Description
Monterey‑Salinas Transit District seeks a qualified vendor to supply, install, and commission self‑contained, solar‑powered digital display units for bus‑stop shelters that currently have no utility service. The displays must operate on cellular data (Wi‑Fi not acceptable), integrate with MST’s Message Point Media (MPM) MP.TV content management system, and be mounted on existing poles with engineered calculations. The contract covers roughly 50 units (48 shelters plus 2 spares) and includes the option to capitalize up to ten years of service fees in the base price, with optional line‑items for alternate power configurations or extended warranties. No bonding is required, and the vendor must provide a 5 % bid guarantee, retain 5 % on invoices, and comply with prevailing‑wage, DIR, and extensive federal clauses.
• Provide low‑power, off‑grid digital displays with solar panels, batteries, and 4G cellular connectivity.
• Perform structural‑engineering calculations, install hardware on existing shelters, and train MST staff for ongoing maintenance.
• Deliver content via MPM’s API/cloud service; optional extended service fees may be bundled for up to ten years.
