Lotsa clueless people out there and it seems to be getting worse. This forum gets more "how do I do this or that" requests than I ever remember.Not only using the search, but when did municipalities start using unauthorized traffic sign shops to supply their needs ??
So many hoops to jump through for these kinda things and the way this request was worded, this OP doesn't have a clue as to what's needed. In for a bad undertaking.
Better pricing from Shanghai but the whole city is under lockdown nowI'm sure you can find an mfg. in Shenzen with the best pricing.
That hurt my brain.I agree with Ikarasu...this sounds like a scam. I'm not sure of any city that would need 4,000+ traffic signs in a single order. How would the order person even be able to keep track of all those signs without a enormous spreadsheet. If this is true, I would have them pay upfront and make sure the check clears. At $50 per sign that is $200,000.
How long will it take 25 men to hang 4,000 signs if 25% of the signs take 30 minutes per man and 75% take 1 hour with two men?
I have no idea, just sounded like a good story problem.
Yeah, me too. I pulled a muscle in my head.That hurt my brain.
Ouch! ...good thing I don't have that muscle group!Yeah, me too. I pulled a muscle in my head.
That's interesting to know!Ouch! ...good thing I don't have that muscle group!
....this is actually not THAT weird...coming from a municipal sign shop....we have about 15,000 PARKING signs alone in our city of 110,000! So the traffic planners could be budgeting to upgrade all their old Engineer Grade type 1 reflective with HIP, perhaps over the next 5 years, and thus want to know what that will cost. Budget exercises like this are very common, and sadly, a shop can waste a lot of time with them, and the job never goes ahead.
...or...as others have noted, the big traffic supply plants are most likely to win the bid, and get the work anyway!...which is kind of what you'd expect, right?
Nothing wrong with "swingin' for the fence"....but a cautionary note, going for a big job entails the potential of big risk, and a big loss if things go sideways.
