Description

The City of Mobile (Purchasing Department – Cruise Terminal) issued a sealed‑bid solicitation for a mini‑message‑board sign mounted on a trailer (Model WVTMM‑L). Bidders must provide a solar‑ and battery‑powered unit with a full LED display, hand‑crank lift (no hydraulic lift), and remote‑control/programming capability. The bid requires a 5 % bid bond, firm pricing for six months (extendable), and compliance with numerous certifications (SAM registration, E‑Verify, non‑debarment, business‑license, etc.). Delivery is FOB Mobile, and the vendor must unload the trailer at a site lacking a dock or forklift. No award or vendor information is disclosed; the solicitation closed on 2 Mar 2023. • Required product: Wanco Mini Message Board Trailer, Model WVTMM‑L, solar/battery powered, hand‑crank lift, remote‑control. • Mandatory certifications: SAM, E‑Verify, non‑debarred status, City of Mobile business license, bid bond (5 %). • Procurement details: Sealed bid, all‑or‑none, full open competition, no set‑aside, possible federal grant funding (limits local preference). • Logistics: Vendor must deliver and unload trailer at a non‑dock location; FOB Mobile.

Contract value

$50,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. Typical mini LED message‑board trailers of the specified model range from $12,000 to $30,000 per unit, and the City likely expects to purchase one or a few units (the bid sheet lists two line items but leaves quantities blank). Assuming a modest quantity of 2–3 units, the total contract value would fall roughly between $30,000 and $90,000. Adding costs for delivery, unloading, and bid‑bond guarantees, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is about $50,000. This estimate aligns with the solicitation’s note that contracts exceeding $50,000 must meet disadvantaged‑vendor participation requirements, suggesting the anticipated spend is near that threshold.
