This is a Fee Proposal Form for RFP 25-25-LS issued by the City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, for an annual professional fireworks display service in support of the city's Independence Day Celebration. The solicitation requests proposals from qualified, licensed fireworks display operators to provide an 18-minute fireworks show launched from a moveable floating platform (barge) positioned in the river southeast of Chicken Island. The proposal submission deadline is October 27, 2025, at 5:00 pm, with a questions deadline of October 3, 2025. The initial contract term spans three years (2026–2028) with potential for two optional one-year renewals. The evaluation will be conducted using a 100-point scoring system based on five criteria: experience (25 points), project staff qualifications (25 points), launch platform specifications (15 points), technical proposal (15 points), and fee proposal (20 points).

The Fee Proposal Form requires vendors to submit separate pricing for fireworks and barge services for each contract year (2026, 2027, and 2028), with both numeric totals and written price descriptions required. No specific budget range is stated in the available documentation. The solicitation does not indicate set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with Florida statutes, National Fire Protection Association standards, and obtain all necessary permits from fire, police, local, state, and FAA authorities. Comprehensive insurance coverage and detailed documentation including organizational details, employment eligibility verification, and references from similar projects completed within the previous five years are mandatory. Subcontractor information must be disclosed for any entities representing 5 percent or more of total contract value.
