Christmas Tree Lighting Drone Show Services

The City of Mobile seeks a qualified vendor to design, produce, and operate a custom holiday‑themed drone light show for its annual Christmas Tree lighting event. The vendor must handle creative development, FAA authorizations, on‑site staffing, safety planning, insurance, and post‑event wrap‑up. The performance is a single nighttime show of roughly 10‑20 minutes, requiring coordination with city officials, crowd‑control considerations, and adherence to strict safety and regulatory standards. • Design and deliver a 10‑20 minute holiday drone choreography synchronized to music, approved by the City. • Provide all pilots, visual observers, safety personnel, and equipment; obtain all necessary FAA waivers for night‑time operation. • Develop site‑specific safety zones, weather go/no‑go protocols, and insurance coverage of at least $1 M per occurrence/$2 M aggregate. • Manage load‑in, load‑out, and site restoration on the event date, and supply preview renderings for City review. • Submit a complete PDF proposal by the March 16, 2026 deadline, including qualifications, drone count, safety plan, and references.
