AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise for one (1) food and one (1)non-food mobile
vendors at Higgs Beach.
ITEM BACKGROUND: On January 16, 2014, there was a discussion of seeking mobile vendors
at Higgs Beach. On January 31, 2014, the BOCC approved to advertise for mobile vendors at Higgs
Beach. The 2014 Request for Proposals (RFP) was for one (1) food and one (1) non-food retail
mobile concessions, in addition to the pre-existing Salute Restaurant and Tropical Watersports
mobile concession. There were two (2) mobile food respondents and no non-food respondents that
submitted proposals in response to the RFP.
In response to the 2014 RFP, the BOCC approved a Lease Agreement for a Higgs Beach
Concesssion for a mobile food vendor with Pam Uslander on December 10, 2014, as Lessee. The
initial term was for one year with an expiration of December 31, 2015. The Lease could be renewed
for two (2) additional two-year terms. On January 20, 2016, the County extended the original Lease
for six (6) months to evaluate the Lessee's performance before entering into an additional two-year
term. On May 18, 2016, the BOCC approved the first of the two optional two-year terms. A second
Lease renewal on May 16, 2018, exercised the last optional two-year term, which expired on June
30, 2020. On June 17, 2020, the BOCC approved a Third Amendment to the Lease, which extended
the term on a month-to-month basis, not to exceed six months, in order to allow for a new RFP to be
published and a contract awarded.
This is a request for approval to advertise a new RFP to seek proposals for one (1) food and one (1)
non-food mobile concessions at Higgs Beach, since there are no additional extensions available on
the current concession Lease. It has been determined that it is an asset to provide mobile
concessions at the Beach for locals and tourists to enjoy additional amenities during their beach
visits.
