Holiday Decorations for Mt. America Expo Center

SMG, managing the Mountain America Exposition Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, is seeking proposals for comprehensive holiday decorations services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on August 1, 2019. The procurement focuses on detailed holiday decor installation, including ceiling decor, stage decor, entry display, and vinyl draping. Specific deliverables include installing 3,500 square yards of carpeting and 840 linear feet of vinyl draping in white and black colors. Contractors must ensure all decorative materials are fire retardant and complete installation within a strict two-day (48-hour) window during mutually agreed business hours. The RFP requires two proposal copies submitted by September 1, 2019, with a proposed contract base period of three years. Evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess bidders' qualifications, proven expertise, industry experience, marketing support, management quality, customer service philosophy, and financial considerations. The contact for all questions is Rick Medina, reachable at 385-468-2283.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will have complimentary access to facility lifts and must complete installation and dismantling within prescribed timeframes, with dismantling not exceeding one week from the established commencement date. SMG retains full discretion to accept or reject any or all bids, maintaining flexibility in the selection process. While no specific budget range is detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the decorative services suggests a potentially significant contract value. The three-year contract period indicates the potential for a substantial and ongoing engagement. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with the proposed holiday decoration services.
