Historic VIP Records Sign Restoration and Installation Service

The City of Los Angeles is seeking preservation, restoration, and installation services for the historic VIP records sign, along with associated site improvements. The agency needs to solve the deterioration of this historic asset by securing professional architectural and engineering design services for its refurbishment. The project covers the preparation of design plans, graphics, renderings, project schedules, cost estimates, specifications, product submittals, and all other tasks necessary to complete the restoration. The scope of work requires the selected contractor to perform pre-design site analysis reports and studies. The contractor must then prepare conceptual designs and associated reports during the schematic design phase, followed by working drawings during the design development phase. The final phase of the project involves overall sign refurbishment and construction services, which must be performed offsite. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this contract. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of the project, and the resulting contract period will run for one year. The agency has scheduled a mandatory pre-bid meeting for June 2, 2026, and requires all questions to be submitted no later than June 16, 2026.
