Approval of Resolution Supplanting
3/18/97 ResolutionAuthorizinga
ExpenditureforPurchase of "City of
SouthMiamiWelcomesYou"Signs
II
The originally approved resolution granted a $2,400.00 expenditure to purchase two "City
of South Miami Welcomes You"signs tobe installed atthe city's west and north
boundaries.To avoid significant installation fees,it was proposed that the installation be
performed by Public Works'Building Maintenance Supervisor.The March 18,1997
memo to the Commission and resolution are attached for reference.
The proposal didnotstatethat matching woodpostswere included inthe installation
charge (nor was this mentioned to Public Works bythe vendor).The delivered signs did
not include the posts,which costan additional $245.00 forboth signs.The vendor,Don
Sign Shoppe,wasthe lowest bidder and their workisof high quality.Public Works does
not recommend thatother vendors be sought forthe posts,which need to fully match the
delivered custom signs in terms of material,paint,and design for aesthetic reasons.
Asaresult of theabove,authorization issoughttosupplantthe original March,1997
resolution with one authorizing the additional expense forthe posts.Despite the
additional cost,purchasing thepostsand installing the signs withCity crews still results in
a $255.00 savings.
The new costs brings the total expenditure forthe signs to $2,645.00,or approximately 10
percent overthe originally authorized amount.Approval ofthis resolution istherefore
recommended.
