The process starts with a chart of adjacency requirements, progresses to a bubble diagram, which lead to preliminary floorplans.  Several iterations may follow.  At this time, community meetings are held in order to receive input for the proposed layout and architectural theme.  Architects then spend further time refining the site and interior layout and finally implement the theme and exterior design.  Staff constantly reviews the design to ensure that the elements requested in the building program are represented in the design.  The entire package is then represented to the community for review.  This completes the conceptual phase and a critical and key design phase. The building program continues to play a guiding role as the architect(s) enter subsequent phases. For example, staff meets with the architects and engineers for electrical, data, HVAC and lighting requirements to make sure the detail of the building program is implemented.  Conversations with the architects and engineers occasionally lead to refining some details of the building program. II.Background Information About the Library and Parent Institution a.Brief History of the Library The current Clovis Regional Library was built in 1976 at 8,600 square feet. The population at the time of construction was roughly 25,000 people—a number which has quadrupled in the last four decades. The current facility cannot meet the needs of the community relative to its size. Still, the Clovis Library remains amongst the busiest branches in the Fresno County Public Library system, consistently ranking second in annual reports measuring circulation, visitors, number of events, and number of program attendees. There is no doubt that once the new building opens, Page | 6         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  the current statistics will skyrocket. The new facility must be designed as a thriving, bustling  epicenter of the community.   Library buildings are long‐term investments into the community, so when designing such a facility  architects should look as far as 50 or 100 years into the future.  The key is to provide a facility that  is so flexible that it can easily adapt as demands and technologies change.   b.Brief History of Clovis Clovis Library serves a community of more than 102,000 residents within the city limits and thousands more in the unincorporated county areas. Since 2010, population rates increase roughly 1% each year, with a projected population of 108,570 residents by 2020. More than 7,500 businesses call Clovis home.  As a regional facility it is expected the service base will be more in line with approximately 200,000 drawing in residents from surrounding communities. The residents of Clovis take much pride in their community, referring to Clovis as “a way of life”.  There are many distinct cultural events throughout the year in Clovis. Downtown business owners  often work together to host seasonal events, such as the Old Town Flea Market, Wine Walk, or the  weekly farmers’ market. Clovis is known for its association with all things Western, from the Clovis  Rodeo and Big Hat Days to the Western‐style architecture of its buildings. Subtle elements of this  ‘cowboy culture’ should be evident in the new Library’s design, but should not overpower the  overall aesthetic.   c.Description of the Service Area and User Groups, Present and Future The new Clovis Library will remain a regional facility, and at 30,000 square feet will be the largest of all branches outside the Central Library. Each regional branch in the Fresno County Public Library system serves the surrounding regions as well as the local community in which it is located. The new facility will serve not only the residents of Clovis but those in the unincorporated areas of Northeast Fresno County. Neighboring libraries include: the Woodward Park Library (distance: 6.5 miles), located at Champlain and Perrin in Fresno; the Betty Rodriguez Library at Cedar and Shields in Fresno (distance: 6.1 miles); and the Sierra Vista 24/7 Library located in the Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis (distance: 1.5 miles). Many schools in the Clovis Unified School District are served by the Clovis Regional Library. In  addition to several elementary schools, Clovis High School and Clark Intermediate School are in  close proximity. At the current location on Fifth Street, many students from Clark walk across the  street daily after school. It is expected they will continue to walk the two additional blocks north  to the new location.   The new facility will be located adjacent to the Old Town Clovis Trail, which is a popular recreation  trail that winds through the city. It will also share proximity with Old Town Clovis, which includes  many shops and restaurants.     Page | 7                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                       According to US Census data as displayed in the table below, residents of Clovis are more likely  than other Fresno County residents to be: college educated, home owners, white, and speak no  other language than English. Statewide comparisons are provided as well.     Demographic California Clovis  (city)  Fresno  County  Race—White  39% 58% 31%  Race—Hispanic 39% 26% 52%  Language—other than English spoken  at home  44% 23% 44%  Education—bachelor’s degree  31% 30% 20%  Housing—own a home 55% 62% 54%  Median household income (2009‐2013) $61,489 $65,260 $45,563  Lives Below Poverty level (2009‐2013) 16% 13% 26%    As stated previously, the projected population of Clovis by 2020 is 108,570. The population of the  Fresno County Public Library jurisdiction overall has increased by 16% in the last decade to 910,000,  growing faster than the statewide rate of 10%. This includes a higher share of young people than  the state average.       d. Mission, Goals and Strategic Directions  The Library’s mission, goals and strategic directions for 2016‐2019 are included in Appendix A.  These are currently under review and may be revised during the course of this building project.       e. Finances for Library Operations and Capital Funding   All Library activities, including capital projects are funded through the Library’s main funding  streams: property tax and Measure B sales tax revenues. Additional monies are available only  through private donation.  The Library plans to fundraise for the furniture, fixtures and equipment  (FF&E).      f. Projected Services  i. The Clovis Regional Library will be open sixty‐nine (69) hours a week, seven (7) days a  week.   ii. Primary emphasis will be on popular reading materials and those for independent  learning, with an additional emphasis on children’s materials.   iii. An Early Learning Center will provide an area for children and families to interact,  encouraging the development of early literacy skills.   iv. Library programs are held both inside the library and offsite.     