This is a Request for Qualifications Tabulation Sheet filed by Brevard County Purchasing Services on behalf of the County's Parks and Recreation Department in Florida. The solicitation seeks a qualified management company to operate the Veterans Memorial Park Amphitheater, a modern venue featuring a 2,100-square-foot stage, capacity for 4,850 attendees, and 300 parking spaces. The selected vendor will be responsible for comprehensive venue management including event booking, production management, marketing, staff logistics, food and beverage services, and overall facility operations. Proposals were due on July 25, 2025, with an RFQ opening date of August 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. The contract term is established for ten years with an option to renew for an additional ten-year period, with anticipated facility completion by January 2026. The tabulation sheet indicates that one respondent, Brevard Production, Inc. of Merritt Island, Florida, submitted a qualification, though detailed evaluation and recommended award information will be released at a later date.

Evaluation criteria are weighted across four categories: Organizational Capacity and Experience (35 points), Method of Approach (25 points), Communication and Reporting (20 points), and References (20 points). No specific contract award value is disclosed in the documentation. The county expects the selected management company to generate annual profit and create positive economic impact through tourism promotion. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the RFQ. The facility represents a new development rather than an incumbent contract renewal, with site infrastructure including 151 parking spaces, a bandshell, sidewalks, and utility installations such as gravity sewer, water service, and fire lines. Proposers were required to submit three hard copies and one electronic copy of their qualifications demonstrating expertise in venue management, community collaboration, and innovative event programming.
