DATE: |

The Convention & Sports Facilities Department will present a post-solicitation briefing on the Alamodome Concessions and Catering Services contract which covers all food and beverage service on an exclusive basis for events held in the Alamodome. Included are the rights to provide non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage services, non exclusive services customarily related to catering, and non-exclusive merchandise or novelty sales and services. This item was presented as an individual item in the FY 2015 Annual High Profile Report. The current Alamodome Concessions and Catering Services Contract expires on February 29, 2016.
This post-solicitation briefing will include an overview of the procurement process, estimated contract value, high profile designation, term of the proposed contract award, project scope of services and considerations, scoring criteria, Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) program requirements, local preference program applicability, veteran owned small business preference program applicability, project timeline, and identification of evaluation committee members.
On July 31, 2015, the Request for Proposals (RFP) was released to select a qualified and experienced vendor to provide food and beverage services for events held at the Alamodome. The RFQ was advertised in the San Antonio Express News and on the City’s website. Responses were due on October 16, 2015, and a total of three (3) firms responded to the RFP. A selection committee consisting of an Executive from the City Manager’s office, Convention & Sports Facilities Director, representatives from the San Antonio Convention & Visitors Commission and tenants evaluated and ranked the submissions.
The selection committee evaluated and scored the proposals based on the published criteria which included: experience, background and qualifications; proposed plan; compensation and investment; SBEDA, Local Preference Program and Veteran Owned Small Business Preference Program preference points.
This item is scheduled for Council consideration on January 28, 2016.
