Street Signage Replacement in University Hills
end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize an expenditure not to exceed $30,000.00 to Shannon-Baum Signs for furnishing and installing street signs in the University Hills area of the City. The replacement of the street signs is the final work to be completed as part of the University Hills Street and Sidewalk projects, and will be completed under their existing rider contract with the City.
end
Summary Background:
In 2015 the Council authorized the beginning of the University Hills Street and Sidewalk replacement and installation project. The work was completed in multiple phases over the past 6 years. The final phase of the project, the Wells Blvd/Pkwy Green Street is being completed this fall, with road striping being finalized at the time of this writing. Now that all of the roads, curbs, and sidewalks are complete the only work remaining is the replacement of the street signs. Many of the signs in the neighborhood were originally installed by Prince George’s County and are 30 or more years old. Many of the signs do not meet current reflectivity standards and should be replaced.
Next Steps:
Issue purchase order and schedule installation of signs
Fiscal Impact:
Not to exceed $30,000
City Administrator Comments:

Community Engagement:
Many community meeting were held throughout the University Hills project over the past 10+ years.
Strategic Goals:
