Pursuant to Section 1-16 of the Concession Rules of the City of New York, please be advised that the New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS) intends to seek Franchise & Concession Review Committee Approval to enter into a significant Sole Source interim Concession Agreement with FirstFlight Heliports, LLC d/b/a Saker Aviation Services for the Operation of the Downtown Manhattan Heliport at Pier 6 in Manhattan. It is anticipated that this interim Sole Source agreement would provide for one (1) six-month term, with two (2) six-month options to renew at the discretion of SBS. Compensation will be the greater of (i) a minimum term fee of $1,036,811 in the Initial Term (and $518,406 in each Renewal Term) or (ii) Thirty percent (30%) of Gross Receipts per Term. The hearing will be held at 22 Reade Street, Spector Hall, NY, NY 10007 beginning at 2:30pm on July 12, 2023.
This sole source interim concession agreement intends to keep DMH operational while EDC, on behalf of SBS, procures a heliport operator to enter into a new concession agreement, as the former agreement expired April 30, 2023. There is currently a Temporary Use Authorization Agreement in place.
This concession has been determined not to be a major concession as defined in Chapter 7 of the Rules of the City Planning Commission.
