Report
Summary
This contract will provide Traffic Signal Quick Change Kits (QCKs) used to change out LED traffic signal indications (TSI) for the Traffic Signal Shop technicians. These unique clips do not require technicians to use any tools or remove their safety gloves to replace a TSI. Additionally, the kits make the replacement process faster since they eliminate the problem with other clips being dropped from the technicians' hands onto the ground 15 feet below, requiring the technician to lower the boom lift on the bucket truck to retrieve the dropped items.

QCKs are manufactured, sold and distributed exclusively by The Get Go Inc., and they maintain the copyright and patent privileges associated with these kits. There are no agents or dealers authorized to sell the QCKs, and these kits must be purchased directly from The Get Go Inc.
Contract Term
The contract will begin on or about Nov. 21, 2022, for a five-year term with no options to extend.
Financial Impact
The total contract value will not exceed $250,000 for the five-year aggregate term. Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department's operating budget.
