Shira, Community Relations/Projects Director Subject: Founders' Day Fireworks Display Issue Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the expenditure of$15,000 to Zambelli Fireworks Internationale for the Founders' Day fireworks display? Background City staff has been working with Zambelli Fireworks Internationale to put together a fireworks display for Founders' Day which will be fired from Starke Lake. The display will be fired electronically from eight, 16-foot by 16-foot "floating docks" that will be bolted together to form a single platform. Our Public Works Department is building the individual sections. The design was done by our Engineering Department after consulting with the City of Tavares who has a similar platform for its fireworks. Zambelli does the 4`I' of July fireworks for Tavares and suggested we use the same type of structure. Staff made the decision to work with Zambelli after discussing their work with the City of Tavares and reviewing their references. We also offered Melrose Pyrotechnics (the company we used last year) a chance to submit a proposal to us for a barge show, but they did not respond. Discussion The money for the fireworks has already been allocated in the Community Relations budget. Because the cost of the fireworks is above $10,000, this expenditure requires City Commission approval. Recommendation Staff respectfully requests that the City Commission authorize the expenditure of $15,000 for Founders' Day fireworks. cc: Ellis Shapiro, City Manager Danabeth Zambelli, Zambelli Fireworks Internationale Ron Strosnider, Fire Chief POWrik Protect fleece's Water Reseerccs CITY OF OCOEE REQUISITION TO THE PURCHASING DEPART.

Zambelli Fireworks Internationale \41 " , 7 299 NW 52"d Terrace, Suite 118 V Boca Raton, FL 33487 SUBJECT: OCOEE, FLORIDA FIREWORKS DISPLAY FOR FOUNDERS' DAY, OCTOBER 16, 1999 Dear Ms. Zambelli, Please find enclosed a purchase order for the $15,000 display we have been discussing over the telephone. Also included is a check for $7,500 which represents the 50 percent payment to secure the display date. You will receive the balance due the week prior to the event. Also included with this letter is all the back-up documentation you requested. Please let me know if anything is missing, or if you have any questions. With specific regard to the music, I need to know how music selection is made. Our theme is "Honoring the Past - Imagining the Future". I would like to use some older patriotic songs up front and work up to more modern day songs and finish with something that signifies the new millennium (something from "Star Wars" maybe?). Will your company put together something or do I need to provide the exact music? The other important detail is the fact that we will be doing this show from the water. We are currently constructing the platforms which you will use. We visited the City of Tavares as you suggested and our platforms are very similar to theirs. We have taken into consideration the new regulations with respect to the size of the platform. From our calculations, we will need eight, 16-foot by 16-foot platforms all secured together which will give us 2,048 square feet of area. As we discussed, this meets the regulations for firing an electronic show. Please let us know if you have any questions on the platforms or if you would like to see them before the display date. . The City of Ocoee looks forward to working with you on this exciting event. This will be by far the biggest fireworks display the City has ever planned. Please call me at your earliest convenience so that I will know we have provided you with all the information you need and we are set to go on October 16'. S'ncerely, Janet G.
