Title
Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing the purchase of the replacement stage at the Killeen Civic and Conference Center from StageRight in the amount of $90,028.
Summary
DATE: August 1, 2023
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Tiffanie McNair, Executive Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: KCCC Stage Replacement
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The stage at the Killeen Civic and Conference Center is 21 years old, and many of the parts are at the end of their usable life. The inserts are wearing down with repeated use, some welds have begun to crack, back rails have become worn and are very difficult to attach to the stage. These issues pose a safety hazard and concern for customers who utilize the stage.
Since the current stage is no longer produced, a complete stage replacement is the only option to continue offering a safe, clean, professional stage for customers. This replacement was included in the FY 2023 budget as a decision package.
The Killeen Civic and Conference Center requested quotes from three stage manufacturers, and the following quotes were received.
Company Quote Amount
StageRight $90,028
Sico $91,473
MityLite $104,287
Staff evaluated the quotes and found StageRight to be responsive and below the estimated cost for stage replacement budgeted in FY 2023. Staff recommends acceptance of the quote from StageRight, in the amount of $90,028, utilizing the Buyboard cooperative agreement (#667-22).
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
1. Do not approve the purchase of a replacement stage.
2. Approve the purchase of a replacement stage from another vendor.
3. Approve the purchase of a replacement stage from StageRight, in the amount of $90,028.
Which alternative is recommended? Why?
Staff recommends alternative number 3, acceptance of the quote from StageRight, in the amount of $90,028. Staff evaluated the quotes and found StageRight to be responsive and below the estimated cost for stage replacement budgeted in FY 2023.
