Preferred Professional Application

The Chicago Park District ("CPD") has many unique spaces, known as Special Event Venues (“SEV”) that host special events of almost every type and size, such as birthday parties, weddings, and both corporate and non-profit affairs. These events may require catering (e.g. food and beverage), rental supply (e.g. tents and furniture), and event production services (e.g. planning and coordination). To accommodate the needs of clients who intend to rent a SEV to host their event, the CPD seeks to establish a concise, but comprehensive List of Preferred Professionals (“List”) that would be eligible to provide these services on a routine basis in exchange for commission payment by firm to the CPD. Accordingly, the CPD invites interested and experienced firms to submit their application for consideration for inclusion on the List. Please see the Application Package (File 00) for further
