Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Bexley, Ohio. Completed plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

BACKGROUND The City of Bexley, Ohio is requesting qualifications and proposals from professional sign fabrication contractors ("Contractors") to implement a park signage package as guided by the recently developed Bexley Park Sign Design Guidelines Manual ("Design Manual"). The Design Manual represents 15 different sign types, oriented to both pedestrian and motorist viewers located throughout the City of Bexley's community parks. The City's objective is to create a system of signs across our community parks that display design continuity and clearly communicate park navigation and attributes. SCOPE OF WORK The successful Contractor will supply all labor, equipment, products and materials necessary to implement a package of park signs as outlined in Table 1, herein, and in line with the Design Manual (Appendix I) and corresponding Location Map (Appendix II). The Design Manual details multiple sign types and fabrication specifications including font type family, colors, dimensions, connections and materials. Scope of work will include: Shop Drawings: Before fabrication, the contractor shall create final shop drawings for each sign type and present for City review and approval. As needed, the Contractor may be asked to work with the City's sign design firm, Design path, to finalize details. Samples: Before fabrication, the contractor shall submit samples of all sign materials, molding profiles and finishes will be provided for client review and approval. Sign Fabrication: Including but not limited to material sourcing, production, printing, painting, sandblasting and electrical wiring for internal illumination. Construction of masonry walls (e.g. Type H) are not in scope (NIS). But the contractor will be responsible for collaborating with the City's assigned landscape architect to coordinate final conditions for connections, maintenance, and electric routing. Installation: Contractor responsible for engineering of mountings, connections, footings, sign permits, coordination with utilities, site grading, and other trades where necessary. Site Restoration: Including but not limited to regrading and seeding where necessary. Depending on total cost, the package may be divided into phases, and the City may determine the need to self-perform installation work. Should the package be subdivided, the City reserves the right to reissue a RFP and/or to select a new Contractor for future phases. Any package phasing or reduction in scope of work as described below will be clearly detailed in the final contract with the successful Contractor. The City reserves the right to award the contract in any manner it deems to be in the best interest of the City and make the selection based on its sole discretion, including rejection of all proposals. Questions may be submitted by email to mprice@bexley.org. by the deadline stated below. Answers will be supplied (and distributed to all known candidates and posted on the City's website) as soon as possible, with a goal of responding within 2 business days. Deadline for Questions Wednesday, March 27, 2024, 4:00 pm.
