Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Milwaukee County Department of Parks (“Parks”) seeks to retain a qualified individual or company (the “Proposer”) to manage and operate the Milwaukee County Parks Bradford Beach House and adjacent public beach property (the “Property”). The Proposer shall provide, at a minimum, food and beverage concessions, beach volleyball, and other recreational offerings as may be appropriate for a public beach. Milwaukee County’s park system has long been a source of pride for the communities of Milwaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin. With over 158 parks and parkways totaling over 15,000 acres, Parks offer a source of recreational enjoyment for citizens and visitors alike. The park system began with the creation of the Milwaukee County Park Commission on August 20, 1907. Although parks had already been established within the limits of the City of Milwaukee by the City Park Commission, the visionary new County Park Commission had a much broader goal for the park system. Early Commissioners conceived of a park system that would form a "green belt" or series of scenic drives and parks encircling the County. Parks were located in outlying areas to allow for population expansion. Commissioners selected land not only for its natural beauty and interest, but also for its fitness for various forms of active and passive recreation. Golf amenities include fifteen (15) golf courses and three (3) outdoor driving ranges (Brown Deer Park, Dretzka Park, and Oakwood Park).
