Tybee Island Wayfinding Signage System

The City of Tybee Island, Georgia, is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive island-wide wayfinding signage system, with an emphasis on durable, weather-resistant signs that meet ADA and MUTCD standards. Approximately 24 signs are to be fabricated and professionally installed at designated locations across the island to enhance navigation, traffic flow, and visual identity. The project is a one-time contract, with proposals due by 2:00 PM on September 12, 2025, and a pre-proposal meeting scheduled for September 4, 2025. The City retains broad discretion to reject, waive technicalities, negotiate, or select proposals based on best value, considering factors beyond price alone, including project understanding, quality, installation expertise, timeline, cost, responsiveness, and compliance. The contract emphasizes adherence to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including licensing, insurance, and immigration verification, with mandatory affidavits and certifications such as debarment, SAVE, and E-Verify compliance. The solicitation requires detailed submission of multiple attachments, including affidavits, W-9, vendor information, and certification forms, all of which must be completed and submitted with the proposal to ensure responsiveness. The evaluation process involves a points-based system, prioritizing project understanding, fabrication quality, installation experience, schedule, cost, communication, and regulatory compliance, with the possibility of awarding to multiple vendors. The contract stipulates strict adherence to quality standards, safety, and legal requirements, but does not specify packaging, preservation, or marking standards for shipment, nor does it include federal FAR clause references. Payment procedures involve monthly invoicing, certification of paid subcontractors, and a 30-day payment window, with the contractor responsible for securing all necessary permits and approvals. The project’s scope, standards, and administrative procedures are clearly defined to ensure a consistent, accessible, and compliant wayfinding system that aligns with community and regulatory expectations.
