Description

The Community Development Committee (CDC) has worked  with a sign designer, LandWorks, on a Wayfinding Plan for Falmouth since June 2014.

The final draft Wayfinding Plan was recommended by the CDC at its meeting on April 13, 2015. This plan was arrived at with public input at two community forums and includes sign designs, locations, destinations, and cost estimates.

At the request of the Town, LandWorks also submitted a $10,750 proposal for Phase 2 services, which include final specifications, bid documents, and installation assistance.

Authorizing Phase 2 at this time will allow the Town Council to obatin and review competitive bid prices for sign manufacturing and installation and authorize expenditures for such work at a later date.
