DESCRIPTION

The agency seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive holiday event tree, lighting, and decoration services for an annual outdoor tree lighting event and seasonal display in California. The scope includes supplying one artificial frame conifer-type tree, ranging from approximately 24 to 40 feet in height, engineered for outdoor use. The tree must feature integrated lighting, a pre-lit star or similar topper, ornaments (with final color and theme determined by the agency), anchoring/support components, and all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for safe installation, maintenance, and removal.

Additionally, the project calls for the provision of four to eight lighted display units, each measuring between six and twelve feet in height or width, designed for outdoor seasonal display. Each display proposal should be accompanied by a photo or rendering, descriptive details, dimensions, power and installation requirements, and an itemized cost breakdown. Interested vendors must submit all questions by June 30, 2026, and may attend a non-mandatory pre-proposal job walk on June 23, 2026.
