ABOUT
The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority ("NFTA" or "Authority") is soliciting proposals from contractors to provide any combination, or all of:
- freshly prepared food & beverages (restaurant),
- retail (including newspapers, souvenirs, phone & greeting cards, candy, basic traveler health and hygiene products) and machine vending store at various locations herein.
- The Metropolitan Transportation Center (MTC) is located on the first floor of 181 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, NY, 14203.
The NFTA is in the process of updating the public areas of the MTC. One component of our facility enhancement plan is food service for the traveling public. We are interested in proposals to establish a well-managed food, beverage, and traveler services operation at the MTC.
A single provider or closely-aligned partnership is preferred to manage all retail services within the facility, although, stand-alone proposals for each category of services will be considered. The successful proposer will have the opportunity to control their own success and return on their investment in facility improvements, equipment, and development by securing exclusive retail rights to all food service within the facility. The sub-contracting of any aspect of the services requested in the single-provider element will be considered only as a component of any proposal submittal to provide all services requested.
The NFTA is very interested in the development of other consumer products and services that may be a good fit for the MTC. Retail offerings including bike rental and repair, news and lottery ticket sales, dry cleaning drop-off, ATM, and other traveler services may be suggested in your proposal.
The NFTA will lease available shell space for all agreed upon concession area(s) within the MTC. The concession operator will be responsible for all construction, equipment installation, and related furnishing costs, plus all electrical and water utilities used by the contractor in the delivery of proposed goods and services. HVAC within the current footprint of the MTC will be provided by the NFTA within the terms of the agreement.
