FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to iZone for educational and wayfinding signage for the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice
Park in the amount not to exceed $28,000.
DISCUSSION
On November 5, 2007, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency was awarded by the
Institute of Museum and Library Sciences Museums an America Program Grant in the amount of
$150,000 for the creation and implementation of a master graphics program at the Santa Ana Zoo at
Prentice Park. The signage includes animal and plant identification, interpretive totems, interactive
panels, wayfinding kiosks and monument signs. The signage will provide a consistent, attractive, and
educational bilingual signage program to help zoo visitors learn, provoke thinking and inspire the goal
of supporting lifelong learning.
iZone, as a sole source manufacturer of digitally printed high-pressure laminate signage, offers
durable and graffiti resistant graphics that have been utilized with success at the zoo in graphic
panels. The Santa Ana Zoo will install 117 signs and circular panels with cores of recycled material
100% post-consumer. To allow for unanticipated charges, an additional five percent contingency has
been included in the award amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Improvement Other Than Building account (no. 15913220-66220).
