Options and components include seating, roofs and wall panels, signage and advertising panels, map cases, lighting, solar power, trash-receptacle provisions, and real-time passenger information provisions. - Named display OEMs: TOLAR — USC AS 13-inch lithium-powered E-Paper signage, or an approved equal; and PAPERCAST — J2 Series 13-inch illuminated grayscale E-Paper display, or an approved equal. Alternate approximately 13-inch and 31-inch E-Paper displays and other display technologies may also be proposed subject to District approval. - Display connectivity and support: A cellular data package is specified at a minimum of 500 MB per active display per month, or an equivalent pooled plan sized to avoid routine overage charges. Display support includes device enrollment and configuration where applicable. - Notable requirements: Products must suit outdoor public-transit use and meet applicable ADA, building-code, structural, durability, safety, and local requirements. Shelter designs include solar and lighting provisions; specified systems generally require at least 100 watts of solar capacity and five days of battery-backed operation. The District reviews drawings and fabrication details. Buy America certification is also identified as a requirement. - Delivery and installation: The contractor supplies and delivers products for installation by the District or its installation contractor and provides installation hardware, anchoring information, instructions, and product-specific support.
