RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a contract in the amount of $184,373.59 with B&F Contracting for the fabrication and installation of Marquee Street ID Signs.
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This project includes the fabrication of 46 Marquee Street ID Signs and their installation at all 12 signalized intersections along Lincoln Drive and Tatum Boulevard within the town to further promote the town’s brand and improve the town’s visually significant corridors.
Based on feedback received at an October 8, 2015 work study session, two options were designed and installed at the intersection of Lincoln Drive and Invergordon Road. The two options included a metal frame sign that has a lighted silhouette and a non-lighted metal frame sign. Both incorporate the same materials and colors utilized in the town’s entry monument signs as well as the signage features recently incorporated with the reconstruction of 56th Street.
Based on feedback received, a third option was manufactured and installed that changed the mounting type, sign color, and mountain silhouette. This third option is recommended for approval.
Staff is recommending this project be delivered via a Job Order Contract (JOC), an alternative construction delivery method as defined by A.R.S. Title 34 Chapter 6. The Town will be utilizing a Cooperative Purchasing Contract from an existing City of Peoria JOC with B&F Contracting, allowing us to take advantage of Peoria’s economies of scale. B&F Contracting was selected by Peoria through a competitive qualifications based process in accordance with State Statutes.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
This item is included in the FY2015-16 Capital Improvement Program for an amount of $415,000. The fabrication of the signs will cost $58,788 and the installation will cost $125,585.59. The award of this contract will cost the town a total of $184,373.59.
