BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City of Fort Collins (City) is the owner of the building at 212 Laporte Avenue, Fort Collins CO. 80521. This property was recently moved to its current location as part of the City’s construction of a new administration building for Utilities. The building is a historical landmark and the City has designated it as such in 2016. The City has conducted outreach with the community to get input on what the future use of this building should be and it was determined a coffee shop would serve the area well. The building will need to maintain the current exterior features with the exception of adding signage for the new tenant. The exterior has been re-painted as part of the current relocation process. The exterior building dimensions are 20’ x 20’ giving the tenant approximately 400 Sq. Ft. of interior space. The building will have power, water, gas, sewer, phone, cable and internet utilities roughed into the building and available to the new tenant if they choose. The new tenant will be solely responsible for paying for all utilities, phone, cable, internet, etc. The monthly rental for this property will be negotiated with the awarded Concessionaire. Drawings and diagrams of the building and site plans are attached as Exhibit “A”- RFP Site Information. The City expects to enter into a Concession Agreement (Agreement) with the awarded firm or individual as per attached Exhibit “B”, Sample Concessions Agreement, consisting of nineteen (19) pages; however, the City may include additional terms and conditions in the Agreement as deemed necessary. The Concessionaire is responsible for carefully reading all the terms and conditions contained within this RFP and attached sample Agreement including Insurance Requirements. Any objections/modifications to these terms and conditions may result in rejection of the proposal. II. HISTORY The 400 SF building was constructed in 1964 and used as part of the operations for the Poudre Valley Creamery. The building was moved in 2015 as part of an agreement with the Landmark Preservation Commission to allow for construction of the new Utilities building located at 222 Laporte Avenue. III. CONCESSION VISION The vision of the City is to provide a coffee and pastry area to be managed and operated by a Concessionaire.
