Recommend approval to procure audio/visual equipment and services from Stage Front in the amount of $100,600. The Savannah Cultural Arts Center will use the a/v equipment to improve capacity and functionality of the system and to integrate a/v components that currently do not function together.

The additional equipment will improve gallery and theater lighting grids that have limited capacity and integrate them with the current speaker systems.  These improvements maximize the Center’s investments in the existing equipment already installed.

This is a sole source because Stage Front Production currently provides support, maintenance and warranty of the center’s current equipment. This is the only vendor that can integrate and alter the technical configurations of the lighting and sound systems into one unified system without voiding such warranties.
