Agenda Title:

Council action is requested to approve the quote for $160,000 from SKC Communications for IUC 117 AV Project. 
Recommendations:

Approval is needed if the City Council wishes to proceed with the project. 
Executive Summary:

Staff obtained a quote from SKC Communications in 2022 as part of preliminary steps to look at the future technology needed in meeting rooms across the city. Since this quote, technology challenges relative to the A/V system in Room 117 of the Independence Utilities Center have increased. In order to address these challenges, the upgrades outlined in the quote are now necessary. Given the age of the quote and the current bidding and inflationary environment, it is recommended staff be authorized in an amount not to exceed $160,000.
Background:

The AV system in IUC 117 has not been updated since the building was renovated and the system in this room has been strained under the current needs of our public meetings. Staff is working to make the system meet the current needs but this has become increasingly challenging as the equipment is beyond its useful life. A comprehensive replacement of the equipment is required to fully address the A/V deficiencies. 


Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact to the City is $160,000. Expense for the A/V upgrades will be paid equally from the General Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, and Electric Fund and covered through fund balance of each fund and addressed by the future budget amendment.
