The Town of Vail Commission on Special Events is accepting statements of qualifications for a strategic planning consultant. Qualifications include a proven track record of being nimble, flexible, dedicated and results-oriented. The successful respondent will be contracted to help Vail capitalize on driving overnight visitation, leverage existing assets as well as enhance guests’ experiences in Vail. The work will include attendance at monthly meetings and working collaboratively with the Commission on Special Events, Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council, town staff and other partner firms.
Responses are due by 3 p.m. Nov. 26 and should be submitted to Sybill Navas, Special Events Coordinator, at snavas@vailgov.com. The submittal should include background information including the respondent’s resources, expertise, client list (including any potential conflicts), references and examples of previous work relevant to strategic special event planning in the resort industry. The submittal should also include an overview of the approach to the scope of work outlined in the request for qualifications.
