COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/23/2006
DATE: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 REFERENCE NO.: C-21469
LOG NAME: 250WENS SERVICE
SUBJECT:
Authorization to Enter Into a Contract with Owens Service Company to Provide Electric, Water and
Compressed Air Services for Facility Users and Exhibitors at the Fort Worth Convention Center
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year agreement with Owens Service Company as the
exclusive provider for Electric, Water and Compressed Air Services for exhibitors and facility users of the
Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC); and
2. Authorize the agreement to begin July 1, 2006 and expire June 30, 2009, with options to renew for
three additional one-year periods.
DISCUSSION:
Owens Service Company is recommended as the exclusive provider of Electric, Water and Compressed
Air Services at the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC) for exhibitors and facility users based on its
overall commission structure, value to the customer and experience. Owens Service Company is a local
company that has provided electric service for FWCC clients for 19 years; therefore, it is familiar with the
FWCC facility and its customers.
The FWCC hosts many events that require Electric, Plumbing and Compressed Air Services. In an effort
to provide a higher level of customer service, an RFP was issued to consolidate all services under one
contract. In addition to enhanced customer service, the City's General Fund will receive 15% of all gross
receipts paid to Owens Service Company from $1.00 to $200,000. Beyond $200,000, the City will receive
20% of gross revenues. The FWCC estimates additional revenue to exceed $40,000 in FY2006-07.
A Request for Proposal was issued on January 4, 2006 to solicit an exclusive provider of Electric, Water
and Compressed Air Services. Proposals were received on February 2, 2006 from the following five
companies:
Edlen Electrical Exhibition Services, Inc.
Harper Wood Electric Co. Inc.
Lone Star Electric
Owen Service Company
Trade Show Electrical
Proposals were evaluated and the top two proposers were interviewed based on a predetermined
combination of qualitative and quantitative (point) measures to determine the recommendation for award
of contract. These measures included evaluation of such factors as: experience, reputation, financial

solvency, general ability, and ability to start. Based on the total point distribution of those measures, City
staff recommends award of contract to Owens Service Company. Additionally, the proposal by Owens
Service Company contained a good commission structure to the FWCC and good value to the FWCC's
customers.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - This agreement may be renewed for up to three successive one-year terms at the
City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval.
