Catering Services
The goal of this RFP is to create multiple contracts for catering services, to be used for numerous event types. Event types are typically meetings, luncheons, new-hire orientations, City, state, or federally declared emergency events (pre-, during, and post-event), and trainings. Each event requiring catering services will have a varying number of persons and thus an estimated headcount is not available, nor is a schedule of upcoming events. Event details will be provided to the Company when services are needed.
