Dear Food Vendor.

 

It is time again to bid on a space for the 2008 Fine Arts Fiesta.

 

Bids must include the full food and beverage menu and prices, linear foot bid (all bids begin at $25.00 per linear foot (a minimum of 10 feet), description of food vendor stand and a photograph of approximately how it will appear.  The exact number of frontage feet is required for the bid.

 

Deadline for bids is April 19, 2008. No exceptions.

 

We are very concerned with food quality, refrigeration, cleanliness and aesthetic presentation of all vendor spaces.

 

In the event two vendors bid with the same food item the higher bid will always prevail. If there is a tie the vendors will have to rebid for the space. Upon a second tie a drawing will be held with both vendors present to see who gets the space.

 

All successful bidders will be notified by letter and or telephone and have 7 days to pay their fee in full.

 

Please he reminded that the required Wilkes-Barre City license fee is  $250.0O and good for all city functions for one calendar year unless you possess a current Wilkes-Barre City catering license. For further information on the city events call Lori at 570 208-4149.
