SUBJECT: LAGUNA LAKE GOLF COURSE FOOD/BEVERAGE
CONCESSIONAIRE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Approve the release of a Request for Proposal for a food and beverage concessionaire at Laguna Lake
Golf Course and authorize the CAO to award the contract to the best proposer.
DISCUSSION
The Laguna Lake Golf Course (LLGC) is a 9-hole executive course which opened in the mid-1960's
and has been operated by the City of San Luis Obispo since the early 1980's. At one time, food and
beverage service in the form of a snack bar was available at the course, but that function has not been
fully offered for several years. Currently, pre-packaged snacks and sandwiches are sold along with an
assortment of sodas, water and other beverages, which are kept in two large display refrigerators in the
pro shop.
The golf course has been an enterprise fund since the City took over the course operations, yet has not
been successful in recovering all of its direct costs for the past 10 years. In 2003, staff prepared a status
report for Council regarding ways to enhance the revenues so that the golf course would be able to
recover more of its direct costs. (A copy of the 2003 report is in the Council Reading File.) Several
aspects of successful golf course amenities were listed in the report and the lack of a food and beverage
service at LLGC was identified as a limitation to revenue growth. During the 2007-08 golf course rate
review,the idea of pursuing this amenity was discussed with Council as a potential for more revenues.
Staff has been evaluating the feasibility of having a food beverage service in place. One local vendor
has come forward with an interest in providing a food/beverage operation at LLGC and as a result of that
interest, staff has moved forward and prepared a request for proposal (RFP) for a concessionaire to
provide such service. A possible proposal could offer any or all of the following: breakfast, lunch and
light dinner meals, beer and wine sales, small snack bar offerings, catering to large groups and a
beverage cart service on the course.
Approximately 700 square feet of the pro shop building could be devoted to a food and beverage
operation. A portion of the existing back office area that was once the snack bar could serve as the
kitchen and shared space for storage, while a portion of the public area would be devoted as a service
area, allowing the existing pro shop activity to continue. The concessionaire would need to bring this
area up to health department code before the service could be offered.

CONCURRENCES
Community Development staff has indicated that the zoning for LLGC, which is PF—Public Facilities,
could allow an accessory concessionaire operation to occur in conjunction with the existing golf
operations. The Finance and IT Department, Risk Manager, and City Attorney's office have given input
on the RFP.
FISCAL IMPACT
Currently, the food services offered at LLGC are pre-packaged food and beverages; onsite food
preparation does not occur. The annual cost for this service nets a profit of$2,100 for the golf course
enterprise fund-$11,700 in revenues less$9,600 in expenses based upon the FY 2007-08 budget.
The contract award will be based upon several factors, not just price, as outlined in the RFP: ability to
make necessary improvements, experience in food/beverage services, type of menu, and hours of
operation.
With a concessionaire, the annual "cost of foods sold" budget would be eliminated or reduced
significantly from the operating budget. Revenues for rent of the space in the pro shop along with a
percentage of the gross sales could have the potential to exceed the revenues currently received and aid
in moving towards revenue recovery that would at least recover the direct costs of operating the golf
course. Since this is a new venture, it is unknown what the full revenue potential would be, but it is
anticipated that it will be much greater than the current profits already received from the current food
and beverage operations. Reports will be given to Council during the annual golf course rate review
once a concessionaire has been contracted.
ALTERNATIVES
I) If Council declines or delays the release of the RFP, the current operations would continue as is
and the ability for the golf course to recover additional revenue needed to offset direct operating
costs would remain limited.
2) The City could offer to bring the facility up to health and safety standards. This is not feasible,
given the City's current fiscal situation and there is little in the golf enterprise fund to
accomplish the work. At the earliest, work would not begin for a few months after a CIP request
is approved, which could occur at the mid-year budget cycle and delay a concessionaire to
provide service until mid-2009.
3) The City could negotiate directly with a vendor who has expressed an interest in being a
concessionaire at LLGC. However, we believe that issuing an RFP is the preferred process for
this.

Section A
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Background:
Laguna Lake Golf Course, owned and operated by the City of San Luis Obispo, is a 9-hole, executive
length course that has been in operation since the mid-1960's. Staff prides itself on a well-maintained
facility and consistently receives positive feedback on the course upkeep and the high level of customer
service provided by City staff. The site is located approximately 100 yards from a public middle school
and is adjacent to a senior mobile home park, condominiums, and private residences. A shopping center
is approximately V2 mile from the golf course.
The pro shop is the base of operations for the course. Staff manages tee times, sales of food and
merchandise, and serves as starter for the course. At one time, the pro shop had a snack bar when the
course was under private management. Since the City took over the course operations in the early
1980's, there has not been food service options offered other than simple vending items, such as sodas,
pre-packaged food, candy bars, etc. The proposed area currently serves as the office for the golf course
supervisor, supply storage and work area. Concessionaire facilities that meet current health department
codes are not in place at the golf course and the successful proposer will be responsible for any upgrades
needed