The City of Newport Beach is seeking a vendor to supply, install, and integrate two large‑format Dynamic Message Board (DMS) signs on Coast Highway (one eastbound at Fernleaf Avenue, one westbound at Poppy Avenue). The vendor must provide the hardware (Daktronics or equivalent), develop software that automatically updates the signs when the CDM Beach parking lot reaches a 95 % occupancy threshold, and perform full system integration and testing. The scope also includes installation of the signs (to be performed by a contractor) and delivery of documentation/training to city staff. The solicitation emphasizes a minimum of 15 years experience with parking‑technology integration, experience with Daktronics systems, and prior work for coastal municipalities. Proposals are due electronically by 27 Oct 2026. Evaluation will weight qualifications (30 %), resources/understanding (30 %), recent similar project experience (30 %), and fee schedule (10 %).
• Provide two DMS signs with associated hardware and mounting hardware.
• Develop and integrate occupancy‑triggered messaging software (e.g., “PARKING FULL” at 95 % capacity).
• Perform installation, testing, and training; all work must be completed under the city’s standard on‑call professional services agreement.