Page | 8                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     1. At least four different kinds of programs for children will be offered each week,  42 weeks per year.    2. At least three programs for teens and adults will also be offered per month, 12  months per year.  v. Lifelong learning and creative exploration will be encouraged through the use of the  Library’s Innovation Lab.   vi. Job readiness and college preparedness will be encouraged through the Library’s  computers, copy center, and online databases.  vii. The Library will be a community destination through the use of its many study rooms,  meeting rooms, and gathering spaces.   viii. Current technology will be employed throughout the building, offering WiFi, desktop  computers, laptops and tablets for checkout, and many charging stations.     III. Overview of Requirements for Proposed Building Project  a. Description of the Site  The site of the new Clovis Regional Library is located just northeast of Clovis Ave and Third Ave in  Clovis, just steps east of the Old Town Clovis Trail. It will share a campus with the new senior center  and transit hub. There will be parking for each building, with spots reserved for both car pool and  low‐emission vehicles. There is no existing building; this is a new construction project.       b. Building Size and Levels  The new Clovis Regional Library will be approximately 30,000 square feet. It will be a single level  facility.       IV. Exterior Considerations  a. Landscaping  The Library requests a garden‐like setting around the building, with outdoor benches and paths  connecting to the Old Town Clovis Trail. Landscaping and irrigation do not currently exist and will  be part of the building project. The architect will consult with a landscape architect.   It is expected  xeriscaping will be used to address the drought conditions of the region and to proactively conserve  resources. The architect, landscape architect, Library and City of Clovis will work together as a team  to create a mutually agreeable landscape that transitions people from inside the library to the  garden‐like setting, then again to the parking lot or other destinations like the trail or transit hub.    b. Patio/Outdoor Seating  In addition to benches throughout the landscaping, there shall be a covered, outdoor space for  events.  Three concrete patio tables, approximately 5 feet in diameter with benches are required.   Artwork suitable to the outdoors (e.g.: bronze statuary) are desired.       Page | 9         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  c.Bike Racks As the Library will be adjacent to a popular recreation trail, at least four multi‐use racks for safely securing bicycles, jogger strollers, etc. are required. d.Parking Parking spots in the civic center will be shared by those visiting the Library or senior center, or by those who are using the transit hub. It is expected that: i.County requirements for number of stalls will be met. ii.Access to the parking area will provide maximum safety. A passenger drop off zone is desirable. iii.There will be a loading zone near the delivery entrance to the building. iv.There will be a convenient way for customers to return materials. 1.A drive up book drop that deposits materials directly into the building is most desirable, allowing customers to return materials without getting out of their vehicles. 2.A second option is providing 2‐3 loading zone spots near the exterior book drop that deposits materials directly into the building. v.The public entrance(s) will be clearly visible and directly linked to public parking. e.Signage Outdoor Signs are useful reminders of a Library’s availability, not just its location. i.This building shall be identified as a branch of the Fresno County Public Library. The County Librarian shall determine exact wording. The exterior building sign shall be well lit and visible to the surrounding parking area and shall comply with applicable signage standards. ii.In accordance with City bylaws, directional signs shall be placed on Clovis Avenue and Third Avenue. iii.Speed of vehicular traffic should be considered in determining exterior sign size. f.Visibility and Appearance of Building i.The exterior of the Library will be designed to complement the other buildings on the civic center campus. However, it should be extremely clear to passersby that the facility is a Library. It should convey both the culture of the community and the dignity appropriate to a building of cultural and educational significance. All exterior materials shall meet current code standards, shall be of durable vandal‐proof materials requiring minimal maintenance, and shall be environmentally safe. ii.No portion of the building exterior should create an area where people can congregate without being seen.   Page | 10                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                       g. Lighting  i. The Library entrances, emergency exits, book drop depository, adjacent walkways, and  immediate landscape should be well lighted for public safety and building security.   ii. Photovoltaic timers should be used wherever possible.   iii. Special care should be taken to ensure lighting installation dovetails with security camera  placement, ensuring proper synchronicity when reviewing security video footage.     h. Security  The most up‐to‐date security cameras shall be installed around the perimeter of the building,  with surveillance capturing entrances, exits, parking lot, and all other areas around the building.      General Requirements of Library Building  a. Functionality  A library building is designed from the inside out. Proper relationships between the interior  spaces are critical in order for the library to function. Visual, acoustic, color, floor covering, and  other building elements subliminally define these interrelationships. Key examples are listed  below.   i. The design should allow visual control by staff of most of the facility; however, customers  should feel only a general sense of surveillance.   ii. Public entrances should relate to staff at the service desk. If a second public entrance is  required for any reason, and that entrance is not within proximity to the main service desk,  it must be supervised by staff at a second service desk. The Library can look at alternatives  to traditional service desks, such as host/hostess stands like at restaurants or hand‐held  tablets and headsets, similar to retail stores.   iii. Good visual control of emergency exits is required.   iv. Visual control should also be strong in potentially troublesome areas, such as the  entrance to public restrooms, near water fountains, etc.   v. Once inside, visitors should be immediately oriented to the major areas of the Library:  Children’s Room, Popular Materials, Meeting Room, Innovation Lab, etc.   b. Theme and Interior Design  The Library wishes to honor the past, while looking toward the future. The architectural team will  work with the Library on theme and interior design. The Library desires a state‐of‐the art facility  with a nod to the city’s Western culture built into a streamlined and modern environment, all the  while maintaining the existing branch’s cozy feeling. The end result needs to feel sophisticated,  modern, and yet a place where everyone feels instantly at home.        Page | 11                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                       c.

