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 Fuji Grill, Inc. as the next concessionaire at CDM State Beach based on the
proposal submitted by John Lee in response to City's Request for Proposals for the
CDM concessionaire dated August 31, 2007.
2) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Concession Agreement based on the
terms attached to this report.
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 1043 square feet for a concession facility. The Project
opened in summer 2006 without a concessionaire.

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. At that time, City staff recommended Rudy's Pub and Grill to be the concessionaire,
but City Council rejected staffs recommendation based on Rudy's request for a liquor license.
On August 31, 2007, City issued its third Request for Proposals.
Recommendation. The City received several proposals to its most recent RFP. Fuji Grill, Inc. ,
which is an established business in Newport Beach and has franchises throughout Orange
County, provided the most favorable response based on rent, menu, references and
experience.
CdM Subcommitee Recommendations.
On January 3, 2008, Steve Rosansky and Nancy Gardner met with staff to discuss Fuji Grill's
proposal. Mr. Rosansky requested that John Lee, the principle owner of Fuji Grill, Inc. provide a
personal guarantee. Ms. Gardner wanted to ensure that the outdoor dining furniture would not
impede pedestrian flow, particularly during the summer months, and wanted to make sure the
concession would only provide take -out — that there would be no table service. Mr. Lee agreed,
later, to these terms.
There was also some discussion about a parking program at CdM State Beach that would help
the Tenant's customers defray the cost of parking at CdM. The subcommittee and John Lee
agreed upon the program below.
Proposed Terms of Agreement If the Council approves this item, it would also authorize the
Mayor to enter into a contract based substantially on the provisions of.the Lease Agreement
attached to the August 31 RFP and the following negotiated terms:
TERM: 5 years, with two 5 -year extensions;
RENT: The greater of $80,000 /year, as adjusted annually by CPI, or 15% of gross sales,
whichever is greater;

concession located at Corona del Mar State Beach ( "CDM State Beach ") (See
Exhibit "A "). CDM State Beach is part of the California State Parks system,
but is managed and operated by the City. The City had previously issued
two RFPs for this location, but was unable to come to an agreement with the
proposers. This RFP is designed for those interested in entering into a
contractual relationship with the City ( "Concession Lease Agreement ") in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit "B" to lease the City- managed
concession facility.
I. RFP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
A. This RFP does not commit the City to award a contract. No other
party, including any applicant, is intended to be granted any
rights hereunder. Proposals which, in the sole discretion of the
City, do not meet the minimum requirements, including without
limitation the minimum proposal submission requirements, will
not be reviewed. This RFP and the process it describes are
proprietary to the City and are for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the City. Any response, including written documents and
verbal communication by any applicant to this RFP, will become
the property of the City, and if required by law may be subject to
public disclosure by the City or any authorized agent of the City.
The City is not liable for any costs associated with the
development, preparation, transmittal or presentation of any
proposal or materials submitted in response to this RFP.
B. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to review and verify the
completeness of its proposal. The City may request additional or
clarifying information or more detailed information from any
applicant at any time, including information inadvertently
omitted by an applicant. The City may request to inspect
properties or contact clients referenced in the applicant's
proposal. The City also reserves the right to conduct
investigations with respect to the qualifications of an applicant.
C. Verbal communication made by any City employee or agent of
the City with respect to this RFP is not binding and shall not in
any way be considered as a commitment by the City. Only
G
written responses to questions submitted in writing to the City or
written addenda to this RFP issued by the City may be relied
upon.
D. City employees and officials are prohibited from responding to
this RFP or being a party, direct or indirect, to any contract
resulting from the RFP, and no proposal shall be accepted from,
or contract awarded to, any City employee or official who
submits a proposal or solicits any contract in which he or she
may have any direct or indirect interest. No applicant may
submit more than one proposal pursuant to this RFP. Entities
that are legally related to each other or to a common entity may
not submit separate proposals. Any proposal may be rejected
because it, in the City's sole judgment, violates these conditions
or the spirit of these conditions.
E. The City reserves and may exercise the following rights and
options with respect to evaluation of proposals and selection for
negotiation:
To reject any and all proposals and re -issue the RFP at any
time prior to execution of a final contract if, in the City's
sole discretion, it is in the City's best interest to do so;
ii. To supplement, amend, substitute or otherwise modify this
RFP at any time prior to selection of one or more
applicants for negotiation and to cancel this RFP with or
without issuing another RFP;
iii. To accept or reject any or all of the items in any proposal
and award the contract in whole or in part if it is deemed
in the City's best interest to do so;
iv. To reject the proposal of an applicant that, in the City's
sole judgment, has been delinquent or unfaithful in the
performance of any contract with the City or other
government entity, is financially or technically incapable or
is otherwise not a responsible applicant;
V. To reject as informal or non - responsive any proposal
which, in the City's sole judgment, is incomplete, is not in
conformity with applicable law, is conditioned in any way,
deviates from this RFP or contains erasures, ambiguities,
alterations, or items of work not called for by this RFP;
vi. To waive any informality, defect, non - responsiveness
and /or deviation from this RFP that is not, in the City's sole
judgment, material to the proposal;
vii. To permit or reject, at the City's sole discretion,
amendments (including information inadvertently omitted),
modifications, alterations and /or corrections of proposals
by some or all of the applicants following proposal
submission;
viii. To request that some or all of the applicants modify
proposals based upon the evaluation of the City.
F. The City may enter into negotiations for a contract, on terms and
conditions satisfactory to the City with one or more selected
applicants. However, the City reserves the right to terminate
any negotiations at any time or conduct simultaneous,
competitive negotiations with multiple applicants. The City
reserves the right to negotiate acceptable terms in an otherwise
unacceptable proposal. Such negotiations may result in changes
in terms material to this RFP; in such an event, the City shall not
be obligated to inform other applicants of the changes, or permit
them to revise their proposals accordingly, unless the City, in its
sole discretion, determines that doing so and permitting such is
in the City's best interest. Should negotiations not prove
satisfactory with the selected applicant(s), the City reserves the
right to discontinue negotiations. Additional firms may be asked
to enter into negotiations, and /or the City may solicit new
proposals.
Because previous negotiations delayed the opening of the beach
concession facility, time is of the essence. It is critical that the
concession facility open as soon as possible, therefore the City
reserves the right to immediately and permanently terminate
negotiations with any applicant who is delaying or slowing down
the negotiation process.
II. BACKGROUND
The public amenities at CDM State Beach have been recently upgraded and
improved with replacement infrastructure and visitor - serving amenities such
as public restrooms, showers, a lifeguard facility, and landscaping. The
facility includes a self- contained concession area intended to provide
V]
food /drink service and beach rentals to beach visitors. CDM State Beach
includes open shoreline, day use parking, and nearby City parks. CDM State
Beach also hosts major special events, including an annual sandcastle
building competition and an antique car show. CDM State Beach is one of
the community's most family - friendly beaches because it has ocean -level
parking and (typically) gentle surf conditions.
The City is pleased to present this opportunity for interested individuals
and /or businesses to submit proposals and qualifications for the operation of
the beach concession facility.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The concession facility is intended for food and drinks as well as beach
rentals, such as umbrellas and body boards. The concession area is
approximately one thousand forty -three (1,043) square feet in size and
centrally located within the Lifeguard Observation building.
IV. PROPOSED AGREEMENT
Concession operations are a key component to the overall character of CDM
State Beach. Applicants shall review the proposed agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit "B" and:
1) Agree, in writing, to the agreement as -is; OR
2) Provide, in writing, counter - proposals to any provision in the proposed
agreement at the time the applicant submits a response to this RFP.
Requested changes to the proposed agreement after the RFP period
closes are highly unlikely to be approved by the City.
V. QUALIFICATIONS
To ensure a high - quality level of operation for the facility, applicants must
demonstrate minimum experience and qualifications. Applicants must
complete the City's Vendor Application Form (see Exhibit "C ") and provide
evidence of the following:

