Explanation
Background:
Two bids were received and opened on Tues., Aug. 15, 2006, at 11a.m., and evaluated on Wed., Aug. 30, 2006, at 2 p.m. for this revenue generating contract. The contract awarded, CT01133R is for three (3) years through December 31, 2009, with the option to renew on an annual basis for two (2) additional years -- 2010 and 2011.
The City has a contract for food concessions with Ritz Catering Company at Airport Golf Course currently in its first year renewal option 2010 (contract completed last year which ended December 31, 2009, with two additional renewal options for 2010 and 2011).
$204,000 was the original five-year contract. This modification decreases it by $4,000, for a new total for five-year contract of $200,000.
The City and Concessionaire agree to modify their existing contract as follows:
1. The required rent (Section 4) shall be decreased by $2,000 each year of the two additional renewable option years, 2010 and 2011, for a total annual payment of $40,000 for 2010 and $40,000 for 2011.
2. The Airport Golf Course will close to the public October 1, 2011 when the Columbus Port Authority begins their south runway expansion project, which is anticipated to be complete in the spring of 2013. Due to the closing of Airport Golf Course prior to the completion of Ritz's five-year contract, it is requested to extend the term of their contract to December 31, 2012. This will allow Ritz to provide on-site food through vending at the course from which staff and project workers may benefit. The Golf Division will not charge any fee/rent for food service provided by Ritz Catering Co. for 2012.
3. All other terms and conditions remain the same for Airport Food Concessions by Ritz Catering Co.
