Department:	406th District Court

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing Agent to secure competitive quotes, in accordance with the Webb County Purchasing Rules and Regulations, for the purchase and installation of a new audio/video equipment system, including microphones, speakers, monitors, displays, outlets and any other required accessories in an amount not to exceed $45,000.00 for the 406^th Judicial District Court. [Account #1001-1130-001-431007-010 (Operational Reserve)]

Issue: The 406^th District Court courtroom needs new audio/video equipment. The television/monitor located in the courtroom abruptly stopped functioning on October 30, 2018. IT determined that it is beyond repair. The television/monitor had been in operation for more than eight (8) years. The microphones are currently operating, but in a poor condition.

Solution: Authorize the Purchasing Agent to obtain competitive quotes to secure best price and best value to replace the entire audio/video equipment in the courtroom.

Result: A new audio/video equipment in the courtroom will improve the presentation of evidence and recordings of testimony during contested hearings and during trials in civil and criminal cases and the court will run efficiently and effectively.
