Authorize the County Procurement Officer or Deputized designee to execute Amendment Number Six to extend the contract with Unison Consulting, Inc. for Concession Consulting Services at John Wayne Airport, effective August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2025, in the amount of $313,914, for a revised cumulative total Contract amount not to exceed $1,555,656.

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

Approval of Amendment Number Six to the Unison Consulting, Inc. contract for Concession Consulting Services will enable the Commercial & Revenue Development division at John Wayne Airport to continue efficient concession planning services, analysis, phasing consultation, and comprehensive assessment and planning strategy for its Concession programs at John Wayne Airport.

 

 


 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

On March 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors (Board) authorized John Wayne Airport (JWA) to release the Phase I Request for Proposals (RFP) for new concessions, which identifies several potential new concession sites in addition to the current Specialty Retail and Food & Beverage offerings.

 

On May 31, 2019, JWA issued an RFP after the Board authorized the release of Phase I RFP for new concessions for analysis, planning, development, RFP support and phasing consultation in the following service areas: Specialty Retail and Food & Beverage Concessions; Rental Car Concessions; and General Aviation. The RFP allowed proposals to be submitted on all three service categories or could be submitted separately for one or more services. JWA received a proposal from Unison Consulting, Inc. (Unison) for Concession Consulting Services. 

 

On July 30, 2019, the Board approved Contract MA-280-19012018 (Contract) with Unison for concession planning services for its Specialty Retail and Food & Beverage Concessions and Rental Car Concessions programs with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods. This Contract covers continuing research and review for future concession planning, solicitation strategy and support, RFP panel support, RFP implementation support, phasing of concession development support and tenant improvement submittal support. The Contract was utilized during major delays to large projects because of COVID-19 and during the transitioning of division leadership and Airport staff. As a result, both time and cost savings were utilized as JWA navigated the pandemic and utility planning for the Concession Development Program (CDP).

*Authorized by Board pursuant to Section 3.3-107 of the 2019 and 2021 Contract Policy Manual

** Administrative Amendment to update Attachment C, Staffing Plan

 

JWA is requesting to extend the Contract for one additional year based on the need for continued services for phasing implementation and evaluation analysis of the CDP. The contract will also assist the commercial business programs with as-needed analysis of business programs and support.

 

JWA is proposing the continuation of these services pursuant to Section 3.3-102 of the 2021 Contract Policy Manual.

 

JWA will receive continued services while evaluating resources and business needs and, as appropriate, issue a comprehensive solicitation to continue Concession Consulting Services on an as-needed basis upon contract expiration.

 

The Contractor’s performance has been confirmed as at least satisfactory. JWA has verified there are no concerns that must be addressed with respect to the Contractor’s ownership/name, litigation status or conflicts with County interests.

 

The Contract does not include subcontractors. See Attachment C for the Contract Summary Form. The Orange County Preference Policy was not applicable to this Contract award when the solicitation was issued.

 

Compliance with CEQA: This action is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is therefore not subject to CEQA since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this agenda item does not commit the County to a definite course of action regarding a project since it is an approval for an extension of a contract for continued concession planning services. This proposed activity is therefore not subject to CEQA. Any future action connected to this approval that constitutes a project will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.

 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

Appropriations for this Contract are included in Fund 280, Airport Operating, FY 2024-25 Budget and will be included in the budgeting process for future years.

 

The Contract referenced in this agenda item contains language that permits termination if services are not needed or a solicitation is completed.
