THE CITY OF COLLEYVILLE
Request for Proposal
RFP# 03-001
An Integrated Automated Library System for the City Of Colleyville
I. Nature of Request
The City of Colleyville invites qualified vendors to submit proposals to provide an integrated
automated library system at the first Colleyville Public Library. This request for proposal is
being submitted to library automation vendors for the City to collect sufficient information to
determine the most suitable and cost-effective system to meet our needs.
II. The Library's Plan for Selection of a Library Automation System
The Colleyville Public Library will have a local area network (LAN) functions such as sharing
data, staff email, print queues, and authentication that are handled by city systems. The library
will have Internet connectivity and Internet security via a router and firewall. The library will be
connected to the city network via another router. The City will also maintain a web presence for
the library.
The City requests the Vendor to propose an Integrated Library System that can provide a
number of functions such as public access catalog, cataloging, acquisitions, serials control,
circulation, inter-library loan, and user authentication. Other additional modules the City would
be interested in reviewing are media booking, reserve room, electronic gateway, Z39.50, and
remote patron authentication.
Other Integrated Library System peripherals the city would be interested in viewing are
portable scanners to check patron materials in and out. The portable scanners can also be
used for processing new items. Receipt that printers print material due dates for patrons and a
system printer that prints overdue notices. Related supplies include barcode labels, receipt
printer paper and spine labels.
III. Future Library
The City of Colleyville has contracted with Brinkley Sargent Architects for design services for a
new City Hall and Library. For design and construction purposes, the City Hall and Library are
considered one project (see attached design schematic). The City Hall and Library will be
located in the Village at Colleyville, which is located off Colleyville Boulevard (S.H. 26), north of
the intersection of Glade Road and S.H. 26 (see attached map of City facilities). A
construction contract for the City Hall and Library was approved on February 26, 2002 with
Ratcliff Constructors. The estimated owner occupation of the buildings is October 2003.
The Colleyville Public Library will be approximately 24,000 square feet (composed of two
floors). Strategic Information Management Services worked with F&S Partners library design
firm to develop a Technology Plan for the Library. The plan assumes that common local area
RFP #03-001 Page 2 of 20 Vendor's initials
network (LAN) functions such as data sharing, staff e-mail, print queues, and authentication
are handled by the City's system. The plan calls for fast Internet capability with a throughput of
a minimum of T1 with plans to move to T3 over time. The Library will be connected to the City
network via another router. The first floor of the Library is proposed to have 33 network drops
(voice and data) and 29 additional network drops (data only) on the first floor. The second
floor of the building will not have any network drop locations; although plans for building
include wiring whereby the City may add network drops in the future.
The technology plan includes the use of an Integrated Library System (ILS) to enable the staff
to manage and share resources and allow patrons to easily find and access electronic
resources. The basic ILS modules are cataloging, circulation, public access, and reporting.
Other modules include acquisition, inter-library loan, media booking, reserve room, and remote
patron authentication. The plan assumes purchasing a separate NT or UNIX server plus
operating system.
The Library will also use a number of peripherals. For opening day, the Library will utilize
fifteen (15) microcomputers (5 staff PCs and 10 public access PCs). The technology plan calls
for the use of thirty-eight (38) microcomputers for the finish-out of the building in the future (14
staff PCs and 24 public PCs). Additionally, the Library will utilize three (3) workgroup printers
(HP Laserjet 4100N equivalent), three (3) color printers (HP Deskjet 952C equivalent), two (2)
scanners (Epson Expression 1600 equivalent), and two (2) zip drives (lomega 250 MB
equivalent). The microcomputers will utilize software including the appropriate Windows and
Office packages, Symantec Ghost, WinZip, and security software such as CybraryN and Clean
It.
