Submission Instructions
Description

The City is gathering market information to assess possible ownership, funding, partnership, and operating models for a mobile market serving neighborhoods with limited access to full-service grocery stores. The City has not selected a final operating model, service area, schedule, funding level, or ownership structure, and this is not a procurement solicitation. Respondents are asked to discuss feasible operating and partnership models; vehicle platforms and equipment; food sourcing, inventory, staffing, pricing, payment, routes, host sites, community engagement, regulatory requirements, safety, insurance, risks, costs, sustainability, and implementation timelines. Responses may inform the scope and approach of a potential future procurement. The City will not reimburse response-preparation costs.
