DATE: March 18, 2026
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH ZAMBELLI FIREWORKS MANUFACTURING CO., IN THE
AMOUNT OF $120,000, FOR FIREWORKS DISPLAY SERVICES FOR THE CITY'S
2026 FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION IN ALTOS DEL MAR PARK;
AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO NEGOTIATE AND FINALIZE THE
AGREEMENT; AND FURTHER, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY
CLERK TO EXECUTE THE FINAL AGREEMENT.
The Administration recommends approving a professional services agreement with Zambelli
Fireworks Manufacturing Co., in the amount of $120.000, for fireworks display services for the
City's 2026 Fourth of July celebration in Altos Del Mar Park; authorizing the administration to
negotiate and finalize the agreement; and further, authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to
execute the final agreement.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach hosts its annual Fourth of July Celebration at Altos Del Mar Park, a
signature community event that attracts thousands of residents and visitors to commemorate
Independence Day. The 2026 celebration carries added national significance, as it marks
America's Semiquincentennial—the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. In recognition of this historic milestone, the City aims to deliver a high quality and
memorable celebration that reflects the importance of the occasion.
A professionally produced fireworks display has long served as a central and defining feature of
the City's Fourth of July festivities. Historically, the cost of fireworks display services was more
manageable when the City permitted land -based fireworks launches from the beach or adjacent
upland areas. These land -based displays required fewer logistical resources and did not involve
the additional marine -based infrastructure necessary for offshore operations.
ANALYSIS
On September 11, 2024, the Mayor and City Commission adopted an amendment to the City's
Turtle Nesting Protection Ordinance, codified in Section 46203 of the City Code. The amendment
strengthened protections for nesting marine turtles by prohibiting activities involving direct
illumination of portions of the beach at nighttime during the marine turtle nesting season, which
spans from April 1 through October 31. Specifically, Section 46203(a) now prohibits fireworks
displays on the beach during the nesting season unless they are launched from offshore barges
that have obtained both a Fire Department permit and a Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) permit or exemption.
Because the Fourth of July holiday falls within the nesting season, the City is required to utilize
offshore barge -based fireworks displays to comply with the ordinance. This requirement has
significantly increased the cost of producing the fireworks show, such as barge services, marine
486 of 1677
logistics, and associated safety measures add substantial expense beyond the cost of the
pyrotechnics themselves. Barge services for this type of activation are currently ranging from
$63,000 to $70,000.
Pursuant to Section 2-366(c)(2) of the Miami Beach City Code for exempt professional services
and in accordance with Florida Statute §287.057, this Agreement is exempt from the procurement
process. The Miami Beach City Code provides that those services delineated as exempt
professional services under Florida Statute § 287.057 shall not require formal bids. Florida Statute
§ 287.057(3)(e)(1) provides that the following services are exempt professional services: "artistic
services" and the City has previously determined that fireworks displays constitute "artistic
services" within the meaning of the statute.
Notwithstanding the exempt nature of the services, the Tourism and Culture Department issued
two separate solicitations—ITQ202603801 and ITQ20260380003— seeking a qualified fireworks
vendor capable of providing a barge -based display that complies with environmental, safety, and
permitting requirements. Both solicitations closed without receiving any responses from qualified
vendors.
The lack of responses to the City's two competitive solicitations suggests a limited number of
vendors available or willing to provide barge -based fireworks displays at the required scale and
price point. Market conditions —particularly the high demand July 4th period and the elevated
expectations for the 250th anniversary celebration —further narrow vendor availability.
Given the time -sensitive nature of planning a largescale public event, the specialized expertise
required for barge -based displays, and the absence of responses to the City's solicitations, the
Administration evaluated available options to ensure the successful production of the 2026 Fourth
of July Celebration and contacted the previous July 4' Celebration vendor, Zambelli
Fireworks. Zambelli Fireworks is a nationally recognized fireworks provider with extensive
experience producing barge -based displays and has previously performed services for the City.
The company possesses the technical capacity, safety record, and operational experience
necessary to meet the City's requirements for a marine -based fireworks show at Altos Del Mar
Park.
