Analysis Services for the City of Fort Worth's Downtown Hospitality Market in the Overall Amounts Not to
Exceed $162,000.00 and $20,000.00 for Contingency and Staff Time for an Overall Project Amount of
$182,000.00 with the Bureau and the City Each Paying One-Half of the Contract Costs and Adopt
Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt a supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Culture
and Tourism Fund in the amount of$91,000.00 decreasing the assigned Culture and Tourism fund
balance by the same amount; and
2. Authorize the execution of a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Fort Worth, the Fort
Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau and Hunden Strategic Partners, Inc., an Indiana Corporation for
market and feasibility analysis services for the City of Fort Worth's downtown hospitality market in a total
amount not to exceed $182,000.00 with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of
Fort Worth each paying one-half of the contract costs in the amount of$91,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to seek authorization to execute a Professional
Services Agreement (Agreement) between the City of Fort Worth (City), Fort Worth Convention and
Visitors Bureau (CVB) and Hunden Strategic Partners, Inc. (HSP), for market and feasibility analysis of
Fort Worth's downtown hospitality market, including market demand for convention type hotels and a
future expansion of the Fort Worth Convention Center with the CVB and the City each sharing in one-half
of the contract costs.
The proposed Agreement will consist of two phases. As part of Phase I, HSP will provide market and
feasibility analysis services to identify the potential for short-term and long-term growth in the City's
hospitality market and the economic impact of such growth as a result of the anticipated population
increases within the City. If the market and feasibility analysis supports consideration of a future
convention center expansion/modernization project, then the City may authorize HSP to conduct a Phase
II assessment, which would consist of HSP providing preliminary concept designs, cost estimates, and
funding options for enhancements to the Fort Worth Convention Center that will maximize potential
benefits.
The City is the 16th largest city in the United States. It is anticipated that by the year 2040, Fort Worth will
have a population of 1,199,673. A review of major Texas cities indicates that Fort Worth's hospitality
Logname: 25MARKETSTUDY Page 1 of 3
market, as demonstrated by the collection of the Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue is significantly less than its
competitor cities despite strong revenue per available room in the downtown hotel market. Additional
study is necessary to identify the potential for growth of Fort Worth's overall hospitality market and
resultant economic impact.
On May 14, 2013, the Public Events Department and the CVB staff recommended to City Council that a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) be issued for a third-party industry consultant to identify the potential for
the growth and development of Fort Worth's hospitality market.
The City advertised the RFQ in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on July 8, 2013 and July 15, 2013 for the
market and feasibility analysis. Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) were received on August 8, 2013 from
five firms. On August 21, 2013, a selection committee consisting of four members; two each from the City
and the CVB met to review the qualifications and decided to interview the five firms. On September 3,
2013, the selection committee interviewed the five firms and based on the SOQ and interview,
recommends HSP for this project.
The total Market and Feasibility Analysis services cost are not expected to exceed:
Consultant $162,000.00
Contingency, Staff $ 20,000.00
Total $182,000.00
The City and CVB will engage HSP and will assist with the performance of the Agreement. Financial
participation by the City will be in the amount not to exceed $91,000.00 inclusive of the City's $10,000.00
contingency set aside.

Enterprise Ordinance, This work was solicited under the guidelines of the Business Diversity Enterprise
