No bids for Paramount Theater catwalk work; board considers rebid or piecemeal repairs
Summary
Bids for safety improvements at the Paramount Theater (catwalk, handrails, lifelines, staircase replacement) closed with no responses; staff advised rebidding and consulting a theater-rigging specialist, or performing piecemeal in-house work that would take longer.
The board opened bids for safety-related work at the Paramount Theater and learned no contractors submitted proposals by the 3:30 closing time.
Staff explained the work involves adding handrails and lifelines for chandelier work, and replacing a wooden staircase with steel—specialized theater rigging and catwalk safety work. Staff recommended rebidding the project and said the city would consult the project engineer (whose specialty is theater rigging). One option discussed was completing smaller pieces of work in-house, but staff warned that would extend the project timeline.
No formal motion to award a contract occurred because no bids were received. The board moved on to other agenda items after discussing outreach to other theaters and the consultant's role.
