Evaluation Criteria
Special Considerations It is important to note that the TUL operating environment presents a unique set of challenges that do not exist in a typical retail setting. 1.TUL customers have a limited amount of time to spend in restaurants and shops and must be served quickly; 2.Facilities must be open 365 days a year with operating hours (as established by TAIT); 3.Major flight delays, generally weather related, are not uncommon. This could result in a significant population of restless travelers at TUL at unusual hours. Concession operations plan must be flexible enough to accommodate these delays; 4.Proposers must schedule deliveries for times that do not conflict with TUL’s peak traffic time; 5.Deliveries must unload at an area designated by the Airport.
Special Considerations It is important to note that the TUL operating environment presents a unique set of challenges that do not exist in a typical retail setting. 1.All goods and merchandise entering the airside will be screened; 2.The Airport is a non-smoking facility; 3.Store designs and merchandise displays must clearly accommodate passengers carrying luggage while avoiding creating safety hazards; 4.Training of employees should include knowledge of terminal areas and other services available to travelers; 5.Construction of locations may be subject to constraints due to terminal building construction.
