I. Background
The Hall County Library System (“HCLS”) provides library services for the residents of Hall
County and, through the PINES system, to all residents of Georgia. The Hall County Board of
Commissioners owns the Gainesville Library (“Library”) building, which is a stand-alone
building of nearly 40,000 square feet located at 127 Main St. NW, Gainesville and is the
headquarters for the entire five branch library system. The Library serves as a community
gathering spot with various programs and services, which include: a children’s area with
storytime room, five study rooms, meeting and conference rooms, an art gallery, public
restrooms, and open space around the Library. HCLS aims to foster a safe and inviting
environment for the patrons and employees of the Library. As such, to bolster this goal, HCLS
is seeking proposals from entities to provide uniformed, unarmed security guard services at
the Library, its curtilage, and the adjacent parking lot.
