SUMMARY: In 2010 the MPWMD replaced its logo with a new, three-color design. The District’s exterior building sign must be removed and replaced with the current logo design. The Public Outreach committee reviewed options for signage at the April 17, 2013 committee meeting, and again on June 5, 2013 and recommended that exterior signage be placed at two locations. The Administrative Committee met on June 10, 2013 and made the same recommendation.
The committees have recommended that in order to assist the public in locating our office, signage be mounted at two locations on the main office exterior. Attached as Exhibit 3-A, is the design for replacement signage at the main entrance to the building. Attached as Exhibit 3-B, is a design for signage to be mounted at the front of the building, facing Harris Court and the parking lot entrance.
The estimated cost for permitting and signage for both signs is $8,358.75 (see Exhibit 3-C). The Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget includes $2,700 for the new sign. Since time will be needed to obtain permits, manufacture sign components and for installation, this project will not be completed in the current fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2013-2014 budget will need to be adjusted at mid-year to cover the cost of this expenditure.
RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Directors approve an expenditure of $8,600 for permitting, production and installation of two exterior signs as shown in Exhibits 3-A and 3-B. The amount requested includes an additional $200 to cover extra permitting costs, if needed.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The contractor, Monterey Signs, will handle the permitting process at a cost of $50 per hour. The preliminary estimate for this process is $1,539. If the application can be processed administratively, the cost will be around $600. If the City of Monterey determines the application must be reviewed by the Architectural Review Committee, the additional cost could be approximately $940 (included in quote) or more if the process becomes complex.
When the existing building sign is removed, it may be necessary to paint the exterior wall as the color of the wall beneath the sign will likely be darker than the areas around it. The cost to paint the wall is not known at this time.
The FY 2012-2013 Budget contains $2,700 under account 99-01-9180. This amount will likely be carried over to the FY 2013-2014 Budget and at mid-year an adjustment will be made to cover the actual cost of the new signs.
