Summary

Staff said an AV vendor estimate for courtroom 5 could be around $250,000 and that county IT is exploring whether internal staff could perform some work to reduce outsourcing costs.

Kim Rivas told commissioners staff has a ballpark vendor figure of $250,000 to outsource audiovisual upgrades for courtroom 5 but that county staffer James will also look into whether parts of the project can be done in-house to save money.

"We put a ballpark figure of 250,000 if we were to outsource the project," Rivas said. James said he and his team would evaluate equipment and staffing options and return with a more detailed recommendation if the court wants to pursue a partial in-house approach.

Commissioners asked a few clarifying questions and agreed staff should seek estimates and bring comparisons back for the budget rankings.
