The Department of Parks, Recreation & Waterfront requests proposals from interested parties for a one year lease, with a second year option at the City’s sole discretion, to provide food and alcohol concessions. The concessionaire will operate out of the upper portion of the lower shelter at Oakledge Park.
The concessionaire will have access to power for a food truck or cart, water (not direct hookup), and storage space. Storage space could be converted to kitchen at expense of renter. The concessionaire's area includes a covered space where the vendor could set up seating, but an open path must be maintained from the restrooms to the playground. The lower portion of the shelter area, closest to the beach, is a separate daily rental for the public.
Based off of concessionaire usage BPRW reserves the right to negotiate payment for electrical usage. For the allowance to conduct business operations at Oakledge Park, the Department asks for a proposed compensation package of 10% of gross revenue receipts, monthly payments, with a minimum payment of $2,000.00 annually.
