21-001 - Racing Program Promoter and Operator Services

El Paso County (County or EPC) re-established the dirt track racing program at the El Paso County Fairgrounds in 2007 to provide a recreational race program for racers and spectators, raise funds to support the El Paso County Fair and Fairgrounds, and to serve as an economic development opportunity for eastern El Paso County. 
 
The Racing Program normally consists of the following scheduled events: Two (2) practices, eleven (11) regular races and a County Fair race.
 
The current agreement between the County and the Race Promoter and Operator (Contractor) includes a flat fee per race.  The Contractor is responsible for a majority of the race operation expenses including overseeing marketing efforts, safety, development, implementation, and enforcement of race competition rules, guidelines, and the conflict resolution process.  The County provides a suitable racing surface and the Contractor oversees the preparation of the track for each event.
