Funding for the project comes from the NYS Library Construction Aid grant.  Permission to proceed with the project is given by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), due to the historic status of the library building.

Sealed bids will be received by the Richfield Springs Public Library Board of Trustees at PO Box 1650, Richfield Springs, NY 13439, until December 23, 2021.

Bid proposals received after the date and time specified in the invitation may be considered unresponsive and may be returned to the Bidder unopened. 

The Richfield Springs Public Library encourages the submission of bids by companies that are certified as Minority-owned, Women-owned, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. 

The Richfield Springs Public Library reserves the right to reject any and all bids or waive any informality in the bidding.

The bids will be opened at the next Library Board of Trustees public meeting on January 11th at 4 pm.  The winning bid will be announced in the newspapers as well as on our Facebook page and the library website https://libraries.4cls.org/richfieldsprings.

Mask Mandate

Please note, despite the new mask mandate, the Richfield Springs Public Library still requires a mask to be worn when you come into the library. As we serve patrons who are still at-risk, until the COVID-19 vaccine is available to all individuals, we ask that you adhere to our requirements.
 
If you are working at the computers, or in the memorial room at the tables, you are welcome to remove your mask.
 
Thank you for your cooperation.
