SECTION 3.0 AIRPORT BACKGROUND

3.1 LOVE FIELD MODERNIZATION PROGRAM (LFMP)

Dallas Love Field (“Airport”) is a medium hub airport, owned by the City of Dallas (“City”) that serves the Dallas metropolitan region and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In calendar year 2012, approximately 4.1 million passengers were enplaned at the Airport. Approximately 65% of the enplaned passengers were originating passengers (passengers who begin or end their trips in Dallas) and 35% were connecting or through passengers. The Airport is a principal station in the route system of Southwest Airlines Co. (“Southwest”), which is the dominant airline at the Airport in terms of air traffic activity.

Prior to the opening of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (“DFW”) in 1974, the Airport was the principal air carrier airport serving the Dallas metropolitan region. Southwest began service at the Airport in 1971 and, because it was not a party to the agreements surrounding the development of DFW, chose to continue operating at the Airport after DFW opened. In 1979, federal legislation (commonly referred to as the “Wright Amendment”) was passed, which placed restrictions on nonstop commercial flights to and from the Airport.

On July 11, 2006, the City, the City of Fort Worth, The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Board, Southwest, and American Airlines, Inc. entered into an agreement to seek elimination of restrictions on air service at the Airport contained in the Wright Amendment, and if such legislation was approved, the parties agreed to allow for the redevelopment and modernization of the existing Airport terminal facilities (the “Five Party Agreement”). Subsequently, on October 13, 2006, Public Law 109-352, commonly known as the “Wright Amendment Reform Act of 2006” was signed into law. The Wright Amendment Reform Act of 2006 provides that the last of the interstate flight restrictions imposed on the Airport since 1979 will be lifted on October 13, 2014.

After approval of the Wright Amendment Reform Act of 2006, the City and Southwest, in accordance with the Five Party Agreement, agreed to redevelop and modernize the Airport, the Love Field Modernization Program (“LFMP”), which includes redevelopment of the existing Airport terminal building and construction of a new twenty (20) gate concourse. Once complete, the new terminal will house 20 airline gates, where Southwest will occupy 16 gates and other airlines will operate from the remaining four gates.

Dallas Executive Airport, a 1,040 acre General Aviation airport is part of the Dallas Airport System, located on Challenger Road off Hampton Road, approximately 10 minutes south of downtown Dallas. Owned by the City of Dallas and operated by the Department of Aviation, Dallas Executive Airport includes a new terminal building with crew lounge, flight planning room, fully equipped conference center and a restaurant. The airport also includes 2 Fixed Base Operators (FBO) for fuel and maintenance needs, as well as hangar space for aircraft.

Page 9: Dallas Airport Advertising RFP

The Dallas Vertiport is an elevated aviation facility located at 801 South Lamar Street in Dallas at the south end of the Convention Center. The facility has approximately 169,000 square feet of flight deck and a dedicated automobile parking lot. Both rotor aircraft and tilt-rotor aircraft, such as the Osprey V-22, can be accommodated at the facility. The Vertiport may be used by individuals owning and operating their own aircraft, private charters as well as corporate aviation departments of private companies.

3.2 HISTORICAL ENPLANEMENTS

Table 1 shows enplanements for calendar year 2008 through 2012 and year to date August, 2012. The Airport is the home base for Southwest, and Southwest accounts for a large majority of enplanements at the Airport. In calendar year 2011, Southwest accounted for 97.8% of total enplanements. Continental, United and Delta, using their regional affiliates, accounted for the remaining 2.2%

Total 4,028,686 3,890,130 3,998,271 4,008,070 4,101,399

Projected enplanements for the first full year of the new terminal (2015) are 5,261,000. This projection is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change. No assurance can be given as to the levels of aviation activity that will be achieved at the Airport in the future. Future traffic at the Airport is sensitive to a variety of factors including: (1) the growth in population and economy of the area served by the Airport, (2) national and international economic conditions, (3) air carrier economics and air fares, (4) the availability and price of aviation fuel, (5) air carrier service and route networks, (6) the capacity of the air traffic control system, and (7) the capacity of the Airport/airways system. Slow or negative traffic growth in many areas; increased competition among air carriers; consolidation and mergers among air carriers; increased fuel, labor, equipment and other costs; and changes in the availability and cost of capital have combined recently to reduce profits materially or to cause losses for some air carriers. Accordingly, the City does not guarantee the accuracy of this projection or that the current market share at the Airport will continue.

