Committee seeks additional quotes for historical plaques; $30,000 budget request awaits city decision
Summary
Members said they have two quotes for plaques and requested one more to meet procurement rules for purchases over $1,000; the committee requested $30,000 for next year and expects the city budget decision by the end of June.
The committee reviewed progress on placing historical plaques around town and instructed staff to collect a third quote so projects over $1,000 meet the required bidding threshold.
A committee member said Ben Ziegler will provide two additional quotes — one for small porcelain plaques and one for aluminum — and the group has quotes from Bruns for other plaque styles. The chair noted that items over $1,000 require three bids and said the board’s budget vote will determine whether the committee receives the $30,000 it asked for next fiscal year.
Members discussed which buildings are part of the first 12 chosen for plaques; the chair said those 12 were selected because the research on them was complete. Committee members asked staff to resend the email listing the initial 12 so the group can prioritize locations and move ahead with installations.
No final contract award or installation dates were set at the meeting; the committee will follow procurement rules and return with additional quotes and prioritized placements.
