Stern Community Theatre Theatrical and House Lighting System Replacement

This project involves upgrading the stage/house lighting and electrical systems at Palo Alto’s Lucie Stern Community Theatre, which features a 369-seat auditorium, lighting control system and sound effects system. The venue primarily hosts stage performances, and occasional corporate or cultural presentations, film screenings, lectures, and other presentations. The City of Palo Alto (“City”) is utilizing the Design-Build project delivery method for the Lucie Stern Community Theatre Theatrical and House Lighting System Replacement Project (“Project”). This Request for Proposals (RFP) invites qualified Design-Build Entities (DBEs) to submit proposals to design and construct the Project in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Both innovation and cost will be highly prioritized during the selection process. The City seeks to implement a collaborative approach that integrates people, systems, and best practices to maximize efficiency, optimize results, and deliver the highest value to the community. The selected DBE will be responsible for all aspects of the Project, including design, engineering, permitting, construction, and compliance with relevant regulations. The contractor will be responsible for the procurement of all materials as well as the submission of applications for any required City paid permits.
