Request for Proposals (RFP)

Terminal Vending Services – Cedar City Regional Airport

Issue Date: March 6, 2026

Proposal Due Date: March 13, 2026

1. Introduction

Cedar City Corporation (hereinafter the “City”) invites qualified vendors (hereinafter referred to as the

“Respondents”) to submit proposals to provide massage chair vending services in the main lobby and

boarding area of the passenger terminal. The Airport seeks a reliable, customer-focused partner to

enhance the passenger experience by offering convenient options for travelers. Proposal shall be

submitted to the airport administrative office no later than 12:00 p.m. on Friday, March 13, 2026. This RFP

is intended for massage chairs only.

2. Background

Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC) is owned and operated by the City of Cedar City, Utah. The Airport

provides scheduled commercial airline service and general aviation operations, serving as a key gateway to

southern Utah. The Airport is seeking vending solutions that meet passenger needs while aligning with the

Airport’s commitment to safety, cleanliness, and customer service. The airport’s commercial service

currently includes one airline: SkyWest Airlines, a Delta Connection to Salt Lake International Airport. The

table in Attachment 1 provides passenger enplanement, deplanement and total passenger activity for the

past five and a half years. The airport currently has one operator providing vending services, consisting of

two (2) vending machines outside of the secure boarding area (pre-security). In 2025, additional space was

constructed past the security checkpoint, inside of the secure boarding area for VENDORs to build out

space for a self-contained food and beverage service location and a vending area to serve passengers in the

boarding gate areas. Attachment 2 shows areas where a new post-security vending area could be located.

3. Scope of Services

The City seeks a qualified Respondent with demonstrated experience in the development and operation of

massage chair vending services. The City expects the selected Respondent to meet or exceed the following

goals throughout the term of the agreement:

⁻ Install, operate, and maintain massage vending equipment in designated lobby and gate area(s).

⁻ Provide designs that are attractive to the customers and enhance the terminal experience

⁻ Offer competitive pricing

⁻ Ensure multiple payment methods are accepted (cash, credit/debit, contactless) and refund options

in the event of malfunctions

⁻ Maintain equipment in clean, sanitary, and fully operational condition

The selected Respondent will be required to provide the necessary equipment and power hookups in a

manner that complies with all applicable building regulations and standards. The City may assist in the

relocation of existing utilities and power receptacles at the discretion of the City.

4. Contract Term

The initial contract term will be one (1) year, with the option for renewal upon mutual agreement.

5. Revenue & Compensation

The City shall impose a VENDOR fee or revenue-sharing model (percentage of gross sales or fixed monthly

rental) payable to the Airport monthly. The current VENDOR fee imposed by the city is ten (10) percent of

gross sales. Gross sales shall be reported to the Airport.

6. Hours of Operation

The Airport Terminal is generally open between 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM, excluding Tuesdays and Wednesdays

with the hours limited to 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The passenger gate area is typically open for one (1) hour

and fifteen (15) minutes for each flight departure. The current schedule as of this RFP is shown in

Attachment 3 and is subject to change monthly.

7. Special Conditions

It is important for the Respondent to understand that the airport operating environment presents to the operator a

set of unique challenges that do not exist in a typical restaurant or shopping center setting. Listed below are some

of the key factors that affect VENDOR operations at an airport:

⁻ Customers have a limited amount of time to spend in the boarding area and therefore must be served

quickly.

⁻ Airport customers are primarily airline passengers traveling with carry‐on luggage and in some cases

wheelchairs and strollers.

⁻ Deliveries and maintenance must be made in accordance with City directives, policies, procedures and

meet TSA requirements.

⁻ Airline passenger activity and distribution are subject to change due to a variety of reasons outside of the

Airport’s control, including but not limited to public health emergencies, airport construction and

reconfiguration, changes in airline traffic, airport security requirements, and other economic factors

impacting airline travel patterns.

8. Security

VENDOR shall comply with all City and airport related security regulations as prescribed by 49 CFR Part 1542,

and agree to employ such measures as are necessary to prevent or deter the unauthorized access of persons or

vehicles into the secure area of the airport. The selected Proposer shall comply with Transportation Security

Regulation Part 1542 and City security policies as presently outlined in the Airport Security Plan, as such Plan

may be amended from time-to-time. The selected VENDOR shall pay any forfeitures or fines levied upon it, or

the Airport through enforcement of Part 1542, or any oth5er applicable federal, state, or local regulation, due to
