Description

AI Generated

The City of Port Townsend, Washington, is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to create a destination signage and wayfinding plan and standards. The selected consultant must evaluate existing signage, assess the visitor experience, and design easy-to-understand standards that align with city branding, the Destination Brand, and the city's 20-year Comprehensive Plan. Work will be performed offsite, and the buyer will evaluate proposals based on technical experience, strength of proposed subconsultants, responsiveness to requirements, and reference history regarding errors and omissions. Eligibility is restricted to onshore USA organizations. Applicants must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, including an executive summary and overall approach, experience, references, work samples, and a cost estimate detailing hourly rates, total task costs, and itemized expenses. The buyer requires a cost estimate for the budget, and the contract terms require the consultant to maintain a Port Townsend business license and insurance while completing the contract development within 30 days upon notification of intent to award.
