CONCESSIONS_DESIGN_CRITERIA_MANUAL.pdf

This is a Design Criteria Manual for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's North Terminal Complex (NTC) Concessions Package 9, a Food and Beverage Concession opportunity at Orlando International Airport in Florida. The project encompasses the operation of multiple food service concepts across approximately 22,564 square feet of leasable space located in Airside 4 and the Landside Terminal. The proposed concepts include a casual dining Italian restaurant, gourmet coffee shop, healthy quick service restaurant, chicken-focused food court vendor, open concept cuisine restaurant, smoothie bowl concept, and bagel/deli offerings. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for February 7, 2025, with proposals due by May 2, 2025. The contract term spans 10 years with a target opening date of June 2026, and the Aviation Authority seeks to award the concession to the proposer deemed most qualified, responsible, and responsive to its vision of providing exciting, innovative, and visually appealing dining options that exceed modern traveler expectations.

The initial Minimum Annual Concession Fee is set at $2,670,000, with proposers required to submit a percentage of gross receipts for food and non-alcoholic beverage sales (minimum 10%) and separate percentages for alcoholic beverages. The Aviation Authority has established a 25% Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) participation goal, requiring proposers to meet or exceed this threshold or demonstrate good faith efforts. Proposers must invest a minimum of $500 per square foot for concessions space and $200 per square foot for queuing and seating areas. Sustainability requirements mandate 100% compostable serviceware and prohibitions on single-use plastics. The Aviation Authority reserves the right to limit any single proposer to no more than 20% of the Food and Beverage Program based on square footage to ensure a competitive and varied concession environment. Previous awards have been granted to companies including OTG Concessions Management, Areas MCO 2 JV, LLC, The Marshall Retail Group, and NewsLink of Orlando.
