Statement of Issue:
The City Council is requested to approve a contract with AHR Inc. dba Ampersand Contract Sign Group for the Central Library Wayfinding System project and accept a donation from the Friends of the HB Library to help fund the total project cost.
Financial Impact:
The City originally budgeted $116,000.00 for this project in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) account 10040314.82800. We are pleased to report that the Friends of the HB Library have also pledged their support for the project and have committed up to $100,000.00 for it. As such, staff recommends a 50/50 split between the City and the Friends of the HB Library for a total contribution of $90,251.65 each to cover the total cost of the project of $180,503.30. The balance of the donation and the City funded CIP allocation will be applied to other purchases or projects in support of the library collection and programs.
