Midway delays selection on AV upgrades, asks staff to define room-by-room needs
Summary
After reviewing eight proposals and a staff recommendation for Atkinson Sound, the council continued the audiovisual procurement to allow staff to specify chamber and room-level requirements and consider procurement approach.
The council reviewed multiple proposals for audio-visual system upgrades for the City Office Building and the Midway Community Center but decided to delay selecting a vendor until staff defines precise requirements for each space.
The RFP drew eight proposals and staff’s weighted-evaluation recommendation ranked Atkinson Sound highest. However, councilors questioned whether the recommended package would meet chamber needs—expressing concerns about display sizing, system redundancy, and whether the RFP scope had been sufficiently defined before solicitation. Members also emphasized the importance of ongoing technical support and ADA-compliant public-meeting functionality.
Council Member Lisa Orme moved and Council Member Kevin Payne seconded to continue the item to the next meeting so staff can add clearer definitions for each room and consider procurement options (re-solicitation vs. revised proposals). The motion passed unanimously.
