6. Memo - Council Chambers AV Install
Memo
Date of Meeting: 5/4/2022
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Charles Fischer – Director of Public Works
Subject: Council Chambers AV Install
During the April 6th Council Work Session, a recommendation was made to search for another
quote for the installation of AV equipment in the Council Chambers. Public Works contacted
Tierney Inc. which supplies and installs the same equipment as EMI, EMI is the installer of the
original system and was recommended for the additional AV equipment. After discussion with
Tierney Inc., their stance is not to provide a quote to the City for the installation of additional
equipment to support the expansion into the Council Chambers.
Tierney Inc. informed Public Works they are declining to submit a quote for the expansion due
to the potential future complications that may or will arise during installation and any technical
difficulties while operating the system. One installer was recommended to complete the
addition to the existing system so that compatible equipment and computer coding operates in
sync with one another. Also, having one vendor to contact for support will save the City time
and expense for any required maintenance or repair.
Staff retains the recommendation to approve EMI for the expansion of the AV equipment in the
Council Chambers.
