Contract for the 2017 Fourth of July Fireworks Display.

To approve the award of the 2017 City 4" of July Fireworks Celebration contract
to the low qualified bidder, Atlas PyroVison Entertainment Group of Jaffrey,
N.H., in an amount not to exceed $15,500. Funding will be through Department:
177 Park and Recreation; Fund: General; Account Classification: 55 Other
Services.

2016 Bid comparison, shell count and display information

Under IFB0410-010816 the City solicited bids for the 4" of July fireworks
display. Bids requested were to include pricing for years 2016 through 2019.

Bids were received from three vendors (See attached bid comparison). Atlas
PyroVision Entertainment Group was the apparent low bidder.

The aggressive pricing that was proposed shows the firms strong desire to work
with the City and produce our display. References were checked from other
communities that have used and are currently using Atlas for their fireworks
displays. All of the references had very positive feedback regarding Atlas’ shows.
This year the price of the show was discounted to reflect the firm’s commitment
to the City. The City is not obligated in any way to continue using Atlas in the
upcoming years if the show proves to be unsatisfactory.

Park & Recreation Department staff reviewed with Atlas the expectations of the
City with regard to the length and quality of the display and they are comfortable
Atlas understands these expectations. Additionally, Atlas has a local business in
Nashua.

Based on review of the performance of Atlas in 2016 it is the recommendation of
the Park & Recreation Department to award the 2017 display to Atlas Pyro Vision
Entertainment Group, Inc. of Jaffrey, NH for the amount not to exceed
$15,500.
