AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR INSTALLATION OF CIVIC CENTER SIGNAGE PROGRAM (CONTRACT NO. RD-675). Mr. Ortega noted that there was no report in the packets because staff was in the process of analyzing bids that were received. He introduced Mr. Don Rypinski, architect for the signage program, who he said had gone before the Civic Center Steering Committee to present the overall signage plan. He added that Mr. Rypinski had requested bids from sign manufacturers he was familiar with, and he distributed copies of a memorandum which contained the results of bids received by Mr. Rypinski. MR. DON RYPINSKI reviewed the report, noting that after examination of the bids received, staff's recommendation was that the Agency Board enter into a contract with Artech Sign Company, the second lowest bidder, in the amount of $64,139. He stated that the low bid was from Graphic Arts of Santa Ana in the amount of $33,000, and although they were very good at wooden and plastic work, he would be hesitant to select them because the proposed sign program would use metal signs. Upon question by Member Crites, Mr. Rypinski confirmed that Graphic Arts had received all of the specifications for this project. Crites said he felt before the Agency Board adopts a sign program that is $31,000 more expensive than the low bid, staff should go and talk to the low bidder to see if they can or cannot do the job. Mr. Rypinski commented that he had worked with the people in this firm for three years and that they worked with hand tools, while everyone else is talking about a precision routed look. He felt there would be a lot of "hand holding" going on with these people in order to get the job done. He said if the Agency Board were to select this firm, he would suggest they do one sign at a time so staff could look at each one. He said if you were to compare the two side by side, there was the possibility that they would not be the same, and he felt we should proceed with caution to make sure they produce the kind of signs we are looking for. Member Wilson asked whether we could wait on this and ask for a contract with each of the two firms to do two signs for an area where we will have more than one sign and then award a contract to the best firm for the remainder of the signs. Member Crites also noted that we will have need for some additional signs for the Civic Center because we have not made any provision for signs at Magnesia Falls. Mr. Rypinski stated that the most difficult sign to make and most expensive was Entry Monuments Sign Type "A", which was considerably lower in the Graphic Arts bid than the other bids received. 3 auoN ADN1OV 3H.L 30 S113HNI3NI (INV NVNRIIVHD '3 lu sqy 1 SNf103 ADN3OV 8 auoN 2IO.LD32IIQ 3A111133X3 'V NOLL3V Omnuntrau swan Q2IV0g ADNIHJV QNV `S3RIVNI3li `S,L1IOd3'a •X •piyog Sway ag13o aeon snowlueun Aq paulea pue uosuag Cq papuoaas SEM UOPOIN .Z66I `9Z goiE} Jo 2upaaw ay101 Jamul spp anupuoo 01 panow saliJD lagwaN •splq alp 1no luos 01 awp leu01 ppe uanl8 aq wogs "Fels `uopeaugela papaau Imp swab awn aiag) asneaaq 11a; iapi(uS iagwaw •1otiluo3 am Jo mime ou aq pinoi wag) `panlaoai sum uopeuuguoo ua11uM ou ,�T :p[q SEM 1EgM woi; Isoo eAxa ou lE poptnoid aq mom asagl ;o amp we leg) pies aH 1l0M leouloala Sulpiegai piq alp ui papnlou[ sluawala pomp.' pue 1ioM Sulpunoi8iapun ;o sappuenb o1 anpElai uopeoguelo pawem luawuedaj Suuaau!Sug alp `uoplppe uI •uopellelsut ul pue uopeouge3 ul tpoq `palle1su18ulaq sus Jo sadi(1 alp .io3 suopeogloads Suueaq peon so; sluawaimbai 2uuaaul2ua aq1 I(JspEs o1 0012E mom 101oe11uo3 Om imp (Z `Ioafoid slgl so; pled aq II1M aSeM $ulilenasd (I Imp Joloezluoo aq) Aq uopeuuguoo uaUUM o1 paCgns aq Iaewoo ag);o mime 1eq.L :pe-nuoo ag1;o pieMe 0) poppy aq suoplpuoo leuoi ppe awns palsa2Sns one aH •z6,1sa32uudS lady 2y110j A(peai su2ls awns aneq oI 8111(i1 uaaq peg Inc) sauEW srgl 2ulnupuoa (mitt walgoJd ou peq;js 1E41 panels E20110 'IN s * * s s * * * s s s s s * s * s * * s * s s s * * * * * * * * * * Z66I `ZI HD IVLII 9NLL33111 ADN30V ,LN3:11iJO'I3A3Q3lI .LN3S3a 1Yl vd 531.1•11% `MINUTES ^ PALM DESERT REDEVEL CENT AGENCY MEETING ( , MARCH 12, 1992 XI.
