Mobile Food Truck Concessions at Lori Wilson Park

Brevard County Purchasing Services, on behalf of the Parks and Recreation Department, is soliciting bids for a Mobile Food Truck Concession at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to operate a food truck within the park during operating hours from dawn to dusk, seven days per week. The successful bidder will provide a diverse menu featuring classic American fare, health-conscious options, kid-friendly choices, barbecue, seafood, and side dishes. The contract is structured for an initial two-year term with potential extensions, including a possible two-year renewal and subsequent one-year term. Vendors must submit their bid by April 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with specific operational requirements including maintaining a clean concession area, accepting multiple payment methods, and complying with background screening and health regulations. Key qualifications include maintaining proper licensing, providing personal equipment, and carrying a $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy. The County reserves the right to approve the menu and inspect operations to ensure compliance with park standards.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises in the procurement documents. The contract allows for individual food truck operators and businesses to compete, with the monthly rent to be determined by the bidder and subject to annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the opportunity includes two designated locations within the park: one near the North parking lot restrooms and another near the Dog Park. Vendors must complete a comprehensive background screening attestation, ensuring all employees, agents, representatives, and volunteers undergo high-level background checks as defined in Florida Statutes Chapter 435.04. The contract requires vendors to submit criminal history information to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and pay associated fees. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the vendor will be responsible for paying monthly rent to Brevard County and covering all operational expenses, including equipment, maintenance, repairs, and utilities.
