Request for Qualifications/Proposals
Design and Construction of City Park Entrance Signs
The City of Bozeman’s Park and Recreation Department is Inviting Qualified and Interested Parties to
submit their proposal for the design and construction of City Park entrance signs. The City of Bozeman
Park and Recreation Department is currently in the process of updating, improving and codifying all
entrance signs to city-owned and maintained parks. The purpose of the update is to provide park entrance
signs that are easily identifiable, appropriately proportioned and minimize maintenance. The upgrade of
signage will take place over several years, with the goal of replacing approximately five (5) signs per
year.
The City of Bozeman’s Park and Recreation Department has chosen to offer to local design teams, artists
and companies the opportunity to design and construct park signs that reflect their individual
interpretation of Bozeman and its park system. The challenge of the proposal will be providing a sign that
is economical, maintenance friendly, yet uniquely Bozeman. Each sign will need to comply with the City
of Bozeman’s sign code. The Park and Recreation Department has allocated $10,000 each fiscal year in
its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Park Sign Replacement Program. The project is identified as
GF #194 in the CIP.
The proposals/qualification and or designs are due at the City of Bozeman’s Park and Recreation Offices,
no later than 4:00p.m., on April, 11, 2014.
