Description

The City of Richmond Parks & Recreation Department is seeking live‑music performers (bands or solo acts) to entertain at three distinct 2026 event series: the Fourth of July Celebration, the Millstone Festival, and a weekly “Tasty Tuesday” concert series. Bidders must submit pricing for multiple performance lengths, provide a playlist, photo, and insurance documentation, and agree to indemnify the City. The July 4 and October 3 events will use city‑provided stage and sound equipment, while the weekly Tuesday shows require the band to supply its own sound system. The contract will cover performances from April 1 through September 30, 2026, with a single award deadline of February 5, 2026. • Provide live, family‑friendly music (various genres accepted) for one‑hour to two‑hour slots. • Submit detailed cost proposals for each performance length and event, list equipment capabilities, and meet insurance requirements. • Perform at city venues (Lake Reba Complex, downtown Main Street, Irvine McDowell Park) with specified start times and optional weekly scheduling.

Budget estimate

$20,000 – $70,000

The RFP does not disclose a budget, so the estimate is based on typical market rates for live‑music entertainment. Assuming a rate of $1,000–$2,500 per hour for a professional band, the three one‑off events (average 1.5 hr each) could total $4,500–$11,250. The weekly “Tasty Tuesday” series (≈26 weeks, 1.5–2 hr slots) could add $39,000–$130,000. Hence, a realistic contract value ranges roughly from $20,000 for a modest schedule to $70,000 for a higher‑priced, full‑weekly engagement, with variations driven by band reputation, length of each set, and equipment provisions.
