V N A+tlgATEO\ Y c4`1FORa'P City Council Staff Report DATE: September21, 2005 NEW BUSINESS SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO, 3 TO AGREEMENT NO. A4922 WITH SIMAT, HELLIESEN & EICHNER, INC. (SH&E) TO PROVIDE FOR THE CREATION OF AN AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Aviation SUMMARY This action will amend the existing agreement with Simat, Helliesen & Eichner, Inc. (SH&E) to provide for the creation of an Airport Concessions Development Program: RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve Minute Order No. authorizing the City Attorney to prepare Amendment No. 3 to Contract Services Agreement No. 4922 with Simat, Helliesen & Eichner, Inc. to provide for the creation of an Airport Concessions Development Program at a cost not-to exceed $165,000. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. STAFF ANALYSIS: As the Airport embarks on an exciting and significant terminal expansion project, it does so without an overall development plan/program for terminal concessions. In addition to existing concession space, additional concession space has been identified as an outgrowth of the on-going terminal expansion. Given the rate of growth the airport is experiencing (10% in 2004, approximately 5% above the national average) it is imperative that a comprehensive programmatic approach toward concession development & management be implemented, thereby allowing the airport flexibility in the concessions it offers to our customer base. In so doing, the Airport can improve its concession revenue stream as an immediate goal and enhance/improve our customer experience. The primary goal of this proposed work is to produce a program that will Item No. 5 . /��` . City Council Staff Report September 21, 2005 -- Page 2 Arnendment No.3 to SH&E Contract allow both the new and existing concession space to complement each other and to maximize revenue generation and available space for concessions. This program will be; implemented over the next 12 month period, as the Airport continues to grow in response to passenger demand. Recently, SH&E acquired The Center for Airport Management (CAM) which specializes in airport concessions planning. CAM is the concession consultant for a great percentage of the major US airports undertaking significant contemporary concession program development. Large Hub clients include Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Miami, JFK — New York, Boston, Minneapolis — St. Paul, Seattle, Houston, and Cincinnati. CAM's Medium Hub experience includes Portland, Norfolk, San Diego, Kansas City, San Jose, Chicago Midway, Jacksonville and others. Each year CAM takes on a project for a small airport, such as Shreveport, Jackson, Mobile and Eugene, in an attempt to further the industry's understanding of how to create low capital investment- high impact concession programs. CAM's extensive airport experience and proprietary database makes them uniquely qualified to perform this work. In addition, CAM's principal consultant, Mr. Sheldon Klapper, has extensive experience in this field and has presented numerous papers at industry conferences in North America and in Europe. He has co-founded and has chaired airport industry trade association committees on concessions and commercial management, and has served multiple terms on association steering committees. He is the author of the ACI handbook on airport contracting procedures and is a past Chairman of the Board of the ACI Associates. Staff believes that Mr. Klapper's knowledge of concession planning, revenue planning, and concession performance standards combined with SH&E's experience at PSP (4 years of market analysis, mode of operations and processes, in addition to SH&E's recent award of a 1 year extension at PSP for continued work within this arena) will be extremely beneficial. CAM's proposed scope of services is divided into two separate phases. A copy of CAM's proposal detailing their scope of services is attached. In Phase I, CAM will collect data and examine existing conditions at the Airport to determine who and where the customer is. This includes preparing a terminal traffic flow analysis, reviewing any existing survey data and other market research data, and compiling a detailed analysis of concession unit performance. In Phase II, CAM will develop a full set of detailed and objectively measurable operating performance standards that can be used to evaluate the performance of individual concessions. CAM will also develop a tenant improvement checklists designed to assist Airport staff in managing their tenant improvement program. The Airport considered seeking the services of a company outside of SH&E for this particular endeavor. However, staff was unable to find a single consulting firm that has both traffic analysis and concession planning divisions in-house. The CAM division of SH&E uses proprietary databases (developed over the last 20 years using concession City Council Staff Report September 21, 2005-- Page 3 Amendment No.3 to SH&E Contract related information gained from large, medium and small hub airports) to evaluate and design not only concession program sizing and tenant mix, but also to create and monitor concession operating standards. The concession operating performance standards are a core element underpinning subsequent concession tenant lease negotiations and concession process improvements that generates enhanced passenger satisfaction and airport revenue Consistent with the City of Palm Springs Procurement Ordinance (Section 7.04.030 — Special Expertise Procurement), "a contract may be awarded without competition when it is determined that an unusual or unique situation exists, in that due to experience and expertise demonstrated in prior contracts with the City a particular contractor is uniquely qualified for a particular task that makes the application of all requirements of competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals contrary to the public interest." Stuff believes it would take a joint venture of two or more firms to provide the services as proposed in the proposed scope of services. Since time is of the essence and there is a considerable cost savings associated with an otherwise fragmented approach, it is recommended that these services be incorporated into an expanded scope under Amendment No. 3. The Airport Commission recommended the City Council approval of Amendment No. 3 at its regularly scheduled Airport Commission meeting held on July 6, 2005. A copy of the minutes from this meeting is attached. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is budgeted in the current fiscal year budget (Airport Landside Development Reserve Fund). Richard S.

