b. Approval of a Standard Contract with Open Sky for an America 250 Drone Show

City Council Regular Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The City of Port Orange is planning an America 250 Drone Show for the 4th of July Celebration. This event is currently under review. The project involves contracting with Open Sky for the drone show services. This event will likely require site preparation for the drone launch and recovery, coordination with local authorities for airspace, and potentially temporary power or staging areas. The scope of work will focus on the drone show itself, including programming, operation, and safety measures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in event planning, technical services, and potentially site management could find opportunities. Engaging early in the planning process before final contracts and permits are secured may offer a competitive advantage.
