History
An invitation to bid (ITB) was issued on August 19, 2019 requesting bids to fabricate various non-illuminated cabinet and wayfinding signs per Village specifications. The design of the signs is based on the Village's Wayfinding and Branding Plan which was adopted by the Village Board of Trustees on June 20, 2016. The bid requested a contractor to provide pricing for 2019 and 2020 to fabricate cabinet and wayfinding signs as requested by Village and as detailed in Exhibit C - Sign Specifications. Fabrication requests will be submitted on an as-need basis by Village to vendor and should be fulfilled by vendor in a timely manner. Delivery, permitting and installation of signs would be the responsibility of the Village.

Fifteen (15) vendors viewed the ITB on BidNet and a total of (2) two bids were received.
