The project is intended to support the regional branding initiative and create a consistent, intuitive, and visually cohesive user experience for pedestrians, cyclists, commuters, and visitors.

Design tasks include preparing construction-ready shop drawings, verifying dimensions and field conditions, coordinating placement locations with city staff, and developing final sign layouts using approved branding standards. Fabrication requirements include producing all sign structures and panels, supplying tamper-resistant mounting hardware, and using weather-resistant and vandal-resistant materials. Installation includes placing all signs and foundations, coordinating utility locates, and restoring disturbed areas.

Preferred materials include Dibond aluminum composite, CHPL high-pressure laminate, powder-coated steel, aluminum mounting systems, and Corten steel structures. The contract period will be one year, and questions must be submitted no later than July 16, 2026.
