The Town of Garner invites qualified graphic designers or graphic design firms to submit proposals for graphic design services for system-wide parks and recreational signage. Through a service contract, the selected vendor will provide design guidelines and technical specifications for future park and wayfinding signs through out the Town's parks and recreation network. This Request for Proposals ("RFP") provides detailed information on the services sought, the submittal requirements, and timeline.
Please note that the Town will pursue fabrication and installation of signage separately and as such these services are not part of the scope of work of this RFP. The Town of Garner has identified a lack of consistent wayfinding signage across its parks system, detracting from the visual appeal of the parks and impacting visitors' experience. A preliminary signage plan has been drafted by Town staff to identify the need and establish goals for the project. The primary goal of the project is to have a unified wayfinding system that visually identifies the Town of Garner Parks and Recreation facilities, providing guidance to visitors about the amenities in the parks, specific rules and regulations, and interpretive signage as appropriate. Eliminating sign redundancy and reducing the visual clutter caused by unnecessary or deteriorated signage is an important objective of the project. Question Deadline 07/08/2024 at 5:00 PM ET
