AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Fireworks Display for July 4, 1.991
MEETING DATE: February 6, 1991
4
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve expenditure of funds to purchase
a fireworks show for the Fourth of July 1991 based on attached
request for proposals.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the last two years, we have used Zambelli Internationale
Fireworks Manufacturing Co., Inc. in presenting our Fourth
of July celebration and fireworks show. This year we have
asked for a request for proposals from both Zambelli and
Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. These proposals have been received and evaluated.
Attached is a copy of what the number of shells each provider will fire for us
(Exhibit A). You will note that Zambelli offers many more of the larger shells.
Because of this, we are getting a comparable number of shells with a much better
show from Zambelli. The large shells go higher and explode much wider than the
smaller shells. Pyrc Spectaculars is able to compete in the number of shells only
by including 100 - 2-1/2" shells which would be a low bursting shell but could only
be seen by viewers that are actually at the Lake.
It is for this reason that I am recommending we go again with Zambelli and ask that
you approve purchasing the Zambelli show. These two companies are the only ones
that we are aware of that provide these kinds of shows in our area. Therefore,
these are the ones that were contacted.
FUNDING: The program is bid at $8,000.00. Deposit of $800.00 to be paid at
this time. Account No. 10.0-702.03-352.
