Summary

Council approved a first-phase audiovisual upgrade for the Public Safety Building auditorium to boost teleconferencing and emergency-management capabilities, selecting Tri City Electric over a lower-priced proposal that lacked required functionality; completion is expected by September 2025.

Staff recommended the council approve Tri City Electric’s proposal to upgrade audiovisual systems in the Public Safety Building auditorium, describing the work as the first phase of a multi-year initiative to improve teleconferencing, presentations and emergency-management capabilities.

Staff said a lower bid from another firm lacked requested functionality, so Tri City Electric was recommended despite not being the lowest price. The council voted to approve the award; staff said sufficient funds are available in the 2025 budget and anticipated project completion by September 2025.

City staff additionally noted the upgrade will support emergency-management operations because the auditorium is below ground and can act as a coordination site during incidents. No specific dollar figure for the selected proposal was confirmed in the meeting record.