prompt, full and complete performance of any and all covenants and
provisions of the lease agreement.
The applicant or its employees may be subject to the provisions of the
California Political Reform Act of 1974 (the "Act "), which (1) requires such
persons to disclose any financial interest that may foreseeably be materially
affected by the work to be performed pursuant to this RFP, and (2) prohibits
such persons from making, or participating in making, decisions that will
foreseeably financially affect such interest.
If subject to the Act, the applicant shall conform to all requirements of the
Act. Failure to do so constitutes a material breach and is grounds for
immediate rejection of the applicant's proposal, or, if the Concession Lease
Agreement is already entered into with the applicant, immediate termination
of that Agreement by City. The applicant shall be required to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless City for any and all claims for damages resulting
from the applicant's violation of this provision.

($6,666.67) on the first day of each month. Base Rent for any partial month shall be

on the first day of that month that falls within the Term.
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.
Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the original Base Rent 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, 2009, the index to be used for the numerator
is the index for the month of March 2009 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
zI
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). If both an official index and one or more
unofficial indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price
Index is no longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by
conversion tables included in such new index.

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
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

than the first day of a month), and shall accompany each such statement with a
payment to City equal to fifteen percent (15 %) of the total monthly Gross Sales made in,
upon, or from or otherwise attributable to the Premises for the calendar month, less the
Base Rent already paid to the City for that month.
za

of at least fifty percent (50 %) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote for the election of
directors, except for ownership of publicly traded shares, warrants or similar equity

(a) an "Affiliate" is any corporation or other entity which directly or
indirectly controls or is controlled or is under common control with Tenant (for purposes
4i
of this Section, "control" shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation or
other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or
otherwise);
(b) a "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other entity not less than
twenty -five percent (25 %) of whose outstanding stock shall, at the time, be owned
directly or indirectly by Tenant and which is at least as creditworthy as Tenant; and
(c) a "Successor" shall mean a corporation or other entity in which or with
which Tenant is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory
provisions for merger or consolidation of corporations or a corporation or other entity
acquiring a substantial portion of the property and assets of Tenant.
13.3 Continuing Effect. City's consent to any assignment, encumbrance, or
sublease shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations or liabilities under this Lease nor
act as a waiver of the requirement that such consent be obtained to any subsequent
assignment, encumbrance or sublease.

