COA Riverlink Cafe 2023 - City of Amsterdam Riverlink Cafe Vendor 2023

The City of Amsterdam is seeking a vendor to operate the Riverlink Café and Boating Facility at Riverlink Park located on the Mohawk River in the city of Amsterdam.

The City seeks a vendor who can operate a successful restaurant and reliably staff it so that the restaurant and boating facilities are available to boaters and the general public. The City wants to create a positive image and experience for everyone that is using the park.

Riverlink Café is within Riverlink Park and adjacent to an amphitheater/performance space where regular scheduled concerts occur during July and August. The vendor can expect to attract clientele from the well-attended concert audiences.

In addition to the specific requirements listed below, the City is seeking an explicit business plan that will articulate how the vendor proposes to attract clientele above and beyond concert attendees, i.e. non-event evenings, and during normal business hours. The City’s intent is to maximize park visitor traffic with the café as the attraction. The park is open from sun up through sundown seven days a week.
