Fireworks Display

King George County, Virginia is seeking proposals for a pyrotechnic fireworks display not to exceed $25,000 to be held on Saturday, July 6, 2024, with a rain date of July 7, 2024. The selected vendor must be licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and provide an itemized list of the proposed fireworks. The display must be 20-25 minutes in duration and electronically fired. Proposals will be evaluated based on qualifications, experience, creativity, safety, and references to determine the best value. Proposals are due by February 26, 2024 at 2:00 PM local time and must be submitted in four (4) hard copies, with one marked "Original." The county reserves the right to reschedule the event within 60 calendar days due to inclement weather or other conditions and may assess liquidated damages for failure to perform.

The previous year's fireworks display contract was awarded to American Fireworks, but the county has not provided details on the pricing or value of that contract. The procurement documents do not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The county has not shared information on the incumbent vendor's performance or the budget range for this year's display.
