Swayne Field Food Hub Pilot Project

The City of Toledo is seeking a qualified vendor to plan, launch, operate, and evaluate a pop‑up produce market pilot at the Swayne Field redevelopment site. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of market set‑up and daily operations, including site layout, procurement and cold‑chain logistics, staffing, point‑of‑sale systems, food‑safety monitoring, and post‑pilot performance reporting. The effort is a ten‑week pilot during the summer/fall of 2026 with an estimated budget of roughly $150,000. • Develop and manage the full market‑operation plan (site design, scheduling, staffing, logistics). • Provide food‑safety compliance (HACCP, temperature checks, traceability) and handle cash/EBT transactions. • Deliver weekly operation reports and a final evaluation report with key performance metrics (sales, attendance, SNAP/EBT usage, community impact).
