The City of Southfield, Michigan, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive audio and lighting services for its scheduled concerts and events. The agency requires a partner to manage the efficient setup, dismantling, and packing of all technical equipment while ensuring sufficient qualified staff are onsite for proper operations. To prevent technical failures, the selected provider must handle power distribution planning to avoid overloads and supply backup generators for outdoor venues.
