EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to accept the Exposhows Inc. proposal to
provide a July 4th Fireworks Show at Sugden Park on July 4, 2022. This proposal will resolve the
dispute created by Exposhows Inc.'s failure to perform their contractual commitment to provide a
show in accordance with the scope of work awarded in 2021.
OBJECTIVE: To resolve the contractual dispute created by Exposhows Inc. failing to provide a
fireworks show on July 4, 2021, in accordance with the approved/accepted scope of work. Accept the
Exposhows Inc. July 4, 2022 proposal to provide a show at no cost.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 21, 2021, Exposhows Inc. was awarded Purchase Order #4500211033 in
the amount of $23,980. Exposhows Inc. provided the lowest-priced responsive proposal. As part of their
proposal, Exposhows Inc. agreed to a detailed scope of work as set by the Parks and Recreation Division.
The scope of work established deliverables required to perform a July 4th Fireworks Show at Sugden
Park. The showtime was set for 9:00 p.m. in the scope of work and all supporting staffing and events
were arranged to support that showtime.
Exposhows Inc. staff at Sugden Park failed to launch the fireworks until after 11:00 p.m.; when the
majority of the public had departed the venue. The failure to provide services as directed in the scope of
work was due to the failure of Exposhows Inc. to provide sufficiently qualified staff and supervision.
Public Services Department and Parks and Recreation Division leadership promptly communicated the
public’s frustrations to Exposhows Inc. management.
Exposhows Inc.'s management quickly accepted responsibility for failing to meet expectations and abide
by the scope of work. They declaratively stated that their work that night was a “fiasco” and was not
indicative of their values and reputation as a company. To resolve the dispute Exposhows Inc. waived all
charges for the 2021 fireworks show and offered to provide a 2022 fireworks show at no cost. Exposhows
Inc. has submitted a July 4th, 2022 proposal for county consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: Accepting the Exposhows Inc., proposal for July 4, 2022, will save the Parks and
Recreation Division approximately $24,000.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality and requires a majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to accept Exposhows Inc.'s proposal to
provide a July 4th Fireworks Show at Sugden Park on July 4, 2022. This proposal when accepted and
executed by Exposhows Inc. will effectively resolve the dispute created by Exposhows Inc.'s failure to
perform their contractual commitment to provide a show in accordance with the scope of work awarded in
2021.
