LCB Retail Store - Bucks County

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Department of General Services (DGS) on behalf of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB), is seeking to lease approximately 6,000 to 8,000 net usable square feet of retail space in Richboro, Bucks County for a new Wine and Spirits store. The solicitation (No. 94802) requires potential lessors to provide a location that includes private and/or public parking and meets specific operational requirements for a state liquor retail outlet. Proposals were due by 3:00 P.M. on May 13, 2016, with the intent to establish a 10-year lease agreement that includes two additional 5-year renewal options. Evaluation criteria will likely include location suitability, parking availability, and compliance with prevailing wage requirements for any necessary construction or substantial alterations. Proposers must complete and submit several Commonwealth-required forms as part of their comprehensive proposal package. The DGS reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No information about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure was provided in the documentation. While a specific budget range was not disclosed, the lease will involve a 10-year commitment with potential for 10 additional years of renewals, suggesting a long-term financial arrangement. Proposers will need to factor in prevailing wage requirements when determining their proposed rental rate, which may impact the overall financial considerations of the contract. The location-specific nature of the procurement suggests that only property owners or lessors with suitable retail space in Richboro, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, would be eligible to respond to this solicitation. The procurement is focused specifically on securing an appropriate physical space for a state-operated Wine and Spirits retail store.
