  • Billings Sign Service

Description

This contract concerns the replacement of an existing outdoor LED message sign at MetraPark in Billings, Montana, with three new full‑color LED signs (one main 20’ × 12’ sign and two back‑lit cabinets). Yellowstone County’s Finance Department issued an Invitation for Bid, received bids by July 28 2025, and later posted a Notice of Intent to Award indicating that Billings Sign Service was selected as the winning vendor. The scope includes site surveys, design, permitting, removal of the old sign, structural repairs, painting, installation of the new LED hardware, controller, sensors, testing, and a brief training session for MetraPark staff, along with a minimum five‑year parts warranty and ten‑year spare‑parts guarantee. The procurement followed a full and open competition process with mandatory pre‑bid attendance, bid security of 10 % of the bid amount, and compliance with Montana prevailing‑wage and local‑preference requirements.

Contract value

$160,000

The contract involves a main 20’ × 12’ high‑brightness LED sign plus two sizable back‑lit cabinets, all requiring design, permitting, removal of existing signage, structural repairs, painting, installation, testing, and a brief training session. Assuming a unit cost of roughly $200 per square foot for high‑end LED modules (including drivers and controllers) yields about $48,000 for the main sign (240 sq ft) and $64,000 for the two cabinets (≈321 sq ft). Adding engineering, design, permitting, removal, structural work, painting, labor, and training could contribute an additional $40,000‑$60,000. Therefore a reasonable ballpark total is in the range of $150,000‑$170,000. This estimate reflects typical market rates for similar municipal LED signage projects in the Mountain West region.
