Estimating: Working
with our cost estimator we
gather costs for each essential
problem from accessibility and
code upgrades to understanding
the building system costs, and
upgrades to interior finishes.

Each item must reflect necessary
contingencies and escalation.
• Targeted Interventions: We can
then work with the city through
the “must do” items and things that
will make the biggest impact on
refreshing the building. Through
this process we come up with a
plan for moving forward. that fits
the construction budget.
• Tools for Understanding Choices:

We use multiple tools, we create
a “shopping list” of options so
stakeholders can understand the
cost implications of choices, and
a “lookbook” of options showing
renderings so people can visualize
the “what ifs” of options.

MANAGEMENT

APPROACH
Over many years of preparing
documents for public bids, Noll
& Tam has developed a rigorous
approach to ensure quality and
thoroughness of construction
documents, plans, and specifications.

Starting with highly experienced
staff, we carefully plan our work
and the products we will deliver
at each project milestone and
incorporate independent quality
assurance reviews in each phase. At
each milestone submittal, a senior
Noll & Tam architect not directly
involved with the project conducts
an in-house peer review to test areas
of the documents for any needed
improvement. This is our standard
process, and our review extends
to the documents prepared by
our subconsultants to help assure
that drawings, specifications, and
estimates are consistent, complete,
well-coordinated, and clear.

ABILITY TO MEET

SCHEDULE/BUDGET
Schedule Control. Noll & Tam
has a strong track record of
meeting schedule commitments
and managing project staffing
and delivery. We carefully plan a
realistic and achievable schedule
at the outset and commit our
full design team—including all
subconsultants—to meeting this
schedule, and we monitor progress
carefully throughout. We have chosen
our subconsultant team based on
existing trusted relationships with
them over the course of multiple
previous successful projects. We work
only with subconsultants that have
proven themselves reliable.

Cost Control. All design decisions
have cost implications, and all
projects have finite budgets. At the
beginning of each of our projects, the
Noll & Tam design team reviews and
confirms the project’s program and
budget. For most of our projects, we
initiate an interactive process with
our cost estimator at the start of a
project and produce detailed cost
estimates at appropriate points in
the design process. As we progress
through the subsequent design
phases with our cost estimator, we
test and fine tune the program and
budget and incorporate feedback
from building users and staff.

We carefully review the estimates,
and ask that our consultants do so
as well. The estimate detail helps
us understand how a bidder will
interpret our drawings, and gives
us insight into ways the documents
can be made more concise. We are
also able to identify areas where the
scope of the project can be adjusted
to bring costs into alignment with the
budget.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.

Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.

The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.

Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.

Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.

Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.

Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.

Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.
