Explanation
This ordinance is to authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into contract with the PMM Agency for professional event planning services related to the Applications for Purpose, Pride and Success Programs' 2017 Cap City Nights Festivals.
Background: In 2012, Columbus Recreation and Parks Department's Applications for Purpose, Pride and Success (APPS) program launched a pilot initiative called the Cap City Nights festival as an expansion of the APPS comprehensive violence reduction strategy. Cap City Nights (CCN) festival is an anti-violence initiative that targets the parks in neighborhoods that have high propensity for youth-involved violence. CCN festivals are held during the summer months with the purpose of empowering the targeted communities with focused outreach, live entertainment, active games, educational activities, and workshops for the entire family cycle. The CCN festival summer schedule was expanded in 2013 from four festivals to twelve festivals. This expansion warranted the necessity to hire an event planner. PMM Agency submitted a competitive bid and was selected to provide the professional and fiscal services which include the procurement of the local entertainment/talent, catering, tents/tables/chairs, stage and sound, lighting, generators, movie licenses/screen, photographer, and various other supplies as needed. The PMM Agency shall provide event planning services to assist in the coordination and execution of at least seven (7) Cap City Nights festivals during the summer of 2017.
