CONSENT AGENDA INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA F MEMORANDUM Assistant County Administrator / Department of General Services To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: Joseph A. Baird, County Administrator From: Michael C. Zito, Assistant County Administrator Date: June 16, 2014 Subject: Renewal of Concessionaire License Agreement with Treasure Coast Concessions DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On July 11, 2012, following the issuance of a request for qualifications, the County entered into a Concessionaire Agreement with Treasure Coast Concessions to provide concession services at the North County Aquatic Center. In order to evaluate the transition to an outside concessionaire along with the performance of Treasure Coast during an initial trial period, County Staff preferred not to include an automatic renewal provision in the Agreement. In April of 2013, the Agreement was amended to allow the County to sell some concessions directly, or when Treasure Coast was not on site. In July of 2013, the County issued another Request For Proposals ("RFP") for additional food concession services at the beach parks and the Shooting Range, however; no other responses were received and Treasure Coast continued to operate at various County venues at times and locations advantageous to the company and the County. The parties now seek to renew the Concessionaire Agreement with Treasure Coast as Amended under similar terms and conditions, however; since the original Agreement does not provide for an automatic renewal, Staff also seeks the formality of requesting board approval to continue the partnership directly in lieu of issuing another RFP. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: During the initial term and trial period of the Agreement, Staff has been pleased with the quality and presentation of a variety of concession products offered to the public visiting the North County Aquatic Center and other County venues. Treasure Coast recently received a letter of commendation from the Governor's Office for maintaining the highest quality health standards. The ability to provide a hot menu with a variety of compliments ensures a higher level of service to the public. Under the terms of the Agreement, the County receives 20% of the daily gross receipts with no overhead. The County also maintains the right to sell slushies' which have been a customer favorite over the years. Additionally, the County reserves flexibility to operate concessions in house or assign concessions to an outside vendor during special events, camps, and whenever the concessionaire is not on premises. The Agreement has a duration of 2 years with two one-year renewal options. FUNDING: No funding is required under this Agreement.
