This floor plan document is related to an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) issued by Sarasota County, Florida for concession services at the 17th Street Regional Park. The document provides detailed layout specifications for three distinct concession areas: the Main Concession Area located at the Softball Complex, Satellite 1 serving the Adult Softball fields, and Satellite 2 at the Multipurpose synthetic turf fields. Sarasota County seeks qualified food services operators to provide comprehensive food and beverage services across these multiple locations within the 95-acre athletics and recreation complex scheduled for completion in 2026. The park will support eight youth softball fields, three adult softball fields, and four multipurpose synthetic turf fields. Proposals are due by November 25, 2025, and the initial contract term is negotiable with typical concession contracts structured for five years with renewal options.

The concession facilities are fully equipped with substantial infrastructure including walk-in coolers, commercial kitchen equipment, and specialized food preparation areas, with all operational costs including equipment, supplies, staffing, and licensing the responsibility of the selected vendor. Revenue sharing terms require submission of a proposal including a monthly flat fee and percentage of gross sales paid to the county, with vendors expected to offer diverse food and beverage options for adults and children, including healthy alternatives. Respondents must demonstrate professional staffing capabilities, customer service standards, comprehensive insurance coverage, and compliance with Sarasota County's Integrated Pest Management Guidelines and local ordinances. The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and Sarasota County reserves the right to review and modify contract terms and potentially permit additional vendors to enhance visitor experience.
