RE: City of Sunny Isles Beach
RFP # 26-04-01 Citywide Holiday Lighting & Decorating Services
Dear Evaluation Committee Members,
On behalf of Miami Christmas Lights (“MCL”), we are honored to submit our proposal for the City of
Sunny Isles Beach’s Citywide Holiday Lighting & Decorating Services project.
Sunny Isles Beach is one of South Florida’s most recognizable and visually distinguished coastal
communities. The City’s emphasis on creating vibrant public spaces, enhancing the resident experience,
and delivering memorable destination-quality environments aligns directly with MCL’s approach to
municipal holiday décor. Our proposal has been thoughtfully developed to transform key corridors and
gathering spaces throughout the City into immersive, elegant, and visually striking holiday experiences
that reflect the sophistication and energy of Sunny Isles Beach.
As the City’s former holiday lighting provider from 2013 through 2020, MCL possesses a unique
understanding of Sunny Isles Beach’s infrastructure, operational expectations, coastal environment, and
community standards. This institutional knowledge allows our team to proactively anticipate project
needs, streamline installation logistics, and minimize operational disruptions while delivering a higher
level of reliability and responsiveness throughout the holiday season.
Since our previous work with the City, MCL has significantly evolved into one of South Florida’s most
technologically advanced holiday lighting and décor firms. Our proposal incorporates proprietary systems
and operational technologies specifically designed to improve reliability, durability, and real-time service
responsiveness in demanding municipal and coastal environments such as Sunny Isles Beach.
These innovations include:
●Proprietary IP67-rated lighting systems engineered to withstand South Florida’s harsh coastal
conditions, including salt air, wind exposure, and moisture intrusion
●Remote AI-assisted monitoring technology designed to proactively identify outages and service
interruptions, allowing for rapid issue detection and resolution before they impact the resident or
visitor experience
●Proprietary solar-powered décor solutions that expand installation flexibility while supporting
sustainability initiatives and reducing infrastructure limitations in select locations
●Dedicated rapid-response service teams operating nightly.
MCL’s headquarters and operations facility are located in Miami Lakes, approximately 17 miles from
Sunny Isles Beach, allowing our team to provide exceptionally fast deployment and emergency response
capabilities. Additionally, MCL services numerous municipal, commercial, and hospitality clients
throughout the surrounding area each evening during the holiday season, ensuring that active field crews,

equipment, and supervisory personnel are consistently positioned near the City when needed most.
Our proposal has been strategically designed around the City’s stated priorities, with a strong emphasis
on Collins Avenue and Gateway Park as primary focal areas. We recognize these highly visible locations
serve not only as transportation corridors and public gathering spaces, but also as defining visual
gateways for residents and visitors alike. The included renderings and conceptual designs were
developed to illustrate how thoughtfully curated holiday décor can create elegant, engaging, and
“Instagrammable” destination-style experiences while preserving the sophisticated aesthetic identity of
Sunny Isles Beach.
Equally important, MCL understands that successful municipal holiday programs require far more than
attractive décor alone. Reliability during high-visibility public events, responsive maintenance operations,
safe installation practices, and consistent communication are critical to the City’s success. Our
operational model is specifically designed to support these priorities through proactive maintenance
protocols, real-time field coordination, and dedicated on-site support during major City events and
ceremonies.
MCL appreciates the opportunity to once again partner with the City of Sunny Isles Beach and present our
vision for this important project. We are confident that our combination of municipal experience,
technological innovation, operational infrastructure, and design capabilities uniquely positions MCL to
deliver a holiday program that exceeds the City’s expectations and creates a memorable seasonal
experience for the entire community.
Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to the oppor tunity to further discuss our proposal with
the City.
Sincerely,
Kurt Stange
President

