Committed to offering top-tier customer service from the moment doors open, the New Terminal One at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport has launched a request for proposals (RFP) from providers for snow removal and snow melting services both landside on access roadways to the terminal and airside, by gates and ramps.
The New Terminal One, constructed in partnership with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey as part of the agency’s $19 billion redevelopment of JFK Airport, is seeking qualified providers for snow removal services to ensure safe, efficient, and low-environmental-impact snow and ice removal services for all areas in the terminal, including arrival and departure roadways, exterior pathways, and uncovered walkable areas.
The New Terminal One highly encourages participation in the RFP for local, minority, women, and service-disabled veteran-owned business enterprises. In support of the Port Authority’s 30% participation target for MWBE businesses in the JFK Redevelopment, the New Terminal One seeks to work with firms committed to diversity and who have demonstrated success in hiring, training, and retaining minority and women staff.
The all-international New Terminal One, with the first phase scheduled to open in 2026, will be a state-of-the-art gateway to the New York metropolitan area and the United States. The project’s Phase A comprises expansive and light-filled departures and arrivals halls and an initial 14 gates. At full completion in 2030, the New Terminal One will be the largest terminal at JFK Airport, anchoring the south side of the busiest US airport for international traffic.
“Our commitment to excellence at The New Terminal One extends to all areas of our operations, including preparation for hazardous weather and snow to maintain top-tier performance at all times,” said Simon Gandy, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of The New Terminal One. “We look forward to working with the successful partner who shares our vision for service and innovation to ensure our customers receive the experience they deserve at New Terminal One.”
The New Terminal One is seeking a provider of snow removal services covering all aspects of landside and airside areas, with emphasis on those with a track record of safety, exceptional service, and sustainability (utilizing electric/low-emission vehicles where available). RFP participants must provide plans that outline how they will fulfill The Port Authority’s and New Terminal One’s objectives of 30% participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises and 10% from local businesses.
Interested participants may contact [email protected] for further information on how to participate in the RFP. Participants will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
