Description

Cherokee Nation Entertainment (CNE) is seeking a qualified vendor to design, permit, execute, and clean‑up an integrated aerial entertainment package for Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa’s inaugural Fourth‑of‑July celebration. The scope includes a 15‑minute synchronized drone light show followed by a 20‑minute fireworks display, all choreographed to a classic‑rock soundtrack, with full responsibility for FAA drone authorizations, NFPA‑compliant pyrotechnic permits, safety planning, on‑site production logistics, and post‑event reporting. The contract will be awarded shortly after the March 27, 2026 bid deadline, with work expected to be performed through the event on July 1, 2026. • Deliver a complete concept design (drone choreography, fireworks plan, music sync) and obtain all required FAA, ATF/Fire Marshal permits. • Provide licensed drone operators, certified pyrotechnicians, insurance, equipment, and on‑site crew for setup, execution, and teardown. • Ensure compliance with FAA Part 107, NFPA 1123/1126, CNE safety standards, and OSHA regulations. • Submit a detailed cost proposal using the provided pricing template; no budget ceiling is disclosed.

Budget estimate

$150,000 – $500,000

The contract is likely to fall in the mid‑six‑figure range. Costs will include drone hardware (purchase or rental of a fleet of 30‑50 drones), programming and pilot labor, fireworks materials (several thousand pounds of shells), permits, insurance, site logistics, and crew wages. For a high‑visibility Fourth‑of‑July show at a major casino, comparable projects typically run between $150,000 and $500,000, depending on the complexity of the drone choreography, the scale of the pyrotechnics, and any additional audio‑visual integration.
