Council selects George Lay Signs for new digital sign at $51,500
Summary
After comparing vendor quotes and debating resolution, the council approved a motion to purchase an 8‑millimeter sign from George Lay (Miracle Signs) for $51,500, citing resolution and cost tradeoffs; motion passed 5–0.
The Kechi City Council approved purchasing a new digital sign using George Lay (Miracle/George Lay Signs) at an approximate cost of $51,500. Staff presented updated quotes and noted Miracle/George Lay re‑quoted a 6 mm display at about $57,000; Wichita Sign Company had offered a lower‑cost 9.5 mm option but the motion to select Wichita Sign failed for lack of a second. Council then approved the George Lay 8 mm option by voice vote.
Council members discussed software compatibility (iPAWS/FEMA civic alerts) and remote programming features; staff confirmed the selected systems can be programmed remotely via cellular broadband where supported. A council member summarized the procurement rationale as balancing visibility, warranty/support, and cost: "I felt like the 8 millimeter... is fine for the savings," a council member said during the discussion. The motion passed unanimously, 5–0.
