RE:Consideration of Purchase for an Additional LED Video Display Board for Sims Park

REQUEST:

The request is for Council to approve the purchase of an additional LED Video Display Board for Sims Park.



DISCUSSION
:

In 2016 the City awarded the bid for the purchase of two LED video display boards to Thomas Sign. At that time, Council approved the purchase of one Display Board as part of the Sims Park Phase One improvements.

 

Since its installation, the LED display board has been used to enhance several events in Sims Park, including: Summer Sunset Concert Series, Main Street, and sponsored events. Additionally the board is used to provide information regarding city functions and events to residents. In preparation for the launch of Phase Two in Sims Park, Technology Solutions has been in contact with Thomas Sign. They have agreed to honor the original contract pricing for the purchase of a second LED display board. Staff is requesting the purchase of the second LED display board. If approved, the installation project could be completed in thirteen weeks.



RECOMMENDATION:

Technology Solutions recommends that City Council approve the purchase of the second LED Video Display Board not to exceed the amount of $99,088.00 

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this item in the amount of $99,088.00 is available in account number 301-0301-572-63-26.
