SUBJ: - 3 July 4th Fireworks Display Quotes .fig_ 9� 9
II Attached please find quotes from two companies for the 4th of
July fireworks display. A letter from Vitale Fireworks Display
Company is also attached. As you may recall , Vitale was the high
II bidder in 1988 and has elected not to submit a bid in 1989 . A
copy of the bid awarded to Banner Fireworks Display Company in
1988 was included in the correspondance requesting bids for 1989.
II As a result, you will notice the two bids which were received
appear to be very similar. One noticeable difference is the
number of shots per show. Banner quotes 352 whereas Arrowhead
quotes 540 . A simple comparison shows the two bids to be more
I equal , 216 of the shots in the Arrowhead bid are from two 108 shot
finale boxes which retail for under S40 .00 each. A greater
number of small shells are also included in the Arrowhead bid.
I Banner Fireworks Display Company has presented the past five
fireworks displays for Chanhassen. All of them have been of
extremely high quality from the standpoints of safety, pro-
' fessionalisri and level of excitement. They have always shown an
interest in giving us the best show possible by visiting the
display site before the actual shoot.
IIt is staff ' s recommendation to accept the bid from Banner
Fireworks Display Company in the amount of $5 ,000 for the 1989
fireworks display.
IUpdate (March 22 , 1939 ) : The Park and Recreation Department
reviewed this item and felt Banner Fireworks Display Company con-
I tinues to be the best qualified company to produce the Annual 4th
of July fireworks display. Banner has always been very concerned
about the personal safety of the spectators and their staff.
They are very willing to visit the site prior to the show to
Idiscuss necessary preparations . The Park and Recreation Com-
mission unanimously agreed to award Banner Fireworks Display
Company the 1989 contract in the amount of $5 ,000 . 00
IThe fireworks display has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 4,
1989 , at Lake Ann Park as the finale to the three day 4th of July
• Celebration.
