SUBJECT: Post-Solicitation Briefing for a Gas Station Concession at the San Antonio International Airport
The Aviation Department will provide a post-solicitation briefing on the Gas Station Concession at the San Antonio International Airport which will provide gasoline, diesel fuel, a convenience store offering standard inventory and amenities, and a fast food restaurant. This item was presented as an Individual Post-Solicitation item for consideration by the High Profile Contract Council Committee on June 10, 2014.
This post-solicitation briefing will include an overview of the procurement, estimated contract value, high profile designation, term of resultant contract, project scope of services and considerations, scoring criteria, ACDBE program requirements, local preference program applicability, veteran owned small business preference applicability, project timeline, and evaluation committee members.
On November 20, 2013, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was released to select a qualified respondent to provide complete development, financing, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a Gas Station Concession on up to 4.67 acres at the northeast corner of Loop 410 and Airport Boulevard at the San Antonio International Airport.
The RFP was advertised in the San Antonio Express-News on November 20, 2013, on the City’s website from November 20, 2013 to January 31, 2014, TVSA, and Airports Council International website. Responses were due on January 31, 2014, and one firm responded to the RFP. A selection committee consisting of representatives from the Aviation Department and a non-City employee subject matter expert evaluated the proposal.
The selection committee used a consensus scoring method to evaluate the proposal based on the published criteria, which included: experience, background and qualifications in providing retail fueling service, consideration of the proposed plan for site plan, design and operation of a gas station concession, proposed minimum annual guarantee, and ACDBE program compliance. The evaluation committee unanimously voted to recommend the respondent for contract award.
This item is scheduled for a briefing to the Economic and Human Development Committee on May 3, 2016 and tentatively scheduled for Council consideration on May 12, 2016.
