BACKGROUND

This project will install three (3) electronic LED signs where temporary banners announcing Recreation events have been installed since the 1990's, and one (1) electronic LED sign at the recently remodeled Animal Shelter. 

 

Each LED sign is approximately 30" High x 60" Long, set in a stone masonry base and the copy on the signs will be controlled remotely from a desktop computer.  Each sign includes a 5-year warranty.

 

This project qualifies for procurement through the BuyBoard cooperative purchasing program and therefore the City staff elected to work directly with a design-build vendor for all services except for electrical power supply to each sign which will be handled under separate contract.


BUDGETARY IMPACT

The budget for this project combines two funding sources:

 

For the Park and Recreation Signs, the project cost is funded by Community Development Corporation funds.

 

For the Animal Shelter Sign, the project cost is funded from the General Fund - Facilities Upgrade.


STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Identity Management Consultants, LLC, for the conception, procurement and installation of LED Scrolling Message Monument Signs at various locations through an Interlocal Agreement with Buy Board in the amount of $149,298.98.


MOTION

I make a motion to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Identity Management Consultants, LLC, for the conception, procurement and installation of LED Scrolling Message Monument Signs at various locations through an Interlocal Agreement with Buy Board in the amount of $149,298.98.
