Parks and recreation concessionaire**removed**

White County Board of Commissioners is requesting sealed proposals for concessionaire services at Parks and Recreation facilities in White County, Georgia, with proposals due May 31, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. The County intends to award separate contracts to two vendors: one to operate concession stands at the Parks and Recreation Center Gym and Yonah Preserve Ballfields, and a second to operate concessions at the Tesnatee Sports Complex.

Concessionaire services will operate primarily during basketball, baseball, softball, and soccer seasons. Vendors must hold a valid Business License at proposal submission and comply with all federal, state, and local food service regulations. Required insurance includes statutory workers' compensation and employer's liability coverage of at least $1,000,000, comprehensive general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence. Vendors are responsible for providing all necessary equipment, trained personnel, and maintaining sanitation standards.

Vendor compensation is based on a percentage of gross sales payable to the County for facility use and utilities. Vendors must submit their proposed percentage commission rate in a separate sealed envelope as part of the pricing proposal. Vendors must make weekly payments to the County each Monday for the preceding week's revenue, supported by detailed monthly revenue statements itemizing sales activity per stand.

The contract term is one year from the effective date with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods. The County reserves the right to terminate with thirty days written notice if services are discontinued or if funds are no longer available.

Evaluation criteria are company background (10 points), personnel qualifications (20 points), relevant work experience (25 points), project approach (20 points), and pricing (25 points) for a total of 100 points. Written questions are due May 12, 2023 at 12:00 p.m., with answers posted by May 17, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Site visits may be scheduled by contacting White County Parks and Recreation at (706) 865-5275.
