Subject:

Authorization to Relocate Signage and Install New Signage at Parking Structure Number 3

RECOMMENDATION

Approve the relocation of signage and installation of new signage at Parking Structure Number 3 at an estimated total cost of $22,140, to be funded by CIP Project No. 7903, with the City's cost to be $10,000 and the remainder to be paid for by the Brea Downtown Owners Association (BDOA)

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

On February 20, 2018, the City Council accepted the completion of Brea Superblock I Parking Structure (P3), CIP Project No. 7903 ("Project") for $9,236,742 with a remaining project balance of $476,380. At that time, staff anticipated completing other projects that were directly impacted by the Project and carried over $310,000 of the remaining project balance to the FY 2018-19 CIP budget. As a result, City Council authorized the paving of Orange Avenue between Imperial Highway and Birch Street, which was completed for approximately $60,000.

Subsequently, there have been ongoing discussions with the Downtown BDOA regarding enhancement to the parking structure signage at P3. In particular, there have been concerns over the lack of identification signage on the Birch Street side. Staff identified the possibility of relocating the existing “blade” sign from the entrance to the structure on Orange Avenue to the Birch Street side. Staff also proposes to add two smaller signs that would include a lighted circular “P” and a sign indicating “Free” to match signage at the other parking structures.

Staff solicited quotes from two sign companies. The selected quote is from ADS and includes sign relocation and the 2 smaller signs for a total of $18,139. Not included in the quote, but to be performed by others, is traffic control at approximately $2,500 and electrical work for approximately $1,500. The total cost of the project is not expected to exceed $22,140.

In partnership with the Downtown BDOA, the BDOA has agreed that City would cover $10,000 and the BDOA would cover the remainder of the project costs. Funds would be required from the BDOA before construction commences.

SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT

The FY 2018-19 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Budget for CIP7903 - Super Block I Parking Structure has remaining funds available to cover the City’s share of $10,000. There is no impact to the City's General Fund.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
