Title
Concession Services and Sales 2014
History
The village entered into a contract for Concession Services and Sales with Jay Vending effective March 31, 2011. The initial contract was for three years 2011-2013, with an option to renew for two additional years.
Jay Vending has invested over $75,000 in capital improvements to the Centennial Park Aquatic Center concessions venue to improve and expand concession offerings. On a yearly basis, menu options and prices have successfully been reviewed and amended to ensure offerings are desirable and priced appropriately.
In addition to concessions operations at the Centennial Park Aquatic Center, Centennial Park Ball Fields and John Humphrey Complex Ball Fields, Jay Vending has provided concession sales for several Recreation Department special events including: Jr. High Dances, the Great Pumpkin Party, the Chilly Willie Challenge and concerts at Centennial Park West in Colette Highlands.
Due to the cancelation of the February 17, 2014 Parks and Recreation Committee, this item was forwarded directly to Board for consideration.
Financial Impact
The village receives a minimum payment of $25,000 per year payable April 1 of each year. Additionally, the Village receives a 15% commission, paid monthly, for any sales above $200,000.
In 2011 and 2012, the Village received $7,713.32 in commission sales, in addition to the $25,000 yearly guarantee.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve extending the Concession Sales and Services contract with Jay Vending for one additional year, providing services to the Centennial Park Aquatic Center, John Humphrey Complex, Centennial Park, and Recreation Department Special Events for the 2014 calendar year.
