The Massachusetts Port Authority (the “Authority”), owner and operator of Boston – Logan International Airport (“Logan Airport”), invites Proposals, from established and responsible business entities (each a “Respondent”) that have demonstrated expertise in concession development and management, for the non-exclusive rights, privileges, and duties of an Airport Concessions Program Manager, as further defined in the Request for Proposals (“RFP”).
The Selected Respondent(s) shall be responsible to develop, lease, market, and manage the Authority’s food & beverage, news, duty free, and specialty concession program in Terminals A, B, C, and E. It is the Authority’s intention to award one Concession Lease Agreement for the Concession Program, but the Authority reserves the right to select more than one Respondent, and to enter into more than one Concession Lease Agreement, to fulfill the duties of the Concession Program Manager. The Term of the Agreement shall be for a period of ten (10) years, commencing on or about July 1, 2017.
The Authority will conduct (i) a Pre-Submission Conference and Networking Session on August 3, 2016, beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the Noddle Island Community Room at Logan Airport’s Rental Car Center, 15 Transportation Way, East Boston, Massachusetts; and (ii) a Site Tour of existing concessions at Logan Airport, on August 4, 2016, beginning at 8:00 a.m. in Logan Airport’s Terminal E, 1st floor arrivals level. For more information and to register for either of the events, each attendee must complete the online registration at http://www.massport.com/events/concession-program-rfp-events/ as early as possible, but no later than Tuesday, July 26, 2016. Questions, please call (617) 561-1662, or via email to Ms. Leah Teeven at [email protected].
Proposals must be received by the Authority at, or prior to, 1:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday, November 15, 2016, at the office of Mr. Michael Grieco, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, Massachusetts Port Authority, Logan Office Center, 1 Harborside Drive, Suite 200S, East Boston, MA 02128-2909.
The Authority is soliciting competitive proposals pursuant to a determination that such a process best serves the interests of the Authority and the general public and not because of any legal requirement to do so. The Authority reserves the right to accept or to reject any or all Proposals for any reason, to withdraw or amend the RFP at any time, to initiate negotiations with one or more Respondents, to modify or amend with the consent of the Respondent any Proposal prior to acceptance, to waive any informality and to effect any agreement otherwise, to re-issue this RFP without change or modification thereto, to issue a subsequent RFP with terms and conditions that are substantially different than those set forth in the RFP, or to cancel the RFP without issuing another RFP, all as the Authority in its sole judgment may deem to be in its best interest.
Copies of the RFP may be obtained on the Authority’s website, beginning on July 18, 2016, at:
