About this opportunity
The City of Dalton Parks and Recreation Department is seeking a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a professional fireworks display for the July 4th, 2025 celebration, to be held at the North Georgia AG Fairgrounds. The procurement requires a licensed and permitted supplier to provide a comprehensive fireworks show that meets strict technical specifications, including a minimum 20-minute aerial display using shells ranging from 3 to 6 inches in size, with the show beginning at approximately 9:30 pm. Proposing vendors must submit a detailed proposal that includes a copy of their current license and permit, proof of a minimum $1,000,000 liability insurance policy, and at least three references from similar past performances. The evaluation criteria are comprehensive, with 40 points allocated to cost of services, 30 points for show content and creativity, 20 points for the vendor's responsibility and qualifications, and 10 points for overall responsiveness to the RFP requirements. Key dates for this procurement include the RFP publication on November 11, 2024, with proposals due by December 11, 2024 at 2:00 PM, and the project award scheduled for December 16, 2024.
Vendors must be currently listed on the City of Dalton Vendor list to be eligible to submit a proposal, which serves as a pre-qualification requirement. The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises. Proposing vendors are required to conduct five test shots at the show location to help evaluate sight lines for spectators, which adds an additional technical evaluation component. The total budget for this fireworks display is capped at $35,000, providing a clear financial boundary for potential contractors. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Vendors must submit their sealed proposals directly to the City of Dalton Finance Department at 300 W. Waugh Street, Dalton, GA 30720, with the envelope clearly marked "Dalton Parks- Fireworks RFP" to ensure proper handling and classification.
