Corbin Design -South Bend Wayfinding Plan Proposal 9.17.18 Page 3 will modify the selected design concept up to two times in order to obtain final approval of the visual design direction. Once the City has given final approval on the visual design of the system, we apply the design to the remaining sign types and determine how certain sign types will be customized within the Downtown for each district. We present these designs via a web -based conference call and revise the individual sign type designs up to two more times in order to obtain final approval of the visual design of the entire sign type array. The full sign type array generally includes the following types of signs; • Trailblazers leading to the area, Downtown and districts • Gateway signage • Boundary markers or welcoming landmarks • Vehicular directional signs • Bicycle directional signs • Pedestrian directional signs • Pedestrian map kiosks • Parking identification signs (for public parking facilities) At this point, we can develop a preliminary cost estimate for the fabrication and installation of the system, based on approximate unit cost and estimated quantities. If custom graphic design elements such as icons, logos, maps and/or directories are needed, preparing the artwork for these elements is not included as part of our professional fees. If needed, we will estimate the costs for these elements during the project. Note that we are designing a system to meet the specific wayfinding needs of the City of South Bend in Indiana. Aspects of the system as designed may not meet all applicable local planning or zoning codes and may require variances from the local governing authority. Deliverables: Digital versions of the final Sign Type Array and preliminary cost estimate Onsite Meetings: One, two -person trip to complete the initial design presentation Timeline: Two to three months Task Three: Documentation - We develop a detailed sign location plan and sign message schedule; - Verify the sign locations and sign messaging onsite; - Develop a demolition plan; - Add detailed specifications to each sign type drawing; - Refine the cost estimate; Develop a phasing plan; and - Prepare the Wayfinding Signage Plan. Task Three Details With the City's final approval of the wayfinding recommendations and designs, we begin Task Three, Documentation. This task provides information necessary for the fabrication and installation of the approved signage system and development of the Wayfinding Signage Plan.
