RFP 08-078 PRCSA Proposal Due Date: January 8, 2009 IV. SPECIFICATIONS In the pages that follow O Entertainment in conjunction with and on behalf of Christiansen Amusements carnival will present specific details of the products and services our two companies offer that will expand upon the other documents presented in this proposal as well as address the section IV Specifications required by the RFP. Before addressing the RFP Specifications we'd like to first comment on the evaluation criteria for the proposal and our ability to provide and conduct safe, quality and enjoyable carnival events for the City of Santa Ana, the PRCSA, the residents and communities of the City of Santa Ana. Safety is a priority issue for both companies and we worked diligently to consistently maintain our equipment including rides, games, booth frames & canvas, electrical cables & supplies, etc. in the best professional manner possible. Rides are inspected daily before any operation (see Exhibit attached). Our employees are experienced and trained in the safe operation of their individual areas (see the personnel lists of experience attached). Another important safety provision is that all rides are State of California DOSH inspected and certified each year. To further verify our carnival safety, Christiansen Amusements remains as the only recipient amongst all Southern California carnivals of the OABA (Outdoor Amusement Business Association) `Circle of Excellence' award for carnival operation (see Press Release enclosed). Our companies have both been in business over 70 years combined and we've worked together on several annual events for many years. Our mutual philosophies of quality, professionalism and a sound fiscal business approach have enabled us to remain financially stable and viable through the years as two companies that own their products and provide complete turnkey events for customers. The four events selected for 2009 are dates we can accommodate and commit to providing quality events. In addition to the other carnival referrals in the RFP, O Entertainment and Christiansen Amusements have also provided similar event services together for the City of Westminster, the City of Pico Rivera* and the City of Santa Fe Springs* and their Parks & Recreation Departments; plus the Downtown Anaheim Association, Garden Grove Arab American Festival* and North Redondo Beach Business Association SpringFest to list other annual events. Finally we successfully served the City of Santa Ana and its Cinco de Mayo festival for several years and our record with the PRCSA at Jerome Park for the previous few years also reflects our ability and commitment to meet the needs and criteria of this RFP. (Referrals can be provided for the additional events listed. An * indicates a park event.) The final pages of this proposal will address our response to the section IV Specifications. (1)
