FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund (Parks) for a total amount not to exceed $36,846. BACKGROUND: The REC conference room is frequently used for departmental meetings, staff trainings, and community programs. The current audio and video system is outdated and has become increasingly unreliable, with instances where the equipment does not function properly. These issues have limited the effectiveness of meetings and presentations, creating challenges for both staff and participants. Upgrading the system will ensure dependable technology that supports the department's growing needs. This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with the Region VIII Education Service Center, known as The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) in Texas, as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791. Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to ImageNet Consulting LLC. The Parks and Recreation and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and determined that the contract would best meet the needs of the City. Staff recommends approval J K/LW
