City of Geneva Farmers Market Project

The City of Geneva, New York, is seeking proposals from qualified firms to support the implementation of a Farmers Market Resiliency Grant project. The project involves two main objectives: first, developing engineered design plans for a permanent farmers market facility based on a recent feasibility study, and second, establishing a nonprofit organization called Friends of the Geneva Farmers Market, which will focus on branding, outreach, and stakeholder engagement. The contract is expected to last approximately three and a half months, with a project size estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000. The city encourages participation from Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE), Section 3, and small disadvantaged firms, with specific subcontracting goals set at 15% for minority and women-owned businesses and 6% for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Proposals are due by September 9, 2025, at 8:00 PM, and the project is located in Ontario County, Geneva, NY. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with all applicable requirements under the NYS Farmers Market Resiliency Grant Program. The city also encourages firms with relevant experience and those that have not previously undertaken similar contracts within the past five years to respond. Interested parties can contact Jennifer Sutton, the Grant Coordinator, via email or phone for additional information. The project aims to enhance the sustainability and community engagement of the Geneva Farmers Market through strategic planning, design, and organizational development.
