Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Albuquerque (“City”) Aviation Department (“Department”) is issuing a request for proposals (“RFP”) from qualified offerors (“Offerors”) to provide food and beverage concessions in the main terminal of the Albuquerque International Sunport (“Sunport” or “ABQ”). This RFP is a reissue for the units that were not awarded during the initial food and beverage RFP process. “Proposal” means a submission made by an Offeror in response to this RFP. The City is currently in the process of redesigning the concession program, including a significant increase in the amount of concession space located postsecurity (the portion of the terminal past the TSA screening area). The City is seeking to provide a wide array of food and beverage concession options to meet the traveling public's demand for convenient, reasonably-priced, diverse food and beverage concession offerings at the Sunport. It is the intent of the City to enter into a Food and Beverage Concession and Lease Agreement (''Concession and Lease Agreement'') with multiple qualified companies (“Concessionaires”) that provides Concessionaires with the non-exclusive right to operate a Food and Beverage Concession at the Sunport. The City’s intent is to allow Concessionaires, through a competitive process to operate locations in the main passenger terminal at the Sunport, subject to the reasonable approval of the Department. The City may, in its sole and absolute discretion, implement additional concessions at the Sunport, including but not limited to vending machines and stand alone retail merchandising units (RMUs).
