The City is seeking qualified firms or individuals to conduct monthly inspections of 119 BusFinders, which are solar-powered, e-ink devices displaying bus arrival times at bus stops throughout Pasadena. The contract term is structured for two years with two additional one-year option years, covering comprehensive inspection services that include documenting the condition of each BusFinder and photographing any identified issues.

Pasadena Transit operates six local fixed routes connecting residents, visitors, and workers to key city locations and the regional transportation network, including the Metro L (Gold) Line. The city has over 500 bus stops, with nearly 400 serviced by Pasadena Transit, and the current BusFinder deployment covers 119 stops. These devices provide arrival time information for Pasadena Transit, LA Metro, and Foothill Transit at shared stops, representing a technology-driven approach to improving public transportation information accessibility. The contract opportunity emphasizes maintaining the functionality and condition of these important transit information devices through regular, systematic inspections.
