AI Contract Overview
The City of Bismarck is seeking proposals from qualified management companies to oversee the operations and food and beverage services at the Bismarck Event Center, a key regional facility comprising an arena, exhibit hall, and auditorium that hosts approximately 700 events annually and attracts over 300,000 attendees. This initiative follows a comprehensive review conducted by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), which recommended transitioning to a third-party management model under a newly established BEC Authority Board to improve operational efficiency, revenue generation, and the facility’s regional prominence. The selected operator will be responsible for managing daily operations, implementing strategic operational changes, and achieving specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned with the City’s goals to enhance the BEC’s impact and performance. The RFP, issued on September 11, 2025, and open until November 4, 2025, emphasizes the need for experience in managing multi-venue facilities, standardized operating procedures, and data-driven management practices. The contract size is estimated to range between 5 million and 15 million dollars, reflecting the scope of responsibilities involved. The City aims to establish clear performance metrics to ensure the operator’s success in optimizing space utilization, increasing revenue, and elevating the BEC’s status as a premier destination in the region. The process is managed by City staff and JLL, with the goal of selecting a partner capable of delivering measurable results and supporting the long-term strategic objectives of the community’s vital public asset.
