EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Fresno, Airports Department (Airports Department), solicited proposals through the Request for Proposals (RFP) competitive bid process for both Vending Concession’s (Vending) at FAT and FCH terminals and Airports Administration building on February 4, 2026. This will be the first time that the airport has had a Vending program at the FAT terminal. It was determined that the FCH location was not appropriate at this time but could be considered at a later time. The Airport Administration office was added as an alternative location due to the removal of the FCH terminal. There are three individual Vending Agreements being requested for approval, snacks & drinks, specialty items, and health & specialty. The snacks & drinks will have a term of three years with the possibility of two one-year extensions. The specialty and health & specialty will each have a term of 1 year with the possibility of an extension on a month-to-month basis depending on sales. The current rate is $43.60 per square foot. (annually) for usable concession space. In addition, these proposed square footage rates will also be subject to annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments, which are not to exceed 5.00% annually. The Department is also proposing a 10.00% fee for all gross revenue earned by each concessionaire. The Evaluation Committee reviewed all proposals, conducted interviews with the bidders, and determined the best fit for the department based on each proposer’s bid and formal interview process. There were five vending concessionaires that were invited to participate in the vending process they were: GG Vending Inc. Pharmabox LLC Prepango LLC Swyft Inc. Worknow LLC The Evaluation Committee (Committee) was comprised of the following individuals: Joshua Castellano-Gonzalez, Assistant Director of Finance and Administration for the Airports Department; Melissa Garza-Perry, Airports Properties Manager; Michael Vasquez, Airports Properties Supervisor;; Nicholas Conley, Supervising Engineering Tech, Public Works Department; and Shannon Mulhall, Project Administrator, FAX Department; along with Dyan Ayala, Procurement Specialist, Purchasing/General Services Department as the administrator and oversaw the entire RFP process. Through a comprehensive review and interview process, guided by the Purchasing Division, the Committee determined that WorkNow, Prepango, and Pharmabox, presents the best proposal for Vending Concessions at the FAT terminal and Administration Offices. Each party met the goals and criteria set forth in this RFP that is needed to implement a new vending concessions program for FAT passengers. As the RFP process prohibits the Airports Department’s staff from communicating with any proposers prior to any award(s) being made (except for the RFP interview sessions that were conducted by the Committee), it is the Airports Department’s intention to return to Council for the approval of the final vending concession agreements. BACKGROUND This RFP for new concessions was released on February 4, 2026, It was distributed via Planet Bids as handled by the City of Fresno’s Purchasing Division (Purchasing).
