Council Meeting

Department:	Information Technology
Pillars:	Optimize the Addison Brand

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss the Preliminary Design of an Electronic Sign Over Belt Line Road.

BACKGROUND:

In May 2012, Addison voters approved $500,000 in General Obligation bonds for the installation of an electronic sign over Belt Line Road to replace the static banner located just East of Quorum Drive.

On March 20, 2020, staff released a request for proposal (RFP) for the design and installation of the sign, but no proposals were received. Staff then sought qualified vendors through two (2) cooperative purchasing hubs. Fourteen (14) potential vendors were initially identified. Upon further review, Staff determined that two of the vendors were qualified for the project. Of these two vendors, Casteel Sign was selected based on proven capability and the know-how to design and build this platform within the available budget.

Casteel Sign, the design team, and Staff will provide an overview of the conceptual design in order to solicit, receive, and incorporate Council's comments into the final design.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff seeks direction from Council.
