WHEREAS, most of the audio, video, and broadcasting equipment in the Council Chamber is over ten years old and nearing its expected end of life. Retrofits and modifications have been made to the equipment over the years to add longevity, but these fixes are at a high risk for failure; and
WHEREAS, the quality of the broadcast to both E-TV and the website streaming is lowquality and the equipment needs to be replaced and modernized to support a higher quality broadcast; and
WHEREAS, both the City Council and Planning Commission use the Council Chamber on a regular basis to hold and broadcast their meetings.; and WHEREAS, since the end of the COVID-19 State of Emergency, the City Council and Planning Commission have been meeting in a hybrid (in-person and Zoom participants) format. As the meetings are noticed as hybrid, they must be conducted virtually and allow virtual attendees to participate. If the virtual option fails, the meeting ends. The audio and video equipment in the City Council Chamber is vital for access to Council meetings in a hybrid format; and
WHEREAS, this project is included in the 2023-28 adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP # INT-02) Council Chamber Audio/Visual Improvements; and WHEREAS, City staff reviewed the submitted proposals and selected Terrapin Technology Group as the vendor; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Emeryville that the City Manager is authorized to enter into an agreement with Terrapin Technology Group for Audio, Video, and broadcasting upgrades in the City Council Chamber for an amount not to exceed $125,000.
