REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS & TENDERS:
STARLAND COUNTY HIGHWAY SIGNAGE DESIGN AND REPLACEMENT
The purpose of this RFP is to allow for a fair and competitive evaluation process in which all contractors can provide a quotation based on certain criteria. Please note that the lowest quoted proposal nor any, will necessarily be awarded this tender.
Starland County is requesting written proposals from qualified contractors to provide the design, fabrication and installation of entrance signs to be installed at various highway entrances on the borders of the County. This proposal shall include four (4) larger (approximately 8 ft. x 4 ft.) reflective decorative highway signs and four (4) medium-sized (approximately 6 ft. x 3 ft.) similar reflective and decorative highway signs for installation at the secondary highway entrances into the County. Proposals are to be split into two parts:
1. The first part is the design and construction of the aforementioned signs, showing individual pricing for each to assist in budgeting purposes;
2. The second part is the installation.
These proposed designs are to follow the Alberta Government’s guidelines for sign installation within the highway control zone. The existing signs will be removed and disposed of by Starland County. Depending on the design and pricing received, Starland County may not purchase all signs required in the same fiscal year due to budgetary restrictions.
To arrange for a visit or if you have any questions pertaining to the specifics of this RFP and the scope of services, please contact Shirley Bremer, Starland County, at 403-772-3793 or email [email protected].
