SCOPE FOR PHASE TWO RENOVATIONS 205.402.8058
Including additional 2024 funding from the State of
Mississippi Thalia Mara Hall • City of Jackson
Phase Two revisions, updated to include fire curtain and rigging inspection and testing for the renovations of Thalia Mara
Hall, is indicated below. The design team developed the needs in concert with the Hall's management, city attorney, and city
administration.
The additional items identified are focused on replacing the stage rigging and the fly. The rigging is, in most parts, original to
the hall's construction. It has become outdated and is in critical need of repairs or replacement. The intent is to allocate the
$1,000,000 appropriated to the City of Jackson for Thalia Mara Hall upgrading in the 2024 legislative session to the rigging
replacement, if deemed necessary during the inspection and testing.
Funding:
The additional 2024 funding from the State of Mississippi provided$1,000,000 for the Hall's renovations. Approximately
$1,950,000 from prior funding cycles remain in the Thalia Mara Hall fund. Receipt of the funds is pending from the State of
Mississippi approval and a modification of the MOU between the State and the City of Jackson.
Major planning items are included below with high level budget projections as per the latest information from the Hall's
management and the initial review of the rigging condition.
The current contract for professional services requires amendment to include the additional scope for the special rigging
evaluation by Schuler Shook. The fixed value contract for this professional service will be$20,500.00. (See attached
proposal to be added as an amendment to the professional contract.)
Additional rigging design costs will be required depending on the results of the Schuler Shook evaluation and testing. The
preliminary budget for this work is$1,000,000.
