This proposal sets forth the services I intend to provide in <br />working on this project and the fee for those services. <br />Since the overall amount of space has akeady been established, 23,400 square <br />feet, I will prepare an abbreviated space needs study to determine the square footage of <br />each of the library's building components. The study is based on analyses of six common <br />elements of a public library facility -collection space, public seating space, public <br />computer space, special-use space, meeting/programming space and staff work space. As <br />part of this phase of the work I will also conduct two charettes to solicit public input for <br />the proposed library. <br />The next phase of the project will be the development of a building program for <br />the proposed library facility based on the space needs study. The building program is a <br />narrative description of the proposed library facility, which delineates and describes in <br />detail each area in the building. The architect will use the building program as a guide in <br />designing the desired building. Furthermore, the owners will use the building program to <br />ascertain that the architect is designing a building that meets their specifications. <br />The third phase of work will be to conduct at least two reviews of the architects <br />design in cooperation with the architect. The purpose of these reviews will be to evaluate <br />• the translation of the building program into an actual building design. <br />(continued) <br />
