Overview

Summary

The King County Library System (KCLS) invites proposals from qualified consulting firms to lead a comprehensive system-wide planning and development process. The objective is to develop a Master Maintenance and Asset Management Plan that integrates Future Growth & Development considerations for the next 25 years. This Plan must be aligned with KCLS's three recent assessments consisting of: Facilities Condition Assessment, Library Accessibility Audit and the Climate Action Plan. Consultants should demonstrate a strong understanding of asset management principles, long-term planning, and the unique needs of public library systems.

The guide will be an affirmation and reflection of KCLS' commitment to its mission and that supports the following objectives, strategies and initiatives.
