City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: April 26, 2018
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent
Street Department
Purchase of 4-CMS-T333 Electronic Message Boards
To approve the purchase of 4- CMS-T333 Electronic Message Boards from
American Signal Company of Atlanta, GA for the total purchase price of
$91,099, Funding will be through Department: 160 Engineering; Fund: Grant;
Activity: Highway Block Grant.
Quote
American Signal Co. quoted these message boards through the HGAC which is
equivalent of the State Bid.
We currently have 4 message boards that are old and outdated and in need of
significant repair. Currently two are out of service. The features that come on the
new boards will help the Division make residents aware of upcoming weather
conditions and any snow emergencies.
The message boards will come equipped with cell modem with GPS for remote
operation. They will also have radar over speed detection as well as integrated
CCTV making live stream observation of current weather conditions possible.
The intention will be to set the message boards north south east and west for the
winter months and program them to read upcoming and or current weather
conditions similar to what the State DOT does with their units.
