The RFP process has shown that they are the best partner through their technical <br />approach and abilities for the complexity, schedule, and creative needs of Howard. We would further like to award <br />wayfinding and signage in a number of other park properties to Burkhart Sign Systems. Those properties would be City <br />Cemetery, West Bank Trail, Leeper Park, Pinhook Park, the River Walk, and Pulaski Park. The RFP has shown that they <br />are the best partner for these parks through their local presence, cost, and flexibility. After award, we will enter <br />negotiations for contracts that will also be brought before the Board. These contracts will not be exclusive. Thank you <br />and have a wonderful day! <br />-Patrick Sherman, Project Manager, Venues Parks & Arts <br />