Upholstered seating should be selected judiciously and only when absolutely necessary  to the success of the buildings’ design and function. Fabrics must be sturdy, easy to  clean and soil resistant.   2. Customer safety is paramount and should be considered when selecting wheels that  come with castors or wheels.  3. Tables are to be no more than four seats as research has shown that larger tables are  not used. Two‐seat tables are desirable as well. With each selection, consideration    Page | 12                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     must be made regarding the charging devices and if the table or piece of furniture  could provide an outlet or USB port for charging.   4. Meeting Room tables should be lightweight, durable, easily stacked or put away, and  simple to rearrange, since both staff and customers will be handling them.    d. Type and Size of Collection by Area  The shelving layout should define reader areas, and also break up large expanses into more intimate  spaces. Customers want to feel as though they’ve discovered their very own nook to settle in, and yet  staff must not lose sight control over the building. Employees will be roving while helping customers,  but every effort must be made to provide clean lines of sight from the central service desk. Every  attempt must also be made to locate rows of shelving so that the books can be grouped logically  according to the library classification scheme. Care should be taken not to create overly long ranges.  Groupings of six to 10 sections to create a range are appropriate. General principles are summarized  here.  i. The different areas of the Library are: Popular Materials (includes New & Now browsing,  plus adult and teen media); Nonfiction (includes Adult and teen nonfiction, as well as  reference); Adult Reading (includes all genres, graphic novels, large print of all kinds,  audiobooks); Teen Reading (fiction, graphic novels, audiobooks); Adult Magazines (housed  in the Quiet Room); World Languages (Spanish print and media for adults and teens; all  other world language materials for adults); Children’s Room (Ages 0‐5, school age K‐6th,  homework center, parents’ shelf, movies, music, Spanish and world languages).    ii. Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment: equipment is comprised of regular library stacks and  display racks for books, CDs, DVDs, future formats, and periodicals.    Shelving layout and bookshelf height in each area influence storage efficiency. In general, 78 inch, five  shelf‐high units should be used throughout the Adult areas. No items are to be stored on the bottom  or top shelves, though in times of great need, a sixth shelf can be added in areas where display and  merchandising is not compromised.   iii. In the Teen area, 66‐inch, five‐shelf high units shall be used.   iv. Children’s shelves should not exceed 42 inches and the number of shelves will vary by  collection.   v. The Popular Materials section houses both the Library’s New & Now browsing collection  and its media. Special care must be taken in selecting the media shelving, as well as the  shelves to display the high traffic, popular books in this area. Total volumes checked in at  any time will be estimated at 850 books, 3,000 CDs and 12,000 DVDs. Because this is a  browsing collection of the Library’s most popular materials, special care should be taken  to find the most innovative ways to shelve and display these collections.   vi. Periodical shelving will go into the teen area (66”h and 2, 10” shelves), the Children’s room  (42”h and 2, 10” shelves), and the Quiet room for the Adult magazines (66’ h and 2, 10”  shelves).   vii. For in‐depth shelving plan, see Appendix E.        Page | 13         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  e.Flexibility and Expandability Library trends change over time. Historically, customers would visit the library seeking answers only found in large reference books, or check out the numerous items for reading enjoyment. Over time the focus shifted from customers primarily seeking answers from librarians or books to customers utilizing the Library’s Internet connection for information and entertainment, while continuing to use the Library’s print collection for entertainment or life enrichment. As we move into an exciting technology‐driven future, we see yet another shift. Where customers have been utilizing the Library as a means of consumption {information, entertainment, access}, we now see people drawn to libraries as a place where creation happens. From crafts after to storytime, to STEM‐based contests with teens, to adults accessing our Innovation Labs to use our 3D Printers, our customers are making things—and as a result, contributing to the collective knowledge in our communities. Library design must understand the shifts in Library trends and acknowledge that there will be unforeseen shifts in how we deliver service. We may not be able to anticipate the specific trends, but the library design must be flexible enough to adapt and welcome what comes. vi.The Library space must be durable and adaptable, and include features such as a raised floor system for the distribution of critical services (power, voice, data, and HVAC) and mobile workstations and storage. vii.Computer technology continues to affect the way libraries function and, as a result, the way they are planned and designed. The electric and wiring needs of modern‐day public libraries must accommodate changing technology. Public libraries must be able to support wired and wireless connections to digital communications from networks within and from outside the library. Outside digital communication systems include the Internet, area networks, public telephone networks, and networks accessed through digital service providers (such as cable companies) that utilize copper wire, cable, wireless, or fiber‐optic capabilities. viii.The building must have the infrastructure in place to support the use of wireless communication technologies, in order to allow library staff members to roam throughout building with a mobile device, without being bound to a service desk. Staff should be able to help customers where the customer is, not expect customers to come to them. f.Staff Efficiency Efficiencies should be identified and developed at every turn. This includes utilizing design elements which employ human efficiency measures as well. Examples where efficiencies can be found are below, but additional efficiencies should be identified through the design process. ix.Service desk. In this facility there will be one service desk in the main area. Customers can have all their Library needs met there: check out or return materials, ask questions, pay fines, reserve meeting rooms, etc. Because the children’s room is separated by walls and the line of sight is obscured, a separate point of service is required. However, a service desk may not be. Staff can roam in the children’s area with tablets, or set up at a table with a portable sign. x.Adjacency. When the main service desk is connected to or in close proximity to the staff work area, employees who are working at their assigned work stations are able to assist   Page | 14                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     those at the service desk at times of high volume. The service area should be visible from  the work area without the employees or work area being visible to the public. In addition,  there should be mechanisms in place for staff at the service desk to communicate quickly  with the staff in the work room (i.e. easily call for back up).   