of ten years to be effective six months after the Omni Fort Worth Hotel opens for business (M&C 20619,
March 29, 2005). At the time the documents were executed, it was anticipated that the Omni would require
six months after the hotel opened to assume the food, beverage and alcoholic operations. Omni has
requested permission to begin concession and alcoholic beverage services on December 1, 2008 and
exclusive catering operations on January 1, 2009.
The existing agreement with Tarrant County Concessions, L.L.C., d/b/a Aramark for concessions and
alcoholic beverage services will expire on November 30, 2008. All catering agreements at the Fort Worth
Convention Center will expire on December 31, 2008.

committed to spend $125,000.00 toward the replacement and repair of current equipment in the concession
premises on or before the commencement of the term. The process to purchase the equipment must begin
in the current fiscal year in order to satisfy the terms of the contract and meet purchasing guidelines.
