  • Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation

    Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation

    Vermont State Capitol AV Systems Renovation CONCEPTUAL ASSESSMENT AND NARRATIVE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Funding was appropriated in FY 2019 to the Sergeant at Arms to contract with a third party to conduct an assessment of the sound system in the State House and 1 Baldwin Street pursuant to 2 V.S.A.§ 62(a)(8). This document constitutes that assessment, and presents a summary of findings and recommendations for renovations of the Audio/Visual (AV) systems at the Vermont State Capitol. The design concepts and recommendations described in this document are based on a needs analysis performed by K2 during a site visit completed on September 27, 2018, and the conversations held at that time with stakeholders for the State. It is intended that this report be used for review of the conceptual design and cost estimates, and to guide the future development of detailed AV designs and the subsequent installation of the AV systems. Background Most of the audio and video systems currently in place at the Vermont State Capitol have reached the end of their expected lifespan or will be at that point soon. Many have been modified and upgraded over the years with incremental changes that provided the functionality needed by the State at the time of the upgrade. This has resulted in many systems that are not cohesive and are difficult to troubleshoot. There is serious concern about the health of critical systems including microphones and sound reinforcement systems at both Chambers. Because of their age and custom nature, it is difficult or impossible to find replacement parts for many of the existing systems.
