I've been asked by the city I live in to submit a bid for the spring/summer concession stand. Sounds like a big opportunity. I just wanted to ask for any insight the group has in how to approach this, what types of things to offer. This will be the first time I have participated in a bid and want to make sure I cover all my bases, so any experience or advice would be great.

This just begs the folowing questions, at least to me:
"What has been done and provided by the prior contractors?"
"Who provides the facilities?"
"What are the certification and licensing requirements?"
"What are the liability and insurance requirements?"
"What is the term of the contract?"
"What are the hours and days of operation?"
"What are the accounting and other financial requirements?"
"What are the 'performance standards', if any, and and penalties?"
Too many questions--I have no answers--sorry
But, Govt agencies have attorneys, contracting officers, and all of resources of the entity.
Need to "cross your T's and dot your I's" when dealing with contracts, especially with the Govt'.
