Document Description
The project consists of several upgrades to the Pinole Library, including the roof, restrooms, concrete path from the parking lot, electrical system, and the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The existing roof will be resurfaced, a moisture barrier will be applied, and some sections of metal roof siding will be replaced. The restrooms and concrete path at the main building entrance will be improved to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The electrical system upgrade will include a new switchboard and additional outlets which will allow for future services, such as electric vehicle charging stations. The existing gas-powered HVAC system will be replaced with an all-electric system. There will be no expansion of the building and no structural impact changes. The library is anticipated to be closed for at least six months to accommodate the project. In addition, the front parking lot is anticipated to be used as a staging area and will be closed during the entire construction duration. Real estate transactions, temporary traffic control, and utility relocations may be necessary. Tree trimming and removal will be necessary to accommodate the project. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024 or 2025, will take place during normal business hours, and will take approximately one year to complete.
