covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of
such action.
7.2 Disputes. In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement,
the injured party shall notify the injuring party in writing of its contentions by submitting a
Claim therefor. The injured party shall continue performing its obligations hereunder so
long as the injuring party commences to cure such default within ten (10)days of service of
such notice and completes the cure of such default within forty-five(45)days after service
of the notice, or such longer period as may be permitted by the injured party; provided that
if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, such
immediate action may be necessary. Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall
be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for cause and to any legal
action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in
the event that the dispute is not cured, provided that nothing herein shall limit City's or the
Contractor's right to terminate this Agreement without cause pursuant to Section 7.8.
7.3 Retention of Funds. Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from
any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any
amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to
compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all
amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor's acts or
omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor's obligation under this Agreement.
In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is
disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis
for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest
because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City
to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of
the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by
a nondefaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a
waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default
must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or
any other provision of this Agreement.

and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and

declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes
of this Agreement.

PHASING OF WORK
Work under this contract will be completed in phases. It is anticipated that Phase I
will include a comprehensive review of the rental car program at PSP, preparation of a
written assessment of PSP's rental car concession program, operations and facilities
outlining recommendations for changes to the program, implementation of a CFC and
completion of an solicitation process for rental car concessionaires. The specific scope of
work to be completed in Phase I is detailed below. At the completion of Phase I, a detailed
scope of work for Phase 2 will be developed. It is anticipated that Phase 2 will include the
planning and implementation of common use rental car facilities and/or a consolidated
rental car facility. Subsequent phases will be determined as appropriate. Each phase of
work will be initiated by a Task Order specifying the scope of work and budget for that
phase.
Phase I
1) Comprehensive Review of Existing Program
■ JFB will review and summarize all current leases, concession agreements,
operating agreements, license agreements, facility leases, ground leases
and any other agreements relating to on-airport and off-airport
concessions/operating rights at PSP. JFB will also review pertinent Airport
and City Ordinances, Rules and Regulations and prior IFB documentation.
JFB will be provided copies or electronic versions of these documents by
Airport staff. JFB document review and due diligence will be forthe purposes
15
JOHN F BROWN_LONG FORM_CONTRACT SERVICE AGREEMENT_090705
of determining current terms of agreement, and identifying business terms,
contract provisions and operating standards and procedures that could be
revised consistent with the Airport's goals and objectives and best practices
at other airports. Our review will also focus on provisions in the agreements
that relate to current and anticipated issues in the airport rental car industry,
including, but not limited to: industry consolidation and "dual branding",
Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings, contract and operating defaults and
enforcement mechanisms, performance bonds and other forms of security,
customer facility fees, rental car company concession recovery fees (newly
permitted in California for business rentals as of 2005), environmental
obligations, common use facilities, and auditing of gross revenues.
• JFB will review relevant documents concerning legal decisions and current
litigation, if any, concerning rental car concessions, business practices and
operations at PSP and in the State of California. JFB will undertake a search
of any current legal proceedings, either state of federal, which may involve
these issues.
• JFB will review documents and talk with staff about any planned changes in
facilities and operations at PSP that could have short or long term impacts on
rental car agreements.
• JFB will meet with appropriate PSP management and staff to determine the
desired goals and objectives for the Rental Car Concession Program, both
for the near term and for the long term. JFB will work to achieve a consensus
where possible and, if necessary, seek to resolve conflicting goals and
objectives.
• JFB will conduct interviews with key operating and properties representatives
from several of the on-airport and off-airport rental car companies to obtain
