Public Seating and Bench Advertising Program

The City of Lake City seeks a qualified firm to design, fabricate, install, maintain, repair, and, if necessary, remove public benches throughout the city, with all program costs funded exclusively through advertising displayed on the bench backs. The vendor will retain 85 % of gross advertising revenue and remit 15 % to the City (or an approved nonprofit). The contract spans a ten‑year term with two optional five‑year renewals, requiring compliance with ADA, insurance minimums, and indemnification clauses. • Design and install durable, ADA‑compliant benches at City‑approved locations (approximately 80 sites). • Sell and manage advertising on bench backs, ensuring content meets City decency standards; remit 15 % of gross revenue. • Provide ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and prompt repair/replacement at no cost to the City, plus removal upon request. • Assign a dedicated program manager, maintain required insurance, and comply with all contractual and legal obligations.
