1.0 INVITATION
1.1 VICTORIA AND VICTORIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Victoria, British Columbia, the Provincial Capital city is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island off Canada’s Pacific Coast. Victoria has long been renowned for its old‐world charm and British heritage but the city also has a very vibrant and intriguing cosmopolitan side which includes world‐class accommodations, shopping, spas, and culinary experiences. Victoria’s accolades in 2011 include Conde Naste Travellers Readers’ Choice Awards 3rd Best City in Canada and Best Island in North America and TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards Top 10 Family Vacations in Canada and 5th Best Food & Wine Destination in North America. Victoria enjoys one of Canada’s mildest climates which allows for the enjoyment of its spectacular ocean and mountain vistas along with the ability to enjoy many outdoor activities including world famous gardens, hiking, cycling, and fishing. Not only an attractive city and popular tourism destination, Victoria also has a thriving technology sector that has risen to be its number one private industry. It is also proud of its large student population here to attend top post‐secondary academic institutions like the University of Victoria, Royal Roads University, Camosun College, and the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Victoria is also rich with First Nations history and has a very active and talented arts community.
Victoria International Airport (“Airport”) is operated by the Victoria Airport Authority (“Authority).
Almost half of Vancouver Islands 700,000 population lives around Victoria and the southern end of Vancouver Island. The Airport is primarily an O and D (Origin and Destination) airport and the second busiest (based on passengers) in the Province of British Columbia after Vancouver with 1.5 million passengers annually, and the tenth busiest in Canada.
The Airport is well served with more than 120 daily flights throughout North America.
The Airport was most recently rated one of the top ten most‐loved airports in the world by CNNgo among a list of favourites like Singapore Changhai, Hong Kong International and Zurich.
The Airport was also the recipient of ARN’s (Airport Revenue News) Best Customer Service Award – Small Airport Category in 2010.
Additional information on passenger activity and market information is contained in (Appendices E and F).

Mission and Guiding Principles: Our mission is to provide a safe, secure and efficient airport that supports the quality of life, sustainability and economic development of our region. Our Guiding Principles include safety and security as our number one priority, being a leader in environmental management, delivering exceptional levels of customer service and value while always keeping ease and function top of mind, being considered an employer of choice, working constructively with our stakeholders and community, managing our finances and infrastructure prudently, promoting our region, and always striving to foster leadership and innovation.
Air Terminal Improvement Project: The Authority is embarking on an 18‐month terminal improvement project. This project will see improvements to passenger flow, security screening, and components of our concessions program. At the Pre‐board Screening checkpoint screening lines will increase from three with the capacity for five to handle peak passenger flows. Our current food and beverage concessions program is well represented and successful with our regional White Spot full‐serve restaurant brand and National Tim Hortons and Starbucks brands however, the post‐security food and beverage and retail offerings are not in keeping with passenger expectations. A new larger post‐security food and beverage space will provide an opportunity to create a unique locally focused concept that is reflective of Victoria’s vibrant food scene. On the retail side our goal is to create a better balance by essentially reversing the retail spaces to increase its presence post‐security and reduce its size pre‐security. This provides an opportunity to create a better offering for travelers post‐security that is also more reflective of Victoria and Vancouver Island. Construction of a centralized elevator, escalator and stairs will allow for more intuitive passenger circulation and increased seating and new décor at the bridged gates will improve passenger experience and create a better overall environment.
Project Cost: $8.1 Million Project Start: November 2012 Project Completion: March 2014

1.2 CONCESSION PROGRAM GOALS
The Authority’s overall vision is to be the best airport anywhere and expects its service providers
to be part of a team that delivers that vision. The Authority’s concession goals are to:
Improve existing post‐security food and beverage and retail/duty free by creating a
concession program with exceptional quality while maintaining ease and function for our
customers through the strategic placement of interesting concession concepts, blending a
merchandise mix which reflects the vibrancy of our region, and satisfies the changing wants
of our customers.
Provide quality customer service by encouraging concessionaires to attract and retain well‐
trained, friendly and efficient staff that effectively monitors activities and stimulates sales.
Provide Value in all transactions with pricing at no more than local market prices.
Reinforce our airport’s sense of place by introducing a fresh local food concept airside in
addition to the current regional and national brands located pre‐security and a new retail
offering both pre and post security that differentiates the airport and creates a unique sense
of place that is Victoria and Vancouver Island.
Develop, manage and maintain aesthetically appealing build‐outs that meet the
Authority’s Tenant Design Standards while having an appealing merchandise mix that
satisfies the changing needs of the market, incorporates local flavour and market trends.

1.3 CONCESSION OPPORTUNITIES
This RFP contains two package opportunities at the Airport: Food and Beverage Package One for four (4) locations; and Retail/Duty‐Free Package Two for two (2) locations.

4. Airside Restaurant and Bar
Post‐security 148 Must be built out
Tim Hortons, White Spot, and Starbucks are already built out by the Authority and are operational. (See Capital Investment below for details). The Airside Café post‐security location will be removed during the construction phase and replaced with a new build‐out of approximately 148m2 which the concessionaire must build out to service a restaurant and bar in the lower passenger departure lounge. The Authority is providing the venting, grease trap and the ceiling for post‐security kitchen; however, concessionaire will pay back this capital investment over a (1) year period as noted in the Capital Recovery Fee section.
Retail/Duty Free Package Two:
Two (2) specific retail/duty free locations are available within the Airport as noted below:
# Concession Location Area m2 State of Build Out
1. Retail/Duty Free Pre‐Security 45 Must be built out
2. Retail/Duty Free Post‐Security 135 Must be built out
Construction will require a new build‐out of the existing pre‐security retail/duty free store of approximately 45 m2. The existing post‐security retail/duty free kiosk will be replaced with a new build‐out of approximately 135 m2 (in the current approximate location of the existing Airside Café) to accommodate a larger post‐security retail/duty free offering.
Each package will be evaluated on its own merit. Conditions should not be placed on either package and will not be regarded as a component of the evaluation process. Proponents may propose on one or both entire packages and may be awarded both packages if the offer is deemed the best on the merit of each package offer received. Concessionaires must be prepared to participate on either package if proposing on both packages in the event only one package proposed is chosen.

1.4 TYPE AND DURATION OF AGREEMENT The Authority will enter into a Concession Agreement with the successful Proponent(s) for the following terms:
Food and Beverage Package One: ten (10) year term with Authority option for a two (2) year renewal. The Concession Agreement will allow operational take‐over of existing facilities twenty‐five (25) days from the date that the Concession Agreement is executed; however, the term of the Concession Agreement will not commence until ninety (90) days after the post‐security food and beverage location has been turned over to the successful Proponent(s) or facility opens for business, whichever is earlier. Retail/Duty Free Package Two: seven (7) year term with Authority option for a three (3) year renewal. The Concession Agreement will allow operational take‐over of existing facilities twenty‐five (25) days from the date that the Concession Agreement is executed; however, the term of the Concession Agreement will not commence until ninety (90) days after the post‐security food and beverage location has been turned over to the successful Proponent(s) or facility opens for business, whichever is earlier.
The retail/duty free operator will be required to provide temporary facilities in the post‐security passenger departure lounge as well as in the pre‐security arrivals rotunda during the construction period while the post‐security retail location is being built out. If the Proponent prefers a retail duty paid operation, it may propose this type of concession; however, the Authority will require traditional duty free products such as tobacco, liquor, perfume and cosmetics to have special pricing to provide “same‐as” pricing as if it were duty‐free. Note that the percentage fee will be 15% for the duty paid lower discounted products as well in this case or as proposed and accepted by the Authority.
