About this opportunity

The City of Aspen, located in Pitkin County, Colorado, is seeking a graphic design consultant for the Wheeler Opera House through a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 2025/2026 season. The procurement focuses on developing a cohesive brand concept and template package that will support holiday programming and the Aspen Laugh Festival, with the primary objective of creating a visual design system that reflects the Wheeler's identity as welcoming, refined, and vibrant. Deliverables will include adaptable templates for print and digital advertising, on-site signage, and collateral materials that can be executed by the in-house marketing team. The proposal evaluation will be comprehensive, with criteria weighted as follows: firm experience (25%), public awareness (25%), team experience (15%), project understanding (15%), reference responses (10%), and costs (10%). Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on August 8th, 2025, and must be submitted electronically through the Bidnet Direct website. The RFP emphasizes a preference for locally based firms with knowledge of the Roaring Fork Valley market and highlights that this is not a full rebranding effort, but a strategic collaboration to enhance marketing consistency and efficiency.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City has indicated an anticipated budget range of $35,000-$40,000 for concept development for the remainder of the calendar year, with potential for cost reduction. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the document suggests the selected agency will work closely with the Wheeler Opera House's in-house marketing team. Optional special projects may be considered, with additional work to be pre-approved and billed at a mutually agreed upon hourly rate. The style guide provided with the RFP offers detailed branding specifications, including precise logo usage guidelines, color palette (featuring Cool Gray 11C, PMS 644 C, and PMS 186 C), and typography requirements (with Aqua Grotesque as the logo typeface and complementary fonts like Gotham, Acumin Pro Condensed, and Helvetica). Successful contractors will need to demonstrate an ability to create flexible design assets that can be easily updated by the Wheeler's internal team while maintaining brand integrity.
