From the meeting
At its November 12, 2026 meeting, SCC and CCDAC were asked to recommend the former General Administration Building site as the future home of the Washington State Library and Archives Building. The proposal followed a feasibility study completed by the Office of the Secretary of State with technical support from DES and Miller Hull. The packet said the Archives facility was more than 60 years old, lacked space, and had HVAC replacement needs estimated at nearly $15 million over two biennia.
No appropriation was currently in place, and OSOS said it would next seek programming, design, and construction funding.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Washington Department of Enterprise Services issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Washington Department of Enterprise Services's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Washington Department of Enterprise Services before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
