The committee plans to have the signs mounted by the Buildings & Grounds division of Public <br />Works. The project will be integrated over time into the division's normal work schedule. The <br />project will also require administrative time. Costs related to county staff time have not been <br />included in these costs. <br />The costs below include an estimated $100 for translation services. <br />PHASEI <br />Option A. Retrofit key county building interior signs with universal symbols (where applicable; <br />i.e., handicapped symbol) and with Spanish translations. The signs will also meet ADA <br />standards. The signs will include restroom, safety, directional, department names, and internal <br />department signs. <br />Key buildings identified by the committee include Government Services Center, Government <br />Services Annex, Northern Human Services, Planning and Agriculture, Richard E. Whitted <br />Human Services, Central Recreation, Skills Development Center, and Southern Human <br />Services. Due to heavy usage, signs are also included for the Dental Clinic at Carr Mill Mall. <br />Option A also includes providing the general 'safety sign,' saying "No smoking - No soliciting - <br />No weapons - No animals," for the.outside of public entrances to all - not just key - county- <br />owned buildings, as recommended by the Risk Management Team. This sign also will be <br />placed at the entrances to departments in leased buildings. <br />Estimated production cost: $28,329* <br />Option B. Retrofit all county building interior signs. <br />Estimated production cost: $36,158.* <br />'"The 21" x 18" `safety sign' includes hours information as well as warnings: "No smoking- No <br />soliciting - No weapons - No animals." These signs cost $299.20 each. A more abbreviated <br />sign leaving off the hours information and the "No animals" warning, sized at 12" x 16," costs <br />$97.30 each. Substituting this smaller sign would save $12,114 from either totals. <br />Note: Department name and internal department signs for the court and law enforcement buildings <br />were not included in these estimates. Counties are generally held to be responsible for providing the <br />`shell' of the building while the courts - with state funding - are generally responsible for their own <br />operations, including matters such as office furniture and other internal needs.
