Review quotes for City Hall entrance signs – Mayor De Angelis presented letter from Mayor’s Intern Geoff
Krieger. Two companies responded to the City’s request for bids for the City entrance sign. Krieger is
recommending Bauer Sign’s proposal. Their proposal is less expensive and they were the only company to
respond to the original proposal asking for both an external and internally illuminated sign quote. If the
exterior lighted proposal by Bauer Sign is selected Krieger guesses the lighting quotes that came with the
Design Craft signs would be fairly accurate. The company to perform the lighting for Design Craft’s signs is
independent of Design Craft. Discussion took place on what type of signs - interior or exterior illuminated.
Interior Illumination Exterior Illumination
Bauer Sign Two double faced sign cabinets $7,380 Two double faced signs (lightning not included) $ 6,580
