Library of Congress - Pickford Theater Audio and Visual Upgrades 030ADV25R0046
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 26, 2025Contractor will remove existing audiovisual equipment and supply, deliver, and install upgraded AV equipment and presentation lecterns for the Mary Pickford Theater, while preserving the theater’s architectural integrity and not altering its physical design or the two 35mm film projection capabilities. The upgrade aims to modernize visual, audio, and infrastructure in the theater and its control booth, which also supports lectures and hybrid meetings; current components are inoperable or need replacement. Reuse of current wall and ceiling penetrations and cable paths is preferred, and the contractor must identify any new surface mounting-point needs and obtain approval from the Architect of the Capitol and SUPD. The project requires compatibility with the L. Quincy Mumford Room’s existing Q-SYS control system, and the Library will not accept Crestron or AMX automation systems.
Amendment 0001 updates the Statement of Work based on questions received, revises attachments J-2 and J-4, adds J-6 (Additional Photos) and J-7 (Questions and Answers), extends the proposal due date, and revises Sections C and J; all other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
