Analysis
Bid 17083 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, BidSync, and provided to 14 potential vendors. Bids were received at the office of the Purchasing Manager on April 14, 2017 for a mobile stage for Grand Central Park, to be located in the Grand Lawn. Only one bid was received. This vendor has previously provided a mobile stage to the City of Grand Prairie, and is known throughout the industry as a quality provider of mobile stages for entertainment services. The low bid includes fabrication, set-up accessories, delivery to Grand Prairie and operation training.
This unit will primarily be located at Grand Central for regularly scheduled performances on the Grand Lawn. The stage is similar in size to the unit that is rented for Main Street and can be moved to reduce rental costs for the Main Street event.
The item was presented to the Finance & Government Committee on May 2, 2017 and recommended for City Council approval.
