    The document outlines a justification for selecting Tait USA as the sole contractor for the Opera House Pit Lift Retrofit and Upgrade Project at the Kennedy Center. This project, with a total contract amount of $615,000, aims to upgrade the existing automated stage operation systems that have reached the end of their lifecycle. The proposed upgrade includes transitioning from the obsolete Navigator system to the new Atlas controls system, which is compatible with existing systems.
