Portable Changeable Message Sign (PCMS) Supply & Setup

The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking a subcontractor to supply, transport, set up, and maintain a portable changeable message sign for traffic control and driver alerts in Tarrant County. The contract requires the provider to deliver a fully functional electronic message sign capable of displaying real-time traffic conditions, warnings, and advisories to motorists, along with the logistical support needed to deploy and operate the unit at designated locations. The equipment must meet state standards for visibility, durability, and remote operability, with ongoing maintenance to ensure continuous functionality under varying environmental and traffic conditions. Timeline for this effort is set for June 1, 2026, with the solicitation closing on the same date, indicating an immediate or direct award process. The NAICS code 423830 classifies this as a wholesale trade contract for motor vehicle parts and supplies, suggesting the provider is expected to have established supply chain capabilities and technical expertise in traffic control electronics. The place of performance is confined to Tarrant County, requiring the contractor to manage local transportation, site access, and coordination with regional transportation authorities. All work must align with Texas DOT protocols for traffic safety and infrastructure deployment without requiring additional permitting beyond standard subcontractor obligations.
