Proposals will be awarded to the highest scoring Proposer complying with the terms, conditions, guidelines, selection criteria, plans and specifications presented in the Request For Proposals. All rights are reserved by the County to determine, in the County's sole reasonable discretion, whether the Proposal meets the needs or a purpose intended and is within the budget. b.

The County may also consider the quality of product as judged by the County; past experience with Proposers, subcontractors, independent contractors, products or suppliers; qualifications of the Proposers and/or subcontractors, independent contractors or suppliers; services offered; warranties; maintenance considerations; long-range costs; delivery; and similar considerations, all as specified in detail in the RFP. c. The County reserves the absolute right to conduct such investigations as it deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Proposal and to establish the experience, responsibility, reliability, references, reputation, business ethics, history, qualifications and financial ability of the Proposers and proposed subcontractors, independent contractors and suppliers.

Attachment A RFP 110.25 Rev. 2024.11.25 CDD 17 d.

The burden of proof of such a demonstration is on the Proposer. In the event that the apparent successful Proposer fails to demonstrate or provide acceptable proof of meeting required performance criteria, that proposal will be rejected and the next eligible Proposer in the selection ranking will be invited to participate in the same process until a proposal meeting performance criteria is found within the ranking of eligible Proposers. The County reserves the rights to reject any or all Proposals or to otherwise accept the Proposal which in the County's sole discretion is in the best interest of the County. e. Pitkin County reserves the right, if it deems such action to be in the best interests of the County, to reject any and all Proposals or to waive any irregularities or informalities therein.

If proposals are rejected, the County further reserves the right to investigate and accept the next best proposal in order of ranking or to reject all proposals and re-solicit for additional proposals. f. Any questions or disputes involving the documents or procedures not covered by these Instructions or other Proposal Documents shall be resolved by the Procurement Officer on the basis of fairness, custom in the industry, maximization of competition and best interests and convenience of the County. 7. Issuance of Notice of Award, execution of Contract Documents and issuance of a Notice to Proceed shall be as specified in the Contract Documents and in accordance with the Pitkin County Procurement Code. County standard practice is to first notice the top-ranked proposer and enter into a final contract agreement prior to notifying unsuccessful bidders. Non-awarded bidders will be notified of the County’s decision and shall be offered an optional debrief conversation of the bidding and evaluation process; debrief conversations may be offered prior to contract signing but, in most cases, will not be scheduled until a contract has been finalized. 8. Contracts will be executed on standard Pitkin County Contract documents and/or by separate agreement with the Proposer. Copies of any applicable standard forms are included with the Proposal Documents. The County reserves the right to negotiate with the Proposer for contract terms not specified in the Proposing Documents. Any changes from the Pitkin County standard form contract may result in a delay in the issuance of a Notice to Proceed in order to obtain any necessary County Attorney review of changes from the standard form. Proposer agrees that any such delays shall not be grounds for either additional compensation or an extension of time to complete the work that is the subject of the Proposal. 9. If any contract awarded as a result of a Proposal extends beyond the calendar year, nothing herein shall be construed as an obligation by the County beyond any amounts that may be, from time to time, appropriated by the County on an annual basis. It is understood that payment under any Contract is conditional upon annual or supplemental statutory appropriation of funds by said governing body and that before providing services, the Proposer, if he/she so requests, will be advised as to the status of funds appropriated for Attachment A RFP 110.25 Rev. 2024.11.25 CDD 18 services or materials and shall not be obligated to provide services or materials for which funds have not been appropriated.

