Request For Proposals To Manage And Operate A Food/ Beverage Or Merchandise Subconcession At Bogardus Plaza

Friends of Bogardus Plaza, a New York State not-for-profit corporation established in 2010, is inviting qualified firms to submit proposals for managing and operating a food, beverage, or merchandise subconcession at Bogardus Plaza, a pedestrian plaza at Chambers Street and West Broadway in Manhattan. This plaza, originally implemented by the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) in 2012, underwent significant renovations and reopened in December 2020. The request for proposals outlines the opportunity for proposers to operate within this vibrant public space, enhancing the plaza's offerings while aligning with community-focused goals. Key dates include a pre-proposal conference on-site at the Bogardus Kiosk scheduled for December 9th at 11 a.m., which is strongly encouraged for interested parties to attend. Any questions about the request must be submitted in writing by December 6th, 2024. Final proposals are due by January 6th, 2025. The solicitation is managed by the NYC Department of Transportation, with Victoria Weil serving as the primary point of contact. This initiative aims to select a qualified operator to contribute to the plaza’s ongoing success and community engagement.
