Hamilton City Council has approved spending an undisclosed amount to upgrade over 350 meeting rooms across the City’s facilties
The City is looking to award a long-term contract for the “Design, Supply, Install, Maintain and Support” of “Meeting Room Technologies” for all the City’s facilities.
The goal of the upgrades is to better facilitate remote work arrangements for City staff.
The bid documents require companies to include the pricing to install 75-inch 4K display monitors and 4K video conferencing in each meeting room, and an estimated cost of replacing furniture.
The project will be completed in three phases.
Thus far, 11 companies have shown interest in bidding for the contract, with bids due on Friday, September 27, 2024.
The first two phases will focus on the City’s downtown staff office facilities.
The documents reveal City Council has approved making the City Manager’s new board room on the top floor of City Hall a permanent facility.
This room was intended to be the City’s wedding chapel owing to its panoramic views of Hamilton Harbour and the Escarpment. Instead, weddings will continue to be conducted in a small room on the second floor of City Hall, with views of the back parking lot.
The costs of the upgrades will be added to the 2025 City of Hamilton capital budget.
