District seeks to replace aging auditorium sound system after assessment
Summary
Facilities staff presented consultant recommendations to upgrade the Central Mountain High School auditorium sound system and proposed selecting the lowest of comparable vendor quotes for purchase and installation; committee signaled support and asked staff to forward the recommendation to the full board.
Facilities staff told the committee an assessment of the Central Mountain High School auditorium found the sound system obsolete and noncompliant with current wireless-frequency use, and recommended replacement and commissioning by the consultant who performed the assessment.
A district facilities presenter said the wireless microphones currently in use operate on a frequency band that is no longer legal to use and that the auditorium’s overall system needed updated amplification, wiring and tuning. The facilities presenter said they solicited four vendor quotes and that the low bidder offered the same consultant-recommended equipment and included installation and commissioning.
Why it matters: the auditorium is a public-facing space where residents and families judge district performance; staff said improving audio and lighting is part of broader efforts to maintain and promote public spaces used for athletics and performances.
Committee response: members indicated support for proceeding with the low bid contingent on warranty and service terms and the consultant’s ability to install, tune and commission the system. The committee asked staff to confirm local support and coordination with IT and performing arts staff and to forward the recommendation to the full board for approval.
