Title
A Resolution Appropriating Funds for Acoustical Dampening and a PA solution for the Foley Event Center.
Summary
Sports Tourism needs Acoustical Dampening and a better speaker system to help provide more appealing environment for trade shows, tournaments, conferences, banquets, and ceremonies. We are requesting to move forward with an RFP for addressing our sound challenges within the building. We are hoping the proposals will provide us with a P/A solution for safety, 40% or higher sound bounce reduction for all visitors, better sound for presentations, as well as potentially providing additional sponsorships via covering for the panels. The project will include sound dampening panels for the building and speakers, wiring and board. Our requested budget amount is $145,000.
