Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Archer Corporation and authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into contract with Red Vest Supply, LLC, on behalf of the Recreation and Parks Department, for the Main Entry Signage Program 2023 Project. The Archer Corporation contract amount is $22,391.55, with a contingency of $27,608.45, for a total of $50,000.00 for the service portion of this project. The Red Vest Supply contract amount is $22,196.80 and is for the supply portion of this project. There is a total of $72,196.80 being authorized by this ordinance.
The Recreation and Department has over 400 parks and facilities combined, which include main park entry signs that greet residents into the parks and facilities. Main park entry signs are essential in strengthening the Recreation and Parks Department’s identity. These signs also help residents and emergency services locate parks and facilities. Staff have identified at least 12 park entry signs in critical need of replacement due to various types of damage or being at the end of their useful service life. Currently, most existing main park signs do not include a park or facility address, which presents an issue for emergency situations. This phase of the project is proposed to replace the 12 signs, all of which will include the park or facility address. Replacing damaged signs with new signs containing the park and facility addresses will enhance the public’s ability to understand park locations and communicate that information with other residents and emergency services. Archer Corporation will replace damaged and aged signs with new ones. The raw sign material is being procured for sign installations, separate from the service contract, for cost savings. The procurement for the sign panel material was bid through the Purchasing Office.
