Budget estimate

$150,000 – $300,000

Based on typical market pricing for solar‑powered, DOT‑approved mobile LED message boards, a 4 × 8 ft unit ranges from $12,000‑$18,000 and a 3 × 6 ft unit from $9,000‑$14,000. Assuming the City purchases 3 units of each size (a modest fleet for municipal traffic management), total equipment cost would be roughly $63,000‑$96,000. Adding taxes, registration fees (approximately 9.625 % San Mateo tax), delivery, and a one‑year service activation pushes the overall contract value to an estimated $150,000‑$300,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the exact quantity ordered, optional accessories, and negotiated warranty/service terms.
