Seaside Park Bathhouse - Stables - Surrounding Grounds

The City of Bridgeport is requesting proposals for development, renovation, and operation of Seaside Park facilities—the bathhouse building, adjacent stable buildings, immediate surrounding grounds, and nearby parking lot—as a restaurant, catering facility, seasonal concession, and/or entertainment venue, with proposals due July 23, 2026.

Respondents may propose development of any single portion or combination of the available areas. The scope requires qualified and experienced parties capable of design, construction or renovation, and operational management. Proposals must address site conditions, utility infrastructure, environmental considerations, operational standards, construction timelines, staffing plans, revenue projections, and ongoing maintenance commitments. Respondents must demonstrate financial capability and relevant experience with similar projects.

Evaluation criteria include project viability, community benefit, economic development potential, and alignment with park objectives. The City retains discretion in award decision-making.
