Coventry: Conditions Assessment, Booth & Dimock Library (1913) DEADLINE: November 30, 2021

The Booth & Dimock Memorial Library in Coventry, CT is seeking proposals to conduct an historic architectural/engineering analysis of the Library’s historic 1913 Building located at 1134 Main Street and develop a condition and assessment report that will assist in the future care and use of the property. Visible sagging of built-in bookshelves can be observed in the library’s historic parlors. Site inspections by an historic carpenter and structural engineer have concluded that a damaged floor joist is causing the settling. Completion of a thorough inspection of the structural aspects of the building will give the Board of Trustees an understanding of present and future maintenance needs.

The project is funded by grant funds from the State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development – State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The grant has been funded in the amount of $20,000.00. Work must be done in accordance with SHPO Standards and be completed by a 36 CFR Part 61 qualified Historical Architect.

 

The RFP deadline is November 30, 2021 in the Booth & Dimock Memorial Library Director’s Office 1134 Main Street, Coventry, CT. Responses to the RFP must be mailed, emailed or hand delivered to the address provided at the end of this document. See the full RFP document here.
