About this file
This is an addendum to Request for Proposal 23782222377 issued by the City of Portland, Oregon, for a venue operator to manage and operate Portland'5 Centers for the Arts, comprising five downtown performing arts venues: Keller Auditorium, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Newmark Theatre, Dolores Winningstad Theatre, and Brunish Theatre. The City seeks a single operator to assume full management and operating responsibilities effective July 1, 2027, when the current operator, Metro (regional government), ceases management. Proposals are due October 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. A virtual pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with optional on-site venue tours available September 22, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time (RSVP required by September 21 at 5:00 p.m.). Questions must be submitted by October 1, 2026. The contract term is five years with an option to renegotiate and renew for an additional five years, with Keller Auditorium management guaranteed through the initial five-year term.
Proposers must demonstrate substantial experience simultaneously managing comparable performing arts venues, proven ability to collaborate with municipal and governmental entities, and positive working relationships with labor organizations, supported by three client references from similar projects within the past five years. The operator assumes employment of all 58 full-time and 440 part-time staff represented by four unions across six locals at existing terms and conditions. Portland'5 operates under a rental model with an annual operating budget of approximately $25 million, generating revenue from services (83%), City and governmental funding (13%), and miscellaneous sources (4%). The operator must maintain existing booking policies, rental rates in Year 1, existing calendar commitments, Portland'5 Presents obligations, and the Broadway Across America agreement through the 2032-2033 season. A portion of ticketing facility fees will be directed to the City's capital reserve fund. Financial proposals must include management fee structure, potential revenue share to the City, capital contribution willingness, and five-year projections with supporting assumptions. The operator bears all transition planning and implementation costs prior to July 1, 2027. Evaluation occurs in two phases: Phase 1 written scoring (100 points) and Phase 2 interviews (100 points) for shortlisted proposers. Proposals are limited to 50 pages with supporting documents excluded from the page count and must be submitted through the City of Portland Online Procurement Center.
