San Joaquin County Library Operation Services Thursday, June 10, 2010


All responses received in response to this RFP will be evaluated on the criteria described herein.

BACKGROUND:

The County of San Joaquin, located in the Central Valley portion of the State, covers approximately 1,450 square miles, employs approximately 6,300 people, and has an annual budget of approximately $1.268 billion. The population is approximately 700,000, the 15th largest county in the State. The County functions under general law and is governed by a five member Board of Supervisors elected to four-year terms in district nonpartisan elections. The Board appoints the County Administrator who oversees the County's involvement in Library operations.

The City of Stockton, serving as the County seat of San Joaquin County, covers approximately 75 square miles, employs approximately 1,600 people, and has an annual budget of approximately $301 million for FY2009/2010. The population is approximately 290,000 making Stockton the 13th largest city in the state of California. The City operates under the council-manager form of government and is governed by a seven-member City Council nominated from districts and elected by the City at large to four-year terms with a twoterm .maximurn. The Council appoints the City Manager who manages the operation of all City departments.

The Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library is currently a division of the Community Services Department which also includes Recreation, Arts Commission, Public Art, and Golf Course divisions. The estimated budget for operating City libraries for fiscal year 2010-2011 (July - June) is $3.9 million.

Through an agreement between the County of San Joaquin and the City of Stockton, the City operates the City/County Library system which serves the cities of. Escalon, Lathrop, Manteca, Ripon, Stockton, and Tracy as well as the unincorporated areas of the County. The County's funding base for library services is comprised primarily of property taxes. The decline in the assessed valuation of properties has significantly impacted funding of the Library System provided by both the City of Stockton' and the County. The City/County Library System is staffed by City of Stockton employees. Based on the projected available funding, weekly hours for all branches have been reduced in 2009-10. The City has reached an agreement with its bargaining units to furlough City employees 12 days during 2009-10. In addition to furlough days, the Library plans to close for 8 additional days for a total of 20 days.

The estimated budget for operating County libraries for fiscal year 2010-11 (July - June) is $5.2 million. However, this amount is subject to final analysis during the budget hearing process in May, and is also subject to adjustment by the Board of Supervisors during the final budget hearing in June 2010. Be advised, Contractor may be required to prepare mid-year budget or service adjustments, which are subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors. In addition to the estimated budget number, there is a one-time remaining fund balance of approximately $400,000 which mayor may not be available for use. As part of their proposal, proposers are to address how they propose to utilize this one-time funding source.

The "County Library Program Discussion" for the last two fiscal years is contained in Attachment A. This attachment provides specific information regarding the County Libraries. It also includes workload data for the entire librarv system (including Stockton Libraries.)



Financial and workload data for individual libraries within the system is not available at this time.

Specific Library Branch information is shown in Attachment C. This information was provided by the City of Stockton and is for the 2008-09 Fiscal Year.

Proposers are welcome to view branch locations first hand while they are open to the public. Efforts must be made to not disturb Library staff or Library users.
