The Town of Tyrone, located in Cherokee County, Georgia, is seeking proposals from qualified amusement rental companies to provide comprehensive amusement services for multiple municipal events in 2025 and 2026. The procurement involves supplying and staffing various amusement equipment for three specific events: October 4, 2025 (noon-8:00pm), November 30, 2025 (2:00pm-7:00pm), and October 3, 2026 (noon-8:00pm). Required equipment includes a 90' Super Slide, dual zip line, giant human claw, face painters, balloon twisters, carousel, Ferris wheel, giant Lego set, generators, Merry-Go-Round, inflatable building, and Alpine/Christmas inflatable slide. Proposals must be submitted by 10:00am on March 21, 2025, to Lynda Owens, Recreation Manager. Evaluation criteria will focus on cost reasonableness, safety plan adequacy, and vendor references, with vendors required to demonstrate comprehensive experience in amusement rental services and maintain specific insurance coverage including $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability insurance and $1,000,000 automobile liability insurance.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified amusement rental companies. Vendors must provide detailed submission components, including company background, experience documentation, technical specifications, itemized budget, safety protocols, and three client references. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, vendors will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits, developing safety plans, and managing complete equipment setup and teardown. The comprehensive insurance requirements and detailed evaluation criteria indicate the Town of Tyrone is seeking a professional, experienced vendor capable of delivering high-quality, safe amusement services for community events. The multi-year contract potential and diverse equipment requirements suggest a substantial opportunity for the selected vendor to establish a long-term relationship with the municipality.
