24-299 REntal Car Concession

The Augusta Aviation Commission (AAC), which operates the Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) in Richmond County, Georgia, is seeking qualified vendors to provide rental car concession and lease agreement services at the airport. The AAC intends to award up to six (6) non-exclusive rental car concession agreements for a five (5) year term. Successful vendors will be required to pay a percentage concession fee of at least 10% of annual gross revenues or a minimum annual guarantee, whichever is greater. Additional fees include terminal space rent, ready return space rent, service facility rent, and a customer facility charge. Vendors must have experience in the retail rental car business, a fleet of at least 50 vehicles no more than 3 years old, and gross revenues of at least $1 million for the past 3 years. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) outlines service standards, operating requirements, and allocation of counter spaces, ready return spaces, and service facility bays. Due to inclement weather, the Bid Opening Date has been changed from Wednesday, October 23, 2024 to Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 3:00 p.m., and the Pre-Bid Conference has been rescheduled from Monday, October 7, 2024 to Monday, October 28, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.

The ITB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The ITB does not specify an award value or budget range, but the significant fees and revenue requirements suggest a substantial contract opportunity.
