Re. Finding of an Emergency
The lighting truss system in the Bayfront Park Amphitheater dates from the
opening of the facility in 1987. On September 22, 2003, the Bayfront Park Management
Trust (Trust) authorized an $8,000 expense to Inter America Stage for drawings of a new
lighting truss system. Those drawings were completed and forwarded to the Trust offices
on February 16, 2004. In as much as the procurement procedure for projects in the past
has taken over one year to complete, and as the replacement of the Iighting truss system
is essential for the health and safety of users of the Bayfront Park Amphitheater, I am by
this memo declaring this project an emergency and entering into an agreement with Inter
America Stage System a firm capable of completing this project. The total cost of the
project is estimated at $59,665.
Staff is herewith directed to affect these repairs as soon as the event calendar
permits. This purchase is deemed an emergency because the immediate procurement of
these services is essential to the safety and convenience of the City and the Trust.
