HEARING:
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize a Non-Exclusive Purchase Agreement with Various Vendors for New and
Replacement Audio/Visual Hardware, Software, Technology, and Maintenance and
Support Services Using Cooperative Contracts in an Annual Amount of$800,000.00 with
Two One-Year Renewals for the Same Annual Amount for the Information Technology
Solutions Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize non-exclusive purchase agreements with Audio Visual
Innovations, Digital Resources, Inc., Infinity Sound, LTD., AVI Systems, Inc., and Designs That Compute,
Inc. for new and replacement hardware, software, technology, and maintenance and support services for the
installation of audio/visual equipment in City facilities using cooperative contract in the annual amount of
$800,000.00 with Two One-Year Renewals for the same annual amount for the Information Technology
Solutions Department.
DISCUSSION:
On June 26, 2018, City Council approved Mayor and Council Communications (M&C) P-12223, authorizing
similar agreements for audio/visual (AV) equipment and services. The Information Technology Solutions
(ITS) Department has since utilized all available renewal options and this action seeks approval for new
authority for continued services.
The ITS Department will use these non-exclusive purchase agreements to purchase new and replacement
hardware, technology, and maintenance and support services from the specified vendors for all City
departments on an as-needed basis. These agreements will also be utilized for installing AV equipment
including projectors, screens, displays, digital signage equipment, sound and amplification equipment, and
audio visual controller equipment for installation in all City-owned or leased facilities.
Installations under these agreement are considered "non-standard," meaning they are needed for
auditoriums, court rooms, or other unique spaces. These installations typically require the vendor to perform
a walk-through and to advise on the needed equipment, configuration, and installation services. For each
need installation and/or project, bids will be requested from each contracted vendor to ensure the City is
receiving the best pricing. ITS Department will ensure that each vendor is given equal opportunity to earn a
minimum of 10\% of the business. No specific contract amount is guaranteed.
Staff anticipate additional AV needs with the purchase of a new City Hall building. These agreements and
spending authority will be made available for any AV need. The departments will utilize various cooperative
contracts as listed below.
