THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Niles-Maine District Library is planning significant lower and upper level renovations with a final master budget totaling approximately 2.71 million. The budget document from Frederick Quinn Corporation outlines pre-construction services, building renovations, contingencies, construction management fees, FFE, technology systems, A/E fees, testing, and owner costs, based on a Winter 2026 construction start.
The construction budget for building renovations is about 2.33 million at 5135 per square foot, with soft costs of roughly 375,000. This is budget-level detail, not yet a full record of all awarded contracts, and several substantial scopes are flagged as "By Owner," indicating future purchasing by the library outside of FQC’s construction budget. Vendors can position for those owner-furnished scopes and for change-order or expansion work as the project moves from budgeting into active procurement and implementation.
Final master budget revised 2026-06-10; assumes temporary facilities, hazardous material remediation, several technology and FFE items will be procured directly by the owner.
