The contract requires a comprehensive design, procurement, installation, and warranty service for new AV equipment including a control system, wireless microphones, speakers, projector, screen, media players, and accessibility equipment such as IR transmitters and receivers for assistive listening. The contractor must provide shop drawings, rewire for UHD digital video and 5.1 audio capabilities, install connection points for outside presenters, remove unused equipment, and deliver complete documentation and staff training. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical capability, management approach, past performance, and price, with non-price factors being significantly more important than cost.

The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price agreement with a performance period of 180 days after award, requiring the contractor to complete specific milestones including shop drawing approval, system installation, and documentation submission. The project involves upgrading the existing theater space, which measures 32' x 28' with 9'7" ceiling height, and includes requirements for a 12-button wireless remote control system capable of playing 12 different movies with full lighting control capabilities. The contractor must provide a comprehensive one-year warranty on all installed equipment and ensure compliance with accessibility requirements including audio description and captioning capabilities.
