Title
NON-MOTORIZED BOATING CONCESSION AGREEMENT
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Address quality of place issues
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2014, the city council approved an agreement for a concessionaire to provide small boat (primarily kayak) rentals and tours to be operated at Lake Sacajawea Park on a trial basis (a temporary permit). An ad-hoc committee made up of department staff, the park and recreation board, and council members met to review the success of the concession. The conversation included community, committee, and department feedback about the operations. It was determined by the committee there was enough success and potential value to try it again. The department moved forward with a request for proposals in April to provide non-motorized boating concessions at the lake.
The city received two proposals from separate parties. The ad-hoc committee weighed each proposal against the required RFP criteria and a vendor was chosen. Attached is the proposed agreement to provide for a temporary permit to Paddle Flatts Kayaking LLC for a term of June 13 through September 30, including a $2.00 per person payment to the city. The agreement spells out the responsibilities of the boating vendor, including but not limited to staffing, insurance, safety, payment, hours of operations, equipment, and other requirements.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve the City Manager to finalize and sign boat rental concession agreement with Paddle Flatts Kayaking, LLC.