Client: City of Miami Beach, Florida
Project Duration: 2014 – Present
The City of Miami Beach selected
MCL through a competitive
procurement process to design,
install, maintain, and manage a
large-scale holiday lighting and
décor program across one of the
country’s most recognized tourism
destinations. The City required a
contractor capable of delivering
visually impactful holiday
experiences while maintaining
operational reliability throughout
active public spaces during peak
tourism season.
The project includes more than
seven miles of decorative
installations across over twenty
public locations extending from
South Pointe Park through North
Beach. The scope includes
illuminating more than 350 trees,
installing over 140 custom décor
elements, supporting ceremonial
activations, and maintaining
presentation standards throughout the holiday season. Due to Miami Beach’s coastal environment, all
décor systems were engineered to withstand salt exposure, moisture, wind, and continuous public
interaction while maintaining a premium appearance.
MCL implemented comprehensive site inspections, infrastructure evaluations, proactive maintenance
protocols, and real-time project tracking systems to support uninterrupted operations throughout the
season. All project locations were integrated into MCL’s proprietary maintenance and operational
management systems, allowing rapid response capabilities and transparent communication with City
staff.
The holiday program has become a highly visible seasonal attraction that enhances public spaces,
supports tourism activity, and increases community engagement. This project demonstrates MCL’s ability
to manage complex, high-visibility municipal holiday programs requiring elevated design standards,
operational responsiveness, and dependable performance within active coastal environments highly
comparable to Sunny Isles Beach.

Client: Miami Downtown Development Authority (Miami DDA)
Project Duration: 2022 - Present
MCL was selected by the Miami
Downtown Development Authority to
transform three blocks of historic
Flagler Street into a destination-style
holiday environment designed to
increase foot traffic, activate public
space, and create a memorable visitor
experience within one of South Florida’s
busiest urban corridors.
The project included the design,
fabrication, installation, maintenance,
and operational management of
custom holiday décor throughout a
dense pedestrian and vehicular
environment. The scope included forty-
five custom pole decorations,
illumination of more than fifty trees,
immersive lighting elements, interactive
photo opportunities, a custom
suspended skyline installation, and a
thirty-two-foot centerpiece Christmas
tree serving as the focal point of the
activation. MCL also coordinated
operational support for annual tree
lighting ceremonies and public programming.
Due to the project’s active downtown setting, all décor systems were engineered for durability, public
safety, tamper resistance, and long-term operational reliability. MCL utilized reinforced mounting systems,
proactive maintenance procedures, and real-time project coordination systems to ensure uninterrupted
operations throughout the holiday season.
Since implementation, the activation has generated significant public engagement, social media
exposure, and regional visibility while increasing pedestrian activity throughout the downtown district.
This project demonstrates MCL’s ability to create immersive, “Instagrammable” destination-style
environments that combine operational reliability with visually impactful public experiences highly
relevant to the City of Sunny Isles Beach.

15
Client: City of Bonita Springs, Florida
Project Duration: 2024 - Present
The City of Bonita Springs selected
MCL to provide a comprehensive
holiday lighting and décor program
throughout the downtown district,
Riverside Park, roadway corridors,
medians, roundabouts, and public
gathering spaces. The City sought a
contractor capable of delivering a
visually cohesive, destination-quality
holiday experience while overcoming
infrastructure limitations associated
with power availability.
The project included design
development, fabrication,
installation, maintenance, event
support, removal, and operational
management of large-scale
decorative lighting systems across
multiple public environments. Key
elements included illuminated
streetscape décor, immersive
holiday walkthrough experiences,
custom photo opportunities, and
decorative enhancements designed
to increase community engagement
and activate the downtown area throughout the holiday season.
A major component of the project involved implementing decorative lighting in areas lacking accessible
electrical infrastructure. To address this challenge, MCL integrated its proprietary SolLume commercial-
grade solar décor system, allowing illuminated holiday elements to be installed in locations where
traditional electrical service was impractical or cost-prohibitive. This innovative approach expanded the
City’s decorating capabilities while supporting sustainability objectives and reducing infrastructure
limitations.
The project also required coordinated event support, proactive maintenance operations, rapid-response
service capabilities, and ongoing operational oversight throughout the display season. This project
demonstrates MCL’s ability to deliver technologically advanced, operationally reliable, and visually
impactful municipal holiday programs combining creative design, sustainability innovation, and
destination-oriented public experiences relevant to Sunny Isles Beach.

