City accepting downtown vending applications

The City of Naperville's process to consider vendors for its 2012 Downtown Mobile Vending Cart Program is now underway. License applications are being accepted through Wednesday, November 2, 2011.

The City has four available locations for free-standing vendor carts, and vendors awarded licenses will be authorized to operate in the 2012 calendar year. Desired vendors should be able to introduce a food element not currently found within the downtown to cater to an unmet need. Proposed vending operations must enhance, not detract from, the pedestrian and family friendly atmosphere of the downtown and also contribute to the overall downtown ambience.

One vendor is currently operating a free-standing vendor cart in downtown Naperville. The City wishes to fill all four of its available locations next year to continue to enhance the overall ambience and vitality of the downtown area by providing an accessible outdoor location for visitors and employees to conveniently dine.

To qualify for the program, vendors must submit an original hardcopy and copy of their proposal, as stipulated in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), to City of Naperville, Procurement Services Team, Attn: Theresa Dobersztyn, C.P.M., CPPB, 400 S. Eagle St., Naperville, IL 60540. Applications are due by 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 2, 2011.
