The Town will give strong consideration to vendors that demonstrate the ability to complete the project within the requested timeframe for installation of the new AV System as close as possible to the first Council meeting of Fall 2026 as noted in the schedule (September 15, 2026). Each proposal shall include a detailed implementation schedule identifying equipment procurement, delivery, installation, testing, staff training, and the date the system will be fully operational. Vendors shall clearly demonstrate their ability to complete the project as close as possible to the first Town Council meeting of Fall 2026 scheduled for September 15, 2026. Pre-Proposal Site Visit (Strongly Encouraged) The Town of Carrboro will conduct a pre-proposal conference and site visit for interested vendors. Attendance is strongly encouraged to ensure vendors have a complete understanding of the project requirements and existing facilities/equipment. The meeting will include: An overview of the project goals and schedule. A walkthrough of the Drakeford Library Complex Performance Space. A tour of the existing Town Hall Council Chambers to review audiovisual equipment that may be relocated and incorporated into the new installation. An opportunity for vendors to ask questions regarding the project scope. Following the meeting, all questions and official responses will be issued through a written addendum to ensure all prospective proposers receive the same information. Project Overview The Town of Carrboro is relocating its Town Council meetings from the current Council Chambers at Town Hall to the Performance Space at the Drakeford Library Complex. To support this transition, the Town is seeking proposals from qualified audiovisual integrators to design, furnish, install, configure, and support a professional audiovisual system for recording and livestreaming Town Council meetings and other public events. The Town currently owns audiovisual equipment installed at Town Hall that may have value in the new facility. Rather than prescribing a single technical solution, the Town is requesting proposals that evaluate the feasibility of reusing existing equipment, incorporating new equipment where appropriate, or proposing innovative alternatives that best meet the Town's operational, budgetary, and scheduling needs. The Town's priorities include: reliable livestreaming and recording; excellent audio and video quality; ease of operation by Town staff; long-term sustainability; timely installation prior to the first Council meeting in the Drakeford Performance Space.
