3. | Current Action |
Since 2012, URW Airports, LLC has managed the food and beverage and retail concessions programs in Terminals 1,2,3,6, and the Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport, pursuant to two Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreements (LAA-8613 and LAA-8640). URW Airports, LLC’s responsibilities as the Terminal Commercial Manager include developing, leasing, and managing concession
| Page 3 |
operations in these facilities. The Terminal Commercial Manager manages a combination of 134 food and beverage and retail concessions, spread out over 122,000 square feet at Los Angeles International Airport. In calendar year 2019, the Terminal Commercial Management Agreement paid Los Angeles World Airports approximately [**] in revenue.
Over the past eight years, Los Angeles World Airports and URW Airports, LLC staff have worked to improve the concession program and revenue opportunities at Los Angeles International Airport. Several opportunities have been identified to improve the functionality of the program that require amendments to the Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreements. As described below, the proposed amendments will improve the Terminal Commercial Manager’s ability to adjust the concession programs, with the Los Angeles World Airports Chief Executive Officer’s consent, to meet passenger needs and increase revenue to Los Angeles World Airports, without having to bring an amendment to the Board of Airport Commissioners for each minor adjustment.
Concession Areas:
The proposed amendments will streamline the steps required to customize program offerings by authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to adjust short-term and long-term concession premises within the concession areas delineated in the Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreements LAA-8613 and LAA-8640. The current process requires both the Board of Airport Commissioners and Los Angeles City Council approve changes to the premises. Allowing the Chief Executive Officer to approve these adjustments will allow Los Angeles World Airports to improve speed to market and allow the concession offerings to be more responsive to terminal operational requirements and guest demands.
Short term agreements of one year or less present an efficient way to introduce new, trendy concepts, and is designed to support small and emerging businesses that may not have sufficient funds to invest in long term infrastructure needs typical for airport concessions. Short term leases will provide turnkey space that will allow new small business vendors with a means to begin operations, without expensive space buildouts. The ability to quickly identify and secure concession spaces will enhance the ability to capture trends and maintain concepts that are fresh and up to date.
Midfield Satellite Concourse Development – Non-Premises Improvements:
On October 2017, Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreement LAA-8613 was amended to add the Midfield Satellite Concourse to the agreement. As part of this amendment, it was agreed that URW Airports, LLC did not require any funding for Non-Premises Improvements based on the infrastructure development capability of the Turner | PCL, a Joint Venture, design-build contract (DA-4971) and the embedded Tenant Program Allowance funds reserved for future commercial development.
However, due to the protracted development schedule of tenant space within the Midfield Satellite Concourse due to COVID-19, the Turner | PCL Joint Venture was unable to perform this work within the project schedule, so Los Angeles World Airports transferred [**] in unused Tenant Program Allowance funds from DA-4971 to a segregated account for future use by the Los Angeles World Airports Commercial Development Division (Board Resolution No. 27151 approved on November 19, 2020).
The proposed amendment to Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreement LAA-8613 will provide Los Angeles World Airports with the ability to engage URW Airports, LLC to deliver certain infrastructure improvements in accordance with the Non-Premises
| Page 4 |
Improvement provisions of the Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreement, subject to Board authorization.
