Saint Paul Parks and Recreation is on the hunt for a new crew to manage the snack bars at their aquatic playlands. The city calls out as they seek proposals to handle the eats and drinks at Como Regional Park Pool, Highland Park Aquatic Center, and Phalen Beach.
Vendors looking to snag a spot in the city's summer sun have until February 9 to throw their hat into the ring. But don't just wing it, the city's got a marathon of meetings for all interested parties. A triple-header of pre-proposal conferences is set for January 23 at each of the sit down for a non-mandatory pow-wow with the parks department—first at 9:00 AM at Highland, 10:00 AM at Como, and an 11:00 AM at Phalen.
If you've got questions buzzing in your head, you better jot them down and send them in by January 26, because that's the cut-off. All the answers you seek will come back at you by February 2, so mark your calendars, concession contenders.
These aquatic spots are summer hotspots, bursting with famished swimmers and sunbathers dying to sink their teeth into something tasty. A successful bid could mean joining the ranks of the Saint Paul summer scene. Interested folk can fish out further details and the formal RFP on the city's website.
So, if you believe your grub can stand up to the summer heat and keep the pool-goers pleased, it's time to put pen to paper and let Saint Paul know what you're cooking up. Get those proposals ready, the deadline will be here before you know it.
