Body
Summary:
The adopted FY 2019-2020 Budget includes funding for an electronic marquee signs to be placed at the New EMS/FS3.
Staff would like to move forward with this purchase.
In tonight's regular Council meeting, the following sign is being proposed for purchase:
Quote #642750-4-1 Electronic Message Center for New EMS/FS3 location for a total cost of $93,150.00 with a contingency of $2000.00 for any additional electric/technical work that may be required for a total cost of $95,510.00. This sign was budgeted in FY 2019-20 under Capital Improvements Fund# 090-310-49030 in the amount of $75,000.00. The additional $18,150.00 will be funded from Capital Improvements Fund#090-312-49020 (EMS building - city's portion) which has a current balance of $196,613.25.
With the exception of connectivity and size, the sign is the same as the recently purchased electronic marquee signs located at the Community Center, Library, Courts/Theater and Golf Course.
