The proposal is to provide, operate, and maintain facilities and services for the public at Horace Caldwell Fishing Pier at I.B.

The County has maintained a fishing pier at this location since 1950 and the current pier extends 1,240-feet into the Gulf of Mexico. I.B.

Renovations include space for a walk-in cooler, expanded kitchen prep and cooking area, new bar seating, roll up doors with light kits with additional bar seating along the east wall facing the Gulf. The concession building is adjacent to the Horace Caldwell Pier Observation Deck which is not part of the concession building and may not be used as part of any commercial facility. The Observation Deck may be used by all members of the public, including any guests of the concessionaire. The Agreement term is five (5) years with one five (5)-year renewal option.
