MEMORANDUM

TO: Lanaee Hearns

P : FROM: Anibal E. Caussade

SUBJECT: Satellite High Performing Arts Theater Orchestra Lift Repairs - Single-Source Request

The Satellite High Performing Arts Theater was built in 1993 at the same time that the Eau Gallie High and Memtt Island High theaters were completed. Satellite High's theater proximity to the coastal area and high ground water environment makes this theater proned to flooding. During the years this facility has experience several floods. The most recent problem occurred during last August Storm Fay. During this event water migrated into the theater from the north and south doors to the seating area and then to the orchestra pit. In addition to this situation ground water found crevices in the theater foundation to flood the orchestra pit. At this point the motor was under water and the lift mechanism was damaged. Maintenance has replaced the motor but the lift mechanism and controls (Spiralift) can only be serviced by Gala Systems technician. Currently the orchestra pit is "red tagged and cannot be used by the school.

Part of Single-Source Request is to answer several questions, here are my answers. a. To my knowledge Gala Systems is the only vendor that can repair the SpiraliR components. b. To my knowledge Gala Systems is the only vendor that has qualified technicians to work on the SpiraliR System. c. The orchestra pit is an integral function of any performances and productions associated with this facility. The

District Program Coordinator deemed necessary that this facility required and orchestra pit. Thousand of dollars were spent building this feature into this facility.

d. As mentioned in answer a & b, this system can only be servicedlrepaired by Gala Systems. e. The current situation of not having a serviceable liR is a "safety" issue. The District will be compromising the safety

of students and staff if this lift is not repaired. f. I believe I have attached all the required data to demonstrate the orchestra liR needs to be repaired by Gala Systems.

If you have any additional questions, I can be reached at extension 462.

Dear Mr. O'Co~~rol.,

By tlie present letter, Gala Systems, in order to mainlain llie qitality of it's procluct and the unique nature of the Spi~alift, tlie main component of tlie lift, does not certify any other tcclinicians and parts other tlinn their own for any installation, rcpair, or sellice oFtlieir product.

Although local service people might have nieclinnical nnd electrical skills yet the Spilalitl requires specialized technicians, \vhich have l'ollo\\recl spccific training as \\re11 as acquire esperie~ice over the years to install them. This is \vhy, for the above ~neentioned reasons, only Galn technicians are p~csently authorized to install, repair and oiaintain this type 01' equipt~ient.

I hope that tlie above \ \ r i l l help to clarify this ~i~ntter.

BREVARD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL, FL, USA

Dear Mr. Theodore,

Following your recent request, you will find herein our proposal for the replacement of the Spiralift and some other critical components.

We wish to remind you that GALA is uncomfortable to simply replace the Spiralifts without additional changes. As mentioned in previous conversations, the equipment installed to raise your platform is now approximately 14 years old. During the after flood visit, we noticed the extent of the water damage to your lift system. We, as the lift's manufacturer, cannot certify that the equipment we recommended you to replace (drive shafts, motor, gearboxes ...) can safely be re-used. Malfunction of these components could have serious consequences. Before ~roceedina with the work on this ~roDosal. we will reauire a letter from vour oraanizatlon wnfirmina vou are taklna the res~onsibilitv for the reuse of the Items in auestion. Gala cannot be held responsible for any incident related to items you refused to replace.

Text of the budget estimate:

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

GALA Systems original project drawings and specification documents. Site evaluation visit following the flood.

Please note that this offer is based upon the information we have received at the time of this proposal. We would reseffe the right to revise our pmposal shall a change occur in the technical or contractual parameters.
