HomeMy WebLinkAbout31 - Concession at Corona del Mar State BeachCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 31 June 12, 2007 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: City Manager's Office Dave Kiff, Assistant City Manager dkiffCaD-citv.newport- beach.ca.us or 949 - 644 -3002 SUBJECT: Award of Concession at Corona del Mar State Beach ISSUE: Who should be selected as the next food, beverage, and beach goods concessionaire at Corona del Mar State Beach? RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Select Rudy's as the next concessionaire at CDM State Beach based on the proposal submitted by Todd Carson and James "Rudy" Kaminski in response to City's recent Request for Proposals for the CDM concessionaire; and 2) Authorize the Mayor to execute a Concession Agreement as attached to this staff report; or 3) Direct staff to reject all bids and prepare and issue a new Request for Proposals. DISCUSSION: Background: From November 1991 through September 2005, Kilmer Enterprises managed the Corona del Mar State Beach concession. During that time, Kilmer Enterprises paid 45% of its monthly gross receipts for rent. In the last calendar year of its operation, 2004, Kilmer Enterprises paid $100,420.00 to the City. In September 2005, the concession agreement with Kilmer Enterprises was terminated in order to commence construction of the Corona del Mar Beachgoer Amenities Improvement Project (the "Project "). The Project included 1,043 square feet for a concessions facility, and opened in fall 2006, without a concessionaire. Award of CDM Concession June 12, 2007 Page 2 Council Policy F -7 requires the City to "seek revenue equivalent to the open market value of the highest and best use; and, whenever possible the City shall conduct an open bid or proposal process to insure the highest financial return" in negotiations regarding the lease of non - residential income property. Process. On October 27, 2005, the City issued a Request for Proposals for the concession operations at Corona del Mar State Beach. After careful review, City staff recommended, and City Council selected, Kilmer Enterprises to be the concessionaire. Unfortunately, an agreement could not be reached. On April 16, 2007, the City issued another Request for Proposals. Recommendation. The City received one proposal to its RFP. Rudy's Pub and Grill, an established business in Newport Beach, provided a response which included a temporary trailer for the summer while the tenant improvements are built, a suggested menu, and references. In addition, Rudy's Pub and Grill had good and creative ideas about the concession (please see the attached proposal). Because Rudy's concept (which is more of a restaurant setting serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner — as well as a request to serve beer and wine with lunch and dinner) is a significant change from what has been out at the site, we sent a letter on June 4ffi to residents on Breaker's Drive and Ocean Avenue to ensure that they knew about the proposal and had a chance to weigh in. I will be happy to update the Council with any comments I receive from that letter (attached) at the time this item is heard. After the RFP period closed, we heard from at least one other individual who was disappointed that she missed the RFP window. She asked if she could submit a proposal — I told her that we needed to respect the RFP process, bring Rudy's concepts to Council, and hear the concept as Rudy submitted it. If Council is unhappy with the concept, it can reject the bids and re -open another (3`d) RFP. Proposed Terms of Agreement. If the Council approves this item, it would also authorize the Mayor to enter into the attached formal Concession Agreement with Rudy's. A summary of the Agreement's terms is attached: TERM: 5 years,.with two 5 -year extensions RENT: If they get a liquor license: $100,000 /yr or 10% of gross sales, whichever is greater If no liquor license: $48,000 /yr or 10% of gross sales, whichever is greater RENT COMMENCEMENT: Earlier of May 1, 2008, or 5 months after receipt of Certificate of Occupancy TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: Concessionaire must install service runs, including gas, water, and electricity, and completing interior finishes and supplying all necessary equipment.

RENT 4.1 Base Rent. (a) Without Liquor License. Base Rent shall be established at Forty -Eight Thousand and no /100 Dollars ($48,000.00) per year for the initial year of the Lease, and adjusted pursuant to Section 4.1(d) below. (b) With Liquor License. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant obtains a liquor license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control or its successor agency, and all other necessary licenses and permits, including, but not limited to, a use permit from the City, then Base Rent shall be established at One Hundred Thousand and no /100 Dollars ($100,000.00) per year from the date Tenant is legally authorized to sell alcohol from the Premises, and adjusted pursuant to Section 4.1(d). (c) Payment. Base Rent for each full month shall be due on the first day of that month.

