REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL 3130

ARTICLE ONE - GENERAL INFORMATION

I.

INTENT/PURPOSE

The intent of this Request for Proposal No. 3130 (“RFP”) is to solicit proposals from qualified firms to provide a vending and/or retail foodservice program that will make high quality food and beverage products available for purchase by students, employees and visitors at CCAC’s campuses, centers and office locations, as more fully described below. As a result of the continued challenges associated with conducting in-person classes and activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, the College anticipates that on campus enrollment and activity will remain unpredictable and subject to significant variations in foot traffic throughout the day and over the course of each academic term. The College is therefore interested in receiving proposals that incorporate a robust vending or enhanced vending program, as well as “to go” or prepared meal options, that would best be able to serve and adapt to student and staff demand in this climate. Although the College would prefer to select a single vendor to operate vending and food service operations across all of its locations, it will consider proposals that are limited to specific locations or regions. In addition, the College will consider proposals that provide vending or enhanced vending only at one or more particular locations, as well as those that incorporate some form of retail foodservice operation as an addition or alternative to vending services.

II. OVERVIEW

The Community College of Allegheny County offers credit and non-credit classes throughout the calendar year at its four main campuses and three campus centers (Homewood-Brushton, Braddock Hills and West Hills). Vending services are currently offered at all campus and center locations, as well as the College’s Office of College Services, which houses the College’s financial, IT, HR, and facilities management departments. A foodservice dining program has traditionally been offered at each of the four campus locations and the West Hills Center; however, dining services have largely been suspended at all but the Allegheny Campus location since March of 2020 as a result of the pandemic. In issuing this document, the College seeks to obtain proposals to provide a vending and/or foodservice program that will make high quality food and beverage products available for purchase by the students and employees attending classes and working at all of its locations.
