Centennial Concert Hall Production Communication Systems Renewal

Solicitation number 26-3001

Publication date

Closing date and time 2026/05/29 12:00 EDT


    Description
    The Centennial Concert Hall’s communications systems that support the production of live entertainment are original to the construction of the building. These systems are well past their designed life cycle and behind advancements in technology, and current show productions warrant a need for these systems to be upgraded.
    These communication systems allow for actors and production staff to see and hear real-time audio and video so that they can hit their cues during costume or scene changes. These systems are critical to all shows and productions that take place on the stage.

    This project replaces all existing production communications systems. The new system will include new digital audio for program and paging distributed throughout backstage dressing rooms, hallways, production offices along with front of house areas. The addition of live video to dressing rooms, offices and screens located throughout the front of house will be a drastic improvement. Video will also be used with an infrared camera located on the balcony rail during black-out cues to see when a set change is completed and the next cue is called to continue the show. A wireless production network will be installed which will allow actors, production staff to communicate digitally on a private and secured network. The addition of a wired and wireless “Clear Com” system used by production staff with headphones will allow departments such as audio and lighting to communicate amongst themselves during setup and technical rehearsals, limiting unwanted chatter from other departments, and then join together during showtime.

    The systems, once completed, will be a seamlessly integrated paging and program sound system, updated Wi-Fi network, and a complete video distribution system.
