Jenison board approves $40,613.83 replacement soundboard for JCA
Summary
Board approved a $40,613.83 purchase from Pro Audio to replace a discontinued, failing soundboard in the Jenison Center for the Arts auditorium; the vote was unanimous 7-0.
The Jenison Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously Jan. 12 to approve the replacement of the Jenison Center for the Arts auditorium soundboard, selecting Pro Audio for $40,613.83.
JCA Manager Brian Bennink described repeated reliability problems with the existing system, which was discontinued by the manufacturer shortly after it was installed. Bennink said the district solicited three quotes, considered durability, manufacturer support and ease of use for students, and recommended Pro Audio despite it being slightly higher than the second bid. "The District recommended Pro Audio as the preferred vendor in the amount of $40,613.83," the meeting record states.
The board approved the motion 7-0. Administrators said the replacement is intended to ensure performances and events scheduled this school year can proceed without risking a system failure and that the chosen unit allows for potential future expansion.
