The proposal submission deadline is December 19, 2025, with clarification requests due by December 18, 2025, and all inquiries to be directed to project manager Lorren Mitchell.

The contract opportunity does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total budget for all fireworks shows is capped at $28,500.00 annually, with the contract term initially set for one year and potential renewal for two additional one-year periods. Vendors must provide proof of minimum liability insurance of $3,000,000 per occurrence with a $5,000,000 general policy aggregate, with Herriman City named as an additional insured. Submission requirements include a comprehensive package of documents such as a cover letter, company profile, business formation documentation, legal authority to conduct business in Utah, insurance proof, performance history, and at least two professional references. The city reserves substantial discretion in the procurement process, including the right to reject any or all proposals, negotiate contract terms, or select alternative proposers if initial contract negotiations are unsuccessful.
