Memo <br /> <br />To; <br /> <br />From; <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Re; <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />Frank CliftOn, County Manager <br /> <br />Jonathan Marshall <br /> <br />Sherri Bamhardt, Purchasing Agent <br /> <br />07/12/02 <br /> <br />Bids for Expo Park Exterior and Interior Signage <br /> <br />The Planning Services Dept. solicited informal bids for the extedor and interior signage for the Expo <br />Park and buildings. These bids were divided into two packages - Program A which consisted of the <br />Landmark and Monument Entry Signs, and Program B which was the remainder of the signs for the <br />facility. Both programs ir~cluded sign and installation cost. Bids were to be received by July 5,2002 and <br />there were five bidders for Program A and six bidders for Program B. A summary of the bids is <br />attached. <br /> <br />The Iow bid for Program A was by Allen Industries of Greensboro. Due to the planned construction <br />along NC 49 there has been discussion among staff of not proceeding with the Landmark Identification <br />Sign until that construction is complete. It is .recommended that the County Manager be authorized to <br />negotiate a contract with Allen Industries based on this bid amount and pending a decision on whether <br />or not to proceed with the construction of the Landmark sign. <br /> <br />Program B included signs for which the number of units has been identified as well as signs for which <br />the number of units has not yet been determined. As a result there'are two totals for the bids on <br />Program B. The first total is the signs for which the number of units has been determined. The second <br />total is the sum of the unit priCe of signs for which the total number has not yet been determined. Both <br />totals were considered in determining that Allen Industries was the Iow bidder for Program B. The Allen <br />Industries bid is below the amount that had been identified for signage in the construction budget, it is <br />recommended that the County Manager be authorized to negotiate a contract with them based on this <br />bid amount. <br /> <br />I have requested that Rick Steel with Allen Industries prepare a preliminary schedule for the preparation <br />and installation the signs. That schedule should be available for the Board meeting on July 22,2002. <br /> <br />· Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
