Summary

Council reviewed quotes ranging from about $14,000 to $28,000 for a 4'x6' digital reader board at City Hall/Library; staff will check references, and Councilor Jimmy Murray noted higher-priced units include on-board video processing vs. cloud management.

The Lowell City Council reviewed vendor quotes on Jan. 6 for a 4-by-6-foot digital reader board to be installed at City Hall/Library, with prices ranging from about $14,000 to $28,000. The project is budgeted at $18,000.

"The higher-priced option includes an on-board video processing unit rather than cloud-based management," Councilor Jimmy Murray said, explaining a key technical difference the council should consider. Council members asked staff to gather additional information, including references from current users, before making a recommendation.

Staff will return a recommendation at the council’s next meeting. No contract award or final selection occurred at the Jan. 6 work session.
