The second stage of the request for proposal process to replace the Steveston Community Centre and branch library is expected to go live later this month.
An item in the Steveston Community Society’s autumn newsletter indicates that the City of Richmond had an overwhelming number of architect firms interested in bidding on the project, and as such the pre-qualification period was extended to Sept. 29.
The Steveston Community Society, along with the Richmond Public Library board, will be looking to form specific working groups and develop a game plan, the newsletter indicates.
With a completion date of late 2025 or early 2026, the estimated cost of the project is $90 million. City staff has recommended $64 million come from the capital building and infrastructure reserve, $21.3 million from the capital reserve, and $5.6 million from the Steveston community amenity provision. An additional $5 million is recommended for a construction escalation contingency fund.
