Mahaffey_Theater_Facility.pdf

This is a facility map document from the Engineering & Capital Improvements Department of the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, depicting the Mahaffey Theater Facility and related properties. The map illustrates the Theater Facility location in relation to the Dali Museum Facility, Al Lang Field, and property lines, with a scale of 1:2800 and directional references to nearby streets including 1st Street, 5th Avenue South, Delmar Terrace, 4th Avenue South, and Bayshore Drive. The document includes a disclaimer noting that the Dali Museum lease permits temporary or permanent modifications to surface parking and parking garage access to accommodate museum expansion, though such changes would not affect the scope of management services for the Mahaffey Theater Facility under the resulting management agreement.

The map was released on December 18, 2025, coinciding with the Request for Proposals for comprehensive management and operation services of the Duke Energy Center for the Arts complex. The Mahaffey Theater is a 2,031-seat performing arts venue with ancillary facilities including a grand ballroom, VIP lounge, and restaurant, supported by 1,106 parking spaces. Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience managing performing arts theaters or public assembly facilities. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for January 6, 2026, with questions due by January 12, 2026, and proposals due February 16, 2026, at 3:00 pm. The initial contract term is five years commencing October 1, 2026, with two potential one-year renewal options. The current operator, Big 3 Entertainment, LLC, manages the facility under an agreement expiring September 30, 2026.