As part of this Board action, staff is requesting the transfer of [**] to perform Non-Premises Improvements to support the infrastructure development of concessions storage space in the Midfield Satellite Concourse, including ancillary Non-Premises Improvements related to Midfield Satellite Concourse concessions activation and infrastructure. Staff requests authority to acquire up to [**] in Non-Premises Improvements through cash payments in lieu of rent credits, to eliminate the accrued interest expense and reduction in net asset value. This [**] will be drawn from the [**] in unused Tenant Program Allowance funds that was transferred from the Midfield Satellite Concourse project per the above.
Online Ordering:
In 2018, Los Angeles World Airports initiated a digital pilot program in collaboration with URW Airports, LLC, to assess the impact of digitizing the shopping and dining experience. This pilot was very successful and expanded to the OrderNow (formerly Shop and Dine) application that currently is helping to provide touchless and contactless concessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on results and success of this pilot program, Los Angeles World Airports recommends that URW Airports, LLC contract be expanded to include digital concessions management for URW Airport, LLC managed terminals at Los Angeles International Airport, upon expiration of the Digital Pilot Program.
The proposed amendments to Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreements LAA-8613 and LAA-8640 will expand the Terminal Commercial Manager’s scope to include operation of a digital market place to allow guests to view and order concession offerings in Terminal Commercial Manager managed terminals on-line through their smart devices. The digital marketplace also provides cost efficiencies for development and maintenance of the digital program, as well as ensures a consistent standard of service. This also will provide a base for future expansion of a digital program through a separate Los Angeles World Airports competitive solicitation for a new vendor to offer in all terminals for airport wide offerings.
Lease Amendment Overview:
The proposed amendments will align the expiration dates of Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreements LAA-8613 and LAA-8640 for consistency and better long-term planning as shown in the table below. All other terms of the Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreements LAA-8613 and LAA-8640 remain unchanged.
| Page 5 |
LAA-8613 | Current Terms | Proposed Terms |
Term: Commencement Expiration | March 1, 2012 January 31, 2032 | No Change – March 1, 2012 January 31, 2034 |
Premises: (Concession space units) | Total: Up to 99,672 SF Existing (69,672 SF) plus Midfield Satellite Concourse (up to 30,000 SF) | No Change |
LAA-8640 | Current Terms | Proposed Terms |
Term: Commencement Expiration | June 22, 2012 T1: June 30, 2034 T3: June 30, 2031 T6: September 30, 2032 | No Change – June 22, 2012 T1: No Change T3: June 30, 2034 T6: June 30, 2034 |
Premises: (Concession space units) | Total: Up to 69,970 SF | No Change |
Sole Source Determination:
Los Angeles World Airports determined that a solicitation resulting in the adjustment of premise spaces, use of non-premise space within a Terminal Commercial Manager Area, and digitization of the concessions program mobile ordering platform is not reasonably practicable and compatible with the City’s interest and found that the use of competitive bidding would be undesirable and impractical, consistent with Los Angeles City Charter Sections 371(e)(10) and 372. Streamlining the administrative process and reducing the time required to adjust concession spaces in the terminals will enhance Los Angeles World Airports’ ability to quickly provide the best concession offerings, maximize revenue, and support guest needs. A solicitation process is both time consuming and requires increased staff resources that can be more efficiently used to perform higher revenue generating priorities. The digitization of the URW Airports, LLC concessions program allows Los Angeles World Airports to analyze the impacts of an airport wide program prior to solicitation and full-scale implementation. URW Airports, LLC resources and current Unit Concession Agreement terms allowed for a quick deployment of digital shop and dine options made necessary during the pandemic to further low touch commerce initiatives.
Late Fee Waiver:
In addition to the proposed amendments described above, Los Angeles World Airports staff also requests approval to waive late fess that were imposed pursuant to Terminal Commercial Management Concession Agreement LAA-8613. [**]

