AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
February 26, 2013
SUBJECT: Taste of Oak Brook Event Planner Contract
FROM: David Niemeyer, Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: $19,800 - Sports Core
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to approve Resolution 2013- TASTE -AG -R -1242, a
resolution approving the waiver of competitive bidding and authorizing the execution of an
agreement by and between the Village of Oak Brook and Ravenswood Event Services to provide
event planning services for the Taste of Oak Brook 2013.
Background/History:
Last year, Ravenswood Event Services was hired as the Village's event planner for the Taste of
Oak Brook. They did a good job and we are seeking to renew them for another year.
The estimated cost of the contract is $19,800. This is slightly higher than last year's contract of
$19,200. They are also seeking to maintain the 20% of the proceeds from sponsorships they
solicit up to $25,000 in sponsorship fees. Renewal sponsorships would be at the 10% level,
which is the same as last year. They would not receive any money from sponsors the Village
solicits.
The Board should approve this contract and should also vote to waive bids
Recommendation:
That the Village Board authorize staff to waive bids and hire Ravenswood Event Services at an
estimated cost of $19,800 plus 20% of all new sponsorships solicited by Ravenswood Event
Services and approve Resolution R -1242 for the 2013 Taste of Oak Brook event.
