RE:LED Video Display Boards for Sims Park

REQUEST:

 

The request is for City Council to approve the purchase of two LED display boards for Sims Park.



DISCUSSION
:

 

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

 

A copy of a feedback form from the City of Madeira Beach on a LED project completed by Thomas Signs has also been attached for reference.



RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of two 7' x 13' LED display boards for Sims Park.
