Report
Summary
The Aviation Department seeks to purchase two mobile food and beverage kiosks for Terminal 3 in PHX. These new locations will provide a variety of food and beverage opportunities to passengers, the general public, and airport employees visiting the relocated Airport Security Badging Office in pre-security area of Terminal 3. The Aviation Department will conduct a new Revenue Contract Solicitation (RCS) in 2024 to provide small businesses with an opportunity to participate in the procurement to operate the food and beverage kiosk concessions within the terminal.
These kiosks provide hot and cold food and beverage options and require only electrical power to operate. The purchase of these kiosks will assist the Aviation Department in providing customer service amenity needs in the Terminal 3 pre-security area. The kiosks include all necessary equipment to operate as a food and beverage concession, including large coolers, warming ovens, sanitation stations, and cafe-style seating. The purchase of the kiosks will also reduce some of the capital financial barriers of entry for potential small business operators and reduce the time needed to start food and beverage operations.
Procurement Information
In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, standard competition was waived as a result of a Determination Memo for special circumstances. The mobile stand-alone kiosks will reduce the time to start food and beverage operations in Terminal 3 pre-security area and reduce capital startup costs for small business operators.
Contract Term
The contracts will begin upon City Council approval, for the one-time purchase of the two mobile stand-alone food and beverage kiosks and associated equipment.
Financial Impact
The contract value will be up to $190,000. Funding is available in the Aviation Department's Capital Improvement Project budget.
