RFP-S08-150 Signage & Wayfinding - Consulting Services for Signage & Wayfinding

Summary of Specifications:
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the Wayne County Airport Authority (Authority) hereby invites businesses who meet the qualifications set forth herein to submit proposals to supply on-call signage and wayfinding consulting services detailed in this RFP. 

Wayfinding relates to knowing where you are and where you are headed; it gives you recognizable cues. It helps you determine the best route in which to quickly and easily navigate to your destination. Through this contract the Airport Authority will use the consultant to improve the customer experience at the Airport. The successful Proposer (Contractor) will help determine current and future wayfinding/signage needs, inventories and areas for improvement. Some of the tasks that will be assigned are design review, signage standard development and cost estimating. 

The on-call signage and wayfinding consultant will be responsible for items detailed in the Scope of Services including but limited to, the following areas; interior/exterior or terminals, parking lots (both open and covered) and roadways including overhead directional signage. 

The opening of the new North Terminal in late 2008 and the eventual decommissioning of the L.C. Smith Terminal will greatly impact the current wayfinding system at DTW. Extensive modifications to the existing wayfinding system will need to be completed to allow a seamless transition.
