Parks advisory group approves new sign for Lambert's Park after comparing vendors
Summary
Members approved a new sign for Lambert's Park and voted to proceed with a lower-cost vendor; the advisory group discussed longevity and warranty expectations before the vote.
The Parks & Recreation advisory group approved a motion to proceed with a replacement sign for Lambert’s (Lambeth’s) Park and accepted a lower‑cost vendor offering a seven‑to‑10‑year guarantee against fading.
A member explained the group had sought alternate vendors after the original vendor’s quoted price was much higher. “The original thing was $3, and this one is $502,” a participant said when contrasting the two quotes. The new vendor guaranteed 7 to 10 years before the sign begins to fade, and participants said production times were shorter with the chosen vendor.
A motion to move forward with the sign was made and seconded; the advisory group voted in favor by voice vote.
No precise contract amount beyond the quoted vendor price was presented in the advisory meeting; the board did not specify whether the town will issue a purchase order or require council approval as part of the vendor selection.