We have broken the effort into two sequential phases. Each Phase contains one or more major elements. Each Element includes a series of tasks to be accomplished. CAPITAL VS. OPERATING BUDGETS It is normal and customary in airports for many of these Elements to be included in capital budgets rather than operating budgets. For example, most often the planning and financial feasibility elements, and very often the resulting solicitation/negotiation elements for locations in a new terminal are capitalized. Development of property management techniques and products are most often placed in the operating budget. We have identified each individual element in this manner, should you decide to pursue a split capital- operating funding for the total concessionable passenger amenities program development effort. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Pagel of 25 WacNEW130Active-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc PHASE 1 ELEMENT I—CONCESSIONS PLANNING Element I begins with data collection and familiarization with Palm Springs International Airport ("PSP") with particular focus on customer service and revenue. It begins with a detailed site evaluation and preliminary optimal sizing analysis. As SH&E is already familiar with this airport and CAM has already conducted a preliminary walk-thru, a number of tasks within this element can be conducted quickly and efficiently. The overall objective of any concessions planning effort is to develop a program that will generate the highest "capture" and therefore, airport revenue and customer satisfaction. In order to accomplish this, a thorough understanding of the airport's target terminal-user market segments and each segment's response to the existing motivations presented by the present program is critical. This element reviews and interprets the demographics and lifestyle (psychographics) of each segment of its customer base. This includes terminal traffic flow analysis, a review of any existing survey data and other market research data and a detailed analysis of concession unit performance. The objective is to determine who and where the customer is. TASKS A. EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS Objective: Determine how passengers and other target segments respond to existing offerings, as a baseline for determining the gap between actual performance and potential capability and projected performance. DATA COLLECTION AND LOCATION IDENTIFICATION ■ Develop airport/tenant information request form. ■ Catalog data and identify alternative resources for data unavailable from primary sources. ■ Review expansion plans to identify redevelopment opportunities. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 2 of 25 WacNEWBIZ Active-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc ■ Review PSP survey data and other source documentation with regard to demographics, lifestyle, dwell time, meeter-greeters, etc. ■ Existing conditions analysis. — Identify comparables. — Establish benchmark from other airports with similar target market segments, demographics, enplanement (epax) levels. — Analyze per unit historical sales/revenues/transactions by month, type (F&B vs. Retail) and sub-type (e.g. Casual dining vs. bar). ■ Project management, meetings, calls. Product: Informational Request Form, High Level Expansion Ideas (with Updates), Analysis of Survey Data, Site Evaluation and Existing Conditions Review Summary. B. DEMAND ANALYSIS Objective: Determine program size and per unit location and size. GROSS SIZING ANALYSIS ■ Become familiar with PSP's perceptions of and standards for: — Public areas, entry/circulation points. — Food and beverage and retail concession locations, square footage and adjacencies. — Public areas, entry/circulation points. — Facade and display design. — Merchandise or menu assortment and price points. ■ Describe key planning principles. r Identify key design issues. ■ Obtain and analyze target planning year epax projections for two key milestone dates. ■ Analyze epax by carrier, by terminal, and city pairs. Analyze current and historical airline flight schedules, airline and flight load factors, on- board traffic by route, passenger routing information, circulation/congregation patterns by user type. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 3 of 25 M:\acNEWBIZ\Active-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc ■ Study passenger behavioral motivations. — Identify impact of any survey or similar data on concessions plan. ■ Conduct Demand/Capacity Sizing analyses and Optimal Sizing Gap analysis for the 2 key milestone dates. ■ Develop optimal concession sizing recommendations for airside, landside & back of house for each concession type and sub-type. ■ Project management, trip preparation, meetings, calls. Product. Planning Principles, Sizing Approach, Key Design Issues, Optimal Sizing Confirmation and Analysis, Confirmation and Analysis, Survey Impact Report. C. STORE CONCEPT DETERMINATION Objective: Determine type, sub-type, concepts and adjacencies per location. CONCEPT ANALYSIS ■ Conduct concept alternatives analysis. ■ Identify concessions locations and opportunities to create "neighborhoods" and "outposts" of shops as appropriate. ■ Identify type (food vs. retail) and sub-type (e.g. news vs. specialty retail) per location. ■ Identify concept category per location (e.g. woman's apparel vs. fashion jewelry, etc.). ■ Develop a recommended concept mix and adjacency plan. ■ Create concept depth chart per location. ■ Create brand depth chart per concept (e.g. for casual dining - Pucks, Chili's, local brand, etc.) ■ Make adjustments to above, as requested (up to 2 iterations). r Project management, meetings, trip preparation, calls. Product. Concessions Layout and Concept Plan, Depth Charts SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 