The Friends of the Berryville Library are excited to announce that the library building project has officially been put out to bid by Nabholz Construction Company. This marks a significant milestone in their commitment to building a new library without the support of any local tax dollars.
The Friends began fundraising on April 1, 2021, and have raised more than $3.3 million for this project. This leaves under $200,000 left to raise to meet the projected $3.5 million needed to cover the cost of building the new library.
The library building project aims to provide the citizens of Berryville and the surrounding area with a state-of-the-art facility to serve as a hub for information, technology and community events. Key features of the new library include expanded reading and meeting areas, dedicated spaces for children and teens and two private study rooms.
Nabholz Construction Company has been selected to manage the construction and bidding process. Interested contractors are invited to submit their bids by Jan. 14, 2025. There will be a pre-bid meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 19, at the building site located on Basore Avenue across from the Berryville City Pool and Park. You can request an invitation link with detailed project specifications and requirements by emailing Leo Castillo, Nabholz senior preconstruction specialist, at leo.castillo@ nabholz.com. Drawings are available for purchase at Southern Reprographics and AB Reprographics, if hard copies are needed.
“We are thrilled to take this next step with Nabholz Construction as we work towards our goal of creating a public library that truly meets the needs of our community,” said Joe Scott, building committee chairman. “The library is a busy place and we look forward to having a building big enough to accommodate all the different programs, activities and services our library offers for people of all ages.”
The Friends encourage local contractors to participate in this bidding opportunity and join in being a part of our story of building a vibrant new library that will serve this community for generations to come.
