receipts and appropriations in the General Fund by5193,472 00 from increased revenue for

2 Approve the purchase of seating risers from StageRight Corporation for the Public Events

with freight prepaid and add
DISCUSSION
Bid Tabulation see attached
Invitations to bid were mailed to three vendors, all of whom attended the mandatory pre-bid
conference One no-bid was received The bid was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram
on May 25, and June 1, 1995
The bid were evaluated based upon pricing, the needs of the Public Events Department,
materials, method of construction, and ease of set-up and take down
On January 3, 1995 (M&C G-10935), the City Council approved the sale of the Public Events
Department's surplus portable bleachers to the Albuquerque, New Mexico Convention Center for
5200,000 The stated purpose of this sale was to fund the purchase of multi-purpose risers that
could be utilized for additional floor seating and stage requirements to meet contemporary needs
at Will Rogers Memorial Center The attached supplemental appropriations ordinance provides
the funding necessary to purchase these risers
The StageRight product as opposed to the Sico product provides a understructure with decks
that do not require additional locking devises, and hand tools This product minimizes time, labor,
and expense associated with set-up and take down It has reversible decks adding to the life of
the product ~~Due to the increasing number of events scheduled at the Will Rogers Memorial
Center it`is necessary to provide seating riser set-up and take down in a minimal amount of time,
using as few additional parts and tools, as safely possible, and minimizing additional labor cost
Based on the evaluation of the two products, Stageright proves to be the most advantageous to
the City The cost saving associated with set-up and take down (conservatively estimated at
51,607 00 per year) and the extended life provided by the reversible deck will more than off set
the difference (5.12,573 00) of the initial investment
