City of Long Beach
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

 

INTENT

The City of Long Beach is seeking proposals from qualified vendors capable of operating a water taxi service (the “Water Taxi Service”) located in the City of Long Beach adjacent to the City’s Recreation Complex along West Bay Drive.  

 

The primary purpose of the Water Taxi Service is to provide City residents and visitors with services that will build upon the identity of the City of Long Beach as a recreational destination and encourage residents and visitors to utilize the many amenities available in the City.  The City views the Water Taxi Service as a prime link in the City’s efforts to continue to promote the economic development of the City.  The successful proposer will be required to provide a centralized point of information for its customers relative to the various businesses, restaurants, and historic and cultural assets of the City. 

 

In order to effectuate a successful operation, as part of the contract, the City will consider allowing the Awarded Proposer to provide a small office trailer (no larger than 8’x10’) to be utilized for Water Taxi ticket sales, and utilization of the City’s restrooms for Water Taxi patrons and staff.

 

It is the intent of the City of Long Beach to have the Water Taxi Service operational during the upcoming Summer Season.