xi. RFID. Efficiencies can be reached through the use of self‐checkout stations, utilizing RFID  technology. Customers who choose to be self‐sufficient may come into the Library and use  a computer, pay a fine online, and check out a few books – all without speaking to staff.    While staff efficiencies should be used whenever possible, the user experience should never be  compromised. Each potential savings must be measured against how it will affect customer service,  which is of utmost importance.    g. Energy Efficiency  The Library should be recognized as a “green” facility.  To that end, design should address  minimizing the negative impact the building will have on the local environment, and if possible  create a positive impact. Reducing the use of water and energy by designing in a way that  maximizes the use of natural and renewable resources is preferred. Integrating actual greenery  and vegetation into the building and site design using drought resistant and/or native vegetation  is required.   In addition, maintaining high standards of indoor air quality in necessary to help  ensure the health of the people who inhabit the building.  LEED Certification should be considered.    Design must balance the conflicting needs of users and library materials. One of the central themes  of the library's mission is to preserve knowledge, so that it can be passed on to future generations.  For over a thousand years books have been the dominant way to do that. While theInternet has  become the information medium of choice for many, books still play a very important role in the  preservation of knowledge. In order to be preserved, books must be kept away from extreme  temperatures, moisture, and sunlight. In contrast, many individuals find sunlight to be the most  enjoyable light for reading. Sunlight also plays a major role in green design, because it can be used  to reduce the reliance on artificial lighting. Skylights should be added wherever possible and when  it can be logically incorporated into the building’s design.  The design must also address the weight of books and other library materials. A common strategy  in green design is to raise the floors to increase circulation, but the weight of the stacks can be an  impediment to this strategy.  Libraries need to be built flexibly, in order to make room for  expansions in size and in wiring capabilities. These obstacles by no means present insurmountable  challenges to green libraries. The special needs of the library just need to be taken into  consideration from the beginning of the project.  Below are considerations for a sustainable facility:  i. Is the building designed and constructed in ways that preserve the natural outdoor  environment and promote a healthful indoor habitat?  ii. Is the building designed to avoid adversely impacting the natural state of the air, land, and  water, by using resources and methods that minimize pollution and waste?    Page | 15                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     iii. Is the building designed to maximize passive and natural sources of heating, cooling,  ventilation, and lighting?   iv. Are innovative strategies and technologies employed such as porous paving to conserve  water, reduce effluent and run‐off, thus recharging the water table?  v. Is the project planned to reduce the need for individual automobiles, use alternative fuels,  and encourage public and alternate modes of transportation?  vi. Is the building constructed and operated using materials, methods, and mechanical and  electrical systems that ensure a healthful indoor air quality while avoiding contamination by  carcinogens, volatile organic compounds, fungi, molds, bacteria, and other known toxins?  vii. Are the HVAC system's outdoor air intakes located as high as possible above the ground and  far enough away from the exhaust ducts to reduce the intake of ground level air pollution?  viii. Are stainless‐steel‐strip bird guards installed over the horizontal rooftop outdoor air intakes  to prevent birds from settling on the grating and polluting the shafts below?  ix. Does the HVAC have an efficiency air filtration system with pre‐filters and final filters at 30 %  and 85% efficiency respectively?  x. Are air filters designed to be easy to access and clean and/or replace? See WBDG Sustainable  O&M Practices.  xi. Has the exposed fiberglass within the HVAC system been encapsulated to eliminate  amplification sites for fungal and bacterial micro‐organisms?  xii. Is the rate of ventilation with outdoor air at least 25 cubic feet per minute?  xiii. Are copy rooms, rooms with 3D printers or laser cutters, and similar spaces that emit possibly  toxic substances equipped with their own dedicated air exhaust systems?  xiv. Is particleboard that emits formaldehyde emissions prohibited in the building? See WBDG  Evaluating and Selecting Green Products.  xv. Is furniture constructed without particleboard that emits formaldehyde? See WBDG  Evaluating and Selecting Green Products.  xvi. Are only solvent‐free paints specified for the project? See WBDG Evaluating and Selecting  Green Products.  xvii. Are low‐emitting, solvent‐free adhesives specified for the project? See WBDG Evaluating and  Selecting Green Products.  h. Fenestration  The arrangement, proportioning, and design of windows and doors in the building must provide  for ADA access, maximum natural light, and controlled access.  Emergency exits must be clearly  marked and alarmed.  Windows must have proper shading or filament lining to provide protection  to library materials, reduce heat and damaging effects of the sun while still providing maximum  light. Page | 16         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  i.Interior Materials and Finishes Interior materials and finishes shall: meet code requirements; be of attractive, durable materials that require minimal maintenance; and be environmentally safe. In the selection of interior finishes, factors such as durability, ease of cleaning, potential repair, replacement costs and resistance to vandalism need to be considered. xii.Floors 1.Structural capacity of floors shall meet library load and seismic requirements. 