Sample (not actual kiosk to be used)
The City is moving toward adding interactive digital wayfinding kiosks, but there are still many steps ahead before they become a reality in the Heart of Screenland. The City Council approved adoption of an ordinance that will allow these kiosks on public property on a 3 to 2 vote. Vice Mayor Dan O'Brien and Council Members Goran Eriksson and Albert Vera, Jr. voted in favor. Mayor Yasmine-Imani McMorrin and Council Member Freddy Puza abstained from the vote.
The next step will be a request for proposals (RFP) from qualified vendors for the program. More questions will be answered by the RFPs, including the design, location plan, infrastructure, installation, operation, maintenance, and advertising. An RFP will also provide information on the minimum units required to implement the program, as well as the technical specifications of each unit.
This kiosk program will have restrictions and requirements to better serve the public. One restriction on the kiosks will be the screen size of each kiosk screen, not to exceed 15 square feet.
More discussions will take place on the content and uses of the kiosks that could include what type of community-driven content would be shown on the kiosks. The earliest a vendor could be selected is October 14th, according to the proposed RFP schedule, but that could be extended.
