Cost of the Spooner Park sign is $26,206 (includes <br />the sign panel, two stone columns, and pavers with the City logo). Cost of the signs for <br />the Firefighters Historical Trail is $13,300 (includes the sign panel and two brick <br />columns). Bids are attached. <br />The Canadian Days Committee had expressed interest last year in contributing toward the <br />cost of the Spooner Park sign due to their name being incorporated into the sign. An <br />amount was not mentioned, but this issue will be addressed further with the Committee. <br />A committee of the Fire Department has also discussed contributing toward the cost of <br />the Firefighters Historical Trail sign, but again, no dollar amount has been approved at <br />this time. I will continue to pursue this funding also. <br />I would recommend award of the low bids as listed for both signs with the hope that <br />construction could be completed before the Canadian Days Celebration. <br />
