City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/14/2010
DATE: Tuesday, December 14, 2010
LOG NAME: 25WRMC-CONCESSION AND ALCOHOL SERVICE
SUBJECT:
Authorize a Contract with Coburn's Catering Service, Inc., to Provide Exclusive Concession and Alcoholic
Beverage Services at the Will Rogers Memorial Center for a Period of Six Months (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
REFERENCE NO.: **C-24648
RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to contract with Coburn's Catering
Service, Inc., to provide exclusive concession and alcoholic beverage services at the Will Rogers
Memorial Center for a term of six months to begin on January 1, 2011 and expire on June 30, 2011 with
options to renew for up to seven additional months.
DISCUSSION:
The contract between the City of Fort Worth and Aramark Sports and Entertainment (Aramark) for the
concession and alcoholic beverage services expired on August 31, 2010. Aramark agreed to hold over
until December 31, 2010 to allow the City an opportunity to solicit competitive bids for a new provider.
On August 11, 2010, a Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 10-0303 was issued for food, beverage and
alcoholic beverage services and related concession and catering services at Will Rogers Memorial Center.
Based on the business model at the Fort Worth Convention Center, exclusive catering was made a
component of the RFP at the Will Rogers Memorial Center.
On November 2, 2010, the City Council rejected all bids based on the business model that included the
exclusive catering component.
In order to allow staff an opportunity to develop a new request for proposals based on an updated
business model, it was necessary to obtain an operator for a short term basis in order to provide the
concession and alcoholic beverage services for the facility's users. Coburn's Catering Service, Inc.
(Coburn's) currently serves as the concessionaire and alcoholic beverage provider for the Fort Worth
Stock Show and Rodeo. They are a Fort Worth, family owned and operated concession and catering
company. Coburn's has operated in the facility during the Stock Show and possesses the equipment
required to provide concession and alcoholic beverage services. Coburn's has agreed to provide the
services at the same rate that had been previously offered by Trinity F&B Services, Inc.
Coburn's Catering Service, Inc., will pay the City the following commissions:
25% of gross receipts of Alcoholic Beverages & Mixed Drinks
25% of food and non-alcoholic beverages at permanent or temporary concession stands
50% of revenue from Third party Vendors
Logname: 1d2
Catering at the facility will remain open to approved caterers who meet the established criteria, agree to
pay the established commission based on gross receipts less sales tax, and have the capacity to provide
health permits and liability insurance as well as have the ability to contract with the City. Council policy
restricts the licensing for the sale of alcoholic beverages to one provider. In 2011 due to the transition of
providers, the City will retain the rights to work through these and other related issues to insure event
requirements are met
CONTRACT TERM — Upon City Council's approval, the contract will begin on January 1, 2011 and end on
June 30, 2011 and excludes the approximately 30 days each year in January and February that the facility
is leased to the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show.
RENEWAL OPTIONS — This contract may be renewed for up to seven additional months at the City's sole
option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has
appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City s obligations during the renewal term
M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by Public Events
Department and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods and services is from
sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
The Will Rogers Memorial Center is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7, but serves Fort Worth residents in
ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that the Public Events Department is responsible for
the collection and deposit of funds due to the City.