2.Multiple surfaces are to be used to spatially define various areas of the library, ensuring that all flooring choices fit within the facility’s theme and overall design. 3.Carpeting is preferred for children’s areas and quiet rooms. Carpeting shall be anti‐ static, woven, commercial grade and glued down without padding. It shall be designed for easy replacement of high wear areas. 4.The architect will write specifications to ensure that high‐quality, durable flooring is chosen and properly installed in every facet of the facility. 5.Non‐skid surfaces are recommended for the staff Lounge and storage areas. 6.Slip‐resistant tile surfaces or cement flooring is recommended for the restrooms. 7.Provide for rubber mats which can be removed for cleaning at entrances in order to capture track off dirt and debris. A high‐traffic grade carpet should be chosen at the entrance for walk‐off purposes. 8.Anti‐fatigue mats are required at service desks. Other staff work stations should be examined and the best flooring to meet comfort and efficiency needs determined. xiii.Ceilings 1.An industrial, open‐beam style of ceiling is preferred. 2.Acoustically treated materials for sound absorption should be considered. 3.All materials must be neutral or white tones for ultimate dissemination of light. 4.In some specific areas, materials less neutral in tone and texture may be applied to enhance themes and ambience. xiv. Walls 1.Provide display surfaces such as tack board or dry erase marker surfaces in locations specified, such as the Children’s Room, the Meeting Room(s) or for community information boards. 2.At locations where book stacks are to be placed, ensure stacks and walls are seismically anchored. 3.Include a way to display art in entry way, Quiet Room, and Meeting Room(s) if possible. 4.Pay careful attention to walls on which shelving will be anchored to avoid conflicts among items such as light switch placement, fire extinguisher placement, thermometers, etc. Page | 17         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  j.Access for the Disabled xv.ADA requirements must be met in all design elements, including, but not limited to: 1.Walkways and parking. 2.Aisles, counter heights, and restrooms. 3.Public computer workstation. 4.Public self‐checkout station. k.Acoustics xvi.Good acoustics are essential in a modern library. A busy library branch is bustling with sounds and activities, and the facility should be designed with an attempt to mitigate this noise as much as possible. xvii.Flooring, wall and furniture surfaces should also be selected based on the contribution to the acoustics balance throughout the building. xviii.Special consideration should be given to preventing the disruption of designated quiet areas by noise levels in places such as the Children’s Room, Teen Area, Innovation Lab or Service Desk. l.Environmental Conditions (HVAC) xix.Good quality air distribution is even more important than temperature settings. Humidity should also be controlled, both for human comfort and the preservation of book paper and bindings. xx.The consulting engineers are to provide an effective filter system to reduce particulate matter in the interior environment if possible. The cost of such a system should be offset by reductions in the time maintenance staff spend dusting. A slightly positive air pressure in the library would further contribute to this goal. xxi.Zone building so that HVAC can be controlled independently if possible. For example the larger meeting room should be provided with its own HVAC controls, so that its use can be restricted to the time when the room is occupied, thus achieving environmental efficiencies. m.Illumination Libraries are about books, people and light. How the library is lighted can make the difference between a bland gray industrial look and an exciting glorious space in which the materials become the decoration and people have a marvelous choice of sunlit reading and study spaces and cozy comfortable individual study carrels. xxii. Lighting control must be available for each area with light switches conveniently located at staff entrances and at the Service Desk.  No switches should be located in the public area. Night lighting switches should be near the door that staff exits at night. Lights can be controlled by a central timer and be motion activated as well.   Page | 18                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     xxiii. Considerations for lighting that may be useful in achieving a beautiful and functional library  include:  1. Have the orientation such that people walk towards natural light.   2. Place windows in the direction of travel as people walk around the building,  especially in the book stacks.   3. Stacks should be oriented so one never walks down stack aisles towards a blank  wall. If windows cannot be placed, book displays or flat screen monitors should be  positioned so that people have something to look at.  4. Library lighting should be inviting to make reading and other work a simpler task.  5. Natural light should be utilized whenever possible to bring the outdoors in, evoking  the sense of calm and peace which a library should provide and saving energy as  well.   6. Large panels of glass should be able to keep the inside at proper ambient  temperatures in summer and winter, while still allowing plenty of light in.  7. South‐facing windows tend to have the longest hours of light but can also be  problematic, often allowing in very harsh light, requiring expensive shades to  lessen it at certain times of day. South‐facing windows are also difficult to keep  looking clean, with such intense light coming through for such long periods of time.  Finding a way to utilize the southern sun without it being in people's faces is a  challenge. On the other hand, indirect light from the north, west and east can be  wonderful much of the day. People are often drawn to it, while shying away from  the glare of harsher light.   8. Staff office areas will include natural light and windows if possible.  xxiv. Maintained lighting intensity will be measured at:   1. Public service desks: 50 foot candles measured horizontally at the counter top.  2. Staff areas: 50 foot candles.  3. Conference room: 30‐40 foot candles with dimmers.  Meeting rooms: 40 foot candles average with “zoned” lighting on dimmers.  4. Reading areas: 30‐40 foot candles.  xxv. In areas where electrical light is needed, recessed ceiling lighting which has good longevity  and does not hum is important. The warm glow of lamps in some reading areas will be  welcome. Lamps provide a homey feel, inviting people to relax, get comfortable, and read.   xxvi. Controlling Sunlight  1. Ultraviolet light from the sun damages paper and bindings.   Use overhangs and  awnings to control direct sunlight. New products, such as high E windows and  fritted glass, are available that filter sunlight and reduce the heat gain that formerly  made perimeter window seats unusable in hot summer days.   2. Avoid direct skylights over staff work or user locations.  