Council selects George Lay (8mm) digital sign after vendor comparisons
Summary
The council approved a recommendation to purchase an 8mm Miracle Sign from George Lay at roughly $51,500 after staff presentations and debate over resolution and software capabilities; an earlier motion to pick a lower-cost Wichita sign failed for lack of a second.
Council members reviewed updated vendor quotes for a replacement digital sign and a staff recommendation to proceed with Miracle Signs (George Lay) at an 8 millimeter display resolution. Staff explained that all options require a software transition and that the Miracle Signs quote came in around $57,000 initially but was revised; George Lay’s 8mm option was presented to the council at approximately $51,500.
One council member moved to proceed with the Wichita Sign Company 9.5mm option at about $40,161.85 to save roughly $17,000; that motion failed for lack of a second. Later, Council Member Moreland moved to select George Lay/Miracle Signs for an 8mm display at $51,500; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Council asked staff to confirm FEMA IPAWS (iPAWS) compatibility and remote software management as part of the implementation. "It's called iPAWS," a council member said explaining the FEMA civic-alert interrupt capability and asking if the vendor software can support it.
