Dynamic Message Sign Color Retrofit

The Florida Department of Transportation's District Two has announced its intention to enter into a single source procurement agreement with Daktronics, Inc. for a project titled "Dynamic Message Sign Color Retrofit." The contract aims to retrofit existing Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) with approved retrofit kits designed to replace aging internal components, thereby extending the lifespan of the signs without the need for structural modifications. This approach offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new DMS units, with the total estimated value of the contract set at approximately $2,035,200 over a four-year period. Daktronics is identified as the sole provider on FDOT's Approved Products List capable of delivering these retrofit kits, ensuring compatibility and quality standards are maintained. The solicitation was posted on September 16, 2025, with a response deadline of October 7, 2025. The procurement process is classified as a solicitation, with no specific set-aside designation noted. The contract will be executed within the state of Florida, with the primary point of contact being Jake Boozer, reachable via email or phone. This notice complies with Florida Statutes section 287.057(3)(c), providing an opportunity for other vendors to submit input before finalizing the single source award. The project underscores FDOT’s focus on maintaining effective traffic management signage while optimizing costs through targeted upgrades rather than complete replacements.
