In late September 2016, designated County staff, per Fresno County Ordinance Code 13.28.020 - “Informal bidding procedures”, noticed over 200 potential vendors via US mail, placed public notices in three public locations, published a notice in the local Business Journal on September 19, 26 and October 3, 2016 and published a notice in the Fresno Bee on September 24, 2016.
On October 12, 2016, the written bid opening and oral bid process was held at the Hall of Records, 3rd floor boardroom. A single vendor was in attendance and the highest bids were provided by El Taconazo Catering at $12,000 per year for Courthouse Park and $5,000 per year for UMC.
The current mobile food vendor agreements, which will terminate on December 31, 2016 are at 18,252 per year for Courthouse Park and $5,000 per year for UMC.
If approved, the License Agreements will become effective January 1, 2017, and will grant the licensee an exclusive right to operate mobile/portable food service units on those County premises for the benefit of employees, guests, and patrons of the County. Both agreements will terminate on December 31, 2021.
