Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Meridian is soliciting proposals from respondents to provide Concession Services at the Julius M. Kleiner Park Concessions Building. Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park is a 60-acre park located at 1900 N. Records Ave. near the NE corner of Eagle Road and Fairview Ave. It is right next door to The Village at Meridian shopping complex which leads to a significant amount of crossover foot-traffic. Amenities at the park include the Meridian Senior Center, Rock of Honor Memorial, two large ponds that are stocked for fishing, five reservable picnic shelters, playground, splash pad, sand volleyball court, bocce ball courts, basketball courts, bandshell and amphitheater, arboretum, and several walking paths. The park is also host to a variety of special events throughout the year including Gene Kleiner Day, Meridian Community Block Party, Treasure Valley Ford and Mustang Club Car Show, and the Meridian Kiwanis Wing-Off among many others. Event organizers are permitted to bring their own food vendors as part of their events. Those vendors, however, are not permitted to offer snow cones or similar products to snow cones such as gelato or ice cream from May 15th – September 15th annually in an effort to protect what’s typically the best-selling product at the concessions stand. The selected concessionaire may not set up booths or an area outside the concessions buildings without permission from the City of Meridian and or the event organizer in which fees may occur. The concessions building is located on the west side of the park in the active recreation complex which includes the playground, splash pad, two picnic shelters, sand volleyball and bocce ball. The interior of the concessions building is 16 ½’ x 22 ½’. Equipment included in the concessions building that will be available for use by the successful proposer include a three-compartment sink, hand washing sink, and mop sink. All other food preparation and storage equipment will need to be provided by the successful proposer.
