This could encompass a wide range of activities, such as needs assessment, technology selection, system design, implementation oversight, and potentially training or troubleshooting for audiovisual systems used by the city.

The negotiated contract approach suggests that the city may have specific requirements or existing relationships that influence their procurement choice.
