Description
The City of Hampton is seeking proposals from qualified offerors to bring new placemaking projects and events to the city or to significantly augment existing placemaking events and projects held in the city. The Love Your City Awards program is aimed at encouraging fresh, new ideas or significant enhancements to existing events or projects. Proposals may include a wide range of activities of value to the city that are built on the strengths of the community, inclusive of a broad range of audiences, and that further the strategic priorities of the city.
• The city is looking for proposals that clearly activate a specific place in Hampton, create a strong public-facing experience, and reflect Hampton's identity, culture, history, natural resources, or visitor experience.
• Proposals should demonstrate the ability to successfully fund the event or project and propose a minimum 50% match of the offeror's own sources and funds, in addition to the city's requested funds.
• The city reserves the right to accept or reject any and all proposals in whole or in part and waives any informality in the competitive negotiation process.
• The city is committed to diversity and inclusion and encourages proposals from minority and woman-owned businesses.