4 of 25 WacNEWBIZ\Active-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc TRAVEL Up to a total of 2 person-trips assumed for this element. ELEMENT II—LEASE NEGOTIATIONS Upon the completion of Element I, PSP will have a comprehensive understanding of the additional locations that may exist for tenanting by Anton, Paradies and/or others upon the completion of the terminal remodel. It is assumed that both major agreements will have in the range of three to five years remaining once the remodel is complete and new stores are available for construction. With a remaining term of three to five years, depending upon the required capital investment, the existing concessionaires may likely request an extension or a change to existing terms to offset the debt service incurred for an unexpected mid-term tenant capital investment. Analyses will be conducted to ensure a win-win situation for all parties. TASKS TENANT NEGOTIATIONS Objective: Create the appropriate research and analyses to understand the benefits to each party — PSP and the tenant -- of any proposed changes to business terms or spaces for existing concessionaire. NEGOTIATIONS ANALYSIS ■ Develop projections for proposed units. r Develop detailed operating profit and loss proforma for each proposed unit. ■ Review each existing concessionaires proposals, capital expenditure receipts and similar material. ■ Project existing unit profit/loss. ■ Develop business terms with the objective of creating a set through which an average operator can earn an average profit. ■ Create airport negotiation talking points, including lease amendment preliminary key points language. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 5 of 25 M:1acNEWBIZ\Active-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc s Advise during negotiations and conduct additional analyses, as requested (20 hours budgeted). ■ Project management, meetings, calls. TRAVEL Up to a total of 2 person-trips assumed for this element. TIME A total of 500 hours is budgeted for Phase I. PHASE 2 ELEMENT I—OPERATING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS This Element develops a full set of detailed and objectively measurable food/beverage and retail concession Operating Performance Standards, the application of which is designed to produce above average customer satisfaction and revenue production. Concession Planning and Solicitation/Selection (or mid-term negotiation in this case) elements are critical to the success of a concession program. But the Property Management element is the element that lasts many times longer than either of the other two, directly impacts the airport's users, affects the customers' perception of the quality of the airport's passenger amenities, and as a by-product, affects the level of revenue generation of the program. A well-managed unit can produce as much as 25% more revenue than a poorly managed unit. As your airport is, in essence, by virtue of its percentage of gross sales rent formula, a joint venture partner of the concessionaire, improving the performance of concessionaires results in incremental revenue to the airport. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 6 of 25 M:1acNEWBIZ\Active-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc Airport management needs a tool or technique of establishing and communicating clearly articulated and reasonable expected standards of concessionaire operating performance as regards its impact on the airport's customers. As a follow on to that, the airport needs a tool to evaluate operating performance of each individual concession unit according to these standards. Finally, this technique, and the process surrounding it needs to provide an opportunity for a win-win interaction with the concessionaire, with the mutual objective of improving or maintaining performance at the expected levels, so as to enhance revenues for both parties. Invariably we find that the concessionaire general manager has a desire to operate a quality unit and if interacted with appropriately, will work with the airport to achieve this standard. This proposed process supports that objective. This scope outlines the tasks involved in creating and "beta test" implementing a detailed set of as many as 100 measurably objective Operating Performance Standards. While other techniques, such as Mystery Shoppers, may have a role in property management, in the end, a Mystery Shopper's subjective evaluation of, for example, the size of the cashier's smile on a scale of 1 to 5, will not be useful in changing the behavior of a concessionaire who disagrees with the subjective score of the Mystery Shopper. This technique attempts to establish measurable and objective standards of unit operating performance that will result in enhanced customer satisfaction. TASKS A. OPERATING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Objective: Create and implement measurable and objective Operating Performance Standards grouped into three elements: Premises, Product and Personnel that can be used in partnership with the concessionaires to assure continuous high quality customer service and resultant revenues. