About this file

This document is a Description of Intended Single Source Purchase (PUR 7776) from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically for a Dynamic Message Sign Color Retrofit project. The contract will utilize an FDOT Traffic Engineering Research Lab approved product and vendor to retrofit existing Dynamic Message Signs with internal components nearing end of life. The project is for the FDOT D2 Traffic Operations ITS Office, with a contract term of four (4) years. The posting date is 9/16/2025, with the last day for receipt of information on 10/7/2025. The contract involves retrofitting 24 locations with Daktronics Vanguard full color retrofit kits.

The estimated dollar amount for the contract is $2,035,200.00, with Daktronics, Inc. identified as the sole vendor on the Department's Approved Products List for this service. The justification for single-source acquisition highlights significant cost savings, with the retrofit kit approach saving approximately $130,000 compared to installing new DMS boards. Each new DMS board would require a new structure costing around $180,000, and disposal of an old DMS would cost about $30,000 per location. The retrofit kit will operate in existing housing without modification to the structure or foundation, providing a cost-effective method of replacing outdated or end-of-life signs.
