Accept Stage Front Presentation System Proposal
Department:Information Technology
Caption:Accept proposal from Stage Front Presentation Systems regarding
the presentation system for the new Commission Chambers.
Background:The Information Technology (IT) Department has explored
options for installing and managing an Audio-Visual (A/V)
presentation system for the renovated Commission Chambers in
the Augusta-Richmond County Municipal Building. The system
utilized in the current Commission Chambers on the Municipal
Building 8th floor contains components that can be re-used in the
new Commission Chambers. It is the intention of the IT
Department to move and re-use as many components of the
existing system as is practical. While there are components that
can be re-used in the new chambers, there are also certain pieces
which it will be to Augusta’s advantage to replace or add on to the
current system. Due to the different configuration of the new
commission chambers (which includes a Control Room on the 3rd
floor), there is a need for cabling to move the control of sound and
video to the Control Room. Additionally, the new shape of the
chambers means that it is possible for wall-mounted cameras to be
used in order to improve the video feed. The addition of waiting
rooms and a conference room external to the chambers also
provides an opportunity to provide an improved audio and video
experience for persons who attend commission meetings.
Analysis:The goal of the IT Department in this project is to ensure that the
new commission chamber has audio and video performance that is
superior to what is currently available. There are needs in the
areas of audio and video that can be addressed. The new
Chambers will include an A/V Control Room on the 3rd floor,
overlooking the Chambers. Sound for the existing system is
operated with controls that are located underneath the dais, so
there is a need for cabling to move those controls to the Control
Room. Cabling from microphones and the lectern will likewise
need to be installed to reach the control room. Due to the rapid
pace of technological change and the configuration of the new
chambers, there are other components that cannot or should not be
re-used. Augusta IT will work with the Vendor to replace this A/V

equipment with newer models, but reserves the right to purchase
from other resources in order to secure the best price. Likewise,
we also reserve the right to choose which components of the
proposal are implemented. In regard to video, the use of large
monitors rather than ceiling-mounted projectors means that the
existing Crestron presentation-management system will need to be
re-programmed so that the video feed can be directed through the
monitors. IT is also seeking to include wall-mounted cameras as
part of this project so that a more robust, higher-quality video feed
can be presented to persons in the waiting rooms and to the
outside world via the live-streaming internet feed. Stage Front
Presentation Systems was selected for our original presentation
system project. Stage Front has maintained, reprogrammed, and
replaced parts in the original system as needed. They have
intimate knowledge of the inner workings of our presentation
system, and personnel from Stage Front have been consulted for
various modifications to the system. Based on the reasons listed
above and the technology expertise that is needed to satisfy the
presentation needs of the new chambers, IT recommended that
Stage Front be recognized as a sole-source for purposes of moving
equipment (where practical) as well as installing and configuring a
limited selection of new equipment. Utilizing this vendor ensures
that the components of the system can be set up by the same
company that set it up originally, eliminating any potential
conflict if/when support is needed. Stage Front has been a
dependable vendor, and they have responded quickly and
appropriately when needed.
Financial Impact:This project will be funded through the budget for the renovation
of the municipal building. The project should cost, at maximum,
$153,339.46, but permission is requested to spend up to $170,000
based on contingencies that may occur during installation.
Alternatives:N/A
Recommendation:Accept proposal from Stage Front Presentation Systems regarding
the presentation system for the new Commission Chambers

Attn: Mike Blanchard, Deputy Director Information Technology
Ref: Council Chamber Audio Visual Systems Relocation and Upgrades Proposal
Dear Mike Blanchard,
It is my pleasure to assist City of Augusta, Georgia with the City Commission Chamber Relocation. The follow-
ing proposal outlines the equipment and installation costs associated with furnishing the systems and services
described below.
The presentation systems described in this document reflects Stage Front’s 30+ years of experience, including the
design and integration of systems for many municipal clients. The design incorporates systems that have proven
most successful in similar facilities, updated with the latest in technology and fine-tuned for the intended use of
City of Augusta, Georgia.
Stage Front provided integration services for the existing Council Chambers on the 8th Floor. It is critical from
a support and usability standpoint to maintain a consistent support model, user interface, technical design, and
equipment in the new 2nd Floor location. Due to the critical nature of this facility, continuity of service for the
council, staff, and participants is paramount. Since the initial install, Stage Front has provided ongoing support
and minor modifications as required. Stage Front is the only vendor fully qualified to provide a completely con-
sistent design, user interface, and support model within the restricted project schedule.
Please call to discuss at your convenience.
Best regards,
Tommy LaRue

