REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
RFQ 16-03
The University of North Florida Board of Trustees, a public body corporate, announces the need to establish a pre-qualified pool of signage contractors to provide general signage and way-finding signage modifications on the University of North Florida campus located at 1 UNF Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32224.
The intent of this solicitation is to pre-qualify approximately three signage firms capable of providing general purpose signage and modifications to existing way-finding signage for the university campus. This is to include, but not be limited to, signage for entry doors, offices, windows, buildings and roadways; and modifications to the existing way-finding signage currently in place. Needs for various types of signage will be required sporadically throughout the period of this agreement. Some modifications to the way-finding signage will be needed in the very near future. We have included our campus sign standards manual with this solicitation. This will provide a viewpoint into the depth and breadth of service capabilities and materials required by the successful signage contractors.
