Staff has met on-site with Deveera, Inc. and AMP Media on various occasions to consider options and recommendations in upgrading the technology found in the District’s Main Conference Room, Media Room and District lobby to enable Board/Committee meeting to resume in-person and offer the option of a hybrid meeting. As a result of those meetings, District Staff, Deveera and AMP have agreed upon work which is further described in the Exhibit 5-D (Scope of Work).