PRESENTATION SYSTEM NARRATIVE AND PROPOSAL
ANALOG AUDIO & VIDEO RELOCATION
The following will detail the scope of work required to relocate the existing analog system from the 8th Floor to
the 2nd Floor. This will also highlight the new monitors and necessary minor functionality upgrades.
8th Floor
Remove entire existing system from 8th floor. This will require a labor investment of (32) hours (2 men / two
days).
2nd Floor
Install racks in upstairs control room. Mount 14 new “shotgun” style microphones at dais and clerk area with new
cabling back to booth. The shotgun microphones will help alleviate the issue of people not speaking directly into
the microphones. Mount wall speakers and cable to booth. Cut in audio media input/output plates and cable to
booth. Add new microphone and line level audio cables in lecterns and extend to booth. Add audio output to
camera input/output plate location at rear of room. Install wireless antenna distribution and extend from booth
to council chambers. Re-configure the digital signal processor for the room changes, analyze and tune the speaker
system.
Run VGA cables from the outputs of the lecterns and clerks area to the switcher at the booth. Add a VGA distribu-
tion amplifier after the switcher to feed the dais 80” LCD monitors, the camera input/output plate at the rear of the
house and to the council distribution amplifiers in the dais. The new camera input/output plate needs a composite
video and audio run to the encoder in the booth which will be connected to the network. At the Dais, three VGA
distribution amplifiers will need to be installed, feeding the eleven council and two clerk monitors. This cabling
will be run in Wiremold raceways by AV contractor, as will the grommet holes for cables and mic mounts in the
counter tops. The dais monitors will be mounted and tested.
Two new 80” LCD monitors will be added to the back wall of the dais. Two 60” LCD monitors will be added to the
lobby and one 70” LCD in the conference room. These monitors include the necessary mounts, hardware, required
VGA and audio cabling.
The new distribution amplifier after the switcher will also feed the new monitors at the two lobby locations and
the conference room. Because current video system is VGA and the outsourced camera system is composite video,
there is not a good way to get quality video back into the system without adding scalers and switchers. This would
run the cost of the current system to that of a digital system and still suffer from poor quality video. This means
that the lobby/conference room monitor system will only show the sources from the lecterns and clerks computer.
The conference monitor will also have an HDMI feed from the east end of the conference table for local sources.
The monitor sources will be switched with the monitor’s hand held remote control.
The existing Crestron control system will be installed and reprogrammed for the new/different video outputs.
Two button control panels in the lecterns will be wired to the processor in the booth. The Crestron WAP will be
mounted in the dais. Control cabling for the WAP and the docking station will be routed via the Cisco switch at
the rack. The new 80” LCD monitors will be added to the control, as well as the necessary wiring. The lobby and
conference room monitors will be controlled locally with their hand held remote controls.
A SmartBoard with integrated video projector will be added to the west wall of the conference room, and will
have HDMI and USB cables extended to the west end of the conference table for connection to a local OFE com-
puter.

