PROPOSAL FOR THE PROJECTING SIGN FOR

SCENE METROSPACE, EAST LANSING, MI

ITEM

PROJECTING SIGN FOR SCENE METROSPACE

AMOUNT

1. The contractor will design, fabricate, and install a double face

projecting sign above the (SCENE) Metrospace storefront (110

Charles St, East Lansing).

2. Sign must be circular with a diameter of 32 inches, internally

illuminated, with identical full color vinyl graphic faces on both

sides.

3. Minimal design support using an existing vector logo will be

required.

4. Sign should be mounted on the facia (below center) right of existing

(SCENE) Metrospace signage, projecting twelve (12) inches.

(Similar in placement to Georgio’s projecting sign relative to its

main sign.)

5. Sign must be manufactured and installed in accordance with Article

600 of the National Electrical Code and/or other applicable local

codes. This includes proper grounding and bonding of the sign.

6. Contractor must provide electric to sign location by running a new

circuit from (SCENE) Metrospace’s panel in the back room of the

gallery. Power will run up the wall, along the ceiling inside, outside

of the building, and along the metal facia to the sign location

(approximately 100 feet; See Appendix for pictures of panel). The

ceiling along the proposed circuit path is open and unfinished,

allowing accessible routing for electrical conduit and wiring.

Surface mounted conduit is allowed but must be painted to match

the surrounding surface.

7. Sign must be hardwired for control via both a manual switch located

in the utility room and a photo sensor to enable dusk-to-dawn

operation.

8. Contractor is required to obtain and pay for all necessary permits

and inspections.

Total

The following City of East Lansing Contract requirements will be included in the contract (some exclusions may

apply):

Civil Rights Ordinance. Contractor agrees that it will comply with the City’s Civil Rights Ordinance,

Article II, Chapter 22 of the Code of the City of East Lansing, which in part requires that an employer not

discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms,

conditions, or privileges of employment including benefit plan or system, or a matter directly or indirectly

related to employment because of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital

status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or student status, because of the use by an

individual of adaptive devices or aids, or because of an arrest record when a conviction did not result,

PAGE 3

except as allowed under Section 22-33(b)(6) of Chapter 22. Further, for contracts in which the total

contract price will be $20,000.00 or more, the City’s Civil Rights ordinance also prohibits discrimination

on the basis of marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression by the Contractor failing

to provide employment benefits for employees with domestic partners that it otherwise provides for the

spouse of a married employee. An employer may apply to the City Human Relations Commission for an

exemption on the basis that religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, sexual

orientation, gender identity or expression, or student status is a bona fide occupational qualification

reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business or enterprise. These requirements of Article

II, Chapter 22, shall be considered material terms of this Agreement, and breach of any of these

damages, whether under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise.

Indemnity. Contractor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law pursuant to MCL 691.991(2), defend,

indemnify and hold harmless the City, and its elected and appointed officers, agents, servants, and

employees from any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, liability, judgment, or liens, including

reasonable attorney fees and other costs of defense arising out of any acts, errors or omissions or the

discharge, release or escape of contaminants or hazardous substances by Contractor or by anyone acting

on their behalf under or in any matter connected with this agreement. Contractor’s obligations to

indemnify the City shall survive the expiration, non-renewal, or termination of this Agreement.

Insurance Requirements. The Contractor shall not commence work under this contract until they have

obtained the insurance required under this paragraph and shall keep such insurance in force during the

entire life of this contract. All coverage shall be with insurance companies licensed and admitted to do