Staffing
MCL has assembled a highly experienced and specialized project team to support the successful
execution, maintenance, and management of the City of Sunny Isles Beach holiday lighting and décor
program. MCL’s staffing approach is built on accountability, responsiveness, continuity of leadership, and
hands-on project oversight, ensuring that all aspects of the program are managed through clearly defined
roles and direct responsibility from project initiation through post-season removal.
Unlike traditional staffing models where
installation and maintenance responsibilities
are divided among separate teams, MCL
utilizes a continuity-based operational
structure in which the same leadership
personnel responsible for installation remain
actively involved in maintenance oversight,
monitoring, event support, and quality control
throughout the holiday season. This
integrated approach allows the City to benefit
from faster issue resolution, improved
communication, stronger accountability, and
more consistent presentation quality across
all project locations.
Executive oversight for the project will be led
by Kurt Stange, President of MCL, who will
serve as Executive Project Lead and maintain
direct involvement throughout all phases of

coordination, operational planning,
scheduling, design direction, quality
assurance, and executive-level
communication with the City to ensure all
project objectives, timelines, and performance
expectations are achieved successfully.

coordination will be managed by Kathryn Hernandez, who will serve as the City’s primary point of contact
throughout the project lifecycle. Kathryn will coordinate scheduling updates, service requests,
maintenance communication, project reporting, and ongoing support to ensure responsive
communication and consistent alignment with City expectations.
Field operations, installation activities, maintenance response, and seasonal support services will be
overseen by Jedidiah Swartz, Director of Field Operations, and Sajeed Boocus, Field Foreman. This
leadership team will coordinate installation sequencing, staffing assignments, quality control inspections,
equipment deployment, and rapid-response service operations throughout the holiday season. Their

direct involvement throughout both installation and maintenance phases ensures continuity, efficiency,
and consistent operational oversight.
Creative direction and visual design development will be led by July Alvear, Director of Creative
Experiences, in collaboration with MCL’s design team. This team will be responsible for developing
cohesive décor concepts, destination-quality visual experiences, renderings, and strategically designed
public spaces aligned with the City’s vision for Collins Avenue, Gateway Park, and other highly visible
areas throughout Sunny Isles Beach.
Electrical support services, if ever needed, will be coordinated through MCL’s licensed electrical partners
to support infrastructure connections, troubleshooting, code compliance, and rapid-response electrical
service when required. MCL will also coordinate all Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) requirements,
permitting coordination, traffic control planning, and operational safety procedures associated with
installation and event activities occurring within public rights-of-way.
MCL maintains multiple installation, maintenance, and rapid-response crews operating throughout the
area during the holiday season, supported by centralized warehousing, inventory management systems,
specialized equipment, and dedicated municipal support personnel. This active operational presence
throughout the region ensures nearby field personnel and maintenance resources remain readily available
throughout the duration of the project.
For City-sponsored events and ceremonial activations, including the Holiday Lighting Ceremony at
Gateway Park, MCL will provide dedicated event staffing support including supervisory personnel, on-site
technicians, rapid-response maintenance crews, and designated event representatives responsible for
operational coordination, guest-facing support, and immediate issue resolution. Pre-event inspections,
infrastructure testing, and system checks will be completed prior to all major events to help ensure
reliable operation, presentation quality, safety, and overall event readiness.
In addition to MCL’s core installation and maintenance personnel, MCL maintains trained seasonal event
staff currently on payroll who have supported large-scale holiday lighting ceremonies, public activations,
destination-oriented experiences, and high-traffic seasonal events throughout South Florida, including
projects for nationally recognized hospitality and entertainment destinations such as Hard Rock and
Disney-affiliated properties and experiences. These personnel are experienced in public-facing event
operations, crowd-aware environments, live event coordination, décor monitoring, and rapid-response
support during high-visibility public events.
To further support scalability and operational flexibility, MCL also maintains relationships with specialized
staffing agencies experienced in event support personnel and large-scale public activations. This allows
MCL to efficiently scale staffing levels up or down based on the specific operational requirements,
attendance expectations, and logistical needs of individual City events while maintaining centralized
supervision and operational oversight through MCL leadership personnel.
All event personnel assigned to City-sponsored activities will remain under the direct supervision and
management of MCL throughout the duration of the contract. Field personnel and event staff will
maintain professional appearance standards and wear clean, coordinated uniforms appropriate for

