Council approves
tender for library redevelopment
Auckland City has
approved Fletcher Construction Co. Limited's tender to
undertake the redevelopment of the Central City
Library.
The tender will cost Auckland City $1,253,092
excluding GST and an additional $250,000 contingency outside
of the construction contract has also been approved by
council.
Construction is expected to start in November and
be completed by April 2006.
The group manager of Auckland
City Libraries, Alison Dobbie, says: "We are really excited
that we can get on with the job now. For some time our
customers have said they'd like a cafe in the library so
we're looking forward to our customers experiencing a new
café, a better library entrance, better shelving and
collection layout, and a new casual news media zone."
