Description

The City of Upper Arlington is soliciting proposals from catering providers, alcoholic beverage providers, or both, to be included on its approved provider lists for the Amelita Mirolo Barn and the Event Center at the Bob Crane Community Center. Providers serve facility renters directly. Catering requirements include off-site food preparation, service and cleanup, and payment to the City of an 18% service charge on full-service food and non-alcoholic beverage billing. A $250 security deposit applies to full-service caterers not already on the City's permitted list. Beverage providers must provide proof of Dram Shop and/or Liquor Legal Liability insurance or other adequate coverage. Alcohol service requires applicable permits, a professional bartender or beverage concierge employed by the contractor, and compliance with restrictions on service areas and sales. Proposals must include at least three similar-venue references from the past three years, menus and pricing, beverage packages, company history, an employee list with a dedicated facility point of contact, applicable licenses and certificates, and the bidding forms. The contract is approximately three years, from March 2, 2027, through March 1, 2030.
