THE CRY OF PLEASANT LIVING
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
FROM: Shari Karnali, City Manager
DATE: January 19, 2020
SUBJECT: A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to purchase and install a
lighted street banner installed across Sunset Drive in the downtown area.
BACKGROUND: The City desires to enhance and beautify the City's downtown business
district which is especially imperative at this time due to the financial
hardships endured by the business community in FY 2020 as a result of the
COVID 19 pandemic.
The lighted banner will serve as a welcoming beacon to the downtown
business district for patrons and City residents and will signal that the
downtown is "open for business." The lighted banner will be installed on
existing poles in a strategic location on Sunset Drive and East of US 1 at the
entrance of the downtown business district. Three quotes were received,
including purchase & Installation:
PLANT PROFESSIONALS:
$6,800.00
CARPENTERS DECORATING:
$8,300.00
ART SIGNS:
$82,784.00
Plant Professionals is recommended for the award; the same vendor who
provided and installed the City's downtown decorative lighting. Art Signs
quoted a permanent structure and archway requiring construction,
permitting, etc., and while the concept is innovative, the cost is prohibitive.
The cost for the lighted banner, including installation, is $6,800, and will
be charged to the Capital Improvement Account no. 301-1790-519-6450
with a balance of $816,984 before this request was made. A 10%
contingency of $680 will be included for any unplanned expenses for a
total not to exceed cost of $7,480. Dimensions of the banner are 27' in
length with each letter 3' in height. The City will be responsible for poles,
cabling and electrical service.
Amount & Account: $7,480, (Banner & Install $6,800; 10% Contingency: $830) to account 301-
1790-519-6450 with a balance of $816,984
