Awarded vendors
- Southern Hospitality Concessions
Description
The City of Mesa awarded a three‑year, commission‑based contract for full concession services at the Mesa Amphitheatre, covering food, beverage, and alcohol sales, POS systems, staffing, inventory, and waste management. The vendor must operate under the City’s liquor license, maintain required permits, provide a Concessions Manager on‑site for each event, and submit detailed revenue statements after each concert. The contract is firm‑fixed‑price in the sense that the City pays a percentage of gross sales rather than a lump‑sum amount, and it includes options for up to two one‑year renewals and a six‑month month‑to‑month extension.
• Scope includes all food‑and‑beverage operations for every event at the amphitheatre (capacity ~5,000).
• Vendor must supply and maintain a digital POS system, secure all necessary permits, and staff events with TIPS‑certified personnel.
• Compensation is based on a commission percentage of gross sales, with the contract evaluated heavily on the proposed commission rates (total possible points 550).
