Got a gun and a car? The Barclays Center wants you!
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Gersh Kuntzman
This just in from the company that will run the Barclays Center: The 19,000-seat arena is getting so close to hosting events that it is reaching out to subcontractors to actually do the work — including protecting celebrities as they come to the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues.
AEG Worldwide has posted on its Web site that it needs local firms to provide manpower and equipment in several key arena areas, including heavy equipment and handling, facilities presentation and production room operations, landscaping and snow removal services, structural engineering and rigging, sound and lighting, electrical contracting and, this is our favorite, “armed car service.”
Interested bidders must apply by June 8.