3. Indirect natural sunlight is wonderful for library users and should be introduced  into all library areas where possible.   4. Consider clerestory windows set back from the side walls to bring natural indirect  light into the middle of the facility.    Page | 19                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                       xxvii. Controlling Glare  1. In many libraries designed before energy conservation, large numbers of  fluorescent lamps were placed in the ceiling to mimic the effect of skylights. People  in these libraries suffered from glare, which often produced headaches.    2. Select lenses for light fixtures that will diffuse light and prevent glare. These can  be simple egg‐crates or more directional parabolic units.  3. In some areas of the library where a variety of tasks are performed in close  proximity, it will be useful to consider a system that will deliver uniform indirect  light over the entire area. This can be accomplished by installing indirect lighting  fixtures under a white reflective ceiling so that the light will shine up and be  diffused by the ceiling over a wide area. This indirect light strikes the viewing  surfaces from many angles thus diffusing glare and providing a comfortable  reading level for most tasks. If the light source is hidden from view there will be no  glare from the light source to disturb long‐term users.  4. Spot lighting of exhibits of interesting books throughout the library will add to the  color and interest of the browsing experience.  xxviii. Lamp choices  1. Consider LED lamps that have long life and consume the least amount of power  wherever possible.  2. Provide an array of table reading lamps, some with power connectivity.  xxix. Lamp color  1. Natural full spectrum lighting should be used as a health benefit as well as making  the library more attractive.  xxx. Book stack lighting  1. It is possible to light book stacks indirectly, however the narrow book spines and  small type are often difficult to see in dim light.  2. Direct lighting of book stacks with fixtures that run parallel to the stack ranges and  are hung from the ceiling will dramatize the materials and may result in more use  of materials.   3. LED lighting may be useful for book display purposes.  xxxi. Sustainable design concerns and operating cost  1. Consideration must be given to heat gain from lighting when looking at air  conditioning and heating control.  2. Maintenance, ease of replacement, and fixture cleaning as well as energy  efficiency (electronic ballasts), life of lamps, and initial and replacement cost  should be considered in selecting and locating fixtures.  In one FCPL library a boom  lift is required to change fixtures, making it very cost prohibitive.  3. Costs for electricity and maintenance will increase, so select fixtures, lenses and  lamps that are easy to clean and replace and burn cool for longer life.  4. Use low intensity light in non‐reading areas, such as traffic aisles.  5. Control glare and reflection by diffusers, louvers and light locations.    Page | 20                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     6. Let users control task lighting through the use of table and floor lamps.  7. White ceilings and white walls will increase light, especially in small rooms.  8. Limit light intensity variation in small rooms or in contiguous areas.  9. Consider LEDs that burn longer and require less energy per lumen output than  many other types of lighting.    xxxii. Floor coverings  1. Light colored reflective floor materials increase light on bottom shelves as  compared to carpeting.   2. Cork floors are reflective and absorb sound.  xxxiii. Lighting and graphics  1. Light fixture locations must be coordinated with location of graphics to assure that  light does not obscure signs. This can only be achieved by planning graphics and  lighting at the same time during the project.   xxxiv. Layered lighting  1. Layered lighting combines ambient and task lighting.  a. Ambient Lighting: A low level of ambient lighting will provide for general  illumination. This ambient lighting will be low‐glare, and accomplished by  perimeter luminaires as well as hanging lamps that indirectly reflect light  from a white ceiling.  b. Task Lighting: Non‐glare task lighting is directly related to functions such  as illumination of displays, reading surfaces, and lounge seating. This can  be accomplished by floor or table lamps or recessed ceiling fixtures. Task  lighting should be as adjustable as possible including long, flexible  electrical wires attached to ceiling fixtures that may be easily relocated  when functions change. Task lighting should be capable of being controlled  by the user, with lamps on swivel arms.  xxxv. Wall wash display lighting  1. Perimeter, ceiling‐mounted wall wash book display lighting fixtures should be  installed at least three feet out from the walls and include elliptical reflectors in  order to cast light all the way down the wall.   xxxvi. Marketing materials  1. In the browsing area where the front covers of books, DVDs, videos and CDs are  featured, it may be advisable to supplement the indirect light with dramatic spot  lighting of materials just as in bookstores.  xxxvii. Meeting room lighting  1. In meeting rooms, light dimmers will be especially useful to vary the intensity of  light depending on the program content. The controls for these should be mounted  near the stage or speaker area in the front of the room, and there should be  separate light controls for the stage or podium, the audience, and the aisles.       Page | 21         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  n.Safety and Security xxxviii.Staff Workspaces 1.Safety and security of staff, materials and equipment should be a primary consideration in locating work areas. Work areas should not be dead‐ended enclosed space where staff may be confined or isolated with patrons. Staff should have access to automatic dialing 911 equipment near their work stations. There must be at least two exits in the staff area. Staff work spaces will be secured via HIRSCH technology; doors will open only for those staff with identification badges permitting them access. xxxix.Public Areas 1.The design should create a sense of privacy for users, while not making them feel they are under surveillance. There should be no hidden areas; all areas should be easily supervised from staff work stations. An internal and external  monitoring system with cameras throughout the building sending images to a central position, like the circulation desk, that always has a staff member present to monitor activity in the building should be considered. Use of low stacks and furnishing is encouraged within the rooms, as is the orientation of stacks to allow staff supervision. The design should allow for the staff to see as much of the Library as possible from the service desk, while not compromising aesthetic or function. There should continue to be one public entrance that is fully visible from the service desk. Other areas of concern include restrooms and the children’s room. There should be separate restrooms for adults and children that are fully visible to employees staffing those respective areas. xl.Safeguarding Property 1.All materials are tagged with radio frequency identification. If an item is removed from the building without the RFID tag being deactivated, an alarm will sound. Security gates from the current building will be brought to the new building. xli.Security system 1.A security system should be maintained that has a direct link to policing services. xlii.Internet protection. 