Several bids arrived from operators to run the Venice Fishing Pier concession stand after the city canceled the previous contract.

The move follows the sub-lessee Richard Smith ending his association and contractor Nancy Hogan seeking a new agreement while owning most concession equipment. The decline in pier business comes as the city advances a 97000 repair project for the 16 year old structure amid new engineering specs.
