New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) is seeking a qualified operator of automated teller machines (“ATMs”) at the St. George Ferry Terminal in Staten Island and the Whitehall Ferry Terminal in Manhattan (collectively, the “Ferry Terminals”). The Ferry Terminals serve the Staten Island Ferry, which is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation. The Staten Island Ferry is the only non-vehicular transportation between Staten Island and Lower Manhattan that is free of charge. Nearly 45,000 passengers ride the ferry each weekday (117 weekday trips), providing a steady and reliable customer base of commuters, tourists, and visitors. The objective of this RFP is to select a respondent to install, maintain, and operate four (4) ATMs — one (1) at the St. George Ferry Terminal and three (3) at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal — under a license agreement (the “License”) with NYCEDC. The License will have a maximum term of five (5) years. No ownership, leasehold, occupancy, or other property interest is being offered or granted under the License.
