SUBJECT:

Alamodome Marquee Improvement


SUMMARY:

This ordinance authorizes acceptance of a contract with Daktronics, Inc. to provide all labor, material and equipment to install two (2) Outdoor Daktronics LED Video Displays at the Alamodome for the Convention and Sports Facilities Department for a total cost of $545,780.00, and appropriates funds in the amount of $545,780.00 from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Redemption & Capital Reserve Fund.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The Alamodome will be hosting the 2018 NCAA Men's Final Four Basketball Tournament beginning in March 2018. While the Alamodome facility meets the NCAA minimum requirements, the Alamodome marquee improvements would significantly improve the fan and attendee experience not only for this event but for all other events at the Alamodome. The current Alamodome marquee was installed in 2004 and has exceeded its useful life span. The Alamodome marquee improvements will also better enable the Alamodome to competitively bid on future NCAA and college football opportunities such as the College Football National Championship and distinguish the Alamodome from other comparable stadiums. Furthermore, the video boards and ribbon boards installed inside the stadium during the renovation are also Daktronics boards making it easier for staff to operate and maintain the equipment.


ISSUE:

This contract with Daktronics Inc. will provide all labor, material and equipment to install two (2) Outdoor Daktronics LED Video Displays, approximate active area of 24 feet high by 30 feet wide, Daktronics Custom Control Panel, and software package. This contract also includes a spare parts package to support Daktronics' manufactured products, and onsite operator training for one day.

Daktronics will remove and dispose of existing equipment, provide site clean-up, lift, unload and inspect all message center equipment and control ...
