Description

The City of Worcester solicited vendors to provide mobile food‑service (vending/concession) operations at a roster of municipal parks, fields, and seasonal beach sites for the 2024 summer season. Vendors must operate a self‑contained food truck or trailer, supply all food, beverages (non‑alcoholic), equipment, trash removal, and comply with extensive health, safety, and city regulations. The contract is awarded on a location‑by‑location basis to the highest compliant bid, with service hours from 8 a.m. to sunset daily between May 1 and October 31 (beach sites July 1–August 20). Payments are made in five equal installments from June 1 to October 1, 2024. Preference is given to Worcester‑based minority, women, or veteran‑owned businesses, but there is no mandatory set‑aside.

Contract value

$40,000

The solicitation lists minimum bids for each of the 27 locations ranging from $200 to $1,000, totaling roughly $12,150 in minimum required fees. Actual awarded bids are higher (e.g., $1,305.79 for Crompton Park and $3,008.00 for Elm Park). Assuming an average awarded bid of $1,400 per site (a modest 40% increase over minimums) the total contract value would be about 27 × $1,400 ≈ $37,800. Considering possible additional fees (equipment, permits, insurance) the overall fiscal exposure likely falls between $30,000 and $45,000. A reasonable midpoint estimate is therefore around $40,000.
