ALTERNATIVE FUELING FACILITY HUNTS POINT FOOD DISTRIBUTION CENTER THE BRONX
The goal of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals for the development of a retail fueling facility that supports and encourages the use of sustainable alternative fuels by trucks traveling within Hunts Point in order to reduce the negative impacts of diesel emissions on public health and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. NYCEDC envisions a retail fueling station would provide at least one type of competitively priced sustainable alternative fuel, though proposals that include more than one are strongly encouraged. In addition to the fueling facility, associated uses on site should meet truck drivers needs for basic services, such as restrooms and retail facilities, e.g. a convenience store, grocery store, restaurant, and/or bank. NYCEDC also strongly encourages proposals that include uses complementary to the alternative fueling facility, including, for example: a truck maintenance facility for the conversion of engines to alternative fuels, a truckstop electrification (TSE) facility, a showroom for trucks that use electric power or sustainable alternative fuels, a recharge station for electric vehicles, and/or an organics recovery facility for the production of biofuels or district energy.
NYCEDC seeks proposals from alternative fuel producers and distributors, fueling station operators, developers, not-for-profits, and other entities committed to the development and operation of a fueling facility and associated retail services. NYCEDC anticipates an initial lease term of 30 years with options for subsequent renewals. However, other lease terms will be considered.
