Library Service District

In the matter of authorizing the Klamath County Library to accept the quote from Christopher Thomas for the remodel of the janitor closet at the Main Library, 126 S. 3rd street, Klamath Falls. Nathalie Johnston, Library

Background: 

 The janitor closet at the Main library is very small and cramped and the floor is caving in.  The solution would be to remove the wall between the closet and the old staff bathroom to create a larger space. The space would accommodate a dishwasher that would be used for our library of things items and the toys from the children department, and also add more shelving for janitorial materials. The Library Foundation is willing to pay for the project. The Foundation received two bids:

    Christopher Thomas= $18,641.74

    Proway Construction = $29,974.58

Christopher Thomas submitted the lowest bid. The construction should not affect the day-to-day operations of the library. 

 Recommended Motion:  Authorize the Klamath County Library to accept the quote from Christopher Thomas for the remodel of the janitor closet at the Main Library. Fiscal Impact: None. The Klamath County Library Foundation will pay for the project.
