Section 1: Purpose of the RFP
Mt. San Antonio College is replacing its signature College marquee, located at the intersection of Temple Ave. and Grand Ave. in the City of Walnut, California, with a new LED sign system consisting of two identical single face full color display systems, which will display identical content. Each display system will be approximately fourteen feet (14’-0”) wide by seven feet ten inches (7’-10”) high. The actual dimensions of the display faces will be dependent on the LED panel selected, however the intent of this project is to provide a display system with a 16:9 display aspect ratio with minimal scaling and sizing required to fill the screen.
The marquee enclosure will be provided and installed by Williams Sign Company under a separate agreement with the College. See Attachment #F for a conceptual drawing of the new enclosure. The successful display vendor will provide the completed display cabinets to Williams Sign and will coordinate the installation of the cabinets within the new marquee enclosure. The display vendor will be responsible for all power and data connections to the finished display boards. Existing power at the marquee enclosure is provided by a load center inside the base of the marquee, with a 150 amp three phase 120/208 volt main breaker, twenty five (25) branch circuit breakers rated at 20 amps each and two (2) branch circuit breakers rated at 15 amps each.
Content for the display boards will be provided by a BrightSign XT1143 player, this player and the associated required network connectivity will be supplied and installed by the College. The BrightSign XT1143 player will provide any of the following preferred video output formats via an HDMI 2.0a output connector:
