Civic Center Wayfinding and Interior Signage Improvements Services

The Marin County Civic Center requires comprehensive wayfinding and interior signage improvements services to enhance visitor navigation and accessibility. The agency is seeking to resolve issues related to confusing wayfinding, accessibility barriers, and insufficient signage within the historic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building and campus. The selected contractor must conduct a detailed review of existing interior signage, directional graphics, department identifiers, life-safety signage, regulatory signage, and public information displays. The scope of work demands a thorough documentation of current circulation paths, visitor decision points, and accessibility barriers, using the 2011 Square Peg Wayfinding and Signage Master Plan as a baseline reference. The agency requires the contractor to conduct stakeholder meetings with county staff, facilities personnel, accessibility coordinators, and community-facing departments to identify operational priorities. Based on these findings, the contractor must develop a hierarchical wayfinding strategy, preliminary design guidelines, and multiple conceptual design approaches that comply with Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy requirements. The final deliverables must include a Concept Design Package summarizing the system direction, visual language, and detailed sign location plans for the campus, corridors, junctions, entries, and key decision points. The agency restricts eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States, and the performance of the work will occur offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost. Key dates for this procurement include a mandatory site-walk scheduled for June 30, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the project no later than July 8, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's ability to meet the detailed design, historical preservation, and stakeholder engagement requirements outlined in the scope.
