Quotaion for Sternwheeler Signage Jim Funk

~ -Sent:Wednesday, February 11, 2015 4:50 PM To: Andrew Yarmie

Andrew I have a breakdown on design, sign and frame construction, and installation labour pricing, for the Sternwheeler Pylon Sign Proposal attached. It is to be similar to the attached layout, but with new (less) text, some photo changes on the bottom panel, and a similar paddlewheeler image on the top, but on a full solid panel without the cut away areas shown. but at this time I only have a rough estimate. The sign would be single sided with a steel frame, concrete bases with cultured stone facing, and printed graphics with and anti-graffiti overlaminate, on solid aluminum panels (11ot screened or etched). Pricing is:

Design, and editing: $960. Sign and frame manufacture, and all materials: $5560. Installation labour, including decorative bases: $980.

Total cost is: $7500. Plus $375. Gst, and $525. Pst for a final total of $8400.

Any engineering, permits and applications, underground scoping or changes beyond what has been asked for at this point is additional Please call if you have questions!
