Short Title:
A resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager to accept the proposal of Postal Center International
Original Impressions LLC for Gateway Entry Signage Installation and Services pursuant to RFP No. 23-
0609200 and further authorizing the Interim City Manager to enter into an agreement with Postal Center
International Original Impressions, LLC for said services.
Staff Summary:
Request for Proposals (RFP) 23-0609200 was published on May 08, 2023, for Gateway Entry Signage
Installation and Services.
Three (3) companies submitted proposal documents which were certified by the City Clerk on June 23, 2023.
The Interim City Manager recommends approval of Postal Center International Original Impressions LLC.
(PCIOI). The company is one of the nation's largest, state-of-the-art transactional printing, postal, mail, and
signage organizations with 41 years of experience. At eight key gateways into the City, PCIOI wi11 provide
design, fabrication (two sites), rehabilitation (six sites) and installation services for gateway signage, including
planting low maintenance and drought tolerant native species and illumination/solar power lighting.
Financial Impact: The winning bid proposed a cost of $199,000. Staff recommends an additional 10%
contingency to be available to address unforeseen circumstances justifying a change order. The FY 24
Proposed Budget for this project (44-541847) had forecasted $140,000 to be spent in FY 23 and $140,000 in
FY 24. Since the project won't begin until FY 24, the first budget amendment for FY 24 will bring forward
$78,900 of the $140,000' unspent in FY 23 to fully fund the project cost and contingency.
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the recommendation for Postal Center International Original
Impressions, LLC, authorize the Interim City Manager to enter into an agreement with said company for
$199,000 and to further establish a 10% contingency of $19,900 to address unforeseen circumstances.
