AI Contract Overview
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to provide concession services at Yellowstone Lake State Park, under Wisconsin Statute 27.01(2)(f). The contract involves operating food services, including a restaurant, camp store, ice cream sales, coffee, and baked goods within a state-owned building that has been unoccupied for over a year. Historically, the concession stand began as a simple ice cream and soda walk-up and evolved into a family-style restaurant with seating areas and a larger kitchen. Ice cream has consistently been a popular and profitable offering, with many past operators enhancing business through special events such as fish fries and Sunday breakfasts. The park currently lacks any nearby breakfast restaurant, suggesting potential growth opportunities for the new vendor. Small convenience items typically offered in a camp store are also part of the expected services. Certain services—specifically boat rental, bait, and firewood—are excluded from this contract, as they are currently handled by another organization, Friends of Yellowstone Lake. Both nonprofit and for-profit entities are eligible to submit proposals. A vendor conference will occur on May 18, 2026, with written questions due by May 21, and final proposals must be submitted by 2:00 PM on May 29, 2026. Proposals should be sent via email to the point of contact at the Wisconsin DNR, Konrad K. Plachetta. This solicitation presents an opportunity to revitalize the concession services at Yellowstone Lake State Park, leveraging its rich history and popular offerings while meeting the needs of park visitors.
