BACKGROUND:
On November 30, 2021, the Department of Aviation (DOA) hosted a workshop at Terminal 3, on How to do Business with the Airport. Approximately 200 individuals attended the workshop. On January 11, 2022, the DOA notified the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) of the pending release of this RFP (RFP 132-22). The DOA promptly released RFP 132-22 on January 19, 2022.
On February 10, 2022, following a pre-proposal conference for RFP 132-22, a site visit was conducted to the 12 available retail locations. Six locations are in Terminal 1, pre-security and six locations are in the D-Gates at Harry Reid International Airport. On March 31, 2022, DOA received 50 compliant proposals, from six firms. Two review panels consisting of three DOA employees, three outside retail industry professionals and one banking executive reviewed and scored all compliant proposals.
The recommendations of this process, based on the results of the panel members' individual and collaborative review of the written proposals, are as follows:
• Location 7A (Terminal 1, Pre-Security) - Chalo, LLC. (ACDBE firm) was deemed to have the best proposal with their "Chalo & Co." Las Vegas and Nevada themed artisanal merchandise concept.
• Location 7B (Terminal 1, Pre-Security) - The Day One Group (a locally certified DBE) was deemed to have the best proposal with their "The BLVD" concept selling Las Vegas themed gifts and merchandise concept.
• Location 7C (Terminal 1, Pre-Security) - The recommended proposer declined to move forward in the process. This location will be added to the next specialty retail RFP.
• Location 7D (Terminal 1, Pre-Security) - The Day One Group (a locally certified DBE) was deemed to have the best proposal with a licensed "Garrett Popcorn Shops" concept, selling popcorn by the bag, and giftable tins and accessories.

best proposal with a licensed "Vera Bradley" concept, selling bags and travel accessories.
