Floating Restaurant and Food Service

The government authority located in Yonkers, NY needs a vendor to provide floating restaurant and food service. The buyer requires proposals detailing a restaurant or food-service concept, target market, menu and price positioning, branding, marketing strategy, seasonal operations, special events, anticipated customer draw, and the concept's activation plan. The requested scope includes commercial kitchen design, food service equipment design, architectural design of the restaurant building and enclosure, and securing restaurant operation licenses and permits. The fixed waterfront access point features an approximately 200-foot-long steel bulkhead landing platform, with a gangway accommodating water level changes between the platform and the floating barge or vessel. Eligibility restricts participation to USA-based onshore organizations, and the vendor must perform all work onsite. The buyer seeks proposals for the budget and establishes a five-year contract period. Key dates include a pre-proposal meeting on September 23, 2026, and a final question submission deadline of October 07, 2026.
