### Description

The City of Tacoma is seeking proposals to redesign the council chamber control room so one person can operate the Qsys, audio-visual, TV broadcast, Granicus, and Zoom equipment for meeting coverage. The work includes developing the design with TV Tacoma staff through multiple phases and delivering a final design with build plans and labeled line drawings. The redesign should use the available space effectively and be ergonomic. Some new equipment may be needed, but the City intends to use as much existing equipment as possible. The solicitation estimate is $350,000.
