BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City has contracted with River Hofbrau NB LLC for food and beverage services at Landa Park Golf Course since 2016 under a revenue-generating concessionaire agreement. Under the agreement, the City receives lease payments based on gross sales generated from the concessionaire’s food and beverage operations.
The current agreement expires August 31, 2026. Earlier this year, the City issued a solicitation to secure a new concessionaire agreement for continued food and beverage services at the golf course. The City issued a Request for Proposals in February 2026 and received three (3) responses on April 14, 2026.
City staff reviewed the proposals based on qualifications, quality of proposed services, costs, and responsiveness. After evaluation, the City is recommending the incumbent River Hofbrau. The evaluation team noted that Hofbrau’s previous experience and success in working with the City combined with their financial proposal was the best value for the City and the Golf Course patrons.
The new contract increases the minimum revenue to the city from 8% of gross sales or $32,000, whichever is greater, to 8% of gross sales or $40,000, whichever is greater, paid monthly. The terms also increase the monthly utility contribution from $400 to $500.
The term of this lease (attached) shall be for two (2) years beginning September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028. This lease may be renewed automatically for three (3) additional one (1) year renewal terms.
