Description

Erie County seeks a qualified private company to operate the food‑and‑beverage concession(s) at the Elma Meadows Golf Course for a three‑year term. The concessionaire will run a clubhouse stand and a half‑way house stand during the golf season, provide a minimum menu of soft drinks, candy, coffee, hot dogs, hamburgers, and beer, and may sell or rent golf‑related equipment. Up to three vending machines and one ATM are allowed, subject to County approval. The vendor must obtain all required food‑service and liquor licenses, maintain comprehensive insurance naming the County as additional insured, and provide all equipment, staffing, and daily sanitation. The County will pay only a minimum annual rent of $2,000 (in two installments) and will cover electricity, gas, and waste receptacles. The contract starts around April 1 2026 (approx.) and may be renewed at the County’s discretion. Proposals must be delivered in person by October 30 2026 3:00 PM and include multiple schedules, a sealed rent envelope, and certifications. • Operate concession stands (Clubhouse & Half‑Way House) April 1 – Oct 31, 7 AM‑3 PM minimum. • Provide required menu items, optional golf‑equipment sales/rentals, and up to three vending machines plus one ATM. • Secure all food‑service, health, and liquor permits; maintain insurance and adhere to NYS Sanitary Code. • Submit a complete proposal (coversheet, certifications, rent envelope) in person by the Oct 30 deadline; questions due by Oct 9.

Budget estimate

$15,000 – $200,000

The County’s direct payment is a minimum rent of $2,000 per year (total $6,000 over three years). However, the concessionaire will generate revenue from food and beverage sales, vending machines, ATM commissions, and equipment rentals. Assuming modest sales of $150,000‑$300,000 annually with a net profit margin of 10‑20%, the contractor could earn roughly $15,000‑$60,000 per year after expenses, yielding a total profit range of $45,000‑$180,000 over the contract life. Including the guaranteed rent, the overall earnings could fall between $15,000 (rent‑only scenario) and $200,000 (high‑profit scenario).
