Pomona council awards sign construction project

POMONA - City leaders on Monday awarded a contract of more than $93,000 to a Mission Viejo-based firm to build and install a sign system for the Phillips Ranch area of Pomona.

Council members, acting in their capacity as members of the governing board of the city's redevelopment agency, approved awarding the $93,295 contract to the firm, A Good Sign Inc.

The company will be for responsible for constructing and installing a series of similarly designed signs meant to facilitate navigating the streets of Phillips Ranch. The signs are also meant to help residents and visitors find locations such as shopping areas, schools, parks and freeways, a city staff report said.
