Separate sealed bids for the Update to the City’s Sign Code will be received by the City of Durango (the City) until 3:00 PM (Local Time) on September 28, 2017.

The City of Durango’s Sign Code is contained in Article 3-6 SIGNS of the Land Use and Development Code. The Community Development Department seeks assistance in updating the existing sign code language to ensure it is legally sound, straightforward, easy to use and practical to enforce. The consultant will collaborate with staff to update the sign code in an effort to leverage staff time and expertise.

There are two objectives for this update:

1. The current sign code language is not content neutral and therefore does not comply with the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Reed v. Town of Gilbert, AZ, 135 S.Ct. 2218 (2015). 
2. Identify and update any standards that are missing, unclear, need to be improved or need to be removed.

The updated sign code shall be content neutral, easy to use, practical to enforce and apply directly to the City of Durango.
