B -- DESIGN OF INTEGRATED AUDIO AND VIDEO SYSTEMS FOR THE COOLIDGE AND WHITTAL PAVILION AND RECORDING LABORATORY. SOL RFP95-36 DUE 081895 POC Kaye Klinker, Contracting Officer, (202) 707-8608. The Library requires the services of audio and video system design engineers to design an integrated audio and video system which will electronically amplify, record, transmit and edit the performances from the Library's Coolidge Auditorium. The design must also incorporate the capability to record, edit, monitor, transmit and playback audio and video in the Library's Recording Lab and provide both audio and video feeds to overflow audiences in the Library's Whittal Pavilion. The contractor will be required to develop a comprehensive design to include functional equipment specifications and system operation block diagrams that may be used in a future solicitation to purchase the system. The design contractor will not be allowed to participate in the acquisition of the system, but will be retained to serve as a technical coordinator throughout the implementation stage. The first performances in the Coolidge Auditorium are scheduled to begin in October 1997. Time is of the essence to provide for the facility design and system acquisition in order to meet this critical deadline. Firms or individuals with expertise in audio and video engineering may request a copy of RFP95-36. (0181)
