The City is seeking a qualified market operator or partner to plan, coordinate, and manage the farmers market component of a six-week pilot

program to be held at Mall C in downtown Cleveland. The pilot is intended to provide employees and others in the downtown area with

access to fresh food and produce during the weekday lunch period in a structured market setting.

The selected vendor would be responsible for organizing and administering the farmers market portion of the pilot, including farmer/vendor

recruitment, weekly market coordination, and ongoing communication throughout the pilot period.

If the pilot is successful, there may be an opportunity for future consideration next year (2027). Any future work would be subject to separate

review, approval, and procurement requirements.
