AB-2025-00998 - Library Facility Needs Assessment and Future Planning

This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) is an invitation by the Town of Cochrane (“the Town”) to prospective proponents to submit proposals for Library Facility Needs Assessment and Future Planning

The Town is seeking a qualified consultant to develop a comprehensive Library Facility Needs Assessment and Future Planning to help design a bold and innovative future-ready library that maximizes its potential to serve the growing population and community needs. This project aims to analyze the current library’s capacity and identify areas for improvement to meet evolving needs. The new design should support both traditional library services and emerging functions such as co-working spaces, community events, and multi-use areas for diverse community groups. The future library should reflect the Town's commitment to creating a dynamic, inspiring, and adaptable space, integrating cutting-edge design elements that encourage community engagement and innovation. The Needs Assessment is to be completed no later than December 31, 2025; and the Final Report is to be completed no later than June 30, 2026.
