Due to changes in federal wayfinding sign standards, concerns about potential sign clutter, new development, and changes in wayfinding best practices and technology, the City and its partners hired a wayfinding consultant (M&C C-25574) in May 2012 to redesign and implement the wayfinding project. The consultant fee was paid from existing project funding. Design consultants have completed the new design and the project has been bid, Due to the loss of in- kind match as a result of accounting changes at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), cost of consultant services, and increased cost of signage based on then design, the three district partners have committed additional funding for project completion. Bunting Graphics, Inc., has been selected to fabricate and install the signage. TxDOT concurred, recommended awarding the contract to Bunting Graphic, Inc., and provided the State Letter of Authority on June 13, 2014.