Approach and Methodology
Operational Philosophy & Program Delivery
MCL’s approach to the City of Sunny Isles Beach holiday lighting and décor program is built around
proactive operational management, engineered system reliability, destination-quality presentation
standards, and responsive municipal support. MCL understands that a highly visible public holiday
program requires significantly more than decorative installations alone. It requires organized planning,
disciplined execution, preventative maintenance, rapid-response support capabilities, and continuous
operational oversight designed to ensure that the City’s holiday experience remains consistently
illuminated, visually impactful, and operationally reliable throughout the entire season.
Unlike traditional holiday lighting providers that operate through largely reactive maintenance models,
MCL’s methodology is structured around preventing issues before they occur. Every aspect of MCL’s
operational approach, including design, engineering, fabrication, installation methodology, monitoring
systems, maintenance procedures, and staffing structure, is intentionally developed to minimize outages,
reduce operational disruptions, improve long-term reliability, and maintain uninterrupted presentation
quality throughout active public environments.
MCL operates through a continuity-based management structure in which the same leadership personnel
responsible for installation remain directly involved throughout maintenance operations, inspections,
event support, and post-season removal. This integrated operational model creates stronger
accountability, improved communication, faster issue resolution, and more efficient project execution
because the personnel responsible for ongoing system performance are directly familiar with the
infrastructure, installation methodology, décor systems, and operational requirements associated with the
project.
The City’s holiday lighting and décor program will be managed through a collaborative operational
process involving executive leadership, creative design personnel, field operations management,
maintenance supervisors, event support teams, and dedicated project coordination staff. This structure
allows MCL to maintain consistent communication with City representatives while ensuring all
operational activities remain aligned with the City’s expectations, project schedules, event requirements,
public safety standards, and overall vision for a destination-quality holiday experience reflective of the
world-class character of Sunny Isles Beach.
Planning, Site Evaluation & Operational Coordination
MCL’s operational process begins with detailed planning, infrastructure evaluation, and field coordination
activities conducted well in advance of installation. Prior to mobilization, MCL conducts comprehensive
site reviews throughout all project locations to evaluate décor placement opportunities, electrical
infrastructure availability, traffic conditions, pedestrian activity, environmental exposure conditions,
installation access requirements, and operational constraints associated with each location.
South Florida Lighting Team, LLC DBA Miami Christmas Lights.
27
Each project area is evaluated not only from a visual design perspective, but also from an operational
performance standpoint to ensure all installations can be executed safely, efficiently, and reliably
throughout the duration of the season. MCL evaluates electrical capacity, infrastructure accessibility,
mounting conditions, irrigation exposure, environmental conditions, and long-term maintenance
accessibility when determining décor placement and installation methodology. This approach helps
reduce service interruptions while improving long-term operational reliability and maintenance efficiency.
Following field evaluations, MCL develops coordinated installation plans, operational schedules, staging
strategies, and maintenance planning procedures to ensure all project activities are executed in an
organized and efficient manner. Installation sequencing is strategically planned to minimize disruption
within active public environments while maintaining operational efficiency across all project zones. MCL
also coordinates all required permitting activities, Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) planning, operational
safety procedures, and event-related coordination activities associated with installation and ongoing
support operations occurring within public rights-of-way and highly visible public environments.
MCL will provide the City with renderings,
design concepts, installation schedules,
event coordination plans, and operational
planning documentation for review and
approval prior to implementation. This
collaborative coordination process
ensures all décor installations, event
activations, and operational activities
remain aligned with the City’s vision,
operational expectations, scheduling
priorities, and presentation standards.
Design, Engineering &
Reliability Strategy
MCL approaches holiday lighting and
décor as both a creative discipline and an
engineered operational system. Every
installation is developed with the
objective of delivering not only visually
impactful décor experiences, but also
long-term operational reliability within
South Florida’s uniquely demanding
subtropical environment.
Unlike traditional vendors that rely heavily
on generic third-party décor systems
engineered primarily for colder northern
South Florida Lighting Team, LLC DBA Miami Christmas Lights.
28
climates, MCL designs and engineers systems specifically intended for South Florida operating
conditions including humidity, heavy rainfall, irrigation exposure, salt air, high winds, and continuous
outdoor operation throughout the holiday season. This engineering-focused approach significantly
improves system reliability while reducing common outage conditions associated with moisture intrusion,
GFCI interruptions, corrosion, and environmental wear.
A major component of MCL’s reliability strategy is its proprietary IP67-rated lighting and décor
ecosystem. This fully sealed low-voltage lighting infrastructure is specifically engineered to reduce
moisture-related failures and electrical interruptions commonly associated with municipal holiday
installations operating within wet public environments. By utilizing fully sealed connection systems from
power source through lighting elements, MCL significantly reduces the potential for outages caused by
rain, irrigation exposure, corrosion, and environmental contamination.
MCL has also intentionally eliminated staples from its installation methodology to improve long-term
system integrity and reduce damage to wiring infrastructure. Traditional stapling methods frequently
create wire failures caused by accidental punctures or compression damage during installation activities.
MCL’s engineered attachment methods reduce these risks while also helping protect valuable public
landscaping and vegetation from unnecessary installation-related damage associated with staple-based
installation techniques.
Every décor element is strategically designed and engineered for its intended environment, including
evaluation of mounting conditions, structural requirements, wind exposure, pedestrian interaction,
visibility, and long-term operational performance. MCL’s engineering methodology is focused not only on
creating visually engaging public experiences, but on ensuring those experiences remain consistently
operational throughout the duration of the holiday season.
Proactive Maintenance & AI-Assisted Monitoring
MCL’s maintenance methodology is designed around proactive operational oversight rather than reactive
service response. The primary objective of MCL’s maintenance operations is to ensure the City’s holiday
lighting and décor program remains consistently illuminated, visually cohesive, and operationally reliable
throughout the entire season.
Unlike traditional maintenance approaches that rely primarily on public reporting or client complaints to
identify outages, MCL utilizes layered preventative maintenance procedures designed to identify and
address issues before they become visible to the City or public. MCL personnel routinely inspect active
installations throughout the season, with field teams operating throughout the Sunny Isles Beach area on
a near-nightly basis due to the company’s extensive regional operational presence and municipal project
activity throughout surrounding areas.
In most cases, MCL personnel are actively servicing, inspecting, or monitoring installations multiple times
per week regardless of whether formal service requests have been submitted. This proactive field
presence significantly improves issue detection, reduces outage duration, and helps maintain a
consistently illuminated presentation throughout high-visibility public areas.
South Florida Lighting Team, LLC DBA Miami Christmas Lights.
29
MCL has also developed proprietary AI-assisted monitoring systems capable of remotely monitoring
lighting displays and identifying operational interruptions or outages in real time through remote video
surveillance analysis. When irregularities are detected, the system immediately alerts MCL’s maintenance
personnel, allowing service tickets to be generated and dispatched rapidly, often before outages are
formally reported by clients or members of the public. This technology-driven operational oversight
process creates continuous quality monitoring capabilities and significantly improves maintenance
responsiveness, outage prevention, and long-term operational consistency.
For non-emergency maintenance issues reported prior to 2:00 PM, MCL typically addresses service
requests within the same evening operational cycle, with most issues resolved within approximately 12 to
24 hours depending on operational conditions and issue severity. MCL also maintains after-hours
emergency response availability and operational support systems designed to address urgent issues
requiring immediate attention during evenings, weekends, holidays, and special events.
Because MCL designs, engineers, installs, and maintains its own lighting systems, replacement inventory
and repair materials remain readily available throughout the holiday season, allowing maintenance
personnel to perform repairs rapidly without delays associated with sourcing third-party components or
coordinating external vendors.
Ver tical Integration &
Operational Control
MCL operates as a fully vertically integrated
holiday lighting and décor provider, maintaining
direct control over design, engineering,
fabrication, installation, maintenance, removal,
refurbishment, storage, and inventory
management operations. This operational
structure provides the City with significant
advantages related to quality control, system
reliability, operational efficiency, inventory
availability, maintenance responsiveness, and
long-term performance consistency.
Unlike many traditional vendors that purchase
generic décor systems from third-party
suppliers and rely on outsourced operational
support, MCL maintains direct involvement
throughout the full lifecycle of its décor
infrastructure and lighting systems. This level
of operational control allows MCL to engineer
products specifically for South Florida
operating conditions while maintaining strict

