City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and members of the City Council From: Bruce A. Kessel, Finance Director Item Title/Subject: Miscellaneous vending at Community Center Date of Report: December 11, 1998 I have contacted numerous vending companies regarding providing vending for candy, chips, coffee and other miscellaneous vending at the Community Center. In general, a lot of the companies are not interest due to the small volume and/or the fact that we have contracted directly with Coca Cola for soft drink vending. One vending company, M&M vending appears to provide quality machines and service with reasonable prices for the users and reasonable commissions for the City. We are still in the process of contacting other venders to insure that we can obtain the best deal for both the City and the users. We are contemplating a one to three year contract that allows the City to be able to terminate the contract if there are problems by giving a relatively short notice such as 60 days. The first events are tenatively planned for December 30th. It will take approximately two weeks after signing a contract for the vendors to order and deliver the vending machines. Do to the relatively small commissions to be recieved and the ability to cancel a contract on relatively short notice, staff is requesting authorization to select a vendor under the terms noted above and for the mayor and clerk administrator to execute a contract for and on behalf of the City.
