On January 28, 2016 Thomas Signs performed a flag test for City Council to view the 7 x 10 and 7 x 13 dimensions offered for the new LED display boards for Sims Park. After the completion of the test, it appeared that if the purchase was to be appoved that the 7 x 13 dimension display boards was the perferred size.
The LED display boards offer a wide angle view and seem to accent the space appropriately. The display boards are also consistent with the true 16:9 ratio which was requested from the Parks and Recreation Department. If the city council approves the purchase, the installation of the display boards will take approximately 10 - 12 weeks.
Total cost for the project, aside from the power and data, is $191,256.00. An outline of the cost for each board is as follows:
7’ x 13’ 10mm, Full Color/Video Optec EMC and double pole supports per engineering - $86,628.00
Installation – Including labor and equipment - footer, pipe, concrete, excavation and waste removal -$9,000
Total $95,628.00
Grand Total for (2) $191,256.00
w/ Addition of Bond Amount - $195,195.87
