Title
Centennial Park West Concert Series Stage, Sound and Labor
History
In January 2020, the Board approved item 2020-0037 (attached) awarding a contract to Sound Works Productions to provide stage, sound, labor and lighting services for the Centennial Park West Concert Series. This included a total of three concerts with an estimated cost of $22,500 per event.
The Village subsequently entered into contractual agreements with Sound Works Productions to provide these services in support of the Scott Stapp and Blue Oyster Cult concerts. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Concert Series was postponed and rescheduled for 2021. Sound Works agreed to waive all payments due for the postponement and instead roll the contractual agreement to the 2021 Concert Series.
Staff is requesting the Board to authorize entering into per event contracts with Sound Works Production to provide stage, sound equipment, lights and labor for the June 26, 2021 and August 14, 2021 Centennial Park West Concerts.
Sound Works has successfully produced the Village's Taste of Orland Park and past Centennial Park West concerts. Sound Works possess the expertise, necessary equipment and staff, and has proven to be a high quality vendor capable of successfully producing productions of the magnitude of the Concert Series.
Attached, please find updated 2021 Sound Works Production contracts for:
*Scott Stapp and Filter, June 26, 2021 at a cost of $17,725.00; and
*Blue Oyster Cult, Mark Farner's American Band and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, August 14, 2021 at a cost of $17,825.00.
Financial Impact
There is $103,200 budgeted in account 010-9450-444500 for equipment rental expenses.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve re-entering into per-event contracts with Sound Works Productions to provide stage, lights, labor and sound equipment for the June 26, 2021 and August 14, 2021 Centennial Park West Concert Series after the 2020 Series was postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
