Perma-Line of New England
To approve the sole source vendor Perma-line of New England of Brockton, MA
for various signs, replacement poles and proprietary items related to signs in

Schedule of Prices
The City of Nashua currently has several thousand signs and many miles of
pavement markings and crosswalks to maintain. In order to do that, we need to
purchase parts and supplies to replace those that have been damaged or worn out.
Perma-Line of New England is the regional vendor for several proprietary items
used and have proven to be a competitive source for items from _ several
manufacturers in the New England area.
Our total purchases in previous years have been approximately $25,000 per year
from this company. Individual purchases or orders vary based upon the fact that
most of our work is replacement or repair of damaged signs or new signs for
specific purposes along with such things as replacement poles and posts for those
that have been knocked down or otherwise compromised, the extent of which
cannot be predicted or planned.
Perma-Line Corp. Of New England is a competitive supplier of signs, traffic paint
and related products for the entire New England area and the City has always
been satisfied with their service and product quality. The list of items purchased
includes but is not limited to signs, pavement paint, paint machine parts, sign
posts and mounting hardware, etc.
