Audio Visual Technical Assistance Services for the Alamodome
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance authorizes an Agreement with Patricia A. Iverson DBA PMI Staffing Services, LLC to provide skilled staffing for the audio visual needs of the Alamodome on an as-needed basis. The term of the agreement is for a three (3) year period with an option for two (2) additional 1-year extensions.

Funding for this contract is available through the proceeds received from each event. There is no impact to either the CSF operating budget or the City's General Fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Alamodome is a 65,000-seat multi-purpose facility, owned and operated by the City of San Antonio, that hosts conventions, concerts and shows such as Monster Jam and Disney on Ice, sporting events such as the University of San Antonio (UTSA) Roadrunners football games, the Annual Alamo Bowl Football Game, as well as the NCAA Final Four Basketball Championship (to be hosted in March 2018). Audio visual supplemental labor in addition to the Alamodome full-time staff is necessary to handle the high technical demand of hosting these events.
