Meeting Date: 2/10/93 <br /> Agenda Item: P 2 <br /> CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion of a possible <br /> contract for services for <br /> audio /visual design and <br /> specifications <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br /> REVIEWED BY: <br /> EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: <br /> The city's audio equipment is inadequate and needs replacing and <br /> upgrading beyond simply replacing old microphones with new <br /> models. The video equipment is also old and may need replacing <br /> in the near future. And, the council podium should be lowered to <br /> be more accessible. Each of these items should be considered <br /> individually and together. <br /> Staff met with Bill Bruce, who is the cable coordinator for <br /> Little Canada, about working with Falcon Heights to design and <br /> specify an upgraded audio /visual system for the city. Mr. Bruce <br /> charges $35 /hour for his services and is willing to discuss and <br /> agree to a maximum dollar amount for his design and <br /> specifications services. He is also able to design a system that <br /> can be gradually improved upon. Mr. Bruce is familiar with the <br /> city's audio /visual equipment and council chambers, and is <br /> willing to use as much existing equipment as possible. <br /> Since the staff does not have the expertise to do this work, and <br /> relying on a sales representative from a firm that sells <br /> audio /visual equipment may lead to increased costs due to an <br /> incentive to sell equipment, staff would like council approval to <br /> proceed with discussions toward a contract with Mr. Bruce for <br /> these services. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Direct staff to discuss a contract for design and specifications <br /> for audio /visual equipment with Mr. Bill Bruce. <br /> Staff report on discussions to date. <br />
