The file "Attachment_B-Design_Plans.pdf" is associated with Sarasota County's Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for concession services at Snook Haven Park. The county is seeking qualified food service operators to provide comprehensive food, beverage, and entertainment services within a new ADA-compliant facility. The project involves a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that includes a large accessible pavilion, viewing area, and fishing pier. The contract is anticipated to have an initial five-year term with potential renewal options, with proposals due by October 21, 2025. The park construction is expected to commence in July 2025 and take approximately 13 months, with the county intending to enter a Concessionaire Agreement during the construction period.

The opportunity requires a substantial financial commitment, including a $100,000 security deposit and a revenue sharing proposal comprising a monthly flat fee and percentage of gross sales. Historically, the concession has generated over $2 million in annual gross sales, suggesting a potentially lucrative contract. The location is along the Myakka River, adjacent to public lands including Sleeping Turtles Preserve South and Deer Prairie Creek Preserve. Potential vendors must demonstrate operational capabilities, financial contributions, sustainability practices, and alignment with park development goals. The county will evaluate proposals comprehensively, considering operational expertise, financial proposal, and overall value to the park's visitor experience, with no explicit mention of set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises.
