The City of Seaside, California is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms to design a
new Welcome to Seaside sign on the South End of General Jim Moore Boulevard in Seaside, CA
(Attachment 1). The selected consultant shall perform the tasks specified in the "Scope of Work"
section of the Request for Proposals (RFP). The consultant is encouraged to suggest additions or
modifications to the scope that will enhance or clarify the work and the suggestions should be
incorporated into the proposal.
The City of Seaside is an ocean-side community that overlooks the beautiful Monterey Bay on the
Central Coast of California, approximately 115 miles south of San Francisco. Founded in 1887
and incorporated in 1954, this 10 square-mile city continues to grow while holding on to the rich
values upon which it was established. Seaside is home to the California State University at
Monterey Bay, the Monterey College of Law, Bayonet and Blackhorse Courses, Fort Ord National
Monument, and of course the pristine Seaside Beach. Young families and retirees are drawn to the
community, providing a healthy residential mix of people and solid sense of community. With
plenty to do outdoors, educational opportunities, convenient shopping, eclectic dining, welcoming
accommodations and outstanding views of the Monterey Bay, it is easy to see why almost 33,000
residents choose to call Seaside home.
With continued efforts to welcome visitors to Seaside, the City is requesting designs for a new
Welcome sign located in the South End of General Jim Moore Boulevard. This area is a prime
location for a sign with high levels of traffic from those traveling North from Del Rey Oaks and
Highway 68. General Jim Moore Boulevard offers stunning views of Seaside and the Monterey
Bay while connecting residents and visitors to the Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Course, trails in
former Fort Ord, the Fort Ord National Monument, the California State University of Monterey
Bay, upcoming development projects, and important Seaside roadways including Hilby Avenue
and Broadway Avenue. Construction of the sign is anticipated in the Summer of 2024. Questions Due February 29, 2024