their input on current concession operations, and suggestions on
improvements to operations and customer service.
2) Written Report and Recommendations to Staff
JFB will draft a written assessment of the Airport's current overall rental car
concession program for presentation to staff. This assessment will:
■ Summarize the key terms of the current operating, lease and facility
agreements and compare them to recent agreements at other airports.
• Detail the current methods of operation of the rental car companies at PSP
and summarize their comments on how they perceive the current rental car
concession program, their suggestions for changes and improvements to
customer service and operations.
• Make recommendations for changes in the terms of agreements, operating
standards, and minimum standards that are consistent with current industry
trends and best practices. These recommendations will take into
consideration the goals and objectives of the Airport as a whole and the
overall rental car concession program in particular. Recommendations will
focus on developing a rental car concession program and document
structure that is consistent, legally defensible, flexible, maximizes revenue to
16
JOHN F BROWN_LONG FORM_CONTRACT SERVICE AGREEMENT_090705
the Airport, and maximizes the use of operating space while not
compromising customer service.
• JFB will present this draft report to staff in written form and at a working
session, where the contents will be discussed and staff's questions and
feedback can be given. JFB will then revise and finalize the report and
provide the final version in Microsoft Word format to the Airport.
3) Development and Implementation of a Customer Facility Fee
JFB will assist with the development and implementation of a Customer Facility Fee
at PSP.
■ JFB will provide information to staff and management on CFCs at other
California airports implemented pursuant to specific California legislation,
including the amounts and the uses for these fees.
■ JFB will advise staff on relevant policy issues and make recommendations to
assist the Airport in determining the desirability and implications of imposing
a CFC. The categories of costs to which a CFC will apply is a key issue JFB
will provide information on how these issues have been dealt with at other
California airports, and make recommendations to the Airport consistent with
its goals and objectives and the overall rental car concession program.
■ JFB will obtain historical data from the Airport and the rental car companies
on gross revenues, transactions, and transaction days. JFB will aggregate
this data and project future transaction and transaction day levels.
• JFB will provide the Airport with financial analysis, using various models
already developed by the John F. Brown Company, showing various
scenarios for sources and uses of CFC revenues at PSP.
• JFB will provide the Airport with examples of ordinances/resolutions
implementing CFCs at other California airports and assist and advise the
Airport on developing a CFC implementation ordinance at PSP. JFB will
draft proposed ordinance / resolution implementing a CFC at PSP.
• JFB will assist staff in developing a strategy for communicating and
presenting the preferred CFC development and implementation methodology
to the rental car concessionaires and other stakeholders.
• JFB will prepare financial feasibility studies required by the Airport to
implement a CFC. The feasibility study prepared pursuant to this task is
intended to be used for internal Airport purposes, and not to support the
marketing and issuance of bond debt.
4) Invitation for Bids (IFB) Process
■ Once staff has determined its desired course of action, JFB will develop a
comprehensive and cohesive strategy for communicating to all stakeholders
the key provisions of the IFB and the rental car concession program that it is
designed to implement. These communications must include the Airport
Commission, Airport Management, Airport legal counsel, other Airport staff,
17
JOHN F BROWN_LONG FORM_CONTRACT SERVICE AGREEMENT_090705
and of course, the potential rental car concessionaires and their various
representatives.
■ With staff, JFB will develop a comprehensive timeline, including milestones
and decision points, for the IFB process.
■ JFB will develop all documents necessary for the IFS process, including, at a
minimum, the invitation,the concession agreement, and any relevant leases
and consortium agreements.
■ JFB will participate in Airport staff meetings to prepare for pre-bid meetings
with the rental car companies; participate in the pre-bid meeting(s); and
participate in staff debriefing sessions after the pre-bid meeting(s). JFB will
assist staff in determining significant issues raised at the meeting(s) and in
separating those issues from mere competitive rhetoric.
■ JFB will assist staff in formulating responses to the rental car companies on
those significant issues and assist the Airport's legal staff with any required
document revisions.
• When bids have been received and awarded, JFB will assist staff in the
facility space allocation process, and assist staff with finalizing all necessary
documents for execution by the concessionaires.
fi) Determine Next Steps and Scope for Phase 2
At the completion of Phase I, a detailed scope of work for Phase 2 will be
developed. It is anticipated that Phase 2 will include the planning and implementation of
common use rental car facilities and/or a consolidated rental car facility. Subsequent
phases will be determined as appropriate.
