SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR THE PURCHASE OF
REPLACEMENT PANELS FOR LED SIGN
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of placement panels for
the LED sign at the Convention Center from Entech Signs.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds for this purchase are available in account 115-43350-350-03
(CVB/Facilities/Convention Center) for a total amount not to exceed $38,788.00.
BACKGROUND:
The sign measuring 3'8" high by 11' wide was installed in March 2007. The manufacturer
has discontinued the LED panels used in the original sign. The replacement panels will
have much better resolution and will be capable of displaying full color graphics. The sign
will include a backlit logo box and computer assisted wireless controls. The price includes
both installation and training.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with the
State of Texas Contracts Program. Purchases through this program are authorized under
Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the cooperative and a contract was awarded to Entech Signs. The
CVB and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance
and pricing and determined that the contract would provide the best product, service and
pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
