Body
On June 10, 2017 the City released a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) for Architectural Services to program and design the new 60,000 sf City of Round Rock Library and a structured 300 stall above or below ground parking garage. Seventeen Architectural Firms applied, comprised of both local and national talent in response to the RFQ. The City's selection committee scored and ranked the top three firms, of which PGAL ranked number one. After an extensive interview process, including meeting the development team and visiting existing library projects located in other cities designed by PGAL, the selection committee determined that PGAL was the best qualified team to program and design the new library. The selection committee unanimously agrees that the proposed Principal and Library Consultant has extensive knowledge and experience of designing libraries in line with the City of Round Rock's vision. Rounding out the team, the listed Consultants were experts in their respective fields and represented both cutting edge ideas and economical design. Staff recommends approval.
