Summary

The current Commission Chambers audio and video systems are dated and in need of replacement. Although staff continues to do the best we can with our current systems, our continued use of remote meeting technology, and the variations of meeting scenarios in which we are attempting to use such technology with our current systems, has exposed their limitations.

Staff recommends purchasing the audio video solutions proposed by AVI-SPL Inc. including their ongoing support services in order to improve the overall in-person and remote meeting experience for commissioners, volunteers, staff and citizens.

The equipment proposed for upgrade includes digital signal processing, dais microphones, video presentation, transmission, and projection equipment and replacement dais displays.

The proposed projects will piggyback the following contracts:

Florida Department of Management Services Audio Visual Equipment and Accessories (52161500-ACS-16-1).

Florida Atlantic University Audio Visual Equipment and Services (18S-663)

Omnia Partners Public Sector Audio Visual Goods and Services (2019.001535).

Fiscal Impact

Option 1. Replacement of audio system only: $19,089.55

Option 2. Replacement of audio and video systems: $52,994.67
