MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development,/, <br />DATE: April 30, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: STREET SIGNS <br />As you may recall, one result of the on-strettt parking study <br />conducted in February of 1985 was to direct staff to purchase <br />install proper signs throughout the City. Police Officer Siluk <br />recommended the repair, placement, or addition of parking signs <br />on various streets throughout the City. The City Council <br />directed staff to secure quotes for this work and install the <br />signs. <br />Since the weather is improving and will allow us to install the <br />signs now, I have received quotes from vendors to furnsih the <br />signs. The 3 quotes are as follows: <br />TOTAL PURCHASE COST <br />1) Newman Signs $ 3,944.93 <br />P.O. Box 1726 <br />Jamestown, ND 58401 <br />2) Gopher Sign Company $ 3,991.20 <br />1567 Selby Avenue <br />St. Paul, MN 55104 <br />r� <br />j 3) Earl F. Anderson & Associates, Inc. $ 3,890.49 <br />- 9864 James Circle <br />Bloomington, MN 55431 <br />Since this is a purchase of over $1,000.00, staff needs approval <br />from the City Council. The first 3 items on the quotation from <br />Earl F. Anderson & Associates, Inc. are for the street <br />intersection name signs. These street name signs will be used to <br />replace the fading, and in many cases, illegible street name <br />signs in the eastern portion of the City. We did this work in <br />the southern portion of Mounds View last year. The rest• of the <br />items on the list are for repair, replacement, or addition of <br />parking and other signs along City streets. This will correct <br />the problems identified in Officer Siluk's report. The budget <br />for street intersection name signs is in account 100-270-4126 in <br />the amount of $2,678.00. Since there is no budget for the <br />repair, replacement or addition of parking signs per Officer <br />Siluk's report, I suggest we take the money for that portion of <br />this project from the contigency fund in the amount of <br />approximately $1,300.O0. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />I recommend purchasing the signs per the quotation from Earl F. <br />Anderson & Associates Inc. in the amount of $3,890.49. The money <br />will come from the contingency account in the amount of $1,300.00 <br />and from the 100-270-4126 account in the amount of S21678.00. <br />The contingency account has over S15,OU0.00 in it at the present <br />time. <br />SWT/bc <br />
