The government authority located in Buckeye, Arizona is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive planning and design services for the construction of a 10,000 square foot library and a 3,000 square foot community center. The selected firm will be responsible for preparing detailed construction plans, including all appurtenant supporting plans such as Civil, Structural, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, and Fire/Life Safety documents.

The project scope also requires the development of a complete project schedule identifying key milestones from inception through completion. Design considerations include a lobby area adjacent to the circulation area, dedicated space for nonprofit books/materials sales, and low-maintenance xeriscape landscaping that harmonizes with the surroundings of Sun City Festival and a neighboring church.

Additionally, the facility will require robust information technology infrastructure and hardware, including sound systems, monitors, projectors, and screens. Building access control and security features are also to be integrated, such as security cameras, card access systems, and panic buttons. The project emphasizes functional design, security, and aesthetic integration with the local environment.
