am 9 ?A :E O This equipment is presently on a Palm Beach County School Board contract and can be purchased without having to develop specifications and going to bid. Staff has compared unit prices with other vendor's and it appears the Palm Beach County School Board contract is good. Total cost for equipment and installation will not exceed $20,000. Should this equipment be installed, the ceiling and lighting in the Board Chambers needs renovating to better accommodate the proposed presentation equipment as well as all video recording in this room. The lights need to be zoned off to facilitate control during any presentation or video recording. We presently have enough fluorescent light fixtures in storage to do this work but will need the ceiling gird and tiles installed by a contractor. Estimated cost for this work is $2500 including materials and labor. The electrical and mechanical can be performed by staff. This total project expenditure will qualifXfor funding from the one cent optional sales tax according to our legal staff. If the Board's decision is to purchase and install the presentation equipment, staff recommends the ceiling and light work be included with the approval. Director of General Services Sonny Dean presented the project to the Board and advised the total cost would not exceed $22,500. Commissioner Adams questioned two 10 foot screens for the audience with a 27 inch screen for the Board and requested something larger. General discussion followed regarding possible solutions to the problem. Commissioner Bird then questioned the timing on the project, and Director Dean advised the project would be completed by the last week of this month. Charman Macht confirmed that no meetings will be scheduled for the last Tuesday in October. I ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board by a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Eggert being absent) unanimously approved purchase of the electronic system described in staff's memorandum in an amount not to exceed $20,000 and approved ceiling and light renovations in an amount not to exceed $2,500, as recommended by staff.
