Approval of Firm Selection for RFP 2015024 — Lessee to Provide p.m. Concessionaire Services at Sandridge Snack Bar __(memorandum dated February 9, 2015)__________________________________________________ 228-237 Director Brown provided background regarding the concessionaire services at Sandridge Snack Bar; stated that Peggy Cardell and Associates, Inc. was the current tenant whose contract expires on March 31, 2015; reported that a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to obtain submittals from potential lessees for the period starting April 1, 2015; and revealed that after the selection committee's scores were compiled, the overall ranking established Di'Michelli's Catering, Inc. to be in first place. Following the release of the proposed rankings, Ms. Cardell protested the rankings through her attorney. After investigation, Purchasing Manager Jennifer Hyde determined the claims were unsubstantiated and the protest was denied. Director Brown requested the Board authorize staff to move forward with the final rankings established by the committee. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding future upgrades/renovations to the amenities; improving the level of service on the golf course; the food and beverage operation; the interview process; the lack of demographics to support a full service restaurant; the rankings; the amount of commitment/capital each applicant was willing to invest to enhance the operation; and the term of the contract. Bela Nagy, Sandridge Golf Professional, pointed out that the Sandridge Golf concession was originally built 23 years ago as a snack bar, and that it was too small for tournaments and events. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to accept staffs recommendation. Peggy Cardell, 1016 36th Avenue, current tenant Tee Time Cafe, explained why she completed the application as she did; felt the ranking system was unfair; and explained why she submitted a letter protesting the ranking and argued that the opposing bid was not being compliant.
