RE: Professional Services Agreement with Creative Sign for Industrial Park and
Riverwalk Signage ($42,780.00)
BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) document
in 2019 seeking sign companies to create and produce a variety of identification signs for the
City’s Industrial Parks and Universal Business Park as well as wayfinding signs for Riverwalk
trail.
ANALYSIS
Creative Sign of De Pere responded to the RFQ and was selected as the vendor to provide a
monument-style sign in the City’s Southwest Industrial Park near the rail transload facility, as
well as a series of wayfinding signs on the north bank of Riverwalk between Jackson and North
Main Streets. An order for a second monument-style sign was later included for the Aviation
Business Park after available funds were identified in the 2021 budget and a quantity discount
of three percent applied by Creative Sign. Conditional use permits for both signs have already
been granted by the Plan Commission and Common Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact for these services is $42,780.00. 2021 Capital Improvement Program
funding has been allocated for Industrial Park and Riverwalk signage. Industrial Park signage
will be charged to Industrial Park Signs Account No. 0323-0740-6540-67006 in the amount of
$33,950 and Riverwalk signage will be charged to Riverwalk Signage Account No. 0323-0740-
6510-63014 in the amount of $8,830.
RECOMMENDATION
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of
a specialized nature, including these services, may be procured without the use of competitive
bidding or quotation process. In accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby
submitting this report. Please contact me or Community Development Director Kelly Nieforth
if you have any questions concerning this agreement.