CONTRACTOR LEGAL Entity ________________________________________________ !#VENDOR SIGNATURE#! Date PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL: _________________________________________________ !#DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE#! Date COUNTY MANAGER APPROVAL: ________________________________________________ !#COUNTY MANAGER#! Date Attachment A Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD RFP # 110.25 ADDENDUM # 1 Date: September 9, 2025 TO: All Parties of Interest for the Pitkin County Library AV System for Meeting Rooms. This addendum is issued in response to inquiries received and/or to clarify details regarding the Pitkin County Library AV System for Meeting Rooms Request for Proposals. The following responses and/or clarifications are hereby adopted as Project Documents and, where applicable, supersede or are in addition to any previously issued documentation or communication. 1.Question: The introduction section of the RFP calls for "Audio Visual System Design and Installation Services," and the Scope of Work section repeatedly refers to "consultant." Will Pitkin County be hiring an AV Consultant for the system design/engineering and a separate contractor for the actual gear procurement, installation, and maintenance? Or, does the County intend to award all of the work and associated components to one firm, which will then handle the entire Scope of Work to include design, installation, ongoing maintenance, etc? ●Response: Pitkin County intends to award the full scope of work to a single firm. This will include all components—system design and engineering, equipment procurement, installation, integration, training, ongoing service, and maintenance. We are not seeking to hire a separate AV consultant and contractor; rather, we are looking for one firm that can manage and deliver the entire project from design through long-term support. 2.Question: The "Time Schedule" portion of the RFP refers to December 31, 2025 as the "Anticipated Contract Completion Date." Is this with respect to actual project completion (Gear installation, testing, training, etc.) or does this simply refer to formal completion of the administrative paperwork and contract? I see that September 24th is the issuance of award; clarification of the 12/31/25 date will help set realistic expectations regarding any potential equipment backorders, as well as expense expectations as lodging and travel are exponentially more cost-prohibitive as ski season emerges. ●Response: The December 31, 2025 date was included as an estimate and placeholder for administrative purposes. The Library is eager to begin and Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD complete the project as soon as possible. We also recognize that equipment availability may affect the timeline, and we understand that full project completion may extend beyond the new year. We want to remain flexible and patient in order to accommodate potential backorders. In addition, we are committed to being responsible financial stewards and will work collaboratively with the selected firm to plan travel and lodging in a way that is cost-effective and avoids peak-rate periods whenever possible. 3.Question: Can the county provide photos of the rooms? ●Response: Dunaway Community Room Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD Johnson Mezzanine Meeting Room Catto Shaw Meeting Room Hot Pick Meeting Room Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD Library Lab Teen Area Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD Director’s Office Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD 4.Question: Can the county provide floor plans of the rooms? ●Response: Yes, see attached. 5.Question: Can the county provide as-built drawings of the rooms? ●Response: We can include as-built drawings of the AV Tech in the Dunaway Room, see attached. 6.Question: Can the county provide the names of the meeting rooms? ●Response: The Dunaway Community Meeting Room, the Hot Pick Meeting Room, the Catto-Shaw Meeting Room, and the Johnson Meeting Room. We are also looking for replacement AV in the Library Lab Classroom, the Teen Library, and the Director’s office. 7.Question: For confirmation, are there six individual rooms, each with its own unique use case? Or are all six use cases expected to be incorporated into each of the six rooms? ●Response: For clarification, the Library has one Large Community Meeting Room and six small meeting rooms/spaces. The Large Community Meeting Room will need to accommodate Use Cases 1–5. The six smaller meeting rooms/spaces each only need to accommodate Use Case 6. 8.Question: Will any existing technology remain in the rooms (e.g., projectors, TVs), or will each room be outfitted entirely with new equipment? ●Response: Each room will be outfitted entirely with new equipment, with the exception of the microphones, projector, and projector screen in the Dunaway Room, which were recently replaced and will remain in place. Lighting and speakers are scheduled to be replaced separately in 2026 and are not part of the current scope. However, vendors are welcome to include them as optional additions, priced as separate line items, should costs allow. 9.Question: For each use case, will the setup be “bring your own device”? If so, is there a preference for hardwired connections or wireless? ●Response: Yes, the setup will be bring your own device. We would like to provide both hardwired and wireless connection for the widest possible variety of device options to ensure flexibility and ease of use for all participants. Providing Airplay and Chromecast capabilities is requested. 10.Question: Are schematics or floor plans available for each room? ●Response: Yes, see attached. 11.Question: Existing Infrastructure: Will electrical work be required as part of the project? ●Response: We do not anticipate that significant electrical work will be required as part of this project. However, this may depend on the final design and options proposed through the RFP process. Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD 12.Question: Existing Infrastructure: Will infrastructure cabling or any construction be required as part of the project? ●Response: We do not anticipate that additional infrastructure cabling or construction will be required as part of this project. However, this may depend on the final design and options proposed through the RFP process. 13.Question: Existing System: How many Library employees would need to use the AV solution? ●Response: We hope the system will be user-friendly and accessible for all 30 Library employees to use as needed. 14.Question: Existing System: Will users of the AV solution be using one platform more than others (Google Meet, Zoom, Webex)? ●Response: The County primarily uses the Google platform for virtual meetings, with occasional use of Zoom. However, we cannot anticipate what Library patrons will prefer to use. As a system open to the public, it should be able to accommodate all major platforms, including Google Meet, Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams. 15.Question: New Solution: Is cloud recording acceptable ●Response: Yes 16.Question: Existing System: Is a streaming platform already being used, if so, can you specify which one? ●Response: No 17.Question: Existing System: Is network equipment such as switches capable of supporting new wired connections to the AV solution. ●Response: Yes, we have open ports for networking new devices. This would need to be completed in coordination with Library staff and the County/Marmot Library consortium. 18.Question: Existing System: Does the video solution for the Dunaway Community Room need to accommodate external audio speakers? ●Response: Yes, it would need to accommodate the existing external audio speakers. We would also like patrons and staff to be able to hardwire or Bluetooth personal devices into the system as needed. 19.Question: New Solution: Will monitors/TV's that are being used for the existing conferencing solution being re-used for the new solution? Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD ●Response: We hope to replace the existing monitors/TVs in the small meeting rooms, Lab, Teen Area, Director’s Office, and the large one in the Dunaway Meeting Room. 20.Question: System and Use Case Evaluation: The RFP lists a "System/Use case evaluation" as the first service requested. What is the expected deliverable for this evaluation? Are there specific formats or metrics the county wants included? ●Response: The County does not have prescribed formats or metrics for the “System/Use Case Evaluation.” What we are looking for is a professional recommendation from the AV Solutions consultant that identifies the best available solution for each use case in our meeting rooms based on the room's functions. This means assessing the specific needs of each space (e.g., large community meetings, hybrid meetings, small group collaborations, public presentations, etc.) and recommending solutions that balance usability, reliability, and cost- effectiveness. We anticipate a clear narrative and rationale for the chosen recommendations, but the consultant has discretion to determine the evaluation method and presentation format they consider most effective. 21.Question: Existing Infrastructure: The RFP mentions the "integration plans for any existing infrastructure where applicable" should be included in the system design. Could Pitkin County provide a detailed inventory of the existing AV equipment, wiring, and network infrastructure in the Dunaway Community Meeting Room, the five small meeting rooms, and the staff office? ●Response: Yes, see attached for the Dunaway Room. The small meeting rooms/ Lab/ Office/ Teen Area have minimal AV equipment, compiled mainly of a TV Monitor and ClickShare software that isn’t in use. 22.Question: Hardware and Software Standards: Are there any preferred or required brands for hardware (e.g., projectors, monitors, cameras, microphones) or software platforms (e.g., control systems, recording software) that the County would like the proposal to consider? ●Response: To clarify, we are not replacing the projector or existing microphones at this time. We have no preferred hardware or software platforms. The proposed hardware and software should integrate with our existing projector and microphone system. 23.Question: Accessibility and Sustainability: The RFP mentions that the design should consider "accessibility" and "sustainability". Could you please elaborate on what specific accessibility standards (e.g., ADA compliance) or sustainability goals (e.g., energy efficiency metrics) should be addressed in the proposal? ●Response: Proposals should ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as Colorado’s digital accessibility law (House Bill 21-1110). Per HB 21-1110, all state and local government Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD entities—including libraries—are required to bring their information and communication technologies into conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by July 1, 2024,* or by July 1, 2025 if leveraging the grace period provided under HB 24-1454. In addition, energy efficiency and sustainability are priorities for Pitkin County. When possible, we strongly encourage solutions that minimize energy consumption and support long-term environmental goals. 24.Question: Fee Structure: The RFP asks for a fee schedule for services not included in the scope of work. Could you provide examples of the types of additional services or goods you anticipate might be needed, beyond the initial project scope? ●Response: Examples of additional services or goods that may fall outside the initial project scope include, but are not limited to: ●Ongoing maintenance or service contracts beyond the standard warranty period ●Future system upgrades or expansion opportunities (e.g., adding equipment to new spaces or integrating emerging technologies) ●Replacement parts or additional equipment not originally specified in the RFP ●Extended training sessions for staff beyond what is included in the base proposal ●Emergency service calls or expedited support outside of normal service hours ●The use of ceiling array microphones is intriguing depending on costs and feasibility. ●We hope to replace the lighting and speakers in 2026, depending on pricing, it may be considered in this process. ●We hope to add a microphone system in the children’s room. It is not part of the current scope, but depending on pricing, it may be considered in this process. These examples are provided for guidance only; we encourage vendors to outline any other potential additional services or goods they commonly provide, along with their associated fees. 25.Question: Please provide the model of the projector and screen and any other existing equipment that should be integrated into the new system (digital projection equipment in small rack) ●Response: The Projector is a Digital Projection Satellite MLS HIGHlite 4K- UHD. Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD 26.Question: Are the large room speakers part of the scope to replace? ●Response: No they are not at this time. 27.Question: It was mentioned that the Shure Mics are only a year old; do you wish to maintain use of these? ●Response: Yes we do. 28.Question: If Shure mics are retained, does the Library want to add 3 additional mic receivers so all 6 mics can be used simultaneously? ●Response: We don’t anticipate the need for any additional receivers. 29.Question: What size is the existing secondary display? ●Response: 80” 30.Question: Will the Anthem AVM 70 A/V processor be retained in the new system? If yes, which amplifiers/speakers does the AVM 70 supply Balanced Audio to? ●Response: We will defer to the consultant’s recommendations. 31.Question: Do you need / want to maintain two touch panels? ●Response: Yes, we would like to maintain two touch panels, as having both has proven helpful for flexibility and ease of use. 32.Question: For large events (such as the Aspen Literary Festival), what areas could/would be used for overflow to share content from Dunaway? ●Response: For large events such as the Aspen Literary Festival, overflow content from the Dunaway Room would primarily be shared to the three small meeting rooms, which are our first priority for overflow use; a secondary priority would be for the children’s room to be able to present overflow content. This functionality is not part of the current scope of work but would be a welcome addition if costs permit. 33.Question: In such events, do you want to share live video feed as well as media being displayed in Dunaway? ●Response: This is not a requirement of the RFP; however, we agree that the ability to share both the live video feed and the media being displayed in the Dunaway Room to overflow spaces would be a highly beneficial added service. 34.Question: For the teen space. Please confirm input sources. Confirming video conferencing is not necessary for this space. Assisted listening for rooms besides Dunaway - what areas/rooms would you like this quoted? ●Response: For the Teen Space, the input sources may include computers, personal devices, a DVD player, and wireless headphones. Video conferencing is not necessary for this space. Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD With regard to assisted listening, it is not part of the base scope of work for the small meeting rooms. However, we are interested in receiving a quote for adding assisted listening capability in the three small meeting rooms, should costs allow. 35.Question: For the Children's Space - though not part of the scope, it was mentioned that providing an option for upgrading this technology is desired; if so, can you provide use cases for the space and required functionality of the system (microphones, input sources for display, etc)? ●Response: For the Children’s Space, while not part of the current scope, we are interested in receiving an option for upgrading this technology. Use Cases and Possible Functionality: ●Movie Presentations: Ability to present both video and audio content. ●In-Person Program presentations: Presenter and all attendees are physically present. ○Presenter can share video and audio content. ○Use of handheld and lavalier microphones for amplification. 36. Question: Do you plan to use the existing projector and screen in the Dunaway Room? Response: Yes 37.Question: What are the main pain points or challenges you’re experiencing with the current equipment? ●Response: The main challenges with the current equipment include: ●System reliability: The system frequently disconnects from the projector following power surges or if it is not powered down in a very specific way. ○Desired outcome: A stable, resilient system that can recover from power issues and does not require complicated shutdown procedures. ●Ease of use: The system is not user-friendly, is easy to break, and staff are often hesitant to use it for fear of causing issues. Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD ○Desired outcome: A simple, intuitive interface that all staff and patrons can operate with confidence. ●Support limitations: When the system goes down, customer support is only available in person. The provider is several hours away and cannot guide staff remotely, which results in multi-day or multi-week delays to restore functionality. The support is prohibitively long. ○Desired outcome: Access to responsive remote support and clear troubleshooting guidance, reducing downtime and minimizing dependence on in-person service. Quick in-person service when necessary. ●Program disruption: These delays often impact community programs that rely on AV in the room, creating frustration for both staff and patrons. ○Desired outcome: A reliable, well-supported system that ensures community events and programs can proceed without interruption. ●No ability for wireless connections. HDMI input ports are damaged from overuse. HDCP limitations on HDMI ports have caused issues. 38.Question: Do you plan to use the existing speakers, or are you considering replacements or upgrades? ●Response: The existing speakers are not part of the current scope. However, we do hope to replace them in the future, so vendors are welcome to include them as possible upgrades in their proposals. 39.Question: Are the lighting and window blinds integrated into the same control system? ●Response: No, they are separate. 