Contract Control Number: TECHS-201844521-00
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): CMC QALICB, LLC
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Denver Marketing & Media Services (DMMS) is leading a partnership effort with Rocky Mountain Public Media (RMPM) to build a Community Media Center at the nonprofit’s new Buell Arapahoe Square facility located at 2201 Arapahoe St., Denver, CO 80205. The Community Media Center will create a permanent home for community media and ensure that the city doesn’t have to rely on a community or public access vendor to own and maintain a facility for this purpose, resulting in a more sustainable model for accessible media as consumer habits change with advances in technology. The Community Media Center, and a partnership with RMPM, will also provide increased programming reach with state-wide distribution channels, state-of-the-art multimedia studios and equipment, an opportunity to create a workforce pipeline in the media arts and leverage PEG funds as more and more cable subscribers “cut the cord” and move to over the “Over the Top” streaming services (such as Hulu, Youtube, Netflix, etc.).
DMMS is working with the CAO and BMO to finalize a deal structure applying $1.9 million in PEG funds to RMPM through the CMC QALICB, LLC. In exchange, the city will enter into a lease-to-own agreement on a 5,375-square-foot Community Media Center within the larger RMPM facility, which the city intends to purchase after seven years. The city-owned footprint will be condominiumized and can be sold or leased as the city deems appropriate. This deal leverages and expands upon the commitment the city has already made to the RMPM facility through an OED loan and a Community Development Block Grant (CBDG), bringing to life the original community and workforce-focused intent behind the city’s support.
The design of the new City leased to own Community Media Center will include a studio, editing, and digital and programmatic education spaces for shared use between the Public, Education, and Government (PEG) access group of providers, and RMPM.
