Description

The Wisconsin DNR is seeking proposals from organizations to provide concession services at Yellowstone Lake State Park. The services should include food services, camp store, small convenience items, ice cream, coffee, and baked goods. The successful bidder will operate in a building owned by the Department, which has been empty for over a year. The bidder should not provide boat rental services, bait, and firewood, as these are provided by another organization. Key points to consider: • The building has a kitchen and seating area, and has been used for various concession services in the past, including a restaurant and ice cream shop. • The successful bidder will be expected to provide a range of food and convenience items, and to operate the concession stand for a significant portion of the year. • The bidder should be prepared to provide a detailed proposal, including a business plan, marketing strategy, and financial projections. • The Department is looking for an organization that can provide high-quality services and enhance the visitor experience at the park.

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a clear indication of the expected revenue or profit. However, based on the context, it appears that the concession stand has the potential to generate significant revenue, particularly during peak season. The successful bidder will need to provide a detailed financial plan, including revenue projections and expense estimates. A rough estimate for the budget could be in the range of $200,000 to $500,000 per year, depending on the services offered, the number of visitors, and the pricing strategy. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the quality of the services provided, the marketing and promotion efforts, and the overall visitor experience.