events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;

observe or perform any of the material covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease

thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from City to Tenant; provided, however, that if
43
the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably
required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant
commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes such cure to completion;
(d) The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment
for the benefit of creditors;
(e) Tenant becomes a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or

same is dismissed within sixty (60) days);
(f) The appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, where such appointment is not discharged within sixty (60) days; and
(g) The attachment, execution or the judicial seizure of substantially all
of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease, where
such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days.
14.2 Remedies.

continue without cure as required by this Lease, City shall have the remedies described
in this Section in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or equity, to
which City may resort cumulatively or in the alternative.
(1) Reentry without Termination. City may reenter the Premises,
and, without terminating this Lease, re -let all or a portion of the Premises. City may
execute any leases made under this provision in City's name and shall be entitled to all
rents from the use, operation, or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall nevertheless
pay to City on the dates specified in this Lease the equivalent of all sums required of
Tenant under this Lease, plus City's expenses in conjunction with re- letting, less the
proceeds of any re- letting or atonement. No act by or on behalf of City under this
41}
provision shall constitute a Termination of this Lease unless City gives Tenant specific
written notice of Termination.
(2) City may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of
Termination. In the event City terminates this Lease, City may recover possession of
the Premises (which Tenant shall surrender and vacate upon demand) and remove all
Persons and property. City shall be entitled to recover the following as damages;
(A) The value of any unpaid Rent or other charges that
are unpaid at the time of Termination;
(B) The value of the Rent and other charges that would
have accrued after Termination less the amount of Rent and charges the City received
or could have received through the exercise of reasonable diligence as of the date of
the award;
(C) Any other amount necessary to reasonably
compensate City for the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease; and
(D) At City's election, such other amounts in addition to or
in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time -to -time by applicable California
law. City shall be entitled to interest at the rate of ten percent (10°x) per annum on all
Rent and other charges from the date due or the date they would have accrued. City
shall also be entitled to an award of the costs and expenses incurred by City in
maintaining or preserving the Premises after default, preparing the Premises for re-
letting, or repairing any damage caused by the act or omission of Tenant.
(3) Use of Tenant's Personal Property. City may use Tenant's
personal property and trade fixtures located on the Premises or any of such property
and fixtures without compensation or liability to Tenant for use or damage. In the
alternative City may store the property and fixtures at the cost of Tenant. City shall not
415
operate the Concession in any manner tending to indicate that the Concession is
affiliated with, part of or operated in conjunction with Tenant's business.
(b) City's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. Upon continuance of any
material default beyond applicable notice and cure periods, City may, but is not
obligated to, cure the default at Tenant's cost. If City pays any money or performs any
act required of, but not paid or performed by, Tenant after notice, the payment and /or
the reasonable cost of performance shall be due as additional Rent not later than five
(5) days after service of a written demand accompanied by supporting documentation.
No such payment or act shall constitute a waiver of default or of any remedy for default
or render City liable for any loss or damage resulting from performance.
(c) Waiver of Rights. Tenant waives any right of redemption or relief
from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 or 1179, or under
any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or City takes possession
of the Premises by reason of any default by Tenant.

Lease.

Tenant shall not maintain, commit, or permit any nuisance as defined in Section 3479 of
94
the California Civil Code on the Premises. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the
Premises for any unlawful purpose.
17. NO CONFLICTS OF USE, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
City represents and warrants that, to the best of City's knowledge, (i) Tenant's
use of the Premises does not conflict with applicable Laws, and City knows of no reason
why Tenant would be unable to obtain all required permits, licenses and approvals from
the appropriate governmental authorities; (ii) the Project is not in violation of any
environmental laws, rules or regulations and Tenants contemplated uses will not cause
any such violation; and (iii) the Project is free of any and all Hazardous Materials as of
the date of this Lease. In the event that the presence of any Hazardous Materials not
caused by Tenant is detected at the Project at any time during the Term of this Lease
and any Option Term all remedial work shall be performed by City at City's expense.
Tenants obligation to open shall be delayed until the remedial work is completed if the
remedial work is performed prior to Tenant opening for business. Tenant's obligation to
pay Rent shall be abated in direct proportion to the extent Tenant is unable to conduct
its business upon the Premises as a result of any remedial work that is performed
subsequent to Tenant opening for business. Tenant shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to terminate this Lease, upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to City
in the event that Hazardous Materials are detected at the Project and the presence or
the remediation materially affects Tenants ability to conduct its business in the
Premises. "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any oil, flammable explosives, asbestos,

days but fails to diligently complete performance. In the event of City's default, Tenant

reimburse Tenant the amount of all costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in curing the
default, together with interest and expenses at the maximum rate then allowed by law;
or
