Trailer Mounted Variable Message Signs

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Master Agreement CTR069161 is a specialized contract focused on procuring Solar-Powered Variable Message Sign (VMS) trailers for transportation communication purposes. The IDV covers two sizes of solar-powered trailer-mounted changeable message signs designed to operate in extreme environmental conditions, ranging from temperatures of -30 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and elevations up to 10,000 feet. These trailers feature full matrix display capabilities, solar photovoltaic panels, deep cycle batteries, hydraulic lifting mechanisms, and are engineered to meet federal safety standards and compatibility requirements with state fleet vehicles.

The master agreement is awarded to K & K Systems Inc., a Mississippi-based company, and is structured as a twelve-month contract with potential extensions up to 48 months. The contract was initially awarded on December 21, 2023, with the current amendment extending performance through December 20, 2026. Geographically limited to Arizona, the IDV provides ADOT with a streamlined procurement mechanism for specialized transportation communication equipment. While specific total contract value is not disclosed, the vehicle enables ADOT to procure these critical infrastructure communication devices through a pre-negotiated agreement that includes provisions for repair services, parts, and warranty coverage.
