The Duluth City Council voted Monday to accept a bid for new signage for Eddie Owen’s Red Clay Theatre, 3116 Main Street.

Five proposals were reviewed to provide, furnish and install all materials, labor and equipment necessary for the construction and installation of the signage. Based on a review of cost and experience of those bidding, the contract was awarded to A-1 Signs Inc. for $77,473, with an additional 10 percent contingency for a total budget amount of $85,220.

The Duluth Fall Festival has pledged $60,000 for this project with the remaining balance of funds coming from an account used for wayfinding signage.
