Attachment_A-Park_Boundary_Map.pdf

Attachment A is a park boundary map produced by Sarasota County GIS depicting the Snook Haven Area located along the Myakka River in Florida. The map identifies the Snook Haven park boundaries and adjacent public lands including Sleeping Turtles Preserve South, Deer Prairie Creek Preserve, and other surrounding parcels. This attachment supports Sarasota County's Invitation to Negotiate for concession services at Snook Haven Park, which seeks qualified food service operators to manage a new ADA-compliant food service facility within the park. The concession contract targets an initial five-year term with potential renewal options, and proposals are due by October 21, 2025. Sarasota County anticipates commencing park construction in July 2025 with approximately 13 months for completion, intending to execute a Concessionaire Agreement during construction and prior to facility opening. The Capital Improvement Program improvements include a large accessible pavilion, viewing area, and fishing pier designed to enhance visitor experience and support high-volume food and beverage operations.

Respondents must submit a revenue-sharing proposal including a monthly flat fee and percentage of gross sales, along with a substantial capital contribution to the facility. The selected concessionaire will be required to provide a $100,000 security deposit and demonstrate sustainability practices, appropriate licenses, and certifications. Historical gross sales at the location exceed $2 million annually, indicating significant revenue potential for qualified operators. The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Operators may be required to manage satellite concessions or mobile vending during peak seasons to maximize service delivery throughout the park.