(d) Adjustment. Annually, upon the anniversary date of the Rent Commencement Date, the Base Rent shall be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index, but in no event shall the adjustment be greater than three percent (3 %) for each year. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the original Base Rent 5 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding the calendar month for which such adjustment is to be made and the denominator of which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to the Rent Commencement Date. For example, if the adjustment is to occur effective June 1, 2008, the index to be used for the numerator is the index for the month of March 2008 and the index to be used for the denominator is the index for the month of March preceding the Rent Commencement Date. In no event shall the adjusted rent be reduced below the Base Rent immediately preceding any adjustment. The "Consumer Price Index" to be used in such calculation is the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers (All Items), for the Los Angeles Anaheim Riverside Metropolitan Area, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (1982 -84 = 100).

(b) Accounting and Payment. Within twenty -five (25) days after the end of each calendar month for the term hereof, as may be extended as provided herein, commencing with the twenty -fifth (25th) day of the month following the Rent Commencement Date, and ending with the twenty -fifth (25th) day of the month next succeeding the last month of the Term, as may be extended as provided herein, Tenant shall furnish to City a statement in writing, certified by Tenant and a Certified Public C: Accountant to be correct, showing the total Gross Sales made in, upon, or from and /or otherwise attributable to the Premises during the preceding calendar month (or fractional month at the beginning of the term if the Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month), and shall accompany each such statement with a payment to City equal to said percentage of the total monthly Gross Sales made in, upon, or from or otherwise attributable to the Premises during each calendar month. The Base Rent, when paid for that month, shall be a credit against the Percentage Rent due for that month. 4.3 Summer Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from June _, 2007, through September 30, 2007, Tenant shall pay five percent (5 %) of the Gross Sales derived from the temporary services provided pursuant to Section 5.14. 4.4 Revenue from Premises' Use in Film.

Rent shall be payable at the office of the City's Revenue Division at 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California, or at such other place or places as City may from time to time designate by written notice delivered to Tenant. 4.6 Gross Sales.

