MINUTES CITY COUNCIL, MAY 13, 2020 low bid at $73,850.00 and the sign company provided a quote of $21,155.00. He noted that it was recommended to plan on 5% for contingencies, which would bring the total memorial project costs to $99,755.00. He reported that the Little Canada Fire Department Board of Directors did review and approve the latest plans and bids, and authorized the city to move forward with the project on their behalf. The Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager stated that the existing city trail entrance sign on Centerville Road also needs replacement. He explained that the design was initially for a large sign made of structural steel, but after reviewing the bids, it did not seem to justify the large cost, and staff revised the design. He stated that the revised sign incorporates both existing city signage elements for consistency and the element of structural steel. He reported that the cost for the new design is $12,342.00, which does incorporate savings if that sign is installed at the same time as the memorial wall. He noted that the new design was presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission meeting at their May 7, 2020 meeting, and the Commission made a motion to approve the replacement of the Firefighters Memorial Trail sign with the new design as presented. Keis asked if there were problems with any other signs in the city where they would need to be replaced. The Parks & Rec/Community Services Manager stated that there are two signs with brick pillars, and then the rest have wood posts which deteriorate fairly quickly. He noted that they are looking at using composite materials that should last much longer and hold up better.
