Production and Event Services for City Dance Summer Series

The City of Chicago is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive production and event services for the City Dance Summer Series. The agency needs to resolve the logistical and programming challenges of hosting a recurring public outdoor dance event by securing instructors, musical talent, and technical production. The project covers hiring dance instructors to conduct four different social dances, with each event featuring one hour of group instruction followed by one hour of personalized, informal training. The selected vendor must hire bands, musicians, and disc jockeys to match the specific genre of dance instruction for three of the social dances. The scope of work also requires the vendor to provide all necessary sound and light services for the events. The agency has scheduled the live music performances to begin at 7:00 pm nightly and conclude at 9:00 pm on every third Thursday night. Bidders must be organizations based onshore within the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The performance of all contracted work must take place onsite at the designated event location. The agency is establishing a contract period that will run for one year. The agency is accepting response submissions digitally via email or through their online portal. The evaluation of proposals will proceed based on the submissions received, as the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and selection. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or specific key dates for the submission deadline.
