Altadena Main Library Renovation Project

The Altadena Main Library Renovation Project involves a comprehensive modernization and expansion of the existing facility, including a 700-square-foot building footprint extension, interior reconfiguration, seismic retrofitting, and full replacement of aging infrastructure systems such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and structural components. The project will install accessible restrooms, upgrade audiovisual and communications infrastructure with structured cabling, enhance outdoor functional spaces, and improve landscaping and irrigation. Construction is scheduled across multiple phases from May 2025 through March 2026, beginning with demolition and grading, followed by interior and exterior building work, paving, and final architectural coatings. All work must adhere to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, California Building Code, ASTM A516 rebar standards, ADA accessibility requirements, National Electrical Code, and Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation where applicable. The contractor is responsible for obtaining permits, controlling erosion and stormwater runoff, maintaining a secure perimeter with an 8-foot temporary fence, compacting fill to 90 percent maximum density as per geotechnical specifications, and ensuring full compliance with SCAQMD air quality standards and California Division of Industrial Safety regulations. All construction occurs on-site at 600 E. Mariposa Street, Altadena, CA 91001, with inspections and acceptance conducted at the location upon completion. The project is being administered by Los Angeles County Regional Planning, with primary point of contact Jolee Hui, and submissions for comments are due by November 13, 2025, via email or mail. While the contract includes detailed technical, environmental, and safety requirements, no formal FAR clauses, contract value, payment terms, accounting codes, COR/COTR information, or evaluation factors for award are present in the available documentation, indicating a locally managed public works procurement focused on construction execution and environmental compliance under CEQA rather than federal acquisition regulations.
