Explanation
Background: This legislation is to authorize and direct the Recreation and Parks Department Director to modify and extend the current REVENUE contract CT01269R with Ruthfield Enterprises, LLC, dba Slabadabado Concessions, to include Airport Golf Course food concessions, which will be vacated after December 31, 2017 because the current concessionaire is unable to complete the last two renewal options of the term - years 2018 and 2019. It is in the best interest of the City to modify with Ruthfield Enterprises, LLC to assume Airport Golf Course concessions for the remainder of the term.
Modifying the contract allows Ruthfield Enterprises, LLC dba Slabadabado Concessions to provide food service at the Airport Golf Course for 2018 and 2019, and will require the vendor to make the annual payments for 2018 of $38,000 and 2019 of $38,000. The extension provides two years at Airport Golf Course ending December 31, 2019.
On September 21, 2017 Ritz Company, LLC gave notice that they would be unable to continue as food concessionaire at the Airport Golf Course after December 31, 2017. Mike Musser, Golf Courses Administrator met with Fred Holyfield of Ruthfield Enterprises and they agreed that it was in all parties’ best interest for Ruthfield to complete the 2018 and 2019 renewal years at the current contracted amount of $38,000 each year.
All other terms and conditions remain the same for Ruthfield Enterprises, LLC dba Slabadabado Concessions, at Champions Golf Course and apply now to include the Airport Golf Course at 900 N. Hamilton Road; Columbus, Ohio 43219.
