Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contracts with DaNite Sign Company and Laird Plastics for the Main Park Sign Replacement Project. The DaNite Sign Company contract amount is $48,000.00 and the Laird Plastics contract amount is $30,037.12, for a total of $78,037.12 being authorized by this ordinance.
The Recreation and Parks Department has over 400 sites, including parks and facilities combined, and most of these locations have main park entry signs greeting residents into the parks and facilities. Main park entry signs serve an important role in strengthening the identity of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department (CRPD) and in helping residents locate parks and facilities. The Operations and Maintenance Section of the Department has identified 32 signs that are in critical need of replacement due to various types of damage and/or expired service life. Additionally, a majority of existing main park signs do not include an identifiable address, presenting an issue for emergency situations. The purpose of this project is to procure raw sign material from Laird Plastics and to enter into contract with DaNite Sign Company for services to replace damaged and worn signs. All new signs replaced will include park and facility addresses.
