Project Name Metro District-Wide Sign Inventory

Project Number (if applicable) 94103

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The purpose of this consultant contract was to populate Metro District’s sign inventory system. This work included data collection, data processing and entering of data for all permanent signs located on, along, over and near state highways in the Metro District.

It was necessary to outsource this work because the scope of this project was well beyond MnDOT’s ability to do the work in-house. There were an estimated 500,000 permanent signs within MnDOT’s Metro District to be identified, surveyed and entered into the database. Approximately 1/3 of these signs need to be re-designed. The work needed to be done to meet the federal standards of minimum reflectivity of signs.
