Refurbishing (5) Variable Message Boards

The Florida Department of Transportation, District Two, intends to enter into a single source contract with American Signal Company to refurbish five (5) variable message boards that are deteriorating due to age. The scope of work includes replacing the Sign Case Assembly, Terminal, Umbilical Assembly, and Rat Tail Terminal on each board. This one-year refurbishment contract is estimated to cost $45,000, which is less than the $57,575 cost to purchase five new variable message boards. FDOT has determined that American Signal is the sole source for this refurbishment work, as they are the original manufacturer of the boards currently owned by the department.

This single source procurement opportunity is not designated for any specific set-aside or disadvantaged enterprise. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned. The estimated budget for the one-year refurbishment contract is $45,000.
