Sand and Sun Festival Consulting Services

The buyer requires a vendor to provide sand and sun festival consulting services for a one-year contract period. The vendor must assist with event planning, marketing, advertising, social media, and live event implementation. Requested scope includes providing marketing assets, testing sand quality, managing sandbox logistics, supplying biodegradable wind protectant, and creating one welcome sand sculpture featuring City and sponsor logos. Additionally, the vendor must recruit, coordinate, and manage six competing sand sculptors, covering their travel, lodging, and meals, though the proposal amount may be reduced if the City secures sponsorship for room and board. The vendor must handle on-site sand preparation, manage sculptors during the event week, oversee the competition and awards, and supply the judging rubric and scoring criteria. Only onshore USA organizations are eligible to bid. Bidders may perform work onsite or offsite, and they can submit responses digitally via email or online. The buyer is looking for a proposal and has not provided specific evaluation criteria or key dates.
