4.1 Discussion on change to Street Sign policy•�� �`" CJS SCANDIA Meeting Date: 6-7-17 Work Session Agenda Item: Proposal by: Adam Hawkinson Director of public works Action Requested: Review Public Street Sign Policy and recommend changes. Staff is proposing a change to the policy before sign replacement begins for the 2017 season. Background: The City has a policy governing public street signs. The post specification is for a "14 gauge quick punch (2" X 2" X length). Recommendation: Staff is recommending adding verbiage to allow the use of a standard 2"x2"x length pole - Telespar with pre-existing holes or the quick punch depending on how cost effective pricing is for purchasing either product. Savings for the posts themselves would be 15%. There would also some savings in shipping charges due to a weight savings. At this time it would be a cost saving of $300.00 for this purchase. There is also a labor cost savings for not having to punch out the holes and time spent trying to line up the holes which is approximately 10 min. per pole.
