Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this solicitation is to receive responses and award a contract to a supplier to provide the Minnesota Department of Health 2024 Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) meeting on September 18-19, 2024. Approximately 200 attendees, meeting facilities, lodging, food and beverages, rental of audio visual and other equipment. Location: From an economic perspective, holding this meeting in the Twin Cities area minimizes the overall costs for travel and lodging, as well as the time commitment and time away from work for travel for attendees, speakers, and staff. Therefore holding the meeting within 35 miles of the Minnesota Capital Building at 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, St. Paul, MN 55155, by google maps is respectful of our attendees time, and financial burden that would otherwise be incurred if held outside the Twin Cities area.
