The City of Miami Beach (the “City”) seeks proposals from qualified firms interested in assisting the City to conceive, develop and implement a programmatic strategies, activations and events throughout the City. Miami Beach is a world-class city, with unparalleled cultural and artistic offerings.  The City would like to expand on those offerings, by partnering with a firm(s) who can bring original ideas and programming vision to drive tourism and hotel room nights, reduce traffic impact, increase resident quality of life and enhance the Miami Beach brand.

The purpose of this solicitation is to create a pool of prequalified cultural programming and event producers for future engagements. When the City determines that a producer of cultural programming or special events is necessary, the City seek proposals from the prequalified firms that are in good standing on current or past projects. The City will select the firm that it deems to be in the best interest of the City for the specific project requirements. The City will negotiate standing agreements with each prequalified firm. Each engagement will require an approved task order prior to commencement. The proposed methodology will streamline the selection of cultural programming and event producers.
