Overview

Summary

The Board of Commissioners of Glynn County, Georgia (“the Owner”) seeks proposals from interested qualified vendors to supply and delivery quality live and dead fishing bait for sale at the Blythe Island Regional Park Marina. Potential vendors are required to possess a current bait bond and bait dealer license and must maintain the bait bond and bait dealer license for the duration of the contract period.

Potential providers must be able to successfully pass the County's criminal background check, have at least five (5) years prior experience shrimping and providing bait for local marinas, provide at least three (3) professional references, and have a proven track record for supplying healthy live bait on a consistent as-needed basis.

Background

Blythe Island Regional Park is managed and maintained by Glynn County Recreation and Parks Department. The park is located at 6616 Blythe Island Highway, Brunswick, GA 31523. The Marina is located in the park on the South Brunswick River. Amenities and services include a public boat landing, a boat hoist, limited overnight dockage, and bait sales. The Marina is generally open to the public six (6) days a week, Wednesdays through Mondays (closed Tuesdays). Hours of operation are seasonal with fall/winter hours being 6am to 5pm and spring/summer hours being 6am to 6pm. The Marina is closed on designated County holidays. During open hours, park personnel hoist boats and sell bait including live shrimp (quarts and pints), dead shrimp (pints), and dead squid (pints). Bait for sale is provided by a third party vendor under the terms and conditions outlined in the Blythe Island Bait Sales Concession Agreement. Fees for bait are based on fair market value.

Blythe Island Regional Park Marina provides specific services to residents of and visitors to Glynn County who enjoy boating and fishing. The Board of Commissioners desires to engage the services of a contractor for the purpose of supplying quality live and dead bait for sale. Per the terms of the Concession Agreement, the bait provider will be paid bi-weekly based on a percentage of proceeds from bait sales.

While the number of boaters who use the public boat landing on a daily basis is undetermined, In FY25 and FY26 the Marina has averaged five (5) paid boat hoists per day. The Marina is busiest on holiday weekends (i.e. Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day), during local fishing tournaments, and during prime saltwater fishing seasons. In Fiscal Year 2025, the Marina sold 2,328 quarts of live shrimp ($47,045) and 1,191 pints of dead shrimp ($7,439). In Fiscal Year 2024, the Marina sold 2,758 quarts of live shrimp ($55,160) and 1,638 pints of dead shrimp ($9,828).

The County intends to enter a Blythe Island Bait Sales Concession Agreement with the successful Contractor. The initial term of the agreement shall begin upon execution by both parties and shall remain effective for a period of one (1) year, unless earlier terminated. The Agreement shall include four (4) additional one-year renewal options under the same terms and conditions provided the renewal is approved by the County in writing.

The terms and conditions outlined in the Blythe Island Bait Sales Concession Agreement shall apply.
