SMARY RECO EDA N
The City of La Porte has requested proposals for food, beverage, and concession items
for the summer season at the Little Cedar Bayou Wave Pool. Request for Proposals were
mailed to seventeen area food service vendors. Proposals were opened on April 16, 2001 and
the City received two proposals; 1) from Casual Catering, the catering company that has
provided concessions at the LCB Wave Pool for the past five years, and 2) from Gulf Coast
Concessions and Catering.
Gulf Coast Concessions and Catering is owned by Kevin O'Brien, who provides
concession operations for the City at Bay Forest Golf Course and at Sylvan Beach Pavilion.
After careful review of the two proposals staff is recommending that the concession contract be
awarded to Kevin O'Brien of Gulf Coast Concessions and Catering. Mr. O'Brien has proposed to
pay the City eighteen percent (18%) of gross revenues from concession sales at the LCB Wave
Pool. Casual Catering proposed to pay ten percent (10%) of gross revenues generated. Gulf
Coast Concessions and Catering ("The Concessionaire") proposes to furnish for sale a variety
of food, snacks, and beverages for customers at the Wave Pool during public swim sessions
(private rentals do not require the services of the caterer). The Concessionaire has been in the
concessions and catering business for approximately twenty years, including the past seven
years at Bay Forest, and two years at Sylvan Beach where they have provided very good
service and quality food. The proposed prices to be charged are the same as those charged
last year by the previous concessionaire.
Staff recommends the award of a seasonal concession operations contract, subject to the
conditions specified, at the Uttle Cedar Bayou Wave Pool to Kevin O'Brien dba Gulf COast
Concessions & Catering.
Action Reauired bv Council:
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement between the City of La Porte and Kevin
O'Brien dba Gulf Coast Concessions and Catering for concession provision at LCB Wave Pool.
