The program encompasses management, maintenance, expansion, and modernization of Boston's street furniture infrastructure, including bus shelters, public toilets, information panels, digital displays, benches, and trash receptacles. The scope requires contractors to refurbish existing shelters, convert approximately 100 shelters to digital advertising, and add approximately 500 new shelters to expand coverage to 50% of Boston's 2,000+ bus stops over a ten-year contract term beginning after the current contract expires on May 1, 2027. Baseline elements include 200 refurbished shelters, 100 new standard shelters, 200 new digital-display shelters, and 100 micro-shelters, with optional elements including ePaper screens, shade structures, bike parking shelters, replacement public toilets, and green roofs.

The planholder list includes thirty-two companies and organizations spanning outdoor advertising, media, smart city solutions, manufacturing, and related services, including major firms such as JCDecaux Boston, Inc., Clear Channel, OutFront, Vector Media, Intersection, and BigBelly, as well as smaller specialized vendors. The contractor bears all capital and operating costs, with repayment through advertising revenue under a revenue-sharing arrangement. The City retains ownership of all inventory at contract end. Liquidated damages of $200 to $500 per incident apply for maintenance non-compliance. Massachusetts prevailing wage requirements apply, with wage schedules effective August 28, 2026. Bidders must submit separate technical and price proposals, with sealed pricing evaluated only after technical review.
