5-29-2012 EDA Meeting <br />Item 7A – Res. 12-EDA-270, Banners <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Staff solicited and received two quotes from professional sign companies for 55 banners <br />and bracket sets assuming that a banner could be installed by the City’s Public Works staff <br />on every other light pole located along the County Road 10 trailways. <br /> <br />Staff closely compared the quotes using the following criteria: quantity, banner size (24” x <br />48”), banner material (Weatherguard fabric), printing type (silk screened/two-sided), ink <br />(two colors), art, banner warranty, bracket type, bracket warranty, cost per banner, cost per <br />bracket and shipping cost. <br /> <br />The quotes submitted by the two sign companies for 55 banners and bracket sets were in <br />the amounts of $6,105 and $6,188 plus sales tax (a difference of $84). It is important to <br />note that there would be an additional cost to the City for installation and maintenance of <br />the banners. City staff has not estimated the cost of Public Works staff hours to install the <br />banners, nor the cost of maintenance if brackets break or if banners need replacement due <br />to vandalism. <br /> <br />If the EDA wishes to order banners and bracket sets, staff suggests that the EDA order <br />from the sign company that created the banner design preferred by the EDA. Below are <br />the two design options: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Option 1 Option 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
