BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Based on City Council identified priority projects, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for
preparation of a Tustin Library Needs Assessment Facility Plan was issued this last July. The
RFQ was issued to twenty (20) leading firms as recommended by the County Public Library
Department, other cities who have recently undertaken similar efforts, as well as the Library
Administration and Management Association, a division of the American Library Association.
In response to the RFQ, two responses were received from the firms of David M. Griffith &
Associates, LTD and Providence Associates Inc. The Redevelopment Agency at their meeting on
September 15th, appointed a Library Ad-hoc Planning Committee to review and recommend to
the Agency the preferred library consultant. Additionally, the Ad-hoc Committee will work with
the selected consultant to develop and understanding of various library constituents, their
concerns and issues, identify specific library needs and priorities and will seek community
consensus and recommend to the City Council a vision or Master Plan for future library services
and facilities in Tustin. A list of Library Ad-hoc Planning Committee members is included as
Attachment A.
Based on the Committee's interviews with each consultant firm responding to the RFQ, the
Committee's review of sample work products that each consultant team submitted to the
Committee after the interviews, and reference checks conducted by Agency staff', the Committee's
consensus was that the Agency should proceed with the firm of David M. Griffith for completion
of the scope of work requested.

OUR APPROACH TO THE PROJE~.
This section of our proposal outlines our understanding of
Tustin's study objectives and describes our approach to the project to
achieve these study Objectives.
(1.) Our Understanding of Study Objectives.
The City of Tustin Wishes to develop a comprehensive
approach to public library service. As a member City of the
Orange County Library System, the City has recently agreed to the
restructuring of the County Library and the consequent
responsibilities of the member Cities. It is intended that the
County would continue to provide library services to any future
facility developed for the City of Tustin. The recent agreement has
a provision for supplying additional hours and services which can
be negotiated between the City and County Library. This study
will give the City of Tustin the framework from which to further
develop the partnership with the County Library. Specifically the
City is loo -king for:
a needs assessment for library services and facilities
in Tustin;
evaluation of current services and facilities being
provided;
development of recommendations and associated costs
for implementing' desired services and facilities.
Key to this comprehensive study is the involvement of the
community in planning and evaluating library services. The Ad
Hoc Library Planning Committee is an important representative
body which will work closely with the consultants throughout the
study. In addition to work with the Planning Committee,
extensive public involvement is needed to develop a vision for the
future of library services, and the process desi~o'ned for this study
must be inclusive and thorough.
Following is our approach to the project and the specific
work tasks needed to accomplish the objectives listed above with
the community involvement so necessary to this project.
·
(2.) Our Approach to the Project.
Based on our recent experience addressing library service
delivery issues, we would strongly agree with Tustin's direction that
the project include close work with the Ad Hoc Library Planning
Committee over the course of the project, and that the Committee
David M. Griffith & Associates Page
· -~ Statement of '~Ii~cations to Prepare a
Libra.;.~ Weeds Assessment and Facility..an for the City of Tustin
include representation from the parties which ~vould be affected by
the outcomes of the project.
Iri addition, we have found that holding a series of community
meetings/focus groups will help the consultant define service levels
based on community identified needs. Issues associated with the
definition of specific library service objectives include the following:
There are no established mad accepted set of standards ~
library services. While thirty years ago, the American
Library Association proposed basic standards involving
such measures as library facility space per capita,
library materials per capita, and the like, these service
level "standards" were discontinued in the 1980% in
recognition that service demands differ by community
reflecting differences in socio - economic characteristics.
Instead, service standards need to be developed in the
context of commullity e-xt>ecf, atioIls and based on
comparative analysis of ser~4ce level ranges in
communities with comparable socio - economic
characteristics. We have found that this can best be
accomplished by:
Incorporating an approach ~o eliciting community
attitudes toward library service issues into the
analysis. Beginning ~-ith in~e~views with elected
officials, key community members, this process
will establish the major areas for exploration. A
survey mailed as a part of regular City
communication could provide information from
non-users of library services. Finally, following
the interviews and survey ~dth focus groups and a
community workshop on library services and
issues should provide a fully developed picture of
community library needs and expectations.
Benchmarking library service levels in
communities comparable to Tustin to pro~dde a
comparative context x~.-ithin which target service
levels for Tustin can be identified.
Working with the 'Ad Hoc Library Planning
Committee, comprised of City management,
interested residents, and council members to
work with the consultant during the project to
review the progress reports and provide guidance
in the discussion of alternative facility and service

levels and other related choices associated with

Worldng xvith the project steering committee so that the
client is involved in each stage of the analysis by:
Preparing a series of detailed progress reports,
keyed to each critical juncture of the study, which
present our findings, conclusions, and
recommendations as they are developed.
Reviewing these reports with the project steering
'committee, at each critical stage of the project, so
that study results can be reviewed and evaluated
by the client as they are developed. This is useful
in ensuring that:
The client fully understands the analysis
and resulting findings, conclusions, and
re'commendations as they are developed.
The client can quality control our work so
that there are no unfulfilled study
expectations at the end of the project.

Task 1-- Meet with City Staff to Clarify Ex3>ectations, Project Scope,
and to Identify Issues of Concern Related to the Facility and
to the Delivery of Library Services.
This task would involve initial meetings between the
consultant and the City Manager and key staff to discuss and clarify
any issues related to the scope and conduct of the project. We will
review the proposed workplan, project schedule, formation of a
project steering committee, and plans for preparing and submitting
periodic progress reports.

