A RESOLUTION OF THE MARGATE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN PAINTSCAPING, INC., AND THE MARGATE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR A 3D PROJECTION MAPPING HOLIDAY SHOW.
Body
BACKGROUND: At the August 23rd meeting, Nick Cucunato, Public Works Superintendent presented a proposal from Paintscaping, Inc. for a 3D Mapping animated holiday projection show for the December 16, 2016 Winterfest event.

In addition to the cost for creation and production of the show, Paintscaping, Inc., is requesting the MCRA to provide a backup projector and room accommodations for one of its employees. The backup projector is recommended in the event there are technical problems with the one provided. The projector is very specialized and would have to be rented from another facility, most likely one located in Orlando. The additional cost for the projector rental and the hotel is not anticipated to exceed $2,600, making the total cost of the production approximately $37,600. Staff conducted reference checks and viewed productions done for other venues by Paintscaping. The comments from other customers were overwhelmingly positive.
