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.
Attachments/ Materials provided:
Public Street Sign Policy
Pictures of proposed street sign posts
Quotes for sign posts and hardware with comparisons
Actions:
Option #1 — Ordinance is amended to include optional square posts with holes
Option #2 — Ordinance remains as is
Recommendation:
Staff Recommends Option #1
