Pre-RFP

The Cemetery Committee agenda lists “2026 Soul Searching” as a discussion and action item, indicating planning for a specific 2026 initiative tied to cemetery facilities. While not described, the title suggests a public program, tour, or educational/history event associated with the cemetery. These types of initiatives frequently require event management, interpretive materials, marketing, volunteers, security, or audio/visual support. Because the item is under discussion for 2026, there is time to shape the structure and vendor involvement before any formal procurement. Vendors that support public events, historical interpretation, tours, printing, signage, lighting/sound, or related services could help the city design an effective program and clarify cost and logistics ahead of final decisions. Initial outreach should focus on understanding the concept and offering scalable support options matching the scope of “Soul Searching.”

“Soul Searching” appears to be an annual or recurring cemetery-related program; details for 2026 are...

The Celebrations Commission agenda shows the Village beginning early planning for a 2028 Village Centennial, including bands, parade, food and beverages, fireworks, and vendors. This indicates the municipality expects to organize a multi-component community celebration with entertainment, concessions, logistics, public safety, and marketing needs. Because this is an early discussion item with no vendors identified, it is still in the planning stage and details such as budgets, scope, and procurement methods are not yet defined. This is relevant for event services, entertainment booking, staging/AV, food vendors, commemorative merchandise, and marketing or sponsorship firms that can help shape the plan and secure spots before formal solicitations or informal selections are made.

L’Bri is mentioned parenthetically as a possible vendor, but no selection or contact is indicated; p...

The City of Lebanon’s America 250 Commission is finalizing plans for July 3–5, 2026 anniversary events downtown and at the airport, including food, water, and merchandise vendor stations and post-event cleanup needs. The June 18, 2026 meeting minutes note coordination with vendors and civic clubs, promotional contests, and a request for sign language interpretation for readings of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as volunteer and logistical support for an airport cleanup on July 5. No specific vendors or contracts are named, and the discussions focus on needs such as interpretation services, event operations support, and potential additional merchandise (America 250 shirts) for sale at July 3–4 events. This creates short-term opportunities for event services providers, ASL interpretation agencies, temporary staffing/volunteer coordination support, and promotional merchandise suppliers who can respond quickly before the holiday period. Sellers should approach the City’s tourism and downtown business contacts with targeted offerings tied to July 3–5 timelines and the America 250 branding needs described in the minutes.

Tourism Director reported small and medium America 250 shirts nearly sold out and questioned reorder...
