About this opportunity
The National Park Service is seeking bids for mobile food truck locations within the Charlestown Navy Yard at Boston National Historical Park. The agency is offering two designated 10' by 30' spaces along First Avenue for food and beverage vending, with leases available for up to one year ending no later than April 30, 2025. Interested bidders must meet specific requirements, including having a Certified Food Protection Manager certification and a valid City of Boston Food Truck Permit. The evaluation will focus on the highest responsive bidders per day, with a minimum rent of $40 per shift (defined as up to five operating hours). Key dates include a bid submission deadline of April 7, 2024, with anticipated vendor selection on April 19, 2024, and lease commencement on or before May 1, 2024. Bidders must provide detailed financial information, menu offerings, and proposed operating hours for each day of the week.
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific group and is open to individuals and organizations interested in operating food trucks at the location. No utilities will be provided at the site, so vendors must bring their own generators (limited to 60 decibels) and manage water and waste disposal independently. The National Park Service will assign specific lease spaces, with vendors unable to choose their exact location. Operational hours are restricted to 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and alcohol sales are prohibited. The location is in Boston, Massachusetts, specifically within the Charlestown Navy Yard at ZIP code 02129. Two food truck locations are available, with the potential for multiple vendors to be selected across different days of the week. The solicitation will remain open until all sites are leased for all days of the week, providing flexibility for multiple vendors to secure operating rights.
Notice text
This opportunity is a Request for Bid (RFB). The NPS may accept bids until all sites available under the RFB are leased for all days of the week. In the event the NPS and a selected Bidder fail to execute a lease, or in the event any such lease is terminated resulting in a vacancy, the NPS reserves the right to negotiate a Lease with the next highest Bidder from the accepted pool of Bidders. Until a Lease for any particular site for any particular day of the week is executed, the NPS reserves the right to reject one or all bids, discontinue the solicitation, or terminate Lease negotiations for such a Lease without penalty or liability.
This RFB provides the opportunity for interested individuals and organizations to submit bids to the NPS to lease select designated areas at CNY under the terms and conditions contained in the attached Offered Lease (Exhibit B). Areas available for lease are for terms of up to one year with a lease expiration date no later than April 30, 2025. During the lease term, Lessors will be authorized to use the leased premises during only certain day(s) of the week and during certain hours of the day. See the attached Offered Lease (Exhibit B) for terms of use and occupancy. The Lease(s) negotiated between the NPS and each of the Selected Bidders cannot differ materially from the terms of this RFB.
Property Offered for Lease
There are two lease spaces identified by the NPS as suitable for mobile food and beverage vending located in the Charlestown Navy Yard at Boston National Historical Park. These spaces are located along First Avenue perpendicular to Pier 1, passing the tennis courts, but before the flagpole terrace. Each space is approximately 10’ by 30’. See Exhibit A: Location Maps and Pictures. Bidders are encouraged to inspect site locations prior to submitting bids to ensure the locate is adequate for the Bidder’s needs. The NPS will assign the lease spaces to Lessees; Lessees will not select which lease space they use.
There are no utilities available at the premises to be leased. As water hook-ups and drainage are not available, Lessees will be responsible for providing sufficient water for operations and disposing of gray- and wastewater offsite. As electricity is not provided, gas or propane generators operating under 60 decibels at 50 feet from the truck are permitted in connection with mobile operations.