1.Library policy mandates Internet filtering from all hard wired desktop computers, as well as any mobile device in the building utilizing the Library’s wireless Internet connection. Those found to be out of compliance are subject to disciplinary measures. xliii.Emergencies 1.Staff must be prepared for natural and man‐made disasters. Response plans are in place for every building and posted in a high traffic zone of the employee area (generally, the break room/lounge). Fire drills are practiced annually. The building must have exits that are not only in compliance with local and federal laws but that make logical sense to customers who might be exiting during extreme circumstances.   Page | 22                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     xliv. Construction Materials  1. All construction materials that pose a health hazard should be avoided or their  danger mitigated. Flame retardant materials should be used throughout. Audible  and visual fire alarms should be provided throughout the building according to  code, with extinguishers chosen for ease‐of‐use.  Smoke and heat sensors must be  provided in all areas including air ducts. Other alarms should warn of heating  system failure and basement flooding. All alarms should continue to be tied  automatically to the Fire Department. The appropriate fire official should be  contacted early in the design phase, to ensure the proper placement of  extinguishers, exit signs, carbon monoxide sensors and alarm boxes. If this is not  done early, it often leads to problems with stack or furniture placement dislocation  due to code restrictions.    o. Signage  A library is to a great extent a self‐service operation, but the wide variety of services and materials  offered by libraries require explanation and guidance. Graphic signs help users find their way to a  particular book with minimal staff assistance. Lighting, furnishings and colors work together with  graphics to assist patrons in differentiating among services. For graphics to work effectively they  must be planned early in the design sequence to coordinate with furnishings, colors and especially  lighting. The following guidelines should be helpful in planning graphics:   Clear, professional signage should delineate each area and service desk. Area signs should  be visible from the library entrance where possible, and should permit the user to orient  themselves immediately on entry.    There should be a library map at the entrance.    A large LED/LCD panel mounted near the Service Desk is an attractive method to display  changing information such as programs, book sales, lectures, etc.   Visual cues like color coding are often more quickly read by those finding their way in new  places.    All stack areas should be clearly marked. Each stack should have its range displayed in  large print on both end panels.   Signage should complement the décor and be consistent throughout the building. ADA  requires Braille.   Library hours should be posted on the front door of the Library, directly where people  entering the building will see it in their line of sight.  o Exceptions to these hours such as special holiday schedules should also be posted  here.  Page | 23         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  In selecting size consider background and distance. One‐inch high letters for every 50 feet of visibility would call for two‐inch high letters on a sign designed to be seen 100 feet away. Consider how the sign compares with the background. A dark background sign with light white letters is easier to read and avoids the glare reflected from a light background. Use a simple, sans serif, familiar type style that is easily obtainable and easy to read, such as Helvetica. Graphics can be esthetically pleasing as well as functional, and should be designed to coordinate with the architecture and furnishings. Location, colors, furnishings, lighting and graphics can be helpful in affecting behavior and locating materials. They should all be coordinated at an early planning stage, not after construction is completed. Signs should use positive language. Avoid negative signs, especially large permanent ones that are difficult to enforce such as "No food in the library". Flyers, posters, maps and directories may be more useful than signs. Standard height center point is 54". Use capitals and lower case rather than all upper case. Never stack letters one on top of the other, i.e., place the word in a vertical fashion. Arrow panels used to indicate directions should be produced separately from letter panels so that letter panels can be changed without changing arrows. User categories such as teens or children should be identified and destinations charted in preparation for specifications. Plan by: o user category o user destination o traffic flow o decision points where patrons pause or turn. Projected signage using laser beams can be very effective in locating a library building during the evening. Signs located on the front of service desks become quickly invisible when library patrons are standing in front of the desk. Instead use signs raised above the desks. ADA requirements for type and placement of signs should be consulted. p.Power and Data Communication Requirements i.Electrical 1.General: specific electric needs are listed throughout the documents. These should be displayed on the electrical sheet. The electrical and data specialists must coordinate and overlay their work. 2.Install battery or atomic clocks in locations as specified in the equipment lists. The clocks must be easy to read and accessible for changing the time (if the clocks are not atomic). 3.Provide alternate bid for wiring for a public address system.  It will be used to provide a channel for emergency messages or announcements and for clearing the   Page | 24                                                                                                        Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016                     building of users at the close of each day.  Speakers should be located in all parts  of the library with individual room controls; final decisions will be made in  conjunction with library staff.  4. Wall outlets are appropriate when carefully planned around shelving and other  furnishing layouts.  Outlets away from wall and columns should be flush‐floor  mounted and capped.  Floor monuments are not acceptable.  