40.Question: Do you intend for Cinema and Presentation modes to run together, or separately? ●Response: Separately is sufficient. 41.Question: Would you like to use ClickShare for wireless presentation and collaboration? ●Response: Our past experience with ClickShare has been negative, and it was never successfully implemented. We understand that newer versions may offer improved performance, and we are open to considering it. That said, we remain skeptical based on our prior experience and would want to carefully evaluate its ease of use before moving forward. Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD 42.Question: Can you confirm the dimensions of the screen (length and height) currently installed in the Dunaway Room? ●Response: Width: 160” Height: 90” 43.Question: Do you require Bluetooth connectivity for any devices or functionality within the system? ●Response: Yes, Bluetooth connectivity is desired and is a commonly requested function that would add flexibility and ease of use within the system. 44.Question: Could you please provide the as-built drawings of the current configuration? ●Response: See attached for Dunaway Room. 45.Question: Would you like each room to be equipped with conferencing functionality? ●Response: Yes, with the exception of the teen area. 46.Question: Regarding the Teen Room, what functionalities would you like to have? ●Response: No conferencing is needed. Wireless headphones are required, and we would like to keep the DVD player. Airplay/ chrome cast are also a desirable functionality. 47.Question: Do you have any brand preferences for the hardware? ●Response: No 48.Question: Will Chromebooks be used? ●Response: The Library itself does not use Chromebooks, but the local school system uses Chromebooks. As our spaces are open to the public, we anticipate that patrons may bring Chromebooks or other personal devices. The AV equipment should therefore be able to support as broad a range of personal devices as possible to ensure accessibility for all users. 49.Question: Would you like us to include a proposal for a projector in the Kids Room? ●Response: A projector for the Kids Room is not part of the current scope. However, vendors are welcome to include it as a possible addition, priced as a separate optional line item, so it can be evaluated alongside the base scope if costs allow. 50.Question: What type of microphones do you currently use, or what type do you need? ●Response: We replaced the microphones last year, so new microphones are not needed as part of this project. The current Mics being used are Shure mics. Attachment A Rev. 2022.6.21 CDD 51.Question: Would you be open to configuring the devices to allow for remote support? ●Response: Yes, we are open to this. 52.Question: Do you require assisted listening systems in all rooms? ●Response: Assisted listening systems are only required in the Dunaway Room. However, we are also interested in receiving pricing to add them in the small meeting rooms as an optional enhancement, should costs allow. 53.Question: Could you please provide the maximum room capacity for the Dunaway Room? ●Response: 120 People Thank you for reviewing this Request for Proposals and for your willingness to pursue business opportunities with Pitkin County. Should you require any additional clarification regarding the Project or this Addendum, please contact Procurement@PitkinCounty.com .

Ellis St. Lakewood CO 80228 Pitkin County Library 120 N Mill St Aspen CO 81611 RE: RFP 110.25 – Pitkin County Library AV System for Meeting Rooms Dear Pitkin County Library Selection Committee, We are excited for the opportunity to partner with Pitkin County Library on the A/V Meeting Room Upgrade project. The requested services and scope align perfectly with our team’s expertise, technical capabilities, and proven approach to delivering reliable, user-friendly systems. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business with over 25 years of experience providing integrated A/V solutions, we bring a deep understanding of how to design, implement, and support systems that meet the needs of public-sector environments. Over the past year, our team has successfully completed projects for multiple library branches with Denver Public Library and government institutions, including the recent upgrade of the Centennial Council Chambers from Extron to Q-SYS and Visionary AV-over-IP. That project resulted in a 45% reduction in rack-room power consumption—an immediate improvement in both performance, reliability, and sustainability. We bring this same forward-thinking, future-ready design approach to Pitkin County Library. We appreciate the time and insights shared during the RFP process, Q&A, and site walk. Your feedback helped us clearly understand the vision: a system that is simple for staff and patrons to operate, robust enough to meet today’s needs, and flexible enough to grow with the library’s future plans. What We Heard & How We’ve Responded: •Dunaway Community Meeting Room: We will integrate the existing projector, projection screen, Shure microphones, and Anthem AVM 70 processor while upgrading the system with Q-SYS Control and a custom-designed User Control Interface (UCI). This UCI, developed in collaboration with your team, will be intuitive for both staff and patrons and accessible via touch panels or mobile devices (iPads/PCs). We recommend upgrading the secondary display to a 98" Sony Bravia 4K HDR for improved visibility, while leveraging Visionary AV-over-IP encoders/decoders for scalable video signal distribution. A single Q-SYS 8000 Watt, 8-channel network, FlexAmp amplifier supports your current JBL speakers and is scalable for the planned 2026 speaker upgrade. Audio and Video recording and streaming will be enabled through an Epiphan Pearl Nano device. •Meeting Rooms 2–4 and Library Lab: To provide a consistent and intuitive experience across all small rooms, we have specified MAXHUB 65" Interactive Displays with embedded Windows PC modules. These all-in-one solutions provide simple native video conferencing across Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Webex paltforms, along with wireless and wired (HDMI/USB-C) content sharing.

