Description
BID EXTENSION: CORRECTION: BID EXTENSION: This RFP seeks proposals for firms (no more than three (3)) to provide food service operations for selected CUNY campuses that offer or wish to offer food service, with the exception of the College of Staten Island, which self-operates the food service on its campus. These firms, if they meet minimum stated criteria, will be designated “approved” firms from which the CUNY Colleges may choose their food service vendor. The other RFP seeks a proposal for a single firm to provide food service operations for all CUNY campuses. Upon evaluation of the responses to both RFPs, CUNY will make a determination as to which structure - a single firm or multiple firms - is in the best interest of the University, and will cancel the RFP for the other structure. If multiple firms are chosen, those Colleges seeking a food service operator will chose from the list of approved firms and CUNY or the auxiliary enterprise corporation supporting the particular College will enter into a contract on behalf of that College with the chosen vendor.


SITE VISITS will be scheduled at locations, dates and times to be determined by CUNY.
