About this opportunity

The City of Waco, Texas is seeking a qualified restauranteur to provide comprehensive food and beverage services at Waco Regional Airport through Request for Proposal (RFP #2025-065). The procurement encompasses full-service restaurant operations within a 1,616 square foot space, including a 420 sq. ft. kitchen, 283 sq. ft. serving area, and 913 sq. ft. dining area. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items aligned with daily flight schedules, which typically range from 3-6 flights per day between 6am and 7pm. The contract will be initially structured for 36 months with options to extend for two additional twelve-month terms, with an anticipated start date around December 1, 2023. Proposals are due on October 16, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. CST, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for September 25, 2025, at the Waco Regional Airport. The evaluation will utilize a 100-point scoring system, assessing proposed business plans, marketing strategies, menu concepts, vendor experience and qualifications, and operational management capabilities.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City will offer a Tenant Improvement (TI) allowance of $4 per square foot multiplied by contract term years, which equates to approximately $19,392 for a three-year contract. Rental terms will be structured as the higher of 10% of monthly gross sales or a flat monthly rate of $900. The vendor will also be responsible for managing vending machines in pre- and post-screening areas and providing food and beverage services beyond the security checkpoint. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the proposal requires a comprehensive understanding of airport food service operations and the ability to seamlessly integrate with airport scheduling and security protocols. The total contract value will depend on gross sales, but the initial investment and potential revenue suggest a moderate-scale food service opportunity with growth potential tied to airport passenger traffic.
