3.2. - Relevant Experience Burkhart Sign Systems collaborates in wayfinding programs continually. We refer to them as "Campus Sign Programs" implying a design is to be followed giving identity to the organization's property. We recently completed a 2-year project for Notre Dame surveying, removing and installing approximately 2200 signs! This project started as the "Campus Crossroads' initiative and went to a Phase I with Phase 2 being the 2200 informational, directional and street signs. The organization and execution of this project was very intensive considering utility notifications, the hydro-vacing (winter conditions) and the pouring of concrete foundations for every sign. We are presently working with Marian High School, Hubble in the Ameriplex Complex, continuing work with the Parkview Trail System (noted here in 3.4), as well as continuing directional work with General Motors in Ft. Wayne where every GM pick-up truck on the road is produced. Being a union shop we are the exclusive sign company for GM. All of these projects are executed with a site plan, sometimes a Google overhead, and collaborating with the client for effective directional signage. We have chosen a Campus Sign Program for the Center For Hospice in Mishawaka as an example for this proposal.. This project is similar in area to Howard Park with the challenges being mail delivery to (3) addresses, a one-way exit to Cedar Street, the need to use the right-of-way, both entrances being shared with Central Park and beautiful building architecture that the signs need to enhance and not interfere. This project was a collaboration between the Director (referenced in this proposal), JPR as the civil architects, DJ Construction as the contractor, and Jeff Lowry as the building architect. As well as similar property area; this project is a good blueprint for the successful execution of the Howard Park project. Again, this proposal exceeds the 2-page limit so the site -plan is shown below. one `x" Z� -Paso4, 9=20
