It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached Resolution for the purchase of one (1) Computerized
Vinyl Sign System for the Property Maintenance sign shop from an
existing City of Tallahassee Bid No. 0390-92-Q03-ORS, from the
Diamond Neon Supply Company, a non-minority/non-local vendor
located in St. Petersburg, Florida, at a total cost of
$19,450.00. The computerized vinyl sign system will be utilized
by the Property Maintenance Division for preparing signage for
City offices, public facilities, etc. Funds for this purchase
are available from the General Services Administration and Solid
Waste Department, Property Maintenance Division, Account Code
No. 420401-840.
In recent years a totally new technology has evolved in the sign
application industry. Today, by using the latest computer
technology available, signs can be designed, cut out on a plotter
and applied at substantially reduced rates. The use of this new
technology will allow the sign shop to become more productive and
creative in our design work, as well as provide a hig:aer level of
quality, productivity, and consistency. This new concept
provides top quality signs that will bring about a more positive
image of the city.
The current workload in the sign shop has resulted in a major
backlog of sign painting. This is due to the increased
requirement for signage on a City-wide basis. Therefore, the
Department's ability to respond in a timely fashion to the labor-
intensive layout and preparation required to produce hand -painted
signage has been affected. The use of paint for application on
most signs is an obsolete way of producing signage for the
following reasons:
