| | | | | | | | Description
Resolution approving the plans, specifications, form of contract, and cost estimate for the Mid America Center Signage Project. Project No. BM19-04 |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
The scope of the project is to provide the Mid America Center with the latest, most reliable video board and signage technology available today. An existing pylon sign located on the corner of Mid America Drive and Marc Boulevard is no longer operational and shall be reconstructed. A new pylon sign will be located at the corner of 23rd Avenue and Bass Pro Drive. Additionally, two monument signs equipped with the same video board technology - along with wayfinding information – will be constructed on existing footings at the 24th Avenue/South 32nd Street entrance and west along the boulevard at the south entrance to the convention center. Also, twenty-four existing wayfinding and pole signs will be replaced with new signs that are more clearly visible and modern in design and technology. These signs will promote activities at the MAC and will lend the opportunity to lease space to promote other businesses within the MAC Entertainment District.
The estimated cost of this project is $1,000,000. Funding for this project will be paid for by Capital Improvement Funds of $500,000 and an Iowa West Grant of $500,000.
