On March 28, 2018, 2017 Wisconsin Act 146 was signed into law, modifying certain provisions of Ch. 16, Wis. Stats. related to the procurement of signs. New State procurement policy was issued as PIM18002.
- Orders under $3,500 may be placed on a ‘Best Judgement’ basis with the vendor best able to meet your needs.
- Official sealed bidding is now required for sign purchases over $3,500 (see below regarding UWM’s contract P17-019-O19).
The $3,500 threshold applies to the total known amount that you would spend on signage at the time the bid is prepared. Campus must follow existing UWM and State policies as they relate to serial contracting.
UWM has three Signage Vendors available on competitively bid contract P17-019-O19 who can be used for orders above $3,500. In order to comply with the new law and State policy, you must request quotes from each of the three vendors, and the job must be awarded to the lowest cost vendor OR an official sealed bid must be completed by purchasing. The contracts and base pricing lists for the three vendors – Fast Signs-Glendale location, West Allis Blue, and Epic Color, are located at the following link:
