Neighborhood/Park Monuments - QTY 14 <br />Through our procurement process, Neon Signs provided the most competitive proposal for this project. <br />Therefore, staff is requesting approval to spend an amount not to exceed $950,000 (includes <br />contingency) as approved in the FY 24-25 Capital Improvement Program budget with Neon Signs for the <br />Citywide Monument Sign Project. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />Pursuant to Chapter 62, Section 62-13, the Procurement Division contacted every vendor on the Miami - <br />Dade County pre -qualified list of signage vendors from RTQ-00918 titled Signs and Banners, Purchase <br />and Installation. From those, only two vendors engaged in the Invitation to Quote for this project. <br />Neon Signs and A3 Visual participated in site -visits, design -build development with city staff, lengthy <br />negotiations and finally, the submission of proposals in which Neon Signs was the lowest bidder. <br />If the City were to advertise a formal bid, it would need to hire an architect and an engineer to provide <br />sealed plans for all signs before issuing an ITB. By procuring the signs through the county's duly <br />advertised bid, a process authorized under our Code of Ordinances, the City not only saves time but also <br />approximately $50,000 to $60,000. <br />Note, the County's contract requires Electrical Sign Specialty Contractor license for the vendors listed in <br />Group 2 (turn -key projects that include purchase/install and/or removal of signs). Neon Sign Solutions <br />has an active State of Florida Certified Specialty Contractor license and they meet our insurance <br />requirements. Media and Public Works toured Neon Signs' facilities to learn about their cutting-edge <br />equipment which includes the Tru Laser Tube 3000. <br />Copies of the complete contract file, including all exhibits and attachments, are on file with the Office of <br />the City Clerk and are available upon request. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />Funds have been appropriated from account # 160-6-6720-434041-00000. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Resolution <br />Agreement <br />References <br />Item Number: 9.H <br />173 <br />
