Digico Soundboard for Boettcher Concert Hall

The City and County of Denver is seeking bids for a specialized procurement of a DiGiCo Soundboard for Boettcher Concert Hall through Invitation for Bid (IFB No. 29709). The procurement specifically requires a DiGiCo Quantum852 Surface & SD Rack Package with Multi-Mode Optics, which must include two DMI WAVES Sound Grid modules, two DMI DANTE modules, and one training session. The bid is structured on an "all or none" basis, requiring firm, fixed pricing for each line item, with the City reserving the right to purchase part or the entire bid. Key procurement dates include the bid being issued on September 26, 2025, with vendor questions due by October 2, 2025, and the final bid submission deadline set for October 14, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Mountain Time. The awarded vendor must demonstrate robust local service capabilities, including the ability to respond to service calls within 45 minutes and arrive on-site within two hours if required. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-purchasing System (BidNet) and comply with environmental sustainability considerations and other specified requirements.

The procurement appears to have no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does emphasize small business engagement. Vendors must maintain a technically qualified mechanic and sufficient replacement parts inventory within the Denver Metropolitan Area. The bid requires vendors to disclose any generative AI usage as part of their proposal. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement indicates a focused, specialized acquisition for a specific technological solution at Boettcher Concert Hall. The requirement for a DiGiCo brand soundboard with no substitutes allowed suggests a precise technical specification that may limit competitive bidding. Electronic submission through BidNet and the detailed technical requirements indicate a sophisticated procurement process designed to ensure high-quality, technically compliant equipment for the city's concert venue. The emphasis on local service capabilities and rapid response times further underscores the city's priority of obtaining not just equipment, but a comprehensive support solution for the soundboard.
