KHP Sponsorship - Campground Pavilion

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the sponsorship of the Campground Pavilion at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground in Fayette County, Lexington-Fayette Urban County, Kentucky. The Kentucky Horse Park, an agency of the Commonwealth of Kentucky within the Tourism Arts & Heritage Cabinet, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from individuals or companies interested in sponsoring the Campground Pavilion, which attracts over 43,000 camping nights annually and provides exposure to a diverse audience including equestrians. The sponsorship benefits include marketing, exhibiting, promotions, and access to the venue/facility. Respondents must provide a proposed sponsorship fee, either in cash ($25,000 per year) or cash plus in-kind products ($20,000 cash plus $5,000 in-kind), and the proposed term of the agreement, with a minimum of 2 years and up to two 2-year renewal periods. The Kentucky Horse Park will evaluate all responsive proposals based on criteria including the financial structure of the proposal, the term of the proposal, and the financial stability of the respondent. The successful respondent will be responsible for providing the agreed-upon sponsorship fee and must comply with applicable state laws and regulations.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP states that the Kentucky Horse Park reserves the right to cancel or reject any responses that are not in the best interest of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, but it does not provide a specific award value or budget range.
