AB-2024-05171 - Jasper Wayfinding 2024

Jasper is a vacation destination offering visitor attractions, activities, facilities and services for a population of approximately 5,000 permanent residents and close to 2.5 million visitors annually.

In 2016 the municipality adoped Wayfinding & Siganage guidelines to provide a more integrated, comprehensive and visual guide in reaching destinations and points of interest within the Town. The guidelines established a comprehensive plan and design specifications for a municipal-wide wayfinding and signage program to support easy navigation around the community and its amenities while reflecting a unified, consistent design treatment.

The municipality would like to continue to advance the implementation of the Wayfinding and Signage guidelines by completing phase two of the plan with the installation of three (3) Primary Directional Signs.

Primary Directional Signs are double-sided or single-sided, non-illuminated signs on a cast concrete base, clad with local river rock, located at key decision points for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

The municipality is looking for fixed unit prices for the Sign Types identified in the drawing package (refer to the Sign Type numbers) including the cast concrete base, cladding and installation.

The final quantities ordered should not affect the unit price quoted. The unit prices are to include all related work, including:
• Survey of site conditions.
• Supply of shop drawings, colour and finish samples, and proofs for approval
• Fabrication and installation to approved locations.
• Liaison and coordination of final messaging, directional arrows, and symbols/
• pictograms sign schedule
• Provision of proof of liability insurance to meet client requirements.
• Provision of WCB and other WorkSafe requirements of job site.
• Obtain engineering stamps/approvals, as required
• Obtain Sign Permits, where required.

Proposals must conform to the standards presented in the Jasper Wayfinding Guidelines 2016.

To avoid the busy summer tourist season and reduce potential costs associated with contractor accommodation, the project installation shall occour between Septermber 1st and October 30th, 2024.
