RFP for Food Truck Services at Kinzua Bridge State Park

The PA Wilds Center has issued an RFP for food truck vending services at Kinzua Bridge State Park for the 2017 season. This park is home to the Kinzua Skywalk and a new interactive visitor center. Visitation before the visitor center opened was 160,000/year and is expected climb. We are looking for a vendor who can set up a food truck in the parking lot full time during peak season and on weekends in the shoulder season as weather permits. The ideal vendor will be an individual or firm that can provide great customer service, inspired food and beverage offerings, and an ambiance that fits the park and reflects the creativity, hospitality and resourcefulness that define the Pennsylvania Wilds region.