The amendments to the concession agreements will maximize revenue and improve passenger services.

The administrative efficiencies will reduce staffing and operational costs. The digital enhancements will allow Los Angeles World Airports to customize and improve its marketing program.

Sec. 10.37. Legislative Findings.
The City awards many contracts to private firms to provide services to the public and to City government. Many lessees or licensees of City property perform services that affect the proprietary interests of City government in that their performance impacts the success of City operations. The City also provides financial assistance and funding to other firms for the purpose of economic development or job growth. The City expends grant funds under programs created by the federal and state governments. These expenditures serve to promote the goals established for the grant programs and for similar goals of the City. The City intends that the policies underlying this article serve to guide the expenditure of such funds to the extent allowed by the laws under which such grant programs are established.
Experience indicates that procurement by contract of services all too often has resulted in the payment by service
contractors to their employees of wages at or slightly above the minimum required by federal and state minimum wage laws. The minimal compensation tends to inhibit the quantity and quality of services rendered by those employees to the City and to the public. Underpaying employees in this way fosters high turnover, absenteeism and lackluster performance. Conversely, adequate compensation promotes amelioration of these undesirable conditions. Through this article, the City intends to require service contractors to provide a minimum level of compensation which will improve the level of services rendered to and for the City.
The inadequate compensation leaves service employees with insufficient resources to afford life in Los Angeles. Contracting decisions involving the expenditure of City funds should not foster conditions that place a burden on limited social services. The City, as a principal provider of social support services, has an interest in promoting an employment environment that protects such limited resources. In requiring the payment of a higher minimum level of compensation, this article benefits that interest.
In comparison with the wages paid at San Francisco International Airport, the wage for Los Angeles airport workers is often lower even though the airports are similar in the number of passengers they serve and have similar goals of providing a living wage to the airport workforce. Studies show that higher wages at the airport leads to increases in worker productivity and improves customer service. Higher wages for airport workers also results in a decline in worker turnover, yielding savings to the employers and alleviating potential security concerns. Therefore, the City finds that a higher wage for airport employees is needed to reduce turnover and retain a qualified and stable workforce.
Many airport workers who provide catering services to the airlines are paid below the living wage. Federal law allows employment contract agreements between airline caterers and its workers to remain in effect without an expiration date, effectively freezing wages for workers. Long-term employment contract agreements provide little incentive for employers to renegotiate the employment contract agreements with their workers. Airline catering
EXHIBIT K-1
§ 10.37 | CONTRACTS | Division 10 |
workers often struggle to pay their bills, sometimes having to choose between paying medical bills and buying food for their families. The City finds that airline caterers should pay their workers, at a minimum, the living wage with benefits.
Airport workers are also the first to respond when an emergency occurs at the airport. In order to properly assist first responders during a crisis at the airport, the City finds that airport employees of Certified Service Provider License Agreement holders should be formally trained for an emergency response at the airport.
Nothing less than the living wage should be paid by employers that are the recipients of City financial assistance. Whether workers are engaged in manufacturing or some other line of business, the City does not wish to foster an economic climate where a lesser wage is all that is offered to the working poor.
The City holds a proprietary interest in the work performed by many employees of City lessees and licensees and by their service contractors, subcontractors, sublessees and sublicensees. The success or failure of City operations may turn on the success or failure of these enterprises, for the City has a genuine stake in how the public perceives the services rendered for them by such businesses. Inadequate compensation of these employees adversely impacts the performance by the City’s lessee or licensee and thereby hinders the opportunity for success of City operations. A proprietary interest in providing a living wage is important for various reasons, including, but not limited to: 1) the public perception of the services or products rendered to them by a business; 2) security concerns related to the location of the business or any product or service the business produces; or 3) an employer’s industry-specific job classification which is in the City’s interest to cover by the living wage. This article is meant to cover all such employees not expressly exempted.
Requiring payment of the living wage further serves a proprietary concern of the City. If an employer does not comply with this article, the City may: 1) declare a material breach of the contract; 2) declare the employer non-responsible and limit its ability to bid on future City contracts, leases or licenses; and 3) exercise any other remedies available.

Contracts shall provide that violation of this article shall constitute a material breach thereof and entitle the Awarding Authority to terminate the contract and otherwise pursue legal remedies that may be available. Contracts shall also include an agreement that the Employer shall comply with federal law proscribing retaliation for union organizing.
(d) The DAA may audit an Employer at any time to verify compliance. Failure by the Employer to cooperate

(1) If any of the Employee’s allegations merit further review, the DAA shall perform an audit; the scope of which will not exceed four years from the date the complaint was received.
(2) If the claimed violation is filed after a contract has expired, and information needed for the review is no longer readily available, the DAA may determine this article no longer applies.
(3) In the event of a claimed violation of the requirements relating to compensated time off, uncompensated time off or wages, the DAA may require the Employer to calculate the amount the Employee should have earned and compensate the Employee. Nothing shall limit the DAA’s authority to evaluate the calculation.
(i) If the DAA determines that an Employer is in violation of Section 10.37.2(b), the time owed must be made available immediately. At the Employer’s option, retroactive compensated time off in excess of 192 hours may be paid to the Employee at the current hourly wage rate.
(ii) If the DAA determines that an Employer is in violation of Section 10.37.2(c), the Employer shall calculate the amount of uncompensated time off that the Employee should have accrued. This time will be added to the uncompensated time off currently available to the Employee and must be available immediately.
(f) Where the DAA has determined that an Employer has violated this article, the DAA shall issue a written notice to the Employer that the violation is to be corrected within ten days or other time period determined appropriate by the DAA.
(g) In the event the Employer has not demonstrated to the DAA within such period that it has cured the violation, the DAA may then:

A bidder or contractor who “engages in investment activities in Iran” is defined as either:
1. | A bidder or contractor providing goods or services of twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) or more in the energy sector of Iran, including provision of oil or liquefied natural gas tankers, or products used to construct or maintain pipelines used to transport oil or liquefied natural gas, for the energy sector of Iran; or |
