Legislation
Title: |
|
|
AN ORDINANCE relating to the City of Seattle Department of
Parks and Recreation; authorizing the execution of a seven-year concession
agreement with Alki Crab and Fish’s Company, to provide boat rentals, sports,
fishing equipment and merchandise sales at the Seacrest Boathouse. |
|
|
Summary of
the Legislation: |
|
|
This
legislation authorizes the department to execute a 7-year concession
agreement, with a 3-year option for the operation of a boat and sports
equipment rental service and restaurant at Seacrest Boathouse and Park. |
|
|
Background
(Include justification for the legislation and any funding history, if
applicable): |
|
|
Boat rentals
and retail sales of fishing equipment have been available at Seacrest
Boathouse for many years and have proven to be popular with park visitors;
however, there has never been enough revenue to operate the site at a
profit. The Department publicly
advertised a Request for Proposal (RFP) process in 1999 and Alki Crab and
Fish Company’s response proposed a restaurant at the site in addition to the
fishing and boating operation. Alki
Crab and Fish Company has completed renovation of the kitchen including a
fire wall. |

The
Department of Parks and Recreation will receive a 5% concession fee; plus
concessionaire will provide all equipment, supervision, a rescue boat and
maintenance of the Department’s facility.
The addition of the retail sales of the restaurant will enhance the
revenue at this location by remaining open in the non-fishing months and have
a year-round operation. |
