The purpose of this Amendment 0001 is to:

1. Provide answers to questions asked by industry.

Jaime Bennett Contracting Officer

1. How many breakout rooms are being utilized?

21 break out rooms will be utilized through the duration of the event. AV will only be used in one breakout room, that will be a projector and screen equipment.

2. Will you have break out technicians for the duration of the event or will we be providing?

We will not need a technician during the duration of the event, however if there is an issue with the equipment, we would like to have an on-call technician.

3. Will we be providing GS technicians lighting, video, and audio?

Yes, for the parade of athlete’s ceremony.

4. Will you be utilizing the in house audio system for the breakout rooms?

Yes.

5. Do you have to have everything as listed on your request or can it be similar equipment?

No. It can be similar equipment.

6. Will we have at least 24 hours before the event to set up the rooms? How much time for the rooms do we have?

Yes. The meeting room with projector and screen equipment can be setup as early as August 22, 2024 at 7am MST. It will be needed by the morning of August 23rd. The Parade of Athlete ceremony AV equipment can be setup the evening of August 23rd or the morning of August 24th.

7. Can we use rigging points that have been established by the convention center opposed to the stand crank.

Yes. There are no rigging points in the meeting rooms – there are rigging points in the ball room but the inhouse vendor has to hang the motors.

8. Is there a way to get a more precise timing breakdown for the rooms?

All rooms for the Event will be available starting at 7am MST on August 22, 2024- August 29, 2024.

9. Does all equipment need to be on premises for the entire duration of the event or as the event proceeds and some equipment isn’t needed for the duration of the project can we remove to give a better quote?

Some equipment can be removed after the event occurs, such as equipment for the Parade of Athletes ceremony. The projector and screen would need to stay throughout the duration of the event.

10. For the parade opening ceremony:

How many comp packages do you need? and are we able to connect to the convention center speaker system also so that sound quality can travel throughout all the breakout rooms?

There are patch fees for the house sound system. Those fees are charged by an inhouse vendor.

11. For the laptop M tech table, will you need a tech to assist with any presentations, slideshows, backdrops etc.?

Yes, for the Parade of athlete ceremony only.

12. Solicitation includes two quotation due dates, the SF marks the quotation submission deadline by March 11th 2024, while the rest of the sections state March 20th, 2024?

March 20th is the correct response date.
