The assessment shall document the existing condition of the building and its systems, identify code and accessibility deficiencies, evaluate energy performance, and provide prioritized recommendations with cost estimates. The resulting report will be presented to the Library Advisory Board and the Cumberland Town Council and will serve as the foundation for the Town's capital planning and for any future facility improvement, renovation, or expansion planning.
