Commercial Lease Space - Cafe | PLEASANT VALLEY BRANCH

The Weber County Library Board of Trustees is seeking proposals for a private or not-for-profit vendor to operate a Coffee Shop/Cafe within the Pleasant Valley Branch Library located at 5568 Adams Ave., Washington Terrace, Utah. This commercial lease opportunity requires a vendor to provide cafe services within the library facility, with a comprehensive Request for Proposal (RFP) detailing the specific requirements and expectations. An mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at the library location, which will include a site tour and opportunity for vendor questions. Vendors must send a representative to this meeting to be eligible to submit a proposal. The proposal submission deadline is September 11, 2025, and interested parties must carefully review the attached documents, including the Rent Proposal, Cafe Rating Sheet, and Lease Agreement Template. Evaluation of proposals will likely involve assessing the vendor's ability to meet the library's operational requirements, potential menu offerings, and overall compatibility with the library environment.

While the RFP documents do not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the opportunity appears open to private and not-for-profit vendors who can demonstrate capability to operate a cafe within a library setting. The attached documents, particularly the Cafe Rating Sheet and Lease Agreement Template, will provide detailed criteria for vendor selection and operational expectations. The specific financial terms, including potential rent or revenue sharing arrangements, are likely outlined in the Exhibit 1 - Rent Proposal document. Although the exact budget or award value is not specified in the provided information, interested vendors should expect to invest in cafe equipment, staffing, and inventory while potentially sharing revenue with the Weber County Library. The lease agreement template suggests this will be a comprehensive commercial arrangement with specific terms governing the cafe's operation within the library premises.
