SUBJECT: City Gateway Signage Project — Approval of Additional Funds for
Contract No. 3914
Recommendation:
Approve a Budget Amendment transferring $34,426 from the Newport Coast
Community Center FF &E, Account No. 7019- C5100977, to Account No. 7014 -
C2700813 for an additional monument sign at the Newport Coast Community Center
(NCCC).
DISCUSSION:
On June 12, 2007, the City Council awarded the City Gateway Signage contract to
Bravo Sign and Design, Inc. (Bravo). The contract called for the installation of eight
monument signs to provide a welcoming element to the City. The Recreation and
Senior Services Department proposed an additional monument sign at the southwest
comer of Newport Coast Drive and San Joaquin Hills Road intersection identifying the
Newport Coast Community Center.
The Recreation and Senior Services Department worked in concert with Dougherty +
Dougherty Architects to arrange the concept plans for this new sign. Subsequently, Public
Works staff and Bravo jointly prepared the sign specifications. Per the estimates provided,
the Contractor will have six to eight weeks to complete the sign installation, which includes
preparing and submitting detailed shop drawings and sample cuts of the products (i.e.,
panel color, bronze letter and ornamental features, uplighting and concrete with specified
finish) for constructing the NCCC monument sign.
The cost of the additional monument sign, which includes the fabrication, installation,
landscaping, electrical work, and spare ornamental hardware is $34,426, exceeding 125
percent of the existing contract. Per Council Policy F -14, City Council approval is required
for the additional contract expense. A Change Order has previously been issued in the
amount of $20,000 for the addition of the easterly Corona del Mar monument sign.
