REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
8683 EVENT BEVERAGE CONCESSIONS – RECREATION CENTERS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Fort Collins (City) is requesting proposals from qualified and competent individuals or
companies to operate an alcoholic event beverage concession at the Senior Center, Club Tico,
and Northside Aztlan Community Center (NACC), using a Tavern License or a Hotel and
Restaurant License, which is to be secured by the Concessionaire, in the Concessionaire's name.
The premises covered in this RFP are the City of Fort Collins Senior Center located at 1200
Raintree Rd. Fort Collins, Colorado, Club Tico, located at 1599 City Park Drive, Fort Collins,
Colorado 80521, and the Northside Aztlan Community Center located at 112 E. Willow St., Fort
Collins, Colorado 80524.
The estimated annual gross revenue for concession operations at the Senior Center and Club
Tico are currently unknown since operation has been different than that of the NACC. The
operation of alcohol at these two facilities has been on the renter to supply the product and City
staff to provide pourers, thus no sales. However, as graph 1 below indicates, NACC alcohol sales
have been highlighted over the last 3 years. Additionally, the number of rentals requesting alcohol
have been illustrated in a graph, along with pre-booked rentals for 2018, as of December 2017.
It is anticipated that the rentals for 2018 will be comparable to 2017. Numbers for 2017 were down
some mainly due to renters not wanting to pay for all the alcohol, but rather wanting bar service
that the City was not able to provide at Senior Center and Club Tico.
