end
Executive Summary
This is an anticipated and budgeted project that will provide for the A/V technology needed in both public and staff meeting spaces being constructed during the City Hall/Police Station renovation project.
Background
As a part of the City Hall/Police Station renovation project, several new public and staff meeting spaces will be constructed. This contract will provide the audio and visual technology needs in those spaces. The project will include the new first floor community room, the new police briefing room, new conference rooms for both public and staff, staff collaboration space, and a police case-management area. Tierney Brothers Inc. has gone through a competitive bidding process and obtained the State of Minnesota contract for this type of work. The City has worked with Tierney Brothers on several projects in the past and recommends a continued working relationship with Tierney Brothers on these types of projects.
Strategic Plan Relationship
Providing properly equipped spaces for staff training fits within the organizational health strategic priority. Having flexible spaces that allow staff and the public to connect with others not in the building fits within the effective communication strategic priority. Finally, the professional installation and ongoing maintenance of these systems is an important piece of our well-maintained infrastructure strategic priority.
