49TH Annual
FELL’S POINT FUN FESTIVAL
2015 VENDOR CONTRACT
Acceptance of Terms:
SPONSORSHIP: Should the festival secure a food/beverage sponsor, Food
Vendors may be required to sell an official festival soda/bottled water at a fixed
price point.
BEVERAGES: Food Vendors may not sell alcoholic beverages of any kind.
WATER: The festival has limited access to water. The festival does not provide
direct hookups. Specific fire hydrants will be dedicated for water use but it is
recommended that you bring your own water source. The festival will turn the
hydrant on/off each day. Vendors should come prepared with equipment such
as hoses and hydrant adapters to “tap” the hydrants.
TENTS: Vendors must provide 10x10 tents with a back rear wall to cover their
spaces. Tents must be properly secured to minimize damage to other vendor’s
property in the event of a windy day.
TRASH REMOVAL: Grounds must be kept clean and free from debris. There will be
designated trash dumpsters provided for Vendors to use during the weekend. At the
end of each night, you may neatly leave bags of trash directly in front of location for
pickup. Vendors are expected to provide their own trash bins and trash bags.
GREASE: Vendors are responsible for the disposal of their own grease. There will
be no grease bins available on site for Vendor use. All grease must remain with
Vendor and be taken off site for disposal after the festival. All food Vendors
using fry oil are to provide ground cover inside their designated area for the
absorption of grease where applicable. No food Vendor will be allowed to open
for business (or stay in business during the weekend) if this ground cover is
not in place. Grease absorbent mats work the best. Absolutely no grease or grey
matter is to be disposed of on the grounds, in portable restrooms or down any
drains. Anyone found doing this will be fined $1,000, immediately be ordered to
leave the event site, and could potentially face criminal charges.
ICE: Ice will be placed in strategic areas. Ice may be purchased for $7.50
(40lb.) bag, and Vendors must provide own transportation of ice from trucks
to their location (i.e. hand truck, cart, wagon, etc.). Vendors must use the
festival’s official ice Vendor.
FIRE MARSHAL: Vendors must meet all requirements set forth by the Baltimore
City Fire Marshal. This includes, but is not limited to, having all labelled fire
retardant structures (tents/sidewalls, etc.) when applicable. All fire extinguishers
must have a valid recharged tag. If you are operating with fryers or grease, you
must have a special K silver extinguisher. If you have any additional questions,
please contact Baltimore City Fire Department, Office of the Fire Marshal, 410 E.
Lexington Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, (410) 396-5752.
INSURANCE: Once accepted to the festival, Vendor must furnish a Certificate of
Insurance no later than September 15, 2015. The required coverage shall not be
less than the following:
• Workers Compensation: Statutory Requirements
• State Disability: Statutory Requirements
• General Liability: $1,000,000 occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate
• Automobile Liability: $1,000,000
Insurance certificates shall name Fell’s Point Main Street, Inc., the Society
for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fell’s Point, Inc. and the Mayor and
City Council of Baltimore City, and all their respective employees, agents and
representatives as additional insured parties.
LIABILITY: Vendor shall bear sole responsibility for any personal injury, loss of
property or merchandise placed upon or sold at or from the Festival, from set up to
break down. Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Fell’s Point Main
Street, Inc., The Society for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fell’s Point Inc.,
their respective employees, agents and volunteers and the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore, its elected/appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers, from
any and all claims, demands, suits and actions, including attorney’s fees and court
costs, arising out of this Contract or as a result of Vendor’s activities on the Festival
grounds and/or within its boundaries (the “Festival Grounds”), including selling,
storage or merchandising, and/or Vendor’s occupancy or use of the Festival Grounds
or any portion thereof.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT PERMIT: All approved Food Vendors will be required at
their own expense to carry a Temporary Food Permit from the Baltimore City
Health Department. You can reach the Baltimore City Health Department at
410.396.4424. The deadline for receiving that permit is September 15, 2015.
Vendors will not be permitted to set up at the 49th Annual Fell’s Point Fun
Festival without a copy of this permit.
NON-COMPLIANCE: Fell’s Point Main Street, Inc. has the right to refuse any
