Request for Proposal - Cost Consultant Services -- 21-0122
Saskatoon Public Library (SPL) is seeking a Cost Consultant to provide independent cost estimates throughout all phases of design for the New Central Library project. The Architect has engaged a Cost Consultant as a member of their team and SPL wishes to engage a Cost Consultant through issuance of this RFP. The two Cost Consultants will independently prepare their estimates at the end of each design milestone. Any variances between the estimates must be reconciled. Provisions for time to meet and discuss potential variances must be considered in the fee proposal.
The design will rely heavily on the cost estimates to ensure the proposed design can be constructed on budget. Value engineering will be implemented at each phase, as necessary, to align the design to budget.
Saskatoon Public Library is located on Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of the Métis in
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Saskatoon is a growing and diverse urban community
with a population of 278,000 and plans to grow to 500,000.
Saskatoon Public Library has been enriching the community by inspiring discovery, curiosity
and creativity through the sharing of spaces, experiences and ideas for over 100 years.
Saskatoon Public Library is comprised of a central library and eight library locations.
Governed by a volunteer board, it operates under the Public Libraries Act, 1996.
Each year the demand for library service in Saskatoon grows. In 2019:
• 134,302 (49%) of Saskatoon residents were members.
• Program attendance reached a record at 104,608.
• There were 438,355 public computer sessions.
• Over 3.5 million items were circulated.
• Patrons saved over $46 million by borrowing materials.
In 2016, SPL released a Strategic Plan with a vision to change lives through community
connections, engagement and inclusivity. The Plan sets forth an exciting and ambitious
vision of growth, modernization and cultural progress. In pursuit of their vision, SPL has
been readying the organization for the future, making the necessary changes to ensure the
library has the ability and capacity to create strategic and sustained positive community
impact for future generations.
A new central library, with a planned opening in summer of 2026, is fundamental to
delivering on SPL’s vision and a critical piece of the long-term plan to address the
population growth and increased service demands.
