ATTEST: Pamela Wheelock, Chair Destination Medical Center Corporation EXHIBIT A PUBLIC REALM INFRASTRUCTURE MAY 2026 TO: DMC CORPORATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: DMC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Request of the Board Authorize procurement of public realm infrastructure equipment totaling $155,767. Approved Project or Program Baseline • Security Gate System – City, Mayo and DMC Partnership: This system is intended to enhance public safety for large community events in the downtown area. The total system cost is $467,300, funding by a proposed one-third cost share between the city, Mayo Clinic and DMC (approximately $155,767). This shared investment in the Meridian deployable security system would allow the city to support a professional- grade, FEMA-compliant solution for events, ensures secure and well-managed perimeters, and gives organizers and attendees confidence in downtown gatherings. During non-festival times this system can be deployed to assist in construction management traffic control in downtown. • If approved, the funding required for this expenditure would be reallocated from the $500,000 funding previously allocated to Saint Marys Place public realm planning and implementation. Current Status The Meridian GSA quote has been received and reviewed, with pricing secured through a federal contract. Risks to Scope, Budget, Timeline, or Delivery • The Meridian quote could go up in price or availability due to high demand. Upcoming Requests or Decision Points None at this time. DMC Alignment Community Safety: The shared security gate system provides the City with a deployable, professional-grade perimeter management capability for community events, reducing safety risk and enabling more programming with confidence.
