The Bid document just talks about the curtains and the drawings just have a generic layout by Sesco and only lighting fixtures called out by count. No lighting plot.

All work goes through the winning contractor. Submitted: 4/23/2026 02:22:40 PM (ET) Q2: Will existing building structural drawings be issued for the determination of the speaker rigging options?
