The City of Parksville is seeing requests for proposals for community park food vendors.
In a release, the city said it wishes to provide concession services through mobile vendors in the Parksville Community Park “with a focus on locally grown and nutritious foods.”
Two concession pads are located in the park at 193 Island Highway East and applicants may submit proposals for one or both of the existing pads for either the summer season or off-season.
If an applicant wishes to occupy both pads, separate proposals must be submitted for each pad. If multiple proposals are submitted, each proposal must reference the appropriate pad number as shown on the RFP documents available from city hall or on the city’s website.
