The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is seeking proposals for a wayfinding signage project at the Natural Resources Park located within the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair in Franklin County. The procurement involves consulting, fabricating, and installing a total of 9 signs, including 6 directional wayfinding signs, 1 welcome sign, and 2 gift store signs, to be completed no later than July 18, 2025. Qualified companies will be responsible for designing and installing signage that aligns with park branding and accessibility standards, utilizing existing stone bases and potentially using High-Density Urethane (HDU) material for the welcome sign. The proposal will be evaluated on a 660-point scale, with 550 points allocated to the technical proposal and 110 points to cost, assessing factors such as company history, prior wayfinding signage experience, project approach, and examples of previous work. Vendors will be scored on a 0-5 point scale across multiple categories, including park branding alignment, durability, weather resistance, sustainable materials, installation quality, and maintenance recommendations. The proposal is due by April 25, 2025, with the proposal submission deadline serving as the key date for potential contractors. The contract opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total project budget will not exceed $20,000, with the lowest-cost proposal receiving the maximum available cost points. The contract will be managed through a services agreement that includes standard Ohio state terms and conditions, which outline comprehensive requirements for procurement, including compliance with state laws, equal employment opportunity requirements, and data management protocols. Contractors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form that mandates all services and data handling occur within the United States, with precise location disclosures required. The services agreement allows for potential contract renewal subject to appropriation and includes provisions for travel expense reimbursement according to the Ohio Office of Budget and Management Travel Policy. Contractors will be required to maintain appropriate insurance coverage and comply with various state regulatory requirements, including prevailing wage laws and non-discrimination policies.
