Portable Changeable Message Sign (PCMS) Rental and Operation

The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking a subcontractor to provide and operate portable changeable message signs for traffic control during construction or maintenance activities in Wichita. The contract involves the deployment, maintenance, and remote management of dynamic message signs to inform travelers of lane closures, speed adjustments, and other critical traffic conditions in real time. The equipment must meet state and federal standards for visibility, durability, and safety, and the contractor is responsible for timely installation, removal, and 24/7 operational monitoring to ensure public safety and regulatory compliance. The subcontract is classified under NAICS code 561499, indicating it falls under other support services, and places full operational responsibility on the vendor, including logistics, power supply, communication systems, and staffing as needed. Performance is expected to occur within the specified location in Wichita, with no formal set-aside designation for small or disadvantaged businesses. The solicitation was posted and has the same deadline, suggesting an immediate or expedited procurement process, likely triggered by an urgent or time-sensitive road project. Contractors must be prepared to respond quickly, maintain detailed logs, and coordinate directly with TxDOT field teams to align sign messaging with active work zone requirements.
