Traffic Signal RFQ Checklist and Specifications Template
Introduction
A complete RFQ (Request for Quotation) gets accurate, comparable quotes from multiple suppliers. An incomplete RFQ produces quotes that vary widely because each supplier assumes different defaults. This guide covers the checklist and a template.
Project Information
Start every RFQ with:
- Project name and reference number
- Destination country and any local standards
