About this opportunity
The City of Warwick, Rhode Island is soliciting bids for ice skate rental services at the Greenwood Credit Union City Hall Plaza through Bid2026-216, covering two winter seasons from November 24, 2025 through March 29, 2026, and November 22, 2026 through March 28, 2027, with a potential one-year extension option. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide a comprehensive, turnkey rental operation that includes supplying skates, staffing, equipment maintenance, and customer service during specified public skating hours (weekdays 12PM-10PM, Saturdays 10AM-10PM, Sundays 11AM-7PM). Vendors must submit a detailed proposal addressing company information, experience, operational plan, equipment inventory, and a financial proposal with revenue-sharing terms. The proposal will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, with points distributed across experience and qualifications (20 points), equipment quality (20 points), operational approach and staffing (15 points), safety and sanitation protocols (20 points), and financial proposal value (25 points). The bid requires vendors to provide proof of $1 million in general and workers' compensation liability insurance, with the City of Warwick named as an additional insured. The proposal submission deadline is October 1, 2025, for an outdoor ice rink with a 140-patron capacity.
The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations, nor does it mention incumbent vendors or current contractors. The vendor will operate an outdoor ice rink facility with infrastructure provided by the City, including wifi, phone services, rubber flooring, skate racks with a 360-skate capacity, and a temperature-controlled rental area. The revenue model allows the selected vendor to retain skate rental revenues, with monthly payments to the City of Warwick due within 30 days of each month's close. While no specific budget range is listed, the City does not guarantee a minimum revenue amount to the vendor. Additional facility amenities include potential food trucks, a concession stand, lockers, and an option for patrons to bring their own skates. The vendor will be responsible for removing all skates and merchandise during the off-season at their own expense, and the facility will be available for both public skating and potentially private events, with the vendor receiving two weeks' notice of any schedule changes.
