DESCRIPTION: General Information about this solicitation:
The Town is soliciting proposals for the hiring of an experienced successful Marketing firm to provide a Marketing Program and support services to the Town's Marina.
As the only public marina on the island of Palm Beach, the Town Marina has been providing berthing for power and sail yachts up to 260' in length since the 1940's. A brilliant new marina is being constructed that works in harmony with the Town's ethos, style, and quality of life. It includes a $34 million renovation and improvements to transform the old Town Docks into a world-class yacht center that will welcome vessels from 60 to 294 feet.
The Town Marina is centrally located and only a short distance away from West Palm Beach, which has a multitude of fine restaurants, bars, and shops. Our island location places you within walking distance of the world-famous Worth Avenue. For those looking to leave their yacht and travel further afield, the marina is closely located to main transport links including I-95 and the Palm Beach International Airport, and railways to Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.
The minimum intent of this "Request for Proposals" is for the selected firm to create brand and message development, compose templates, collateral pieces, and development of a five-year marketing plan and budget.
The contract resulting from this RFP will continue to its completion, approximately one year, and if deemed necessary by the Town, may continue for a period determined by the Town.
Award may be made to the Proposer which offers the best value to the Town. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all offers, to waive non-material irregularities or technicalities and to re-advertise for all or any part of this solicitation as deemed in its best interest. The Town shall be the sole judge of its best interest.
