3-Exhibit A.2 Emporia Fuel Traffic Counts.pdf .pdf

This exhibit document, related to the Kansas Turnpike Authority's Emporia Service Station Concessionaire contract opportunity, presents historical fuel sales data for the Emporia service area located at milepost 132. The Kansas Turnpike Authority is seeking qualified operators to lease and manage a combined restaurant and fuel facility at this location. The RFP process will evaluate operators based on operating experience, restaurant concepts, pricing proposals, and willingness to contribute to construction costs and ongoing lease rent. The initial contract term is ten years, commencing upon opening of the new combined facility. The KTA intends to consolidate current separate restaurant and fuel operations into a single facility, maintaining the existing fuel operation until the new facility becomes operational, at which point the current fuel facility will be removed.

The fuel sales data presented in Exhibit A.2 reflects actual consumption patterns across fiscal years 2023 through 2026 for both gasoline and diesel fuel. Gasoline sales demonstrate a declining trend, with total annual sales decreasing from 1,894,185 gallons in FY 2023 to 674,675 gallons in FY 2026, while diesel sales similarly declined from 1,090,360 gallons in FY 2023 to 255,236 gallons in FY 2026. This historical consumption data serves as a critical benchmark for prospective operators to evaluate revenue potential and operational requirements. The seasonal variations evident in the monthly data indicate peak demand periods during fall months and lower demand in winter and early spring, information essential for workforce planning, inventory management, and financial projections submitted by bidding contractors.
