Gary parks board receives five proposals for Marquette Park concessions
Summary
At the June 9 meeting the parks board received five proposals for the Marquette Park concessions RFP; the board voted to receive the proposals for the director and legal review before selecting a vendor.
A legal staff member told the Gary Board of Park Commissioners on June 9 that five proposals were opened in response to a request for proposals for concessions at Marquette Park Pavilion, and the board voted to receive the submissions for staff review.
The staff member read the five submissions into the record: Kiara Kawa (submitted May 23, 2026), Bling City High Dogs and Polishes (May 26, 2026), Hamat LLC (June 8, 2026), Juice Jung Cafe (date not specified), and Life on the Lake (date not specified). The staff member said, "we have five of those that were opened uh just by me now before the board." The board moved to receive the proposals; roll-call votes were recorded as yes, and the motion carried.
Board members were told the director will review the proposals and follow up with any vendors the department wishes to move forward. No final award or contract action was taken at the meeting; the board received the proposals and referred them to the director and legal staff for review and next steps.
