Staff recommends awarding contracts to multiple vendors for the purchase and delivery of broadcasting/control room equipment in the amount of $282,913.34.  In order to ensure the best overall price for the project, staff solicited bids seeking the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder for each specific piece of equipment. By doing so, the Village saved approximately $29,000 on the overall cost of the equipment.

 

2) Utilize an existing Palm Beach County contract, as a basis for pricing, with Professional Video Repair, Inc., for the installation of the equipment in the amount of $34,974.00.

 

Palm Beach County awarded contract #10-069/MB to Professional Video Repair, Inc., effective through December 18, 2015.  Contract pricing is based on a fixed rate of $67 per hour for installation of the above referenced equipment.

 

Professional Video Repair, Inc., has provided excellent service to the Village on similar work, and designed and recommended the layout and equipment required to complete this project.
