REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)
FOR THE OPERATION OF A BAR/RESTAURANT/LIVE MUSIC VENUE AT 400 W RICH ST.
Brick Investment Corp (hereafter referred to as BIC) is seeking proposals for the operation of a bar/restaurant/live music venue at 400 W Rich Street in East Franklinton.
All proposals become the property of 400 W Rich Street and BIC and are subject to Public Disclosure laws.
SITE
400 W Rich Street, previously operating as a glass factory and currently home to 46 local artisans operating out of 36 studios, is located in East Franklinton, just west of the Scioto River and minutes from downtown Columbus. The building encompasses over 100,000 square feet, stretching from W Rich to W Town Streets, offers both on and off street parking, and is currently undergoing major renovations to offer both first and second story artists' studios, a woodshop, ceramics and glass studios, gallery, event and retail space, and more. The portion of the property that will house the bar/restaurant/live music venue is located in 9,000 square foot space on the north end, accessible from both Town Street and Lucas Streets.
RFP OBJECTIVES AND REQUIREMENTS
BIC's primary objective is to secure a concession operation that will be financially viable, profitable, have long term sustainability and will be maintained and operated at the highest standards. Additionally,
the operation will need to offer a significant addition to our vibrant and creative community while providing a convenience for the public.
There is a sizable parking lot adjacent to the facility as well as on street parking alongside 3 sides of the property. All utilities and related costs will be the sole responsibility of the concessionaire. All renovations, changes in electrical, plumbing or any other service must be negotiated with BIC and 400 W Rich Street's management. All designs and work to be performed on the structure will require prior approval from BIC and 400 W Rich Street management.
BIC and 400 W Rich Street believe that the implementation of a restaurant and bar service with the ability to offer live music is best suited for this location but will entertain proposals for all food service at this facility.
