About this file

This document is an amendment to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Parsons State Hospital Cottage Signs project issued by the state. The amendment addresses bidder questions regarding the required signs, including details on the sign materials, design, lettering, mounting, and wind resistance requirements. The signs are to be single or double-sided aluminum or metal with white lettering and graphics. Larger signs are to be mounted directly to the building, while smaller signs will use wrought iron hangers. Prevailing wages and permits are not required, and background checks are not needed for contractors at this time. The pricing sheet includes line items for the cut-out aluminum/metal design, lettering, wrought iron hanging rods, and installation labor, with bidders expected to allocate costs accordingly.

Bidder Questions

EVT0009983

Parsons State Hospital Cottage Signs

1. Could you provide a detailed illustration of the required signs? We’d like clarification on materials, depth, sign hanger size, mounting details for both the sign and hanger, and how the name should be applied to the sign. If possible, could you provide a design file for the requested signs?

Response: There were photos of the signs sent along with the overall size. The material would preferably be at least 18-gauge aluminum, but we would accept some other type of metal as long as there would not be a rusting/oxidation issue. The signs can be painted to be a gray wood grain, or a wrap or plastic design can be adhered to the metal. The letters are to be white and can be 2D or 3D they can be plastic, metal, or part of the graphics as long as they are white, and the sign needs to be outlined with white as well. The picture of the trees needs to be white. The brackets for the smaller signs should be a steel with a similar wrought iron design as seen in the following photo. These signs need to be two sided and able to resist straight line wind speeds normal to Kansas (50 to 60 mph). They should be mounted on the building with concrete or tap con lags from one end of the mount holding the sign horizontal, visible on both sides.

The larger signs are one sided and should be concrete lagged to the building resisting 50 -60 mph straight line winds. Neither signs nor the sign hangers should penetrate the wall to the point that they leak water and if this does it should be the responsibility of the contractor to make sure the building does not leak.

2. Is this subject to prevailing wages?

Response: This is not subject to prevailing wages.

3. Will we be needing a permit for this?

Response: There should not be a permit needed.

4. Are background checks required?

Response: Background checks are not needed for contractors at this time. However, if the contractor or an employee acts inappropriately or endangers one of our Individuals on the campus an investigation may be done and the contractor asked to leave until this investigation is done and the contractor or his employee may be reported to law enforcement for further investigation.

5. There’s some ambiguity in the price sheet. It specifies "Cut out of aluminum or metal design" and "Lettering." Could you clarify which signs this applies to? Are these for both sign types or just one?

Response: Cut out of aluminum or metal design is just what the material will be and what it will cost. Lettering would be the graphics cost the hanging rods would be the wrought iron hanging rods for the two-sided signs. The installation would be the basic labor.

6. Additionally, the line items for "Labor" and "Materials" are listed separately. Should we use the pricing from the sections above and allocate it accordingly?

Response: Yes
