About this opportunity
The City of Portsmouth, Virginia is soliciting bids for installation of permanent dynamic message signs (DMS) and train detectors at four at-grade railroad crossings, with proposals due July 28, 2026.
The scope covers DMS and unobstructive train-detection systems at High Street near Virginia Avenue, Frederick Boulevard near I-264, George Washington Highway near Harley Avenue, and Elm Avenue near Williams Avenue. The signs must inform motorists approaching these crossings and integrate with existing traffic control infrastructure. Bidders must demonstrate experience with similar railroad crossing warning systems and DMS installations. Technical specifications address message display clarity, visibility standards, reliability under varying weather conditions, operational parameters, maintenance protocols, and integration requirements.
The project is funded through the City of Portsmouth's SMART20 program, which focuses on transportation safety and infrastructure improvements related to rail grade crossing safety. The specification document (831459signsPmouth.pdf) contains detailed technical requirements and installation standards.
