Big rush job (~2 week turnaround). Which trade suppliers could pull this off?

[tulsagraphics]

Hi all!

A customer requested a large job yesterday, due in hand by the 14th. I reached out to local fab shops for metal shearing, but none could get the aluminum in my hands with enough time to apply graphics (busy season and all). It's a fair bit of work for 1 person, but I was thinking I could man handle all that with my RollsRoller over the course of 3 to 4 days.
But if doing the graphics myself is out of the question, given the time frame, are there any trade suppliers out there with the capacity to produce the entire job, start to finish, for a July 14th delivery? (going to Oklahoma)
I checked with S365 about 4 hours ago -- they're still working on a quote.

SPECS:
(66) .080" aluminum signs (6 different sizes), single-sided full-color (full coverage, mostly black and orange). By my calculations (well, OptiCutter's calculations), the job will require (44) 4'x 8' sheets (over 1,600lbs of aluminum -- about $6.5k worth of metal in my neck of the woods. Sheesh!)
-- .080" required per spec, non-negotiable - I checked.
-- cutting plan attached

Thanks!

Yep, I did. Only 8 trade suppliers listed, and out of those, only (1) offers .080" products "WYLD". (I'm not familiar with them, but reaching out when they open)
FireSprint doesn't offer aluminum products.

Really, when you get into .080" aluminum, especially custom sizes -- very few companies offer it -- probably because it's so heavy and hard to cut.

WYLD is terrific
they are fairly close to us and they are a "preferred vendor" on my list
always been very helpful , with jobs we were not equipped for.
nice quality work, always on time

they are east coast, of course

that should be easy for s365. I order large runs of metal signs from them often.. and b2sign but they don't do 080.

Check with your aluminum supplier and ask if they can provide material to size. Allied Plastics has been good about that for us. They are based in Dallas so shipping to Tulsa might not be terrible.

Ah. I didn't know Allied worked with metal. I get most of my polycarb from their OKC location. Thanks!
