1. There have been a couple of scenarios referenced in regard to cafeteria revenue in order to prepare a complete and feasible business plan. Would it be possible to have more detail of revenue history (2018, 2019) to consider with the projec�ons from the 2015 study? Cover Counts and total revenues per meal period for example would be greatly appreciated.

a. We will provide number of customers and average check for breakfast and lunch periods for 2019.

2019 Breakfast Lunch Average Check $ 3.51 $6.14 Number of Customers 378 768

b. The above aligns with the previous stated conserva�ve es�mate of 1,000 customers or �ckets per day.

2. Can we have more detail and informa�on on the actual catering events from the most relevant recent years of opera�on for catered events? Having a breakdown of sales per meal period and type (i.e. coffee and beverage breaks, recep�ons, etc.) would be very helpful along with numbers of atendees and per events and types. The previous informa�on stated 200 atendees per event and around 8 events although a projec�on of 7,000 top 10,000 atendees per year could be expected.

a. The conference program (pre-covid) attracted 7,000 – 10,000 attendees annually for as many as 100-125 individual conferences. Each event may require coffee and lunch service and may require breakfast, reception fare and/or dinners. Time for these events may be varied and service may be required during evening or weekend functions.

The largest conferences held on the campus are seasonal, occurring at the height in August and April. While there have been, since 2011, marginal increases and decreases in the attendees at these events, the average over the four years, exclusive of the years in which Covid restrictions reduced activities across campus, has stayed relatively flat.

The following table depicts the number of attendees for a given year:

Year Number of Attendees Number of Events Average Size Largest Size

2016 8,867 99 90 654 2017 8,455 103 82 894 2018 7,929 91 87 412 2019 10,459 90 116 453

b. Average Number of Conference, Meeting and Event Attendees per Year (Based on the

Historic Data above): 8,928

c. Estimates for anticipated events during the performance of this requirement can be found in Exhibit 04 Facility Information Sheet.

3. Finally, would we be able to present a sample menu outside of the page limit as an addendum so that we can properly showcase our abili�es to plan and market menus for this opportunity?

a. The page limit should be sufficient to present a sample menu.

4. The badging process could take up to 45 days. Is there a compensa�on for having employees on the payroll for such a long �me without income?

a. These should be considered overhead costs and accounted for in the proposal. No addi�onal compensa�on is considered at this �me.

b. Staff that are US Ci�zens with clear records typically can be processed and approved within a 2- to 3- week period.

5. How much �me would the successful bidder be given to determine the items that would be needed for marke�ng and the built out of each loca�on? Some items may take several weeks to order and install.

a. No �me is specified. The vendor should provide the proposed items and �melines in their proposal.

6. The Catering pricing is confusing, it lists a quan�ty on 1 then ask for the unit price and then it wants a total amount price? Some items state a minimum of 4, awhile others state a minimum of 5.

a. In the catering industry, the common food pricing unit is per person. 4 and 5 refer to the actual food selec�ons, not pricing.

7. Is there any forecast or history of sales, that can we used to determine poten�al business opportuni�es.

a. Refer to the response in Ques�on #1.
