Attachment_B-Design_Plans.pdf

This file is a design plans attachment (Attachment B) for the Snook Haven Concession Services Invitation to Negotiate issued by Sarasota County, Florida. The design plans document outlines the specifications and layout for a new ADA-compliant food service facility being constructed at Snook Haven Park as part of the county's Capital Improvement Program. The project includes a large accessible pavilion, viewing area, and fishing pier integrated into the overall park development. The concession services solicitation targets qualified local, regional, and national food service operators to provide comprehensive food, beverage, and entertainment services. Proposals were due by October 21, 2025, with the contract anticipated to have an initial five-year term with potential renewal options. The park construction is expected to commence in July 2025 and require approximately 13 months for completion, with the county intending to execute a Concessionaire Agreement during the construction phase and prior to facility opening.

The financial requirements include a substantial capital contribution from the selected operator, a monthly flat fee plus percentage of gross sales revenue sharing arrangement, and a $100,000 security deposit. Historical performance data indicates the concession has generated over $2 million in annual gross sales, suggesting significant revenue potential for qualified operators. The facility will be located in the Snook Haven Area along the Myakka River, adjacent to public lands including Sleeping Turtles Preserve South and Deer Prairie Creek Preserve. Respondents must demonstrate operational capabilities, maintain appropriate licenses and certifications, implement sustainability practices, and potentially manage satellite concessions or mobile vending during peak seasons. The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The county reserved the right to negotiate with one or multiple respondents to determine the best value proposition based on operational expertise, financial proposal, sustainability practices, and overall value to the park's visitor experience.
