Page 2 <br />Memo to Neil Nelson <br />Subject: Sign Making Shop. <br />(1) Exhaust Fan 250.00 <br />(2) 55 gallon drums degreaser solvent <br />(This solvent will last for 2 years) 450.00 <br />t <br />Misc. small tools, i.e. straight edge, <br />rulers, tapes, T-square, razor cutters, <br />scissors. 50.00 <br />28,055.00 <br />*We presently have two employees assigned <br />who take care of our street & road signs. <br />We should have an area approx. 20` x 30T, the exhaust fan is <br />required to expel the heat from the sign making machine. This <br />area should be dust free as possible. <br />5. Advantages of owning and operating our own sign shop: <br />(a) To produce our signs in a more expedient time period. <br />(b) To be able to reuse the aluminum blanks. <br />(c) Because we already have two employees on the payroll, we should <br />have a cost reduction. <br />6. I will show a cost breakdown using the three different size signs <br />that we use the most. In the event we establish our own sign shop, <br />I recommend we continue to have the County (pentagon) shape road <br />signs made by a commercial source. The reason is, we would have to <br />stock the blue background and gold letters. We now buy these signs <br />for $14.00 ea. <br />7. Current approx. price for aluminum blanks: <br />6" x <br />24" <br />1.63 <br />each <br />(street signs) <br />24" x <br />24" <br />4.85 <br />each <br />(info signs) <br />30" x <br />30" <br />10.17 <br />each <br />(stop signs) <br />Reflective material (Scotchlite, reflective, engineering grade) <br />611 wide, <br />50 <br />yard roll <br />.833 per lineal foot <br />24" wide, <br />50 <br />yard roll <br />1.66 per lineal foot <br />30" wide,. <br />50 <br />yard roll <br />1.90 per lineal foot <br />2" numbers <br />& <br />letters <br />.09 each <br />4" numbers <br />& <br />letters <br />.246 each <br />- 6" numbers <br />& <br />letters <br />.406 each <br />8. We are presently paying for <br />ready <br />made signs:_ <br />6" x 24" - <br />5.88 <br />(street signs) <br />_ <br />21+" x 24" <br />11.24 <br />(info signs) <br />30" x 30" <br />18.40 <br />(stop signs) <br />9. Last fiscal year we expended $21,800.00 for ready made signs. <br />10. Due.to the fact that we already have two employees on the payroll <br />responsible for sign erection and control, I believe it would be more <br />economical'to purchase the equipment listed in this survey and to <br />establish a County Sign Shop. <br />f Jim Fl <br />DEC 311980 <br />45 ing 548 <br />
