  "summary": "<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">The City of South San Francisco has decommissioned the former Main Library and replaced it with the recently opened Library and Parks and Recreation Building at 901 Civic Campus Way. The former Main Library is now closed and unoccupied. While the City of South San Francisco continues to study City-operated programs at this site, staff also wishes to seek qualified private and non-profit partners. The City is seeking innovative, community-oriented service providers to submit a proposal for operating within the former Main Library building. The preference is for a private preschool operator or similar school operator. The proposal could be for a single user or a combination of users, however &ndash; the ideal candidate will serve the local population, operate and maintain the building, and function as a master lessee. The City is open to creative proposals.</span><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></p><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></p><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><u>The former Main Library is described below to help guide proposals:</u></span><span class=\"eop\"><u>&nbsp;</u></span></p><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></p><ol style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><li style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0px; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Total Square Footage &ndash; Approximately 30,000 SF and two (2) stories built in 1966 with a functioning elevator</span><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></li></ol><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt -33pt; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p><ol style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" start=\"2\"><li style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0px; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Parking - 87 parking spaces and 4 accessible spaces</span><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></li></ol><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt -33pt; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p><ol style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" start=\"3\"><li style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0px; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Private and public restrooms on both floors; however, only the main floor has ADA accessible restrooms.</span><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></li></ol><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt -33pt; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p><ol style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" start=\"4\"><li style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0px; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">There is air conditioning in the building&rsquo;s lower floor only and window ventilation on the main/ground floor level.</span><span class=\"eop\">&nbsp;</span></li></ol><p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt -33pt; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p><ol style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\" start=\"5\"><li style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0px; font-size: 12pt;\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">A facility condition assessment was conducted in 2015 that identifies known maintenance needs.