Based on the lack of vendor responses to two formal solicitations, the specialized nature of the
required services, and the need to secure a qualified provider well in advance of the
Semiquincentennial celebration, the Administration has determined that directly engaging
Zambelli Fireworks is in the best interest of the City. This approach ensures that the City can
deliver a safe, compliant, and high -quality fireworks display befitting the 250th anniversary of the
nation's founding.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Funding for the City's July 4" Celebration fireworks and barge in the amount of $120,000 is
available in the current FY 2026 Resort Tax Fund budget. On September 30, 2025, the Mayor
and City Commission adopted the FY 2026 budget that included the requested funding for the
2026 0 of July event in the Resort Tax Fund.

Program Philosophy
Generally speaking there's an opening segment, main body and grand finale of a
fireworks display. Just as a great play or movie has various segments that flow together,
firework shows are similar type productions that should never leave the audience
wanting more or leaving disappointed.
There are fundamental basics that Zambelli Fireworks adheres to, with which we create
the best displays in the industry. Some of these fundamentals include:
• No Dead Air Just as any TV, radio or Big Screen Production, "Dead -Air" is
simply not acceptable. At any given time there will be multiple firings of shots
and shells in the air for the display.
Shell Size Combinations A common way for companies to set a show is to
shoot all 2 inch shells, then all 3 inch shells, then all 4 inch shells, etc. While
this makes it easy for a technician, it is simply boring. Zambelli technicians
are trained to set shows to create the ultimate in shell combinations for the
various firing sites. For example, firing two 3 inch Gold Kamuro Willow shell
(400 ft.) and six 2.5 inch Purple Dahlias is a great, beautiful combination.
Firing two 3 inch Pink strobing lights and six 4 inch white strobing lights within
seconds offers up to 8 seconds of beautiful strobes covering 200 to 400 ft in
the air.
• Rhythm and Intensity Just as many movies have a loud, action -packed car
chase one moment followed by a romantic scene the next moment, fireworks
productions also need to flow. A show that is too fast or too slow can get
monotonous. Zambelli designs shows that one moment are a constant
barrage of colors and booms while the next moment may be soft horsetail
golden willows fluttering down from the sky one -by -one.
Finales There's a major art to shooting a spectacular finale. Many people
think a finale is simply shooting a lot of shells. While true from a quantitative
standpoint, a finale must make sense in order to entertain most effectively.
Zambelli deigns finales that start slower and lower. For example, 3 inch peony
finale shells fired every half -second for 20 seconds may then grow in intensity
to include white or silver glittering for the next 20 seconds. Then larger 4 inch
blue cracking spiders take over while 3 inch white coconut trees are laying the
ground cover. Finally the 100 3 inch multi -color crossettes are covering the
sky while the 3 inch titanium salutes are rumbling the skies for miles.

OPENING: An opening barrage is designed to attract the attention of the
audience and entice them to pay attention ... "The show has just begun!" The
opening barrage for your event will certainly impress as a barrage of assorted
colors, effects, and noise shells fill the night's air.
The purpose of the opener is to impress on your audience that they are
PRESENTATION: The main body of the fireworks display should not be just one
shell fired one after another. It's about rhythm, timing, and choosing the perfect
effects to complement one another to build themes. Some fireworks shells are
designed to be extremely intense while others are designed to slow the pace
down with beautiful, softer effects. The design team hand picks every display
shell used to ensure a wonderful variety of effects. The audience will never see
the same combinations of shells fired in a Zambelli production.
Different size shells will be breaking simultaneously throughout the
display. This allows us to vary the intensity of the show, but more
importantly create beautiful canvases of color and effect in the sky, that
stimulate both visually and audibly.
BARRAGES OF MULTI -SHOT DEVICES: Multi -shot devices or barrage cakes
are used to add to the dynamics of the show. Zambelli Fireworks uses only the
highest quality Barrages with innovative effects, colors, and angles. These
devices incorporate effect sizes from 3" to 6".
GRAND FINALE: and itwill be GRAND!
Human nature is to remember things last experienced. The Grand Finale is what
people will remember the most about a fireworks production. A poor finale will
leave an audience disappointed. Zambelli Fireworks has a long tradition of
supplying the best and biggest finales in the industry. It will be loud, it will be full
of vibrant colors, it will be long, and it will leave a lasting impression. Hundreds of
shots and effects of multi -color shells, gold and silver sparking lights, gold
brocade crown shells and other effects coupled with chest -pounding titanium -
salutes will be the magical ending of the grand display. The finale will be fired
from multiple positions with dynamic angles. The incorporated shells, with
multiple different sizes and effects, will cover every inch of sky from 150 to 300 ft
in the air.
