Update:
The proposal was handed to my Dept Head awhile ago, who evidently did nothing with it. However, today she brought up wireless intercoms, and told me to (as per usual) "figure it out". So I called
BMI, talked with a sales guy, talked about the
Telex 300: 2
base stations, 8 transceivers, 8 headsets, and confirmed they could "sharpen up the price" (When he said that I really wanted to ask if he was using a
donut or
EDLT .).
So I crunched those numbers last period, handed that in, looking to be about 13,500 to implement such a
system... I told her before I did the research that it was gonna come with a price tag, she said perhaps we could sell the rest of the candy left over from the musical and "make it happen"...
After giving her the numbers she said she was going to run it by the <removed> committee...
this afternoon, our one shot at any extra funding for the next 3-5 years.
Lights or intercom? Personally, I think it's moronic to go for the intercom. We won't get it, the people with the money won't care if she just rolls up randomly, without knowing anything, presenting some figures so that we can more effectively communicate. That's in opposition to a well thought out proposal for lighting with
clear benefits tailored to the audience that will read them.
