I have an on -going good relationship with the City of Fort Collins, the DBA and Old Town Square Properties during the past 3 years that I will discuss throughout this proposal. Conejo Azul had held the daytime Site 42 in front of Beau Jo's restaurant for 3 years along with a night time vending spot in front of the fountain in Old Town Square for 3+ years. Also, Conejo Azul has been one of the vendors the last 3 years at the Brew Fest, New West Fest ,Old Town Car Show and Fourth of July festivals. Since the "summer season" of baseball tournaments, festivals, and outdoor special events has just passed, Conejo Azul is still current with all licenses and local and state tax documentation. Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to meeting with you in the near future. Jim Lee Conejo Azul Corporation 970.310.5245 COMPATIBILITY 1. Land use — Concessionaires have been a common site at Site 42 for many years in Old Town Fort Collins. Familiarity is the sight of an umbrella with the aroma of hot dogs and brats on this corner and Conejo Azul will, as it has in the past, continue this great tradition for many to use and enjoy. 2. Transportation — Foot traffic is essential to all business in Old Town Square and what better way to spend an evening out but to be caught up in the atmosphere by strolling in and out of shops and stopping to enjoy a freshly made hot dog and people watch. 3. Design — As mentioned, a hot dog stand affixed with umbrella adds allure to the already quaint setting of Old Town Square. Enclosed in the proposal are pictures of Conejo Azul's hot dog cart. Custom made in 2002 (Title enclosed) a classic design blends tactfully and tastefully into the ambiance. 4. Security — Being in the same environment for the past 3 years we have built tradition and relations with customers, employees, and law enforcement. Although situations late at night can get rowdy we have never had any security issues and in case something might occur we always have a cell phone and we are almost always in contact with bouncers of clubs and the police. 5. Parking — Conejo Azul has one vehicle that transports all the necessary equipment for operation. That one vehicle will be parked at a safe distance or at least in the parking structure. 6. Maintenance — Regular maintenance of the hot dog cart ensures safety of our patrons and safe handling of food per the Larimer County Health Code handbook. Conejo Azul will provide an on -site garbage can and knowing what city workers deal with in the early morning hours we always inspect our site for trash and debris. 7. Economic Development — The bottom line is always the most essential when discussing business. Conejo Azul is currently embarking on its 40, year in business and starting and spending its last 3 year in cooperation with the City of Fort Collins has benefited both equally. Revenue in the downtown area has grown with new businesses monthly and the presence of concessionaires has added to this growth. Conejo Azul has and will continue to provide an integral part of food service in Old Town complimenting shops and bars together. 8. Conducive to aesthetics of the area — The design of our cart can flow in the aesthetics of the downtown area mainly because of its low profile construction. The cart measures 7 x 3 ft and blends easily into any situation. 9. Conductive to ambiance of the area — It has come to my attention that a concessionaire has been absent from this spot for some time now and having rented this spot for daytime in the past Conejo Azul will absolutely enhance the gateway to Old Town immediately. 10. Uniqueness of Product — Old Town Square needs the highest quality hot dog and bratwurst stand back on its old corner. Sabrett brand hot dogs are shipped in from New Jersey and are nicknamed "the N.Y. strip of hot dogs" they are that good. Fresh buns made to order by Alberson's bakery compliment what has been called the best hot dog west of the Mississippi. 11. Conejo Azul has been a mainstay in Old Town Square and around the city. We have pleased customer for years and have carried a tradition that was held at Site #2 for around 20 years with the cart Caroline used to run there. Making friends and serving good food has an appealing ring to it and we would like to continue with that tradition for many years.
