East Side Plaza Signage

The Town of Manchester is seeking creative sign proposals for a new linear neighborhood park plaza that will encircle the former Nathan Hale school, which is currently under private development and situated at the center of the park. The project aims to develop signage that reflects the aesthetic and feel of the new park, enhancing its visual appeal and community identity. The solicitation, titled East Side Plaza Signage, was posted on September 23, 2025, with a response deadline of October 10, 2025, and is managed by the Recreation Department. The contract is estimated to be valued between $50,000 and $150,000, and interested bidders are encouraged to contact Cora Narracci via email or phone for further information. A project link is provided for additional details and submission. In addition to the signage design requirements, bidders must comply with local wage laws by submitting a Living Wage Certification Form, which is a mandatory part of the bid process. This form requires bidders to certify whether they are covered under the Manchester Living Wage Ordinance or exempt, providing reasons for exemption if applicable. The certification must be completed, signed, and submitted alongside the bid to ensure compliance with local wage standards and avoid rejection of the proposal. Overall, the project emphasizes community engagement through creative design while adhering to local labor regulations, with a focus on creating an inviting and reflective public space around the historic Nathan Hale school site.
