Description

Clay County seeks a contractor to plan and produce Go North KC Sportsfest, a free, family-friendly sports event scheduled for July 9–10, 2027. The scope includes project management; event concept and site planning; production and vendor coordination; staffing and volunteer coordination; safety, accessibility, and contingency planning; marketing coordination; and post-event measurement, reporting, and financial reconciliation. Addenda clarify that the first-year attendance goal is 2,000–3,000 cumulative, the July 9 kickoff is intended to benefit a local first-responder-related charity, and the County's approximate total event budget is $100,000–$150,000. The contractor is expected to manage vendor contracts, and a deposit may be provided. The County or a designated partner may handle sponsorship sales, while respondents should price sponsorship package development, booth management, and fulfillment. The proposal must include a complete scope, staffing plan, production schedule, and itemized budget, including a fixed professional-services fee, event costs, revenue assumptions, and financial controls. The contractor must also provide event-day production leadership and deliver a post-event report and final financial reconciliation. The contract runs from award through one year, with four one-year renewal options; additional similar projects may be assigned as needed.
