Alpha Eclipse Street Smart (Sign Model# SS17X064X064R70115B), 44” x 44” and is not compatible with the existing weather monitoring system. The existing weather monitoring system is a Columbia Weather Systems – Pulsar 600 sensor and is mounted to the top of the wooden kiosk (see photos).

B. Base Bid – Weather Information Board

Replace non-functional weather information board with LED sign that is compatible with a Columbia Pulsar 600 weather station. Weather information board shall be from any of the following manufactures: Adaptive Displays, IP Displays, or approved equal. The contractor is responsible to configure the size of the LED sign that is best to replace the existing 44” x 44” display. Contractor shall also determine the mounting configuration of the sign on the existing wooden kiosk.

The newly installed LED display must be configured to display weather information from the existing Pulsar 600 weather sensor, via ethernet, coding and programming, or other method. The LED display must be properly sized to replace the existing 44” x 44” sign and will include all required mounting equipment to securely install the sign on the existing kiosk, if necessary. A wireless or ethernet connection to the Galena Creek Visitor’s Center shall be provided with the installation of the LED display.

Contractor shall be responsible for removal and disposal of any replaced equipment.
