Home My WebLink About2014 City Park Entrance Signs: Architecture 118 ��°�� Statement o f Quali�catiouslP�o�sa! • CRY of Bonn Park btrow fmis 0 Bozeman, Montana Rim "Pip Contents April 11, 2014 Letter of Interest Concept Proposal Qualifications Non-Discrimination Affirmation �IV letter of Interest 118 April 11, 2014 Architecture118 is pleased to share our proposal for the new City Park entrance signs. The design is intended to provide a contemporary look in the growing Bozeman community, while the simple, readily-available materials reflect upon our history. The design of the sign is composed of two main elements: a main panel indicating the park name and an "information totem". The main sign panel is designed for ease of visibility from °f , multiple angles and is scaled for legibility. The "information totem" acts as an interactive piece and is scaled for human relation to engage passersby. The combination of these two elements, along with additional design options, create a piece that serves its informational purposes well, yet provides additional levels of functionality and interaction. The sign is intended to be a product of our local economy; easily fabricated by local artisans using local, readily-available materials and services. The materials are very durable and low- maintenance. In the event that a sign is damaged, the modularity of the design lends itself to easy repairs. The signs require little time to install by using common anchor bolts and fasteners. Following, please see our concept and qualifications. We look forward to working with the City of Bozeman.

Our initial design efforts have been focused on trying to keep the cost to $2000-2500 per installation. We will continue to strive for this amount, but feel the uniqueness of the design and creating a piece that can be locally fabricated is more important than accepting an "off-the- shelf" design. Architecturel 18 will provide pro-bonO design and coordination to develop a cost-effective piece. We will also assist the City in soliciting bids from multiple fabricators to encourage competitive pricing and develop a network of providers. Partnership with other City Departments may allow some costs to be reduced (e.g. concrete pads may be able to be provided by Public Works) and contribute to the community pride aspect of our proposal. On-site installation could be completed by Park staff, Architecturell8 personnel, volunteers, or social clubs (e.g. Eagles, Optimist Club, Boy Scouts, etc) with minimal supervision. After these initial efforts are completed, Architecturell8 will remain committed to future, annual installations and will continue to work with interested parties until the signs are provided at all desired locations. We propose a 5% mark-up ($150 maximum) per sign for these coordination efforts (concrete pad installation excluded).
