Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Park Wayfinding Signs - Approval of Design Prepared by: Rosemary Alex, Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of park wayfinding sign designs for the Heritage Park and Museums site and the Fallon Sports Park and Emerald Glen Park sites. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the design options presented for park wayfinding signs at Heritage Park and Museums and for the Fallon Sports Park and Emerald Glen Park sites. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The project is proposed to utilize remaining construction contingency balances from Fallon Sports Park (PK0414) and Emerald Glen Aquatic Complex (PK0105) projects as well as a budgeted amount of $15,000 from Heritage Parks and Museums operations account. Bess Design - Approved Agreement $ 23,905 Estimated Cost to complete sign fabrication and installation $100,000 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 Page 2 of 2 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.
