Noe, Jr. This report was prepared by the Community Development Department Staff. 91 _/ s, EX C TIVE MM RY In July of 1993, the City Commission authorized the installation of nine (9) City Entryway signs and adjacent landscaping on medians throughout the City. Since that time, several of the City's existing entryway signs have either been stolen, damaged, or the wood has rotted. In October of 1996, the City Commission approved the Master Landscape Plan, which recommended improvements to the City's medians, streetscapes, and entryway features. There have been two (2) City Commission workshops on the Entryway Signage Program, with the latest being held on February 5, 1997. At that workshop, the Commission expressed concern about the overall cost of the program, and directed the staff to scale the proposals back. They also directed staff to obtain cost estimates from various sign companies. This has now been accomplished, and the results are included in this report. The Community Development Department staff recommends replacing the existing entryway signage with new entryway signage of a contemporary design to help improve the appearance of the City's major arterials. Cost estimates were obtained from three (3) local sign companies. Aluminum materials are the recommended choice for use in the construction of the signs, as it is light weight, and can be molded to look similar to a stucco / stone finish. The Welleby signs in Sunrise are made of aluminum materials, and have been able to endure the weather. Design alternatives for the entryway signs have been solicited by Testa Signs of Hollywood, Signs Company of Fort Lauderdale, and Sign Makers of Florida in Pompano Beach. These ,Art hree (3) companies have put together new sign proposals and applicable cost information. The designs are on the following pages for your review and consideration. Testa Signs of Hollywood has proposed a cost of $1,265 per sign, which includes the installation and the removal of existing signs. Included with their proposal was an example of the material as well as a conceptual design. Sign Makers of Florida has proposed a price of $1,200 per sign, which includes the installation, but does not include the removal of existing signs which would be additional. Art Signs Company has proposed a cost of $1,250 per sign, which includes the installation of new signs, and the removal of existing signs. Art Signs Company has included renderings of the proposed signage which is also included in the report. -RECOMMENDATION: As indicated within the City's Master Landscape Plan, there are currently thirteen (13) entryway points throughout the City. The Community Development Department staff has compared the three (3) company proposals based upon designs submitted, the costs associated with the placement of the new signs and removal of existing signs, and recommends the design proposal submitted by Art Signs Company be chosen. Art Signs Company has done business with the City of Tamarac previously, and the staff has found the signs installed to be of high quality. The cost breakdown of the program as provided by Art Signs Company is as follows: Removal of Existing Signs and Construction and Installation of (13) Entryway Signs : $ 16,250.00 Adjacent Landscape Treatments : $ 8,750.00 Total Estimated Construction Cost(s) : $ 25,000.00 Art Signs Company Proposal City of Tamarac 7525 N.W. 88th Avenue, Tamarac, Florida 33321-2401 Jeffrey L.
