BACKGROUND
INFORMATION:
The Garden Grove
Main Library is located at 11200 Stanford Ave., Garden Grove, and the La Habra
Library is located at 221 E. La Habra Blvd., La Habra. The libraries were built
in 1969 and 1966, respectively. The County of Orange (County) aims to update
the interior of the buildings to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) standards and to modernize them with the latest technology and efficiency
improvements. Updates to the exterior of the buildings, including the parking
lots, is not included in the scope of this project as the County is leasing
these buildings from the respective cities. The scope of work includes
replacing interior finishes, ceiling, flooring, mechanical system, controls,
lighting, plumbing, fire alarm and security systems to provide ADA-compliant,
modern, and attractive libraries for the public to enjoy.

County Preference Policy was not applicable to contracts procured in accordance
with the DCPM.
Six proposals were received and deemed
responsive. The evaluation panel composed of members from OC Public Works and