These options are outlined in detail in Section 7 – Fee Schedule and summarized here: • Alternative Mounts for Small Meeting Rooms – Swing-out wall mounts are recommended for spaces where the interactive display cannot be centered. These mounts allow the display to pivot outward, improving viewing angles, camera positioning, and overall user experience. • MAXHUB Touch Control Panels – Dedicated 10.1" touch panels provide a professional-grade control interface for MAXHUB interactive displays. This option improves usability by giving staff and patrons a reliable, consistent control interface separate from the main display. • Dunaway Meeting Room Beamforming Microphone – Shure MXA920 ceiling array microphones, pendant-mounted at 12' AFF, provide advanced voice pickup across the room. One may be sufficient for central seating coverage; two MXA920 are recommended for full-room and perimeter coverage. • Overflow Content Sharing – Visionary D5200 AV-over-IP decoders in the three small meeting rooms (Hot Pick, Johnson, Catto Shaw) would enable these spaces to serve as overflow rooms for large events in the Dunaway Room. This option is a cost estimate and will require confirmation of cable runs and CAT6 pathways back to the AV rack in Dunaway. Note on Assisted Listening in Small Meeting Rooms: Based on typical use cases, the small conference rooms are not ideal for dedicated assisted listening systems. However, if these rooms are used for overflow during large events in Dunaway, additional Williams AV FM receivers can be added to the existing assisted listening system. The Williams FM system already proposed provides coverage up to 1,000 feet from the AV rack, making it possible to extend assisted listening into these spaces without installing separate systems. Children’s Area – System Replacement Option As an additional option, we have developed a preliminary scope for replacing the A/V system in the Children’s Area. This design is based on limited available information and should be considered a budgetary estimate. If this option is pursued, we recommend a thorough discovery process to better define actual use cases, confirm infrastructure capabilities, and identify opportunities to revise the system components for cost savings. Proposed Equipment and Functions: • Q-SYS NV-32-H Core Capable Endpoint – Provides local video switching, audio DSP, and AV bridging with support for future AV-over-IP integration. • Q-SYS TSC-70-G3 7” Touch Screen Controller – Simplifies control of sources, volume, and projector/display functions with an intuitive interface. • QSC SPA2-60 Energy Star Amplifier – Powers in-room audio with efficient, compact amplification. • QSC AC-C6T Ceiling Speakers (x6) – Provides clear, even audio coverage throughout the room. • Epson PowerLite L530U Laser Projector – Delivers bright, high-quality visuals suitable for storytime, presentations, and special events. • Shure MXW Wireless Microphone System – Includes handheld and lavalier microphones for storytime leaders, presenters, and interactive programming. • Netgear AV Line Network Switch – Provides reliable networking for AV-over-IP devices. • Miscellaneous Cables, Mounting Hardware, and Programming – Includes CAT6 cabling, HDMI/USB interconnects, and Q-SYS programming for control, audio routing, and user interfaces. Please keep confidentialAttachment B 36 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Outcome: This system would provide the Children’s Area with a full-featured A/V solution supporting storytime, educational programming, and small-scale presentations. The design leverages the same Q-SYS control framework used in other library spaces, ensuring consistent operation and simplified support. Overflow Capability: With the addition of Visionary AV-over-IP functionality, this space could also be used as an overflow room for events hosted in the Dunaway Community Meeting Room, allowing live video and audio to be seamlessly routed into the Children’s Area for larger community gatherings. Important Note: This scope is an estimate based on limited available information. In practice, the Children’s Area system may be able to be revised for additional cost savings, depending on actual needs and how the space is most often used. This proposal is intended to provide the County with a baseline replacement cost for budgeting and planning purposes. ** Detailed Pricing for Additional Options on Next Page** Please keep confidentialAttachment B 37 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Attachment B 38 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Please keep confidentialAttachment B 39 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Please keep confidentialAttachment B 40 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Please keep confidentialAttachment B 41 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Please keep confidentialAttachment B 42 Smart Systems | 303.588.1146 | www.cosmartsystems.com Thank you for your consideration!
