Olypmic Bid City of Boston: Olympic Venue Bid Process

The City of Boston, Massachusetts stands as one of America's iconic cities. Its history goes back to the American Revolution and the city continues to represent America's prosperity and wealth. Boston is an excellent site for the 2020 Olympic Games. The IOC has a specific life cycle of the bid process (Olympic.org, 2012a) . The bid process begins many years prior to the scheduled Olympic Games (Olympic.org. (2012d).This proposal will represent the first stage of the bid process (IOC, 2012 Games Lifecycle).

The bid and election process takes many years. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has a subcommittee that is responsible for elections of the host city (Olympic.org, 2012b). The committee makes a careful evaluation of the cities that have submitted a bid. All must meet certain criteria. An impact study must be conducted to determine how hosting the games would affect the citizens of the city (DBSA.org, 2011). After these considerations, the committee casts votes that will decide the venue of future Olympic Games (Olympic.org, 2012c). The following will outline the elements necessary for proposal to submit a bid for Boston to serve as the venue for the 2020 Olympic Games. The following sections will be necessary in order to address the issues included in the upcoming bid proposal.

Legal Aspects

Hosting the 2020 Olympic Games has many legal ramifications. The chosen venue will have to comply with local regulations, state regulations, and Federal regulations of the United States. However, because the event is an international event, it will also have to comply with international rules and the laws governing the OlympicGames. The legal aspects of hosting the Olympic Games will have to consider all of these levels of law and integrate them...

At times, laws and rules may be in conflict with one another, at which point legal consultants will have to determine which set of laws takes precedent and the venue for resolving any disputes were complaints.
Environmental Protection

Any time large numbers of people come together for a specific purpose, it will create environmental hazards. Waste disposal, trash, and extra traffic are all side effects that will affect City of Boston, should it be chosen to hold the 2020 Olympic Games. One of the key concerns will be if the city's current waste handling and environmental protection system will be able to handle the anticipated influx of additional trash, waste, and traffic. The International Olympic Committee has mandated that the games "Go green" to the extent possible (Olympic.org, 2012b).

These concerns will be outlined in a separate section of the Olympic bid proposal.

Security

Security is always a key issue with the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is a major world event and the eyes of the world are upon it. This makes it a prime target for terrorists or other groups who wish to make a statement about their cause. It also provides petty thieves and other criminals a place that is rich with potential victims of their nefarious activities. Therefore, the City of Boston will have to address security issues. It is not uncommon for cities to call in additional security from the state and Federal level to help protect athletes, officials, and visitors. The catastrophic event would reflect poorly on the United States and its ability to protect attendees of the Olympic Games. A catastrophe can also have legal ramifications as well. Security will be an essential portion of the Olympic Games bid.
