Request for Proposal Purpose The City of New Langston is seeking proposals for the manufacture and installation of electronic signage at bus stops throughout the city. New Langston plans to deploy new electronic signs that display real-time arrival information to bus riders. Background Currently, New Langston's bus stops are marked by simple metal signs displaying only the location of the stop and the lines that stop at the location. Cities around the world have begun to incorporate real-time arrival information into bus stop signage. Electronic signs are proving to be very popular with riders, and studies show that the introduction of such signage has contributed to increased ridership in numerous cities. Project Description The successful bidder will provide New Langston with up to 350 electronic signs. The signs must be powered by solar energy and have a battery backup allowing them to operate at night, on cloudy days, and in all weather conditions. The signs must have a reliability factor of at least 99 percent. The signs must display at least three and no more than five lines of text, and be connected to the Internet in order to provide real-time information to bus riders. Please submit detailed bids outlining costs by 11:59 p.m. on May 31 to the City of New Langston Regional Council at regionalcouncil@cityofnewlangston.gov.
