A question was asked whether the budget for the Renton Library over the River was available to review. In previous open houses a round number of $5M for the construction part of the work had been floated. That number was part of KCLS' PRELIMINARY budget. A preliminary budget tries to incorporate all factors known and/or expected at the outset of a project, but by no means represents a final product; it is a series of placeholders until more realistic costs can be determine.
Another question was raised whether KCLS or the architects they use have a formulaic or computer-based program that is used to determine what relative size to make each use area in new libraries.
The response from KCLS was that Adrianne (Dri) Ralph, one of the team members on KCLS' facilities delivery team, writes a program of requirements for each library.