3.3 HISTORICAL ADVERTISING SALES and NEW TERMINAL CONCESSIONS

The existing program at DAL, prior to the start of construction, was comprised of approximately 70 approved locations in two terminal buildings and exterior locations. The following Table 2 lists gross advertising sales over the last 4 years and year to date

Significant changes to the nature of operations, and the volume of passenger traffic at Dallas Love Field is forthcoming with the repeal of the commercial passenger flight restrictions imposed by the Wright Amendment by the year 2014, pursuant to a negotiated agreement among the cities of Dallas and Ft. Worth, the DFW Airport Board

Page 12: Dallas Airport Advertising RFP

and American and Southwest Airlines. In order to effectively and efficiently accommodate these changes, it will be necessary to develop capital improvements to the Terminal Building. It is anticipated that the construction activity will impose burdens upon all Airport users, including concessionaires, airlines, other service providers, as well as the Department of Aviation. As with most terminal construction projects, these burdens will involve changing passenger traffic flow patterns, relocating various functions, activities and tenants, and otherwise disrupting the conditions of all who operate in the airport. These capital improvements will be designed and constructed throughout the next 18 months, with completion expected during 2014. In conjunction with the expected improvements, construction and renovation, the Department of Aviation intends to work closely with all concessionaires to minimize disruptions to operations and to provide a high level of service to our customers and passengers.

The Airport through this RFP process is soliciting competitive proposals from qualified firms (Proposers) to develop, install, manage and operate an advertising concession within the:

Airport Terminal Buildings at Dallas Love Field and Dallas Executive Airport, Exterior Advertising Locations at Dallas Love Field and Dallas Executive Airport, The Parking Garage at Dallas Love Field, Roadway locations and associated medians at Dallas Love Field and Dallas

Executive Airport Locations at the Dallas Vertiport

The selected firm will be responsible for providing the following services:

a) Developing, installing, and maintaining advertising displays in the locations listed above. Current locations approved for Airport advertising displays are designated on Attachment D (Exhibits D1 through D5).

b) Soliciting and issuing contracts in its own name for advertising and exhibiting materials to be displayed.

c) Scheduling and contracting advertising displays and/or exhibit placements by date and location, including the length of time that each promotion and advertisement will run and a description of the type of display and/or exhibit. Copies of advertising contracts will be submitted to the Department of Aviation within thirty (30) days of execution.

In addition, the selected firm shall submit detailed reports to the City, in intervals as determined by the City, for evaluation of the advertising program’s operation and the selected firm’s achievement of performance standards. These reports shall include, but are not limited to:

Page 13: Dallas Airport Advertising RFP

maintenance activities, and sales call reports.

TERM: The Primary term of the Agreement shall be for a seven (7) year period from the effective date of the Agreement. At the City’s sole discretion, acting through its Director, the Agreement may be extended up to two (2) additional years in the aggregate. The successful Proposer(s) shall pay the greater of the Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) (as applicable) or the percentage of the Gross Advertising Revenues arising from its operations in each year.

4.1 ADVERTISING CONCEPTS

The Airport is looking for creative, state-of-the-art proposals that either utilize new technologies, i.e., interactive devices, multi-screen video walls, fiber optic displays, holographic displays etc., or those that represent new methods of generating advertising revenues. Attachment D, Exhibits D1 through D5 delineates approved locations and pre-approved locations for the new terminal(for Package 1) and is not intended to specify a specific type of fixture or display and does not restrict the Proposer from proposing alternative or additional methods of maximizing revenues. The successful Proposer should consider new concepts but shall submit Marketing and Management plans as reflected in Section 13.7 and 13.8 of this RFP and shall submit all other response requirements as identified in Section 13.0. Attachment D, Exhibit D-1 also includes a schedule that delineates the construction and demolition schedule for the purpose of informing proposers of the various timeframes applicable to new and existing building structures and the effect the schedules have on advertising locations within the Terminal Building.

AWARD: The advertising locations addressed in this RFP are bundled into five (5) packages. Proposers may propose on one, all or any combination of the offered packages. The City reserves the right to award any or all packages to one or more proposers. Proposers may also team with other entities to present a comprehensively skilled joint-venture response to any package.

PACKAGE #1: Interior Terminal Area (Lobby, Baggage Claim, Terminal Concourse, of Dallas Love Field and Interior Terminal Area of Dallas Executive (Attachment D, Exhibits D-1(a) and D-1(b))

Also, there are three distinct locations, delineated on Exhibit D-1(a) Level 1 and Level 2 of the Interior Terminal Area of Dallas Love Field that are to include advertising clients for the Southern Sector of Dallas. If the proposed fixture is a static ad, then the advertising associated with the fixture shall pertain to advertising clients for the Southern Sector of Dallas. If the proposed fixture includes the capability to digitally include multiple advertisements, then at least 50% of the ads are to include advertising clients for the Southern Sector of Dallas. Proposer should clearly exhibit the ability to deliver Southern Sector advertising in their proposal. The desired results for the locations may be

10

Page 14: Dallas Airport Advertising RFP

achieved through a joint venture partnership to provide the expertise.

