Be The Light Decor | RFP 26-04-01 — Citywide Holiday Lighting & Decorating Services Page 8 of 55 2. Qualifications This section responds to Section 5.2 of the RFP and demonstrates how Be The Light Decor meets and exceeds the Minimum Qualification Requirements (MQRs) in Section 2.4. 2.1 Company Background Be The Light Decor was founded in 2016 in Southeast Louisiana and has executed 2,200+ holiday lighting and seasonal décor installations across the Gulf South and the broader Southeast for municipalities, business improvement districts, public institutions, and private clients. Our practice is purpose-built for the kind of high-visibility, coastal, mixed-use environment that defines Sunny Isles Beach: dense public corridors, tight installation windows, rigorous public-realm aesthetics, and a year-after-year standard set by what visitors and residents experienced the previous season. We are vertically integrated. Design, sourcing, installation, maintenance, removal, and warehoused storage are all performed by Be The Light Decor personnel and partner crews under our direct management. That gives us full control over schedule, quality, and response times, and it lets us stand behind the City's investment with a single accountable team. 2.2 Why We Are the Best-Qualified Firm for This Contract • Proven municipal experience at comparable scale. Our portfolio includes downtown corridors and parks programs with hundreds of poles, palms, and feature trees — directly analogous to the Sunny Isles scope. See Section 3 for project samples. • Turnkey single-source model. We deliver design through storage under one accountable contract, removing the burden of coordination across multiple vendors. • Coastal-environment expertise. Our installations across the Gulf South and Southeast routinely contend with salt air, high winds, and hurricane-season weather. Our material selection, fastening methods, and inspection cadence reflect that experience. • Inclusive, neutral design approach. Our team is comfortable designing for diverse civic audiences. The proposed Sunny Isles design will use neutral, non-holiday-specific colors and will display the City's outdoor menorah alongside any Christmas trees, as confirmed in Addendum 3, Q12 and Q25. • Performance discipline. Weekly inspections, documented service logs, 24/7 emergency contact, and an 8-hour on-site response window — committed in Section 6 of this proposal. • Stable, audited financials. Two years of certified business financial statements are submitted under separate confidential cover as required by MQR D (exempt from public records request). 2.3 Minimum Qualification Requirements (MQR) Compliance MQR Be The Light Decor Compliance A. Licensing (per Addendum #2) Per Addendum #2, Revision 1, the Florida Certified Electrical Contractor license is NOT a required MQR for this scope. Be The Light Decor will perform all work in
