RFP Amendment 1.pdf

This is Amendment #1 to the RFP for Food Service Operations (SDBOR07142026) issued by the South Dakota Board of Regents for comprehensive dining service management across six public universities and two university centers. The amendment corrects and updates operational parameters for South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDM), revising the 3-year enrollment average headcount from 2,186 to 2,522 students. The amendment also modifies dining facility hours and adds a new dining venue: Miner's Shack hours are amended to operate 24/7 Monday through Sunday, and Peking Plate is added as a new facility operating Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM with closure on weekends. Additionally, Peking Plate's hours listed in Table 29 are corrected from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM Monday through Thursday to 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM to maintain consistency across the RFP documentation.

These amendments reflect updates to operational capacity and dining infrastructure at the SDM campus that impact service delivery expectations and staffing requirements for potential food service contractors. The corrections ensure that proposals submitted by October 16, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST are based on accurate enrollment figures and current dining facility configurations. Contractors must account for the expanded operating hours and additional dining venue when preparing campus-specific proposals and financial submissions for the five-year initial contract term with four optional one-year renewals, commencing July 1, 2027.