After the interviews, the consultant team will assist City staff
in designing a questionnaire which can be distributed through
regular City channels or the mail, which will elicit opinions and
perspectives about library service in the community. This survey is
important because it will reach the non-users of library services, and

This task will involve the conduct of up to four focus groups to
identify the community's sense of the library's role as it is currently
in the community. In addition, this process will result in a report on
the community's perceptions of library and information needs,
issues, desired services, facilities and programs for the library of the
future. Focus groups will be constituted with the assistance of City
staff, but could include separate groups of:
· Business and commercial representatives.
· Education professionals.

age groups.
· Parents.
Staff assistance will be needed to help identify the most
appropriate groupings for the focus groups, and to identify and invite
participants to the-groups. Logistical assistance would also be
needed.
The results of the focus groups will form the basis for the
vision of library services in Tustin. Focus group results will be
documented in a detailed Progress Report and reviewed with the Ad
Hoc Library Planning Committee.
Task 7-- Conduct a Comrnu.~tv Meeting tO Further Develop
Community Consensus on a Vision for Future L~brarv
Services and Facilities in Tustin.
The Community Meeting or Town Hall Meeting will be an'
opportunity to solicit community input and validate the results of the
Focus Groups completed in. the previous task. The involvement of the
Community in an open meeting brings the element of citizen
participation into t~s process and makes the study connected to the
community in a positive way. It will be important to schedule the
Community Meeting at an appropriate time, with adequate notice
and advertisement. If it is possible, the local cable television could
also broadcast such a meeting, with participants providing input via

TUSTIN LIBi:L~.RY NEEDS ASSESSMENT .4~ND FACILITY PL.4cN
Introduction
The City of Tustin-is requesting Statement of Qualifications from firms interested in
providing services for preparation of a'needs assessment for library sen'ices and
facilities in Tustin, and evaluation of current Services and facilities being provided, and
development of. recommendations and associated costs for implementing desired
services and facilities.
II.
Back~round
A. City of Tustin -
The City of Tustin is located in 'central Orange County and encompasses an area of
11.02 square miles. The City is bounded on the south' by the cities of In, hue and Santa
Aha, on the north by the unincorporated portions, of the County of Orange and the City.
of Orange, and on the east by unincorporated County territory and ~he City of Irvhue.
Within the context of the large Southern California region,-Tustin is located
approximately two miles north of Orange County's John Wayne Airport and is
transected by. two major regional freeways:' the 1-5 (Sap. ta Aha) Freeway,' divides the
City into north and south; and the SR-55 (Costa Mesa) Freeway, divides westerly
portions of the City.
There are thirteen elementary schools, four middle schools and two kigh schools'in the
Tustin' Unified" SchOol District, as well as several private and parochial schools. A
proposed' community college campus for South Orange County Community College
(formally Saddleback Community College) in collaboration with other commun/ty
college'districts, and institutions of higher learning in the County is scheduled at the
closing Marine Corp~ Air Station, Tustin located in the southeastern portion 'of the CID'.
There is one branch library in Tustin operated by the Orange County Public Library.'
The Agency provides services at a total of 27 branches in 22 incorporated.cities and
unincorporated areas of the County includ'.mg 3 re~onal.'and 24 branch libraries. The
central library administrative office is Ioc~ited. in Santa .ina.
-As a'result of 1993 property tax shift enacted by the State, the Orange County Public
Library lost some 34 percent of iTM operating funds resulting in significant re.ductions
in pro,am budgets and acquisitions.
The Tustin branch of the Orange Comnty Public Library is located at 345 E. Main
Street. This 15,000 square foot facility was constructed by the County on land that is
leased from the City of TUStin. "
Terms of the lease are through July, 2024 at which point the building becomes ~e
properly of the City of Tustin. Recently, the Tustin City Council mnanimo~ly agreed
that an examination of the adequacy of the current facility was a high' priori5' and
authorized staff to initiate an RFQ for sen,ices.
It is currently intended that the County would continue, to provide libra-y services to
any future facility. However, it is anticipated that the City would need to negotiate with
the County of Orange' Public Library modifications to the current lease to reflect the
City's investment in any improvements and to ensure that any additional program
services desked for the facility can be accommodated.
A_ny construction Mil be dependent on available and yet-to-be detem~ined financing.
.Scope of Work
The City's philosophy is that citizen participation is ex~emely impo~aant. The

hoc Library ?lanning Committee as well as' City elected officials, City Manager' and
staff, County library staff, community, leaders, !ibrary users, business and education
leaders, library non-users, various library support'group representatives (e.g., volunteers,
etc.), potential library operations, partners, and ai diverse cross section of residents
should be solicited using questionnaires, community meetings, interviews, focus ~oups
or other methods through the planning process. The consultant shall also analyze

The program and facility plan sh6uld be specific in terms of capacities
and dkections so that any schematic desig-a process that wsuld follow
subsequently would have the specific program defined and would be able
to meet the librao,'s functional requirements. All judgments regarding
space and fimctional needs of the library should be through the years
2015-2020. The scope does not involve an attempt to determine design
from an arckitectural point of view. Recommendations should focus
directly on the functional aspects of the proposed facility(s) and
'recommend general conditions regarding the environment of 'any
building(s) that is desired. The facility plan and its space requirements
