Resolution 2018-17 - Authorizing an agreement with High Tech Special Effects, Inc. for the 2018 Independence fireworks show at Crockett Park

Background

A request for proposals (RFP) was emailed to four national fireworks vendors for the 2018 Independence Day Celebration to be held at Crockett Park. The RFP notice was also published in the Tennessean. For the first time since 2000, the budget for the 2018 show was increased to $15,000 from $10,000. High-Tech Special Effects from Eads, TN, J&M Displays from Dothan, AL and Pyro Shows, Inc. from LaFollette, TN all submitted proposals. All vendors were informed of the total budget at $15,000.

Upon receipt of the proposals, staff calculated retail prices and shell counts for the top two companies and High Tech delivers more product/value for the money. High Tech Special Effects proposed 1,012 total shells, which was the highest number of shells from the three companies. High Tech also had a 33% increase in shell count from its 2017 show at Crockett Park.

High Tech Special Effects offers the city more product and value for the budget. See attached for more information on sizes and numbers of shells. Please contact the Community Relations Director if you have questions.