Item # 1
ANALOG RELOCATION & DIGITAL VIDEO UPGRADE
The following details the scope of work and equipment required to relocate the existing analog system and bring it
up to current standards. This includes input support for analog and digital high definition sources and wide screen
aspect ratio formats and display resolutions. This scope also provides integrated high definition camera display,
capture, and streaming functionality. As much current equipment as possible will be relocated and repurposed in
this configuration.
8th Floor
Remove entire existing system from 8th floor. This will require a labor investment of (32) hours (2 men / two days).
2nd Floor
The OFE audio equipment will be reinstalled with a new 16 x 16 digital video matrix switcher, HD camera twisted
pair receivers and necessary interface devices.
All rack equipment will be rewired for new configuration and racks installed in upstairs control room.
Mount 14 new “shotgun” microphones at dais and clerk area with new cabling back to booth. The shotgun micro-
phones will help alleviate the issue of people not speaking directly into the microphones. Mount wall speakers and
cable to booth. Cut in audio media input/output plates and cable to booth. Add new microphone and line level
audio cables in lecterns and extend to booth. Install wireless antenna distribution and extend from booth to coun-
cil chambers. Re-configure the digital signal processor for the room changes, analyze and tune the speaker system.
At the lecterns, the existing PC, document camera, DVD/VCR and VGA laptop fed through the Extron VGA
switcher will remain and its output will be fed into a two input switch that will digitize the VGA and output it in a
digital format. The other input will be a digital HDMI laptop input located at the top of the lecterns. This will allow
digital HDMI, VGA and composite inputs into the system.
Unlike the existing analog system that only allows one source to be shown on all output monitors at once, the 16
x 16 digital matrix switcher will allow any source to be sent to any output group (council/clerks monitors, either
80” LCD monitor, either of the lobby monitors, the conference room monitor and the encoder) separately. For ex-
ample, the council and one lobby monitor could see the laptop input at the lectern, while the other lobby monitor
and the streaming encoder could see the camera feeds from the chamber. Only one source from each lectern can
be viewed at a time, however. This is due to the lectern sources being routed through a format converting switcher
prior to input to the main matrix switcher.
Two new 80” LCD monitors will be added to the back wall of the dais. Two 60” LCD monitors will be added at the
lobby and one 70” LCD in the conference room. These will have individual digital scalers at each with its separate
home runs to the switcher. This will allow any digital video to be scaled to match the monitor correctly. Also, the
scalers carry audio and control to each monitor. Mounts, hardware, cabling and programming are included.
The conference monitor will also have a HDMI feed from the east end of the conference table for local sources.
The monitor sources will be switched with its hand held remote controls.
A digital scaler will be added in front of the streaming OFE Earth Channel box to ensure all video sources are at
the same resolution and look the same.

Item # 1
At the Dais, five, HDMI DA’s will need to be installed feeding the eleven new council and two clerk 21” high-
definition monitors. These monitors will be mounted to the existing lowered stands. The cabling will be run in
Wiremold raceways by AV contractor, as will the grommeted holes for monitor cables and mic mounts in the
counter tops. The dais monitors will be mounted and tested. A 21” monitor will be added at the booth to review
the video from that location.
There will be an HDMI and VGA computer input into the system at the clerk’s desk.
There will be an HDMI and VGA computer input into the system at the mayor’s location.
There will be a computer input card at the booth switcher for a local PC input.
Two HD pan, tilt, zoom cameras will be added with digital video outputs. One will mount in the center of the
room just above the main entrance for a front view of the dais. The other camera will mount stage right behind the
councilmen to pick up the lecterns and gallery shots.
The existing Crestron control system will be installed and reprogrammed for the different video outputs. Two but-
ton control panels in the lecterns will be wired to the processor in the booth. The Crestron WAP will be mounted
in the dais. Control cabling for it and the docking station will be routed via the Cisco switch at the rack. The new
80” LCD dais monitors and the 60” LCD lobby monitors will be added to the control, as well as the necessary wir-
ing. Conference room monitor will be controlled locally with its hand held remote. Programmed into the control
system will be preset locations for the cameras to pan to and the ability to switch between cameras.
A SmartBoard with video projector will be added to the west wall of the conference room. This will have HDMI
and USB cables extended to the west end of the conference tables for connection to a local OFE computer.

Stage Front Presentation Systems forged its own niche in the design-build industry.
Focusing on three areas of expertise, it employs a design-build strategy that eliminates
the need for third-party consultants, allowing Stage Front to work directly with clients to
develop projects from concept to installation. A proactive implementation of a customer
relationship management (CRM) program, transparent business model, strong design
standards, and a focus on specialized markets enable them to collaborate internally and
externally to produce timely, scalable presentation solutions.

