Title
Commuter Station Concession RFP Rejection
History
On March 3, 2014, the Village Board approved producing an RFP for multi-year concession services contract for the 143rd and 153rd Street stations and waiving any fees for the duration of the contract. The RFP was issued on May 12, 2014 and a pre-proposal meeting was held on May 20, 2014. Proposals were due Thursday, May 29, 2014.
Two proposals were received by the Village. Only one of the proposals was responsive to the RFP requirements. The non-responsive vendor did not provide any of the requested information and required forms (as is outlined in the attached summary bid tabulation). Amano Vivere Corporation provided the only responsive proposal and met all of the requirements.
Unfortunately, Amano Vivere Corporation had to withdraw the proposal for personal reasons. Following the last Board Meeting, an article was written in the Tribune about the need for a vendor at the Orland Park stations. We have received several calls inquiring about the contract.
The proposals received in this last RFP need to be formally rejected at this time. A new RFP will be issued and a recommendation from that RFP will be brought to the Finance Committee as soon as possible.

Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve rejecting all commuter station concession services proposals for the 143rd and 153rd stations received in response to the RFP issued by the Village.
