Pacer Cafe Operator

Piedmont Community College (PCC) in Roxboro, North Carolina is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced vendors to operate a cafe on its campus. The selected vendor will be responsible for managing the daily operations of the cafe, including providing a diverse menu of food and beverage options, ensuring a clean and efficient service environment, delivering excellent customer service, and complying with all relevant health and safety regulations. The contract will have an initial term of 3 years, with the possibility of extension. Vendors are required to submit proposals by August 5, 2024, and a mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 18, 2024. PCC will evaluate proposals based on criteria such as the vendor's approach, startup transition plan, menu plans, staff qualifications, and cost. The RFP specifies that vendors must provide a firm, fixed-price proposal for student, staff, and guest meal options, and PCC is open to considering a meal plan for students if included in the proposal.

The RFP encourages HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation and requires vendors to provide background checks for all personnel who will be working on the contract. No incumbent vendor or current contractor is mentioned, and the RFP does not specify a budget range or possible award value. However, the successful vendor will be responsible for providing all necessary equipment and supplies to operate the cafe.
