STAFF REPORT
Background
On March 18, 1998, the Ways and Means Committee discussed various issues concerning the
management of the San Bernardino Stadium. Information was also provided concerning past
actions regarding stadium management. It was recommended that a contract be considered with
a management company to market the stadium and manage events.
On June 1, 1998, the Mayor and Council approved the recommendation of the Ways and Means
Committee to issue a Request for Qualifications for a stadium marketing and/or facility
operations manager for the Stadium. The RFQ stated that the city was seeking to contract with
an experienced facility manager to develop and implement a marketing plan. The plan would
include marketing the stadium on a year -round basis to generate additional revenues, and
maximize the use of the facility for the benefit of the community.
On June 15, 1998, the RFQ was sent out to nine (9) individuals and firms, including respondents
to the previous RFQ. The RFQ was also advertised in local papers. Four (4) responses were
received by the due date. A committee was formed with representatives from the Mayor's
Office, City Administrator's Office, Finance, and Parks, Recreation, and Community Services to
review the proposals and rank them in order of their qualifications. The four respondents were
ranked in the following order:
1. Big Red Apple (San Bernardino, CA)
2. Rainy Day Productions (Oakland, CA)
3. Recreational Management Services Corporation (Utica, NY)
4. Andrew Gray (San Bernardino, CA)
The committee interviewed representatives from the top two firms. Initially, the proposal by
Rainy Day Productions was recommended to the Ways and Means Committee for approval.
Based on information gathered by the committee, subsequent meetings were held with Mr. Bob
Lewis of Big Red Apple. Big Red Apple is a San Bernardino -based business that was established
in 1974. The company provided facilities management and marketing services for the Orange
Show from 1986 -1994. Mr. Lewis' resume is attached.
On October 5, 1998, the Mayor and Council directed staff to negotiate with Big Red Apple for
the marketing and management of the Stadium and the California Theater. Subsequent to that
meeting, and based upon negotiations with Theater Arts International concerning the Theater, the
Mayor directed that the negotiations with Big Red Apple address only the Stadium.
Agreement Provisions
The proposal is for a one year contract for $5,000 per month ($60,000 annually), plus 20% of
gross rent and other income. Big Red Apple would assume responsibility for marketing the
stadium and facilitating special events, while Parks, Recreation, and Community Services would
continue to handle maintenance and grounds- keeping. Big Red Apple will also guarantee to
generate at least $60,000 in gross revenue over the term of the agreement (excluding revenue
paid to the City by the Stampede according to the terms of the lease, and any events already
scheduled at the time of the execution of the agreement). The City will also provide funding of
up to $15,000 for the development of a marketing plan for the stadium.
Financial Impact
No funds have been budgeted for stadium management services or marketing efforts, so a budget
amendment is required. For the remainder of the fiscal year, this contract would be in effect for
seven months (December — June). Therefore, only seven months of the contract cost should be
budgeted ($35,000). The budget must also be amended to include the development of the
marketing plan ($15,000). In terms of revenue for FY 1998 -99, only $15,000 in additional
revenues are anticipated due to the lag time between the start of work under the agreement and
the actual receipt of revenues. In FY 1999 -2000, the balance of the base contract ($25,000), base
revenues ($45,000), incentive payments, and additional revenues will be included in the Stadium
budget.
The agreement with Big Red Apple would potentially increase the use of the stadium and its
recognition as an excellent facility. Mr. Lewis of Big Red Apple is confident that he will exceed
the minimum level of revenue required in accordance with the agreement.
However, the agreement does present some financial risk. While the potential exists to increase
revenues and offset the Stadium Fund deficit, it may be some time before this is accomplished.
The performance incentives and revenue guarantee do offset this risk to some extent. Staff has
attempted to negotiate terms under which Big Red Apple would have been required to repay the
City the difference between the guarantee and the $60,000 payment; however, those terms were
not agreed to by the firm. The compromise provision will require Big Red Apple to continue
work uncompensated until the minimum revenue amount is reached.
In the short term, there may be a larger deficit in the Stadium Fund until additional revenue is
received.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Mayor and Council adopt the resolution authorizing the execution of
an agreement with Big Red Apple, reject all other bids, and approve the budget amendment.

TO: Mayor and Corrf n Council
FROM: Fred Wilson, ty Administrator
SUBJECT: Service Agreement with Big Red Apple -
Marketing and Management of the San Bernardino Stadium
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, documents not signed by the City Attorney are not
included in the agenda backup. In this instance, however, the
unsigned resolution and service agreement with Big Red Apple for
marketing and management of the San Bernardino Stadium is being
distributed for review by the Mayor and Common Council.
Big Red Apple and the City have agreed to all the provisions of
this agreement with the exception of Section 5. This Section
relates to the guarantee that the City will receive a minimum of
$60,000 in gross revenue over the term of the agreement. The City
Attorney had prepared additional language, as follows: "If the
guaranteed amount of gross revenue has not been received by City at
the end of the first year as provided herein, then Contractor shall
continue to provide marketing and management services for the
Stadium at no cost to City, but at a monthly value deemed to be
$5,000, until the amount of revenue received by City from such
gross revenue and services provided totals $60,000; or, if
Contractor refuses to provide such services under such conditions
or this provision is deemed unenforceable in a court of law, then
Contractor shall pay to City the difference between the amount of
gross revenue generated during the first year of said Agreement and
$60,000." Big Red Apple has not agreed to this provision.
Big Red Apple will be present at the November 16, 1998, meeting of
the Mayor and Common Council to discuss their concerns.
