The Florida Department of Environmental Protection awarded a contract valued at $50,184.88 with an award date of February 27, 2026, and completion date of June 30, 2026. The contract deliverables consist of seven standardized design templates for outdoor interpretive elements to be implemented across Florida State Parks, partner organizations, and vendors. These templates encompass signage waysides, uprights, rail panels, and trail labels designed to interpret parks' site-specific natural and cultural resources. The templates will be produced in multiple sizes, including trail labels (9 x 12 portrait and landscape), boardwalk rail panels (24 x 12), waysides (24 x 16 and 36 x 24), and uprights (36 x 48 portrait and landscape).

The contract scope includes development of a comprehensive Standards Manual containing text and graphics that detail requirements and best practices for template utilization, addressing design consistency, visitor engagement, graphic and media standards, production guidelines, and technical installation specifications. The work will be executed through five milestone phases spanning approximately six months, progressing from a template design kickoff workshop through 50%, 75%, and 90% design development phases, culminating in final submittals of all templates, content files, sample panels, and the Standards Manual in Adobe InDesign format.
