Our Firm's Role in the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival

Since its inception in 2018, the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival has grown into a premier event, featuring exhilarating races, annual concert series, Mecum auctions, and live broadcasts across the city. Our firm has been privileged to handle vendor selection, drafting, and engineering for this prestigious event, contributing to its reputation as a benchmark for wide-area events in Chattanooga.

Vendor Selection

Selecting the right vendors was crucial to the success of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival. Our approach included:

  1. Identifying Requirements: We began by identifying the specific needs for various aspects of the event, including racing infrastructure, concert staging, audio-visual equipment, and broadcasting services.
  2. Research and Evaluation: We conducted thorough research to find vendors with a proven track record in delivering high-quality services for large-scale events. Criteria included reliability, expertise, and cost-effectiveness.
  3. RFP Process: Issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to shortlisted vendors allowed us to gather detailed proposals. We carefully evaluated these based on their ability to meet the event's technical and logistical requirements.
  4. Final Selection: After a rigorous selection process, we partnered with top-tier vendors who could deliver exceptional services, ensuring the event’s high standards were met.

Drafting

Effective drafting was essential to plan the event's complex logistics and infrastructure:

  1. Site Plans: We developed comprehensive site plans that detailed the layout for racing tracks, concert venues, auction areas, and broadcast setups. These plans ensured optimal use of space and facilitated smooth operations.
  2. Technical Drawings: Detailed technical drawings were created for all installations, including staging, rigging, lighting, and sound systems. These drawings were essential for coordinating with vendors and ensuring precise execution.
  3. Permitting and Compliance: Our team handled all necessary permitting processes, ensuring compliance with local regulations and safety standards. This included coordinating with city officials and relevant authorities to secure all required approvals.

Engineering

Our engineering expertise ensured that all technical aspects of the event were meticulously planned and executed:

  1. Structural Engineering: We designed and engineered robust structures for the racing tracks and concert stages, ensuring safety and stability. This included calculating load capacities and stress factors to withstand dynamic event conditions.
  2. Audio-Visual Engineering: Implementing state-of-the-art audio-visual systems was critical for the concert and broadcast components. Our engineers worked closely with vendors to ensure optimal sound quality, lighting effects, and visual displays.
  3. Broadcast Engineering: To facilitate live broadcasts across the city, we designed and installed comprehensive broadcasting infrastructure. This included satellite uplinks, transmission equipment, and coordination with media partners to ensure seamless coverage.