performance standards throughout all phases of the project.
Because MCL controls fabrication, maintenance, and inventory internally, replacement materials, repair
components, and operational support resources remain immediately accessible throughout the season.
This allows MCL to resolve issues more efficiently while maintaining higher levels of system consistency
and operational reliability compared to traditional outsourced service models.
MCL’s vertically integrated approach also allows the company to continuously improve its systems over
time based on real-world operational performance, field observations, maintenance history, and
environmental conditions experienced throughout South Florida municipal environments. This continuous
improvement process has allowed MCL to evolve its systems beyond traditional decorative lighting
installations into highly engineered operational ecosystems designed specifically to reduce outages,
improve longevity, and maintain consistent public presentation quality.
SolLume™ Solar Lighting Ecosystem
In addition to traditional powered lighting infrastructure, MCL offers its proprietary SolLume™ commercial
solar lighting ecosystem as part of its overall operational and design strategy. SolLume™ provides the City
with innovative opportunities to activate areas where permanent electrical infrastructure may be limited,
operationally impractical, or cost prohibitive to expand through traditional electrical construction
methods.
Operating on a low-voltage platform specifically engineered for commercial holiday lighting applications,
SolLume™ allows MCL to extend lighting and décor experiences into parks, medians, pedestrian corridors,
waterfront areas, temporary activation zones, and other high-visibility public spaces without requiring
trenching, generators, or extensive electrical infrastructure expansion. This capability provides the City
with additional flexibility when developing expanded décor experiences, destination-oriented activations,
and environmentally conscious holiday installations throughout the community.
Unlike decorative solar products designed for residential applications, SolLume™ is engineered
specifically for commercial-grade public environment use and is designed to provide illumination levels
comparable to traditional powered décor systems. This allows the City to expand decorative coverage
opportunities while maintaining presentation consistency and operational reliability across both
electrically powered and solar-supported installations.