5. Electrical and data outlets shall be integral to furniture wherever possible.  6. Provide power by the front entry for a "people counter".  7. Specific electric needs are listed in the Library Division Section under Electric.  ii. Data Communication Requirements  1. General: a raised floor will be installed for greatest flexibility and adaptability. Data  communications in a modern library are complex and integral to the services of  the library. Care should be given now for building infrastructure that will withstand  change and adaptability in an‐ever evolving digital world.  2. A data communications consultant who specializes in libraries should be part of  the architect’s contract.  3. A separate sheet showing data layout is required.  4. The specialist will prepare the sheet detailing the data distribution system. This  sheet must be harmonious with the electrical specifications.  5. Ground all outlets.  6. Provide a 20 amp circuit for every 4 PCs.  7. Provide a separate 20‐amp circuit for telecommunications equipment with  separate duplex receptacles.   8. Placement of electrical, data, and telephone outlets must be coordinated with the  library’s furniture schedule. This need should be stated on the building plans.  9. The latest version of cabling is to be installed as a part of the construction contract.  10. All conduits will be a minimum of ¾” diameter or larger and allow for inclusion of  additional expansion cables.  11. Telecommunications closet  i. The Library’s network administration experts are to be consulted during  the design and implementation phase of this closet.  ii. An Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system for the server will be  installed in the telecommunications closet.  iii. A plywood backboard should be mounted for telecommunications  equipment.  After schematic design is complete the library will provide a  diagram showing the method it prefers.  iv. Electrical should be at least one foot away from DMARC in the  telecommunications closet.  v. The electric panel in the telecommunications closet shall include one (1)  separate 110 circuit and a battery backup for the telephone system.  vi. Independent temperature and humidity controls will be installed for the  telecommunications room to accommodate the heat load produced by  technology hardware.  Adequate ventilation and air circulation will also be  taken into account.  vii. Install one voice line jack.  12. Data and electrical lines are not to be placed in the same conduit.  13. Data conduits are to be provided for multiple terminals on the main floor,  computer and mobile device charging area, children’s room, work room/employee  area, Innovation Lab, service desk, self‐check stations, copy center and meeting  Page | 25         Fresno County Public Library  Clovis Regional Library Building Program  September 2016  rooms.  Final placement will depend on furniture and equipment layout.  When  feasible a wireless system may be substituted as additional ports of access.  14.For all public terminals, cables and wires must be stored out of view. iii.Telephone The Architect and the Library shall jointly develop the library telephone system, citing specific needs at any service point. q.Restrooms i.Restrooms shall be in clear view from the service desk on the main floor. There shall also be a family restroom provided in the Children’s Room. 1.Provide vandal‐resistant material that repels graffiti. 2.Specifications for paper products dispensers are to be approved by Library maintenance staff. 3.Baby‐changing stations shall be provided in all restrooms. 4.Include floor drains in each restroom. 5.Water fountains shall be installed outside each public restroom. ii.A staff restroom should be provided in the work room.  A shower should be included. r.Master List of Furniture and Equipment To be developed jointly with the Library, Architect and Designer.

Sec. 1921 et seq.), and where federal regulations or policies, or both, do not allow the substitution of securities. At the request and expense of the contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the public agency, or with a state or federally chartered bank in this state as the escrow agent, who shall then pay those moneys to the contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the securities shall be returned to the contractor. (b) Alternatively, the contractor may request and the owner shall make payment of retentions earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the contractor. At the expense of the contractor, the contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and the contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for in this section for securities deposited by the contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the contractor shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments received by the escrow agent from the owner, pursuant to the terms of this section. (c) Securities eligible for investment under this section shall include those listed in Section 16430 of the Government Code, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed to by the contractor and the public agency. The contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for moneys withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. Failure to include these provisions in bid and contract documents shall void any provisions for performance retentions in a public agency contract. For purposes of this section, the term “public agency” shall include, but shall not be limited to, chartered cities. (d) (1) Any contractor who elects to receive interest on moneys withheld in retention by a public agency shall, at the request of any subcontractor, make that option available to the subcontractor regarding any moneys withheld in retention by the contractor from the subcontractor. If the contractor elects to receive interest on any moneys withheld in retention by a public agency, then the subcontractor shall receive the identical rate of interest received by the contractor on any retention moneys withheld from the subcontractor by the contractor, less any actual pro rata costs associated with administering and calculating that interest. In the event that the interest rate is a fluctuating rate, the rate for the subcontractor shall be determined by calculating the interest rate paid during the time that retentions were withheld from the subcontractor. If the contractor elects to substitute securities in lieu of retention, then, by mutual consent of the contractor and subcontractor, the subcontractor may substitute securities in exchange for the release of moneys held in retention by the contractor. (2) This subdivision shall apply only to those subcontractors performing more than five percent of the contractor's total bid. (3) No contractor shall require any subcontractor to waive any provision of this section. (e) The Legislature hereby declares that the provisions of this section are of statewide concern and are necessary to encourage full participation by contractors and subcontractors in public contract procedures.
