Board of Public Works Meeting Date: July 23, 2020
Nicholas Caggiano, Superintendent
Parks and Recreation Department
Purchase of an electronic sign with message board for Holman Stadium located at
the Amherst Street entrance to the facility.
To approve the purchase of a GS6-60x150-15.85-R Galaxy Outdoor Message
Center from Scoreboard Enterprises of Mansfield MA for the total purchase price
of $39,738. Funding will be through Department: 177 Parks and Recreation;
Fund: Grant; Activity: GOFERR Grant.
Quote
Scoreboard Enterprises Inc. quoted these message centers through the
Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium (MHEC) which is the equivalent of
the State Bid.
This message center will free up a portable unit often stationed at the entrance to
Holman Stadium and also replace the antiquated sign and post up letter board. It
will be used by many City divisions to announce important information such as:
# Community Services: Covid 19 information on social distancing and mask
use
= Health Department: testing sites, clinics, flu shots
2 Emergency Management: amber alerts, active shooter information, shelter in
place, FEMA information
« DPW: traffic pattern changes, weather statements, snow emergencies, facility
closures, Solid Waste, Streets, Wastewater and P&R service announcements,
parade information, civic event information
This new message center will be funded through the GOFFER grant as part of the
reconstitution process not the Parks and Recreation Department budget.