Visual Experience Concepts
Winter by the Waves
“Winter by the Waves” was intentionally designed as a holiday experience unique to the City of Sunny Isles Beach,
inspired by the City’s oceanfront identity, modern skyline, luxury coastal atmosphere, and vibrant public spaces. Rather
than applying a traditional holiday aesthetic commonly repeated throughout Florida, this concept combines flowing
wave-inspired forms, layered illumination, cool blue tones, warm white lighting, and refined winter elements to create a
sophisticated seasonal environment reflective of Sunny Isles Beach’s distinctive character.
The overall design emphasizes visual continuity throughout gateways, monument signage, roadway corridors,
medians, pedestrian spaces, and gathering areas to create an immersive destination-quality holiday experience
throughout the City. Sculptural lighting features, custom pole décor, contemporary snowflake elements, and interactive
photo opportunities were strategically selected to encourage community engagement while reinforcing the City’s
upscale coastal identity.
A major focus of the concept was maximizing decorative coverage and public impact while maintaining a highly
curated and visually cohesive presentation. Many of the proposed décor elements and streetscape features were
specifically selected or developed for this concept and are not standard catalog items commonly found in neighboring
municipalities. The result is a family-oriented, visually distinctive, and highly memorable holiday experience designed to
feel authentic to Sunny Isles Beach and unlike any other municipal holiday program currently operating within the State
of Florida.
