Background <br /> <br />The 2004 CIP has included $50,000 for the replacement of every street comer sign in the City of <br />Arden Hills. City Staff has directed URS to research costs and alternatives for complete <br />removal of existing signs and posts and the installation of new signs and posts. <br /> <br />Requirements for the proposed new signs are: <br />High visibility reflective signs <br />Green Background with white letters <br />City Logo in white on Left hand side <br />Installed on round galvanized steel poles <br />Option of street block numbers included <br /> <br />There are approximately 225 existing sign posts in the City and 896 signs (approximately 4 <br />signs per post) to replace. The preliminary estimated costs are between $175 to $200 per sign <br />post to remove and replace. It is anticipated that the total project price for removal installation <br />and project administration will be about $50,000 as budgeted in the CIP. It is anticipated that <br />the work would take 3 to 4 weeks once it is started. URS has requested estimates from a few <br />sign installation companies to verify the budget. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />For the Council Work Session URS will have a Power Point presentation with examples of <br />existing signs as well as signs from Vadnais Heights, Roseville and Shoreview. We will be <br />seeking Council input on the proposed sign face and poles. <br />