The successful proposer on Package #1 will be expected to manage a bin advertising program at the security checkpoint of the new terminal building. The vendor will need to work with TSA to develop the Memorandum of Understanding. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be between the Airport and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), but the agreement for the bin program will be executed between the successful proposer and the company providing the bin equipment. As this is, in essence, a sub-contract that will include a capital investment by the company providing the bin equipment, that may require rental credits to offset that capital investment, this package #1 component may carry a financial offer to the Airport outside of the stated Package #1 minimum percentage rental. In addition, the capital investment by the company providing the equipment, may not be included in the Package #1 capital investment requirement.

PACKAGE #2: Terminal Exterior (exterior buildings, skybridge, exterior Jetbridges, AOA) of Dallas Love Field and Terminal Exterior Areas of Dallas Executive (Attachment D, Exhibits D-2(A) and D-2(B))

PACKAGE #3: Parking Garage Facility (external facings, elevator doors, steps, walls, columns, etc.) (Attachment D, Exhibit D-3)

PACKAGE #4: Roadways and adjacent medians of both Dallas Love Field and Dallas Executive Airport. (Attachment D, Exhibits D-4(a) and D-4(b)).

PACKAGE #5: Exterior areas of the Dallas Vertiport property (Attachment D Exhibit D – 5)

Proposers must submit one (1) original Proposal marked “Original” and two (2) copies marked “copy separately bound. Additionally seven (7) copies of each Proposal, on electronic media such as disk or flash drive shall be submitted.

4.2 ADVERTISING PROGRAM

The advertising concession granted to the successful proposer on each package shall include the right to develop, construct, install, operate, maintain and sell advertising for dioramas, spectaculars, illuminated floor-mounted showcases, wall wraps, exhibit displays, charging stations, USB Charging stations and such other advertising media in the approved locations of the Airports and the Dallas Vertiport. All fixtures installed shall be new, clean, stocked and operational within 90 days from the effective date of the Agreement. For Package 1, the successful

11

Exhibit D-1(a) (Dallas Love Field In-Terminal Package 1) depicts the quantity of approved locations and types of fixtures in the new terminal. Proposers are encouraged to use their creativity and innovation in developing an Advertising Display Plan that is consistent and complementary to the features and characteristics of the Airport and that best utilizes the available areas, both aesthetically and financially, in terms of maximizing advertising revenue.

SECTION 12.0 A IRPORT CONCESSION DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE) PARTICIPATION; SMALL BUSINESS ENTITY (SBE) PARTICIPATION

A. The Airport is seeking Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Participation in the Advertising Concession Program identified in this RFP. ACDBE involvement is a required component of the Advertising Concession Program. Airport concessionaires are required to make good faith efforts to explore all available options, e.g., unbundling of contract work into smaller portions to increase accessibility for DBEs and SBEs; sub-contracting portions of the work that the prime might otherwise perform with their own workforces, etc. to meet the ACDBE participation component. ACDBE participation is expressed as a percentage of the prime’s projected annual total gross revenues, i.e., % ACDBE Participation = ACDBE Total Gross Revenue or Sales/Prime Total Gross Revenue or Sales. The current ACDBE participation goal for contracts awarded during the goal period of FY 2011-2014 is 22.84%. The participation percentage goal sought is subject to change from goal period to goal period and is based upon projected annual total gross revenues. The Airport does not seek ACDBE participants solely for the purpose of meeting an established goal, rather, the ACDBE or SBE participation occurs when the ACDBE or SBE participant performs a verifiable commercially useful function, i.e., is actively engaged in the operation of the advertising concession or provide supplies or services directly related to the operation of an advertising concession.

B. ACDBE or SBE participation can be accomplished by ACDBE direct ownership or by the formation of joint ventures, partnerships, and/or subcontractor arrangements, provided that in the case of joint ventures, partnerships, and subcontractor arrangements, the ACDBE component of the contract will consist of the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work performed by the ACDBE or SBE or from the utilization of certified ACDBE suppliers and subcontractors, i.e., purchases of goods and services from an ACDBE or SBE. Firms claiming ACDBE, DBE or SBE status must be certified through the Uniform Certification Process (UCP) for the State of Texas. The North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA) provides ACDBE certification via the UCP to qualifying entities.

D. The concession Agreement awarded as a result of this RFP is subject to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation regulation 49 CFR Part 23. The Proposer agrees that it will not discriminate against any business owner because of the owner’s race, color, national origin, or sex in connection with the award or performance of any concession agreement, management contract, purchase or lease agreement or other agreement covered by 49 CFR Part 23, further, that the preceding verbiage regarding non-discrimination will be included in any subsequent concession agreement or contract covered by CFR 49 Part 23 that it enters and cause those businesses to similarly include the non-discrimination verbiage in further agreements.

The parties hereto agree that the actual cost resulting to the City of Dallas because of the delinquent report are incapable of being accurately ascertained or determined and hereby agree to the fifty dollars ($50.00) per day as the measure of any damages resulting from such late reports and such charge shall not be considered penalty or interest.
