Subject: Acoustical Consulting Proposal
Burlingame Public Library
Burlingame, CA
Dear Mr. McCulley,
This document will present our proposal for acoustical consulting services related to excessive
noise conditions at the Burlingame Main Public Library.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We understand the Burlingame Main Public Library was built and opened in 1931 with a major
reconstruction in 1997 and a more recent interior renovation. There is concern for excessive
noise transmission vertically between floors via the openness of the interior space, especially
when children and young adults are present i.e. after school. We have been asked to visit the site
to observe the building in use and to make comments and recommendations that would help to
reduce/minimize noise transmission in certain spaces.
SCOPE OF WORK
Based on our current understanding, we outline below the scope of work we anticipate for this
project:
Visit the site to look at the building structure and meet to discuss the issues (done); Observe and
experience the noise issues that have been identified; Assess the cause and severity of the
problems and provide potential solutions to meet owner/occupant expectations.
Our work product will take the form of sketches and notes to indicate the noise problems and
recommendations with supporting narrative where necessary to explain our recommendations.
We would request as built drawings of the library, assuming they are available.
The specific areas of concern (in order of priority) include:
• Main Level Teen Area:
Reduce the noise level in the Teen area and from the noise traveling to other areas of library
• Lower Level Lane Community Room:
Optimize the existing interior space to support live music events. This includes reducing
excessive noise from the HVAC and air distribution system.
• Main Level Library Reading Room:
Provide conceptual recommendations for optimum room sound quality and loudspeaker options.
• Main Level Children's Area:
Reduce the noise level from the Children's Area from traveling to other other areas of the library
If requested, we can follow-up with additional detailed or new recommendations. We can also be
available to perform additional consulting work on the project during and after construction as
requested, based on our initial findings and follow up discussions.
At this time, no acoustical measurements of before or after conditions of acoustical environments
are being proposed.
CONSULTING FEE
Our estimated technical consulting fee for the initial site visit, assessment, and recommendations
described above is $ 2,500. There are no additional reimbursable expenses. We have allotted up
to 10 hours of consulting work associated with the scope of work described above.
All other additional consulting work, if required, can be discussed after our initial level of effort
is completed.
TERMS OF AGREEMENT
Fees contained in this proposal are valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the proposal.
Invoicing: Fees are invoiced monthly on the basis of the percentage of completion or level of
effort for the given scope of work. Invoices are due and payable within 30 days of invoice date.
Architectural Drawings and Documentation: Fees contained in this proposal are based on the
assumption that project drawings and documentation as required will be provided in a timely
fashion in order to complete our work.
Additional Services: The scope of services for this project shall be limited to those expressly
set forth herein, and shall have no other obligations or responsibilities except as agreed to in
writing or as provided in this agreement.
2
If additional services or scope of work is required, including request for changes in previously
approved work, additional compensation will be invoiced at the following standard hourly rates:
Principal $250
Support staff as required $115-$200
Reimbursable Expenses: Reimbursable expenses, if approved, will be invoiced at cost, for
project -related direct expenses including, but not limited to travel and lodging, printing, express
mail delivery, etc. Automobile usage outside of the San Francisco Bay Area will be invoiced at
the rate of $.55/mile. A nominal equipment use charge will be invoiced for measurement
equipment and other materials required during the course of the testing process.
Contract Termination: Should the project be suspended for more than three (3) months or
abandoned or should our services be terminated prior to our completion of the approved scope of
work, we shall be compensated for all services performed and reimbursable expenses expended
up to the date of receipt of written termination notice.
If the project is resumed after being suspended for more than three (3) months, our compensation
shall be equitably adjusted.
Extent of Agreement: This agreement will constitute the entire agreement of the parties
concerning the project and supersedes all prior negotiations. This agreement may be modified
only in writing, if agreed to by both parties.
If you find this proposal agreeable, kindly signify your acceptance in the space provided below,
and return a copy for our files. We are available to begin work on this project when formal
authorization is received.
Sincerely yours,
Dennis Paoletti Principal FASA FAIA

Mateoan Public Library
Description of Programming Concept
As new and emerging trends occur in the library profession, it is important for the San Mateo Public
Library to consider integrating such trends in order to increase usage and engage different
demographics, specifically library patrons in their 20s and 30s. One such trend is the inclusion of
alcoholic beverages as part of the complement of refreshments at library programs. Non-alcoholic
beverages such as iced tea and coffee would also be available. Though alcohol would be available at
these programs, it would not be the focus nor would it be explicitly advertised on the flyer. The library
would strive to keep the focus on the topic at hand and while the subject matter may be alcohol -related,
the purpose of the program is educational and serves the Library's goal of engaging community
members that fall into the millennial generation.
Controlled Registration
Library patrons would rsvp to the event either online using the website Smoothbook (an online
appointment site) or Eventbrite. Using this method will allow the Library to target those who range in
age from 21 to 35. Publicity will explicitly delineate that the program is for those who are 21 and older.
Registration of Attendees
Attendees would need to check -in when they arrive to confirm they are on the registration list.
No Sale of Alcoholic Beverages
The event is free and open to those who are 21 and over. There would not be any sales of alcoholic
beverages. Funding for this program would be provided by the Library Foundation.
Servers of Alcohol Beverages
Alcohol would only be served and poured by Library staff. Beer and wine will only be served in plastic
cups. To control consumption, each attendee will receive 2 tickets that they can redeem for 2 alcoholic
beverages. Each program would be staffed by 2-3 library staff who would monitor exits and control
usage.
LEAD/Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Training
Library staff would complete the LEAD/Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) training.
Public Safety
All requisites proposed by the City and City Police would be followed.