SECTION 3: STAGE FRONT DESIGN-BUILD ADVANTAGES
There are three main reasons customers rely on Stage Front for Design-Build Audio-Visual services:
1. We consult with the architect and end-user to ensure the integrated systems are not only
aesthetically part of the design but also not an afterthought from an interiors and infrastructure
perspective. Customers rightfully expect their audio-visual systems to be simple to operate. That
requires control systems that present a common user interface for all audio-visual elements company-wide, mask-
ing the underlying system complexity and ensuring a consistent user experience. Stage Front is adept at delivering
control systems that fully serve their purpose without requiring extensive end-user training or operational expertise.
2. Our design-build approach is geared up for the fast track. In tight construction schedules, it’s not
practical to finalize all design elements before building begins. Stage Front’s design-build method en-
ables us to identify all design parameters relative to budget pre-build, and to complete portions of de-
sign even as portions of build proceed. Unlike the design-bid-build process, having Stage Front serve
as a single design-build provider keeps the project moving more quickly, and more cost-effectively.
3. We combine multiple disciplines into one document set. Stage front isn’t just an audio-visual expert, or a
video conferencing expert. We’re expert at the full spectrum of audio-visual disciplines that are important in
corporate installations, filling gaps that often exist with more narrowly focused providers. With Stage Front,
you don’t need two or three consultants, and won’t incur two or three design fees.
The Boeing Company is known around the world as a leading manufacturer of commercial airplanes. Stage Front has pro-
vided Boeing with turnkey audio-visual and lighting systems design, installation, service and on-site sustaining support
resources at its new state-of-the-art facility in N. Charleston, South Carolina.
Through ongoing collaborative efforts and open communication, Stage Front and Boeing’s design and management teams
were able to build a successful relationship throughout the project, with the intention of meeting the following goals:
• Produce uniform high-quality systems across all installations.
• Complete fast-paced, phased projects on-time and on-budget.
• Provide detailed design documentation and drawings for other trades to ensure proper infrastructure and work
sequencing thus minimizing change orders and cost overruns.
• Ensure optimum systems usage, with continued after-sales training to ensure full familiarity, and with attentive service
to minimize down-time.

Stage Front has been an outstanding audio/visual resource to VOA. The individual teams that
have been assembled for each project have work cohesively, with VOA and our consultants to

ity design, construction, and most importantly, proactive insight, to the VOA team resulting in

To whom it may concern:
I have worked with Stage Front as the general contractor on multiple projects for Gulfstream
Aerospace Corporation in Savannah, Georgia over the years and have always been more than
satisfied with the quality of their work. From the initial design to the implementation and train-
ing, Stage Front has excelled in all aspects of job performance and workmanship.
Stage Front provides excellent document and submittal drawings from the inception to the
completion. They have always been attentive in meeting project schedules and budget require-
ments. Their service and consistent quality have positioned them as a preferred vendor an any
project with AV requirements.
I would recommend them on any design-build project and look forward to a continued relation-
ship with them in the future.
If you need any further information please feel free to contact me.

To whom it may concern:
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Stage Front Presentation Systems. I have known and worked with this company with
the integration of Audio, Visual, and Lighting on design-build projects for the past 14 months.
Stage Front has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and responsiveness. They first started out just doing
a few lecture rooms for us but we found their work of such high quality and their willingness to partner with us on finding new
solutions such as a state of the art Nursing Lab facility, Video Conferencing solutions, and various Medical AV solutions that
we are now using them exclusively for all of our AV needs. In addition to their excellent integration accomplishments, they
have proven their leadership with industry design standards and product development.
I have found them to provide very high quality work as well as being very honest and forthright in their methodologies for
installation, project management, and training. I serve as an Assistant Vice President of Campus Technology for my company
and my experience has been direct and extremely favorable.
Stage Front and their team would be an asset to any organization, and I am happy to give my wholehearted endorsement.
Sincerely,