If Tenant has paid the City less Percentage Rent than the Base Rent required under the Lease, Tenant shall pay the difference to the City within thirty (30) days of City's determination. (e) Sales and Charges. All sales and charges shall be recorded by means of cash registers that display the amount of the transaction certifying the amount recorded. The register shall be equipped with devices that log in daily sales totals, and record on tapes the transaction numbers and sales details. At the end of each day the tape will record the total sales for that day. (f) Production of Statement. Records and Audit. Tenant shall keep at the Premises (and shall require any permitted subtenant to keep at the Premises) full, complete and proper books, records and accounts of its daily Gross Sales, both for cash and on credit, at any time operated in the Premises. Tenant agrees to make available for inspection by City at the Premises, a complete and accurate set of books and records of all sales of goods, wares, and merchandise and revenue derived from the conduct of 10 business or activity in, at or from the Premises from which Gross Sales can be determined. Tenant shall also make available, upon City request, all supporting records. Tenant shall also furnish City copies of its quarterly California sales and use tax returns at the time each is filed with the State of California. Tenant shall retain and preserve for at least two (2) years all records, books, bankbooks or duplicate deposit books and other evidence of Gross Sales. City shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, during the Term and within one hundred eighty (180) days after Expiration or Termination of this Lease to inspect and audit Tenant's books and records and to make transcripts to verify the Rent due to the City. The audit may be conducted at any reasonable time during normal business hours. Tenant shall cooperate with City in making the inspection and conducting the audit. City shall also be entitled, once during each calendar year, and once within one hundred eighty (180) days after Expiration or Termination of this Lease, to an independent audit of Tenant's books of account, records, cash receipts, and other pertinent data to determine Tenant's Gross Sales. The audit shall be conducted at City's sole cost and expense by a Certified Public Accountant designated by City. The audit shall be limited to the determination of Gross Sales and shall be conducted during usual business hours in a manner that minimizes any interference with the conduct of Tenant's regular business operations. If the audit concludes that there is a deficiency in the payment of any Rent, the deficiency shall become due and payable within twenty (20) days and if there is an overpayment, City shall refund the amount of the overpayment within twenty (20) days. City shall bear its costs of the audit unless the audit shows that Tenant understated Gross Sales by more than five percent (5 %), in which case Tenant shall pay all City's reasonable costs of the audit. City shall keep any information gained from such statements, inspections or audits confidential to the maximum extent permitted by law. City shall not disclose financial information received in confidence and pursuant to this Lease except to carry out the purposes of this Lease unless disclosure is required (rather than permitted) by law. However, City may disclose the results of any audit in connection with any financing 11 arrangements, the sale or transfer of City's interest in the Premises, pursuant to order of a court or administrative tribunal, or to collect any outstanding Rent. (g) Tenant's Gross Sales Audit. In the event of any independent audit by City in accordance with this Lease, Tenant may contest the results of City's independent audit by performing a confirming audit within sixty (60) days of receipt of City's independent audit results and supporting evidence, using an independent Certified Public Accountant reasonably acceptable to City. If Tenant's audit discloses that City's independent audit was incorrect by more than five percent (5 %), then City shall pay the cost of Tenant's contesting audit. (h) Acceptance. The acceptance by City of any money paid to City by Tenant as Percentage Rent for the Premises, as shown by any statement furnished by Tenant, shall not be construed as an admission of the accuracy of said statement, or of the sufficiency of the amount of the Percentage Rent payment. 4.7 Late Payment. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to City of Monthly Base Rent, Percentage Rent, or other sums due hereunder will cause City to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, any payment of any sum to be paid by Tenant not paid within five (5) days of its due date shall be subject to a ten percent (10 %) late charge. City and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to City for its loss suffered by such late payment by Tenant. 4.8 Interest on Unpaid Sums. Unpaid sums due to either City or Tenant under this Lease shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10 %) per annum on the unpaid balance, including but not limited to late payment penalties, from the date due until paid. 5. BUSINESS PURPOSES AND USE OF PREMISES 12 5.1 Business Purposes. The Premises are to be used by Tenant for the operation of a concession selling food, non - alcoholic beverages (unless all licenses, permits and other approvals for the sale of alcoholic beverages are obtained by Tenant), and beach - related products such as firewood, umbrellas, beach chairs, boogie boards, and other beach - related merchandise.

[Signature page follows] 38 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease as of the date first written above. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ( "City "), a Municipal Corporation Steve Rosansky, Mayor of Newport Beach ATTEST: LaVonne Harkless City Clerk 0 APPROVED AS TO FORM: Aaron Harp Assistant City Attorney ( "Tenant ") , President 39 June 5, 2007 Dear Neighbor: Last year, the City completed a major renovation of Corona del Mar State Beach. Among other things, we demolished a number of structures, rebuilt restrooms, and consolidated the concession space. For about a year, we have attempted to bring in a concession to operate the new food facility (which now sits in the same structure as the lifeguard observation building). During the current bid process, Rudy's restaurant ( Rudy's with a "d ") submitted a good proposal. However, they submitted a concept that's a bit different from the snack bar which previously operated at Big Corona for so long. Rudy's intends to operate more like The Beachcomber restaurant at Crystal Cove, and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also hope to be able to sell wine and beer with meals (also like The Beachcomber). They will close each evening no later than the beach is closed (10:00 p.m.), respecting the existing beach curfew. Because the proposed concession operation will be different from what you're familiar with as a neighbor of CDM State Beach, I would like your feedback on Rudy's concept. It may be a good change if you want to enjoy breakfast or coffee at the beach during quiet cool mornings. The Rudy's proposal is up for consideration by the City Council on June 120'. 1 would appreciate your comments, questions, or concerns (by phone or e-mail) sometime before then. I have attached the menu that Rudy's submitted during the bid process so you can get a sense of what they intend to offer. Thank you in advance for taking the time to weigh in. I can be reached at 949 - 644 -3002 or dkiff (aDcitv.newport- beach.ca.us.
