well as a budgeted amount of $15,000 from Heritage Parks and Museums operations
account.

Total Project Estimate $123,905
DESCRIPTION:
Based on park user feedback, Staff found that there was a need to provide wayfinding
signs to improve the user experience at Dublin’s community parks. In November 2016
Staff solicited a Request for Proposals seeking professional services to complete the
design and layout of wayfinding signs at Heritage Park and Museums, Fallon Sports
Park and Emerald Glen Park. Once installed, the signs will orient pedestrians and
vehicles to the features and program areas found at each park.
After reviewing proposals from five firms, Staff selected Bess Design to complete the
design portion of the work. Bess Design was tasked with creating designs for the
Heritage Park and Museums site taking into accou nt the historic features and unique

character of the site. For Fallon Sports Park and Emerald Glen Park, a more universal
design approach was considered that could also be used for future community park
sites.
Between January and March 2017, Staff reviewed the sign designs as they were
developed. Included in Attachment #1 is the design that Staff recommends City Council
approve for each location. If the City Council approves the design options presented,
Bess Design will then develop detailed plans and specifications for project bidding with
installation anticipated in late-summer 2017.
