1999 Fireworks Contract, Armual 4th of July Celebration
The City of Chanhassen has been pleased with the fireworks shows provided by
Melrose Pyrotechnics for many years. With the approval of the Park and Recreation
Commission after last years 4th of July evaluation, I contacted Melrose to formulate
a show for July 4. 1999.
Melrose was given our budget amount ors 14,500 and developed a show. Included
in the price of the show are 1,007 shells, $5 million public liability insurance,
experienced display operators that are all covered by workers compensation
insurance.
As you know, Melrose has provided the 4th of July shows in Chanhassen for many
years and ! have a great working relationship with them. I have already had
conversations with Melrose representatives and they are tweaking portions of the
show which will improve the quality. Melrose is very reputable and will provide an
excellent show.
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation that the city approve the contract for Melrose
Pyrotechnics in the amount of $14,500. The display will take place on Sunday,
July 4, 1999, at 10:00 p.m., at Lake Ann Park. The cost of the fireworks display is
included in Fund 145 of the recreation program budget.
