Farmers Market Services

The City is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive farmers market services, including planning, logistics, vendor recruitment, compliance, marketing, on-site management, and community engagement. The agency needs to establish a vibrant market that attracts residents, businesses, and regional visitors while supporting foot traffic to the nearby commercial district. The selected partner will resolve the operational challenges of market management by overseeing vendor compliance, enforcing market-day protocols, and organizing community-focused programming. The scope of work covers marketing, branding, and promotion through digital platforms, print media, social media, and collaborations with local businesses. The vendor must recruit a diverse mix of certified farmers, food vendors, artisans, and community partners, ensuring priority space for local vendors and verifying all permits and insurance. Additionally, the project requires managing a transparent vendor fee structure subject to City review and organizing community programming such as live music, cultural demonstrations, health workshops, and children's activities. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based solely in the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite at the vendor's own office location. The City has not disclosed a set budget and is looking for proposals to determine the financial structure. Questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted to the agency no later than June 22, 2026.
