Both companies returned proposals that were very competitive. After examining both proposals, Melrose had a larger shell count and a bigger finale. In my opinion, the city received a better show from Meh'ose in the past. RES submitted their bid for the established 1998 budget amount of $14,500. RES was aware of our disappointment in last year's show and, in a good faith gesture, discounted this year's show by $1,000. It is staff's opinion that even with RES's $1,000 discount, the Melrose bid was a better value. Melrose Pyrotechnics has been providing firexvorks for many years. This year's show again will be shot electronically, which will add to the safety and the excitement of the show. Melrose is a very respectable company and will provide an excellent show. RECOM51ENDATION It is staffs recommendation that the city approve the proposal provided by Melrose Pyrotechnics in the amount of $14,500. The display xvill be on Saturday, July 4 at 10 p.m. at Lake Ann Park. The cost of the fireworks display is included in Fund 145 of the Recreation Program Budget. g:~,park\j er fy\98 fireworksbid I .doc MELROSE PYROTECHNICS, INC.

The following is our bid for the City of Chanhassen July 4th Fireworks at Lake Ann Park. RES will provide the following for the display as requested. 1) Full electronic fire show 2) All equipment, product and labor 3) $2,000,000.00 in show liability insurance Improvements to program I would suggest the following changes/additions to the show based on your critique and discussions we had concerning last years display. 1) 2) 3) Duration of show - I would suggest the display duration should be in a timeframe of 18 to 20 minutes. This will keep the pace of the show at a high level yet assure the display does not drag. Shell type and variety - increase the amount of domestic manufactured shells to the display and incorporate additional shells with reports (concussion) effect as requested. Incorporate 2nd shoot site area - This would address the limited shoot site now used for the display. Please refer to the map I have enclosed. Adding a second shoot site to the existing shoot site can address many of the spacing issues and other effects not currently used in the display. The current site would be used for the major portion of the display. The second site would be used to add additional effects to enhance the display. This site would a high visibility area to the audience at Lake Ann Park. This site would use a combination of effects such as Exhibition Roman Candle batteries, Aerial 4785 Dakota Street S.E. Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 : Phone: 612.447.7976 ~' Fax: 612.447.0065 Comets, Mines and small caliber aerial shells. The idea of this site is to arrange the effects in what are referred to as "fronts". For example, Exhibition Roman Candles fired from multiple areas in the second shoot site in Criss- Cross and fan patterns. Aerial reports, shells, comets and mines fired "eh masse" forming a wall of effect. Also sequential firing of these effects across the site producing "runs" or movement of effects from the outside edges towards the center of the site producing what is referred to as a "Train Wreck Effect" This area would compliment the display by adding a more dimensional aspect to the show. Example: being able to fire area shells from the original site while candles of a complimenting effect are fired from the second location. I would suggest this second site to be a strip approximately 400' wide and 300' deep. This could be adjusted up or down accordingly. Obviously the larger the better for quantity and type of effects we use. This allows us to place devices along the edge of the wooded area and maintain the needed safety distances to these effects. Product Content Assuming the show is still fired from the same, single location, the type and quantity of shells would be as follows: TYPE QUANTITY 3" Tailed Salutes 3" color shell 4" Color & Effect 5" Color & Effect 6" Color & Effect 8" Color & Effect 10" Color & Effect 22O 108 132 9O 78 36 14 This is a total shell count for opening, main body and finale. Assuming we can utilize both sites as proposed, the show would consist of the following: From Main (Original) site: TYPE QUANTITY 3" Tailed Salutes 192 3" Color Shell 84 4" Color and Effect 5" Color & Effect 6" Color & Effect 8" Color & Effect 10" Color & Effect 132 78 66 24 8 From additional site: 3" Tailed Salutes fired from 6 to 12 positions 24 3" Color & Effect Shells fired from 6 to 12 positions 24 3" Gold Glitter Crossette Comets fired from 6 to 12 positions 12 3" Color & Effect Mines fired from 6 to 12 positions 36 8 shot Exhibition Candles fired from 3 to 6 positions 24 I believe this addresses all of the issues we discussed from last year. As you indicated, you were pleased with our setup and coordination of the show and we would keep this same schedule for this years display. Also as I mentioned, I want you to feel you have received value for your dollar. The above display is for an established budget of $14,500.00 as last year. I mentioned we would be willing to provide something for you this past year to help resolve your disappointment from last years display. Since we have not had the opportunity to work on another project, I would offer you the above display for this year discounted by $1000.00 for a total price of $13,500.00. Please compare our total bid from last year to this year. This would give you the opportunity to realize a savings this year and to give you the option to use this to increase next years show should you desire. Please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions. I look forward to working with you again this year! Best Regards, "Steve A.
