Request for concession proposals at hawthorne hills and MEE-kwon park golf courses

The Ozaukee County Planning and Parks Department is seeking sealed proposals from qualified food service providers to operate concessions at Hawthorne Hills and Mee-Kwon Park Golf Courses. This procurement opportunity allows vendors to submit proposals for either one or both golf course locations, with a comprehensive food and beverage service contract. The proposed lease term spans eight months per year, with a potential contract duration between two to five years, specifically running from April 1, 2019, to December 1, 2023. Prospective vendors must demonstrate expertise in food service management and the ability to provide high-quality concession services for golf course patrons. The proposal submission deadline is November 19, 2018, requiring interested vendors to prepare comprehensive proposals detailing their operational approach, menu offerings, pricing strategy, and qualifications for managing golf course food services. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the county will likely assess proposals based on vendor experience, proposed service quality, financial stability, and alignment with park facility requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The procurement appears open to any qualified food service provider capable of meeting the operational requirements for golf course concessions. Since this is a county-level contract, local businesses may have an advantage, but no formal preference was stated. The contract does not reference an incumbent vendor, suggesting this might be a new concession arrangement for these golf courses. While no specific budget range or award value was provided, the eight-month annual service scope indicates a potentially moderate-sized contract opportunity. Vendors should be prepared to invest in necessary equipment and staffing to successfully operate food and beverage services at these two Ozaukee County golf course locations, with the expectation of generating revenue through concession sales while meeting the county's service standards.
