Council approves procurement for solar radar speed signs on Dills Bluff Road
Summary
After receiving two bids (Walker Brothers at $12,009.74 and a lower Fast Signs bid), the council approved installation of two solar radar speed signs on Dills Bluff Road near a sharp curve, coordinating placement with an upcoming sidewalk project.
The council authorized procurement of solar radar speed signs for Dills Bluff Road to address a high-accident curve. The project, long in development and requiring DOT approval and specialized installation, received two bids: Walker Brothers ($12,009.74) and a lower estimate from Fast Signs. The council moved to accept the Fast Signs estimate with caveats tied to the Dills Bluff sidewalk schedule and installation sequencing.
Mayor Bridal Lyon said residents have been requesting the signs for years and staff and the town engineer have coordinated locations to ensure solar exposure and contractor capacity. Two signs are planned, one on each approach to the curve; the council approved the motion unanimously and asked staff to coordinate installation timing with the sidewalk project.
