The city received sealed proposals from Chick-fil-A, Edloe St. Café and Fire House Subs, all wanting to be the pool’s concessionaire.
Council will review the three proposals during tonight’s meeting and may direct City Manager Michael Ross to enter into a contract with one of the vendors.
The three vendors all have catering experience and are within 2 miles of Colonial Park. The vendors all offered a payment proposal to the city of 10-15 percent.
The vendors were given a list of food items that they were asked if they could serve, including fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, health items and soda.
Edloe Street Café said it could serve all menu items. Firehouse Subs said it could serve healthy options and soda and Chick-fil-A said it could serve chicken nuggets, healthy options and soda.
Menu items for the three vendors include entrees ranging in price between $3-$8 and sides ranging in price from $0.75-$3. Beverages ranged in price between $1-$3.
Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays, but may be open to a partnership with Firehouse Subs, according to the bid information.
