Specifications include, but are not limited to: Briefly, the purpose of this RFP is to solicit offers from potential vendors who are interested in providing concessions and catering services as the Primary contractor at the Lane Events Center (LEC) for Lane County. LEC is seeking an Exclusive Concessionaire for the LEC campus. The Exclusive Concessionaire will be open for every event that requests concessions or that management of both parties agrees to service and is completely responsible for all sales of food and beverages at the LEC (excluding alcohol sales and catering as defined in section 6.2). Exclusive Concessionaire will need the flexibility to work with certain LEC clients that may request additional service points and food options that better support their event and attendees. LEC is seeking one Primary Caterer. The Primary Caterer will be considered the in-house caterer and will be promoted by LEC for use by LEC clients, and will have the first opportunity to bid on all catering requests received (excluding alcohol sales). LEC will provide clients additional consideration to their rental for those patrons opting to use the Primary caterer. However, LEC will maintain a list of other approved caterers that LEC clients will be allowed to choose from if they do not wish to use the services of the Primary Caterer. If another caterer is chosen by a client, that caterer will perform those services, with no expense or compensation to the Primary Caterer. However, no other caterer will receive primary billing or inclusions with clients. Should another caterer need access to the prep kitchen at LEC to provide services here, they will be required to pay the Primary Caterer for kitchen management/access when on-site based upon a defined fee agreed to by LEC Management and the Primary Caterer.
