The Virginia Department of Transportation is issuing an Invitation for Bids for eight (8) trailer‑mounted, solar‑powered electronic message boards (or equivalent) to be furnished and delivered, with an optional ninth unit available within six months after award.

Budget estimate

$150,000 – $300,000

While the solicitation does not disclose pricing, comparable solar‑powered trailer‑mounted message boards typically range from $20,000 to $35,000 per unit, including basic accessories and delivery. For eight required units, the total equipment cost would likely fall between $160,000 and $280,000, with the optional ninth unit adding another $20,000‑$35,000. Accounting for possible discounts, transportation, and contingency, a reasonable estimate for the contract value is roughly $150,000 to $300,000.
