MPRB SEEKING OPERATORS OF LAKE HARRIET CONCESSIONS

Park Watch has learned that on May 14, 2010, the Park Board issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the management of the Lake Harriet Concessions beginning with the 2011 season. The proposals are due July 9, 2010. For more information, see http://www.minneapolisparks.org/default.asp?PageID=52&prid=1246

Park Watch will continue to monitor and report on the process of finding and contracting with a new vendor for Lake Harriet.

Currently, the concessions at Lake Harriet are being operated by Wheel Fun which has a one year contract with the Park Board. Park Watch has submitted a Data Practices Request for the signed 2010 season agreement with Wheel Fun, but has not yet received the requested agreement.