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 7 of 25 M:\acNEWBIZWctive-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc ■ Measurable, Objective Standards Development — Interview PSP staff, and discuss key performance standards issues that have arisen in recent history. — Develop draft Operating Performance Standards for Retail and Food-Beverage concessions in three major areas: Premises, Product, and Personnel. Each area will have 3 to 4 sub- sections, with multiple standards developed within each sub- section. The standards will describe the performance expectation for each particular subject, and define varying levels of achievement for each. — Develop Operating Performance Standards Evaluation Forms for Quarterly, Monthly (30-minute) and weekly (5-minute "Quick Check") walk-throughs ("audits"). These forms will be utilized by airport staff and by concessionaire managers as or when they accompany the airport. They will note each area's standard and allow recording of the evaluation score. They will be designed to identify "must pass" items, as well as variable achievement level items. The total concessionaire all-units score will be able to be totaled, and individual issues will be able to be identified. — Conduct a series of Unit Performance Audit "training" evaluations with airport staff. — Participate in initial Performance Audits with up to 2 concessionaire GM's. — Project management, travel preparation, meetings, calls. Product. Operating Performance Standards — Retail, Retail Audit Forms, Operating Performance Standards, Food and Beverage, Food and Beverage Audit Forms B. TRAVEL Up to a total of 1 person-trips assumed for this element. SH&E OTHE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 8 of 25 M:\acNEWBIZActive-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc ELEMENT II-TENANTIMPROVEMENTPROGRAM With new terminal and concourse development and the anticipated new food and beverage and retail units that will be constructed in these areas, PSP will see an increase in the number of required concessions management tasks; particularly during the design, construction and opening periods, There will be lease outline drawings to provide, base building owner shell requirements to complete (a subject of negotiation), a design review process required for tenant improvement work and follow-ups to assure that the construction follows the design and the concept/merchandise mix follows the negotiated agreement for each unit. Each individual space is likely to have at least three design submittals — preliminary, design development and construction documents. TASKS A. EXISTING CONDITIONS Review any existing PSP tenant checklists, guidelines or other documentation related to tenant improvements, design submittal and approval, construction, and maintenance. B. TENANT IMPROVEMENT CHECKLISTS AND PROCESSES PREPARATION Objective: Create a series of detailed "checklists" designed to assist PSP in managing their tenant improvement design, review and approval process and help ensure streamlined and efficient planning and implementation. The checklists will: — Assist in tracking tenant design submittal requirements per PSP's tenant design and procedures standards; — Assist in ensuring that the tenant completes all pre- and post- opening construction requirements prior to and after opening a location. — Assist PSP in thinking through field inspection tasks designed to ensure that the tenant completes all construction related tasks in compliance with PSP's construction procedures. SH&E ©THE CENTER FOR AIRPORT MANAGEMENT, LLC-CONFIDENTIAL Page 9 of 25 M:\acNEWBIZActive-from SH&E\PSP Palm Springs\Scope\Palm Springs Scope v4.doc — Help to ensure that project plan timelines stay on schedule by identifying each step in the process.

CAM's principal, while an executive at the Port of Portland, developed, in 1987, the first comprehensive contemporary concession program at a US airport: the Oregon Market. CAM conducts concession planning and revenue enhancement programs for airports. Many of the concession principles first developed for this project has become the foundation principles of contemporary concession programs across this nation and internationally. These include the emphasis on creating a dense shopping and eating environment, with carefully planned concept adjacencies, the use of specialty retailers and food service vendors, street pricing, the use of strong local and regional "gateway" branding in tandem with national and international branding, the introduction of qualified off-airport retailers and follow-up property management programs, including Store Doctors", designed to assist retailers make the transition from the off to the on-airport environment. We have a detailed understanding of, and experience in, developing vendor selection processes that will meet public policy, airport policy, customer satisfaction and revenue generation needs. We wrote the ACI handbook on concession contracting, and created and directed the ACl/AMAC seminar on the subject. In the process of carefully studying airport user behavior during management of the Oregon Market, and in subsequent years through research programs at The Center, many analytical principles were first developed here at The Center that advanced the state-of-the-art in understanding airport concessions and airport user requirements. These efforts include the advancement of the importance of the concept of Terminal "dwell" time, passenger segmentation, the sales impact of effective product adjacency, the effect of bringing the passenger into "full-contact" with the merchandise, research in the areas of passenger "gate roam" and a number of other concepts designed to increase the conversion of Terminal users into satisfied purchasers of both concessions and services. CAM is the concession consultant for a great percentage of the major US airports undertaking significant contemporary concession program development. Large Hub clients include Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Miami, JFK-New York, Boston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Seattle, Houston and Cincinnati. Our Medium Hub experience includes Portland, Norfolk, San Diego, Kansas City, San Jose, Chicago Midway, Jacksonville and others. Each year we take on a project for a small airport, such as Shreveport, Jackson, Mobile and Eugene, in an attempt to further the industry's understanding of how to create low capital investment-high impact concession programs.
