DISCUSSION
Invitations to bid were mailed to three potential bidders Twa vendors did not respond This bid
was advertised in the Fort Worth Commercial Recorder on 41u1y 29 and August 5, 1993
Since the Will Rogers Auditorium was reopened following a complete renovation last July, rentals
of this facility have increased dramatically The corresponding revenue increase is especially
important to the City at this time of budgetary shortfalls
The Auditorium attracts Broadway shows featuring nanne performers However, some
productions have been unable to be performed at the Will Rogers Auditorium because of the
inadequate number of counterweight rigging sets A counter~nreight rigging set is the mechanism
used to hang an additional backdrop or curtain required by a given show The Broadway
production "Will Rogers Follies" is tentatively scheduled to play the Will Rogers Auditorium if
seven additional counterweight rigging sets are installed, however, without this addition this
show cannot play in Fort Worth
,:
Revenues generated by the addition of seven counterweight .rigging sets to the Will Rogers
Auditorium far outweigh the expense of this improvement
