ITEM  8 City Council Memorandum      Cultural Development  Memo No. N/A         Date: October 14, 2024 To: Mayor and Council Thru: Joshua H. Wright, City Manager Andy Bass, Deputy City Manager Kim Moyers, Cultural Development Director From: Lauren Koll, Downtown Redevelopment Program Manager Subject: Purchase of Downtown Wayfinding Signage

Proposed Motion:

Move City Council approve the purchase of downtown wayfinding signage, from YESCO, LLC, utilizing the City of Peoria Contract No. P19-0079, in the amount of $167,574.

Background/Discussion:

Due to the expansion of Downtown Chandler over the past decade, the City recently completed a Downtown Chandler Pedestrian and Wayfinding Study to understand strategies that will make navigating downtown easier for residents and visitors. The Pedestrian and Wayfinding Study resulted in a phased-approach plan which focuses on directing vehicular traffic to the five parking garages and pedestrian wayfinding signage linking the downtown from Chandler Boulevard to Frye Road. The purpose of this contract is to complete phase 1 of the Pedestrian and Wayfinding Study. Phase 1 includes 41 signs directing vehicles to the parking garages. The signage will be installed on Arizona Avenue from south of Frye Road to Chandler Boulevard and on Chandler Boulevard west of Arizona Avenue.  Directional signs will be located throughout the core of downtown for each of the garages, providing a consistent and cohesive appearance. Phase 2 will focus on pedestrian wayfinding signage and is expected to come before City Council for consideration in early 2025.

Evaluation:

The City of Peoria competitively solicited and awarded a contract for fixed building, monument, and wayfinding signage to YESCO, LLC. The city has a current agreement that permits the cooperative use of the City of Peoria's contracts. The City has an existing linking agreement with YESCO, LLC for the cooperative use of the contract. Staff recommends the cooperative use of the contract because of the high quality of the products and competitive contract pricing.

Financial Implications:

Phase 1 and Phase 2 funding was approved in the CIP FY23-24 and FY24-25 Budget, respectively.
