CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a one-year on-site
Catering agreement at Hutchins Street Square with Wine Valley Catering, Inc.
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2004
PREPARED BY: Tea Silvestre, Community Center Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a one-year
on-site Catering agreement at Hutchins Street Square with Wine
Valley Catering, Inc.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This agreement consists of renting a small office space (no more
than 100 sq ft) at Hutchins Street Square to Wine Valley Catering, Inc. (WVC), of Napa, California, for
$500 per month for one year for facilitation of on-site catering services. This amount includes utilities, but
excludes the cost of a telephone or fax line. The agreement also requires WVC to pay the City a 2%
commission on each non -city event they cater at the Square for use of the kitchen. Renters will not be
required to use WWC for events held at the Square.
The Request for Proposals was approved by Council on January 7, 2004. The Request for Proposals
was distributed to local providers (see attached) and a notice of the availability of the RFP was published
in the Lodi News Sentinel on Wednesday, January 14, 2004. The Community Center Director conducted
an on-site pre -proposal tour on Tuesday, January 13, 2004. Five businesses attended the tour. The City
received only one proposal for this project. Along with the evaluation of the proposal, interviews were
conducted with principals of WVC (the sole applicant). The City's interview team consisted of Tea
Silvestre, Community Center Director and the Hutchins Street Square Foundation Board of Directors.
WVC has a long and solid reputation for providing quality catering services for events of all sizes and
budgets. WVC has provided catering services to several private and business events in and around
Lodi, including many weddings and parties; the Taste of Lodi event; the Legends of Lodi Wine Auction;
Lodi Memorial Hospital; Woodbridge Winery; and the Hutchins Street Square Foundation. We are
confident that the level of their service will compliment the services provided by the Square and its
facilities.
WVC estimates their presence at the Square will provide a small boost to the local economy by
generating approximately 15 part-time jobs (wait staff) over the next year. They have also developed a
strong marketing plan which intends to bring new business to the Square by fostering relationships with
the meeting planners and event planners of local and regional corporations and associations.
FUNDING: None.
