Business Opportunities for Recreation and Food Service Concessions in Kirkland's Parks

City of Kirkland seeks concessionaires to operate park concessions (food: food trucks, mobile carts, indoor stands; recreation rentals: kayak, stand-up paddleboard, boat rentals; and product vendors) at specified Kirkland parks and via mobile park-to-park service. Awards are seasonal concession agreements (not leases); bidders must propose site(s), equipment, operations schedule, proposed concession fee (flat or percentage—typical ranges 25–40% of gross), and any tenant improvements. Mandatory requirements include City of Kirkland business license, Seattle-King County health permit for food, specified insurance limits (generally $2M per occurrence/$2M aggregate; $3M aggregate for water activities; $2M products/completed ops for food), successful criminal background checks, and compliance with utilities/operational needs.
