The Board <br />expressed the desire to see sign design options that were more within the approved budget for <br />this project, and staff gathered additional proposals for the project to present to the Board. <br />Staff asked that the companies provide a sign design as close as possible to the example provided <br />(Sign Example). Staff recommends moving forward with National Sign Plazas, Inc., whose total <br />bid for the project was $43,750--$3,400 per unit for single -sided signs and $4,000 per unit for <br />double -sided signs. Staff believes this company will provide signs according to City <br />specifications at the most reasonable price. All of the quotes are attached here for the Board's <br />reference. <br />Action Required by Economic Development Corporation: <br />Provide guidance to staff. <br />Approved for La Porte Development Corporation Agenda <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager date <br />
