Overview

Summary

The City of Pontiac is seeking to procure services from vendors who will provide high-quality catering and food service for City of Pontiac meetings, trainings, and City-sponsored events of various sizes. Services include diverse menu options (with dietary accommodations), multiple service styles (boxed, buffet, plated, drop-off), timely delivery and setup at City locations, and provision of all necessary equipment and disposables. Vendors must comply with all applicable food safety, licensing, and sanitation regulations, maintain required certifications, and ensure professional staffing, setup, and clean-up. Clear, itemized pricing and invoicing tied to City events and departments are required, with any minimums or surcharges identified in advance. The vendor is expected to maintain consistent quality, respond to feedback, and be available for both regular business hours and, when requested, evening and weekend events.

Background

The City of Pontiac regularly hosts meetings, trainings, community programs, and special events that require reliable, high‑quality catering and food service support. These events vary in size and purpose and may involve elected officials, City staff, partner agencies, and members of the public. To ensure consistency, cost effectiveness, and compliance with applicable regulations, the City is establishing a standardized, city‑wide scope of services for catering and food service. This framework will guide how vendors support City operations, promote fair and transparent procurement, and help departments efficiently plan and execute events that reflect the City’s professional standards.
