Leisure Services Soft Drink Supplies for Concessions

The City of Dothan’s Leisure Services department awarded a contract for the supply of soft‑drink beverages to its municipal concessions. The contract covers a range of products—including 12‑oz cans, 20‑oz PET bottles, and 3‑gal boxed beverages—and requires the vendor to provide delivery, meet minimum‑order requirements, and maintain a local sales/service representative. Buffalo Rock was selected as the awardee, offering a total estimated annual cost of $28,404, which was lower than the competing Coca‑Cola bid. Both vendors contributed promotional enhancements (donated product cases and banners) that were factored into the award scoring. • Scope: Provide assorted soft‑drink products (canned, bottled, boxed) for resale at city‑owned concession locations. • Requirements: Delivery fulfillment, local sales/service representative, and adherence to minimum‑order specifications. • Award Outcome: Buffalo Rock awarded at $28,404 annual cost; Coca‑Cola submitted a higher‑cost bid. • Enhancements: Vendor‑donated cases and promotional banners added value to the award evaluation. • Contract Nature: Fixed‑price supply arrangement with a single vendor; term length not specified.
