Downtown Library Remodel Service

The City of Shreveport, Louisiana, requires comprehensive remodeling services for the historic, four-story Memorial Downtown Branch Library. The agency is seeking to renovate the first, second, and basement levels of this existing facility to improve its functionality and address structural issues. The project aims to solve spatial limitations and update the aging interior while preserving the historic character of the building. The scope of work covers the installation of new walls, ceilings, and finishes throughout the designated floors. Specific requirements include the restoration of the terrazzo flooring at the entry, the addition of study rooms and a children's activity area, the installation of room signage, the construction of accessible restrooms, and modifications to stairs and railings on all floors. The interior work also requires specialized water infiltration treatment at the basement walls to address moisture issues. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. Although the project involves physical renovations to the library in Shreveport, the agency classifies the performance of the work as offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted bids and qualifications. Interested parties must attend a pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 15, 2026. All questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted to the agency no later than June 23, 2026.
