While this document <br />is modular, the system is not. Removing one of the budget figures will have drastic <br />effects on the total system design as all ofthese components work together schematically <br />for a complete and operational system, <br /> <br />Value engineering can be accomplished using this document as a general guide for the <br />cost of each major component However, eliminating any component within this <br />document will require additional design work for a complete and operational system. <br /> <br />Electronic Interiors has suggested that the quality of the equipment purchased not be <br />compromised. It is reconunended that the City purchase less equipment (eliminating <br />features) rather than sacrificing quality in order to obtain more features. <br /> <br />Project History <br /> <br />Electronic Interiors began this project with input from the Council Subcommittee and <br />Brian Fritsinger. The "Electronic Media Technology Upgrade Recommendations and <br />Planning Report" dated November 12, 1998 was created from this information. This <br />report was based on several meetings and a tour of other facilities in the metro area. The <br />report included a Preliminary Budget Estimate section where the estimated budget was <br />broken into several system sections totaling $234,550. . <br /> <br />This estimate Was higher than the City would like to pursue and without negotiating <br />system performance (luxury items only), Electronic Interiors has revised the system that <br />the budget estimate is based on to approximately $180,00. This was accomplished by <br />designing the system to define all of the individual components that are needed, After <br />this effort, the City had a new direction to budget between $90,000 and $120,000. <br />Cutting system performance quality, and user-friendly items produced a new design of <br />$119,00, withol,1.t Cl,1.tting features desired in the original design. Dickson Stewart <br />presented to the Council the document explaining the budgef cuts and the reduction of the <br />system, <br /> <br />Electronic Interiors has now been requested to revise the budget and design by adding <br />components to the previous budget of $119,000 to obtain the new budget goal of <br />$175,000. The following is an assemblage of the sub-system costs, with brief <br />explanations of each system. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Electronic Interiors, Inc <br /> <br />1 <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />S~O[~jlN[ O]NO~10jlj <br /> <br />May 9,1999 <br /> <br />ZI/2 'd 998t'oN <br /> <br />Ndst:t OOOZ 'S '!eN <br />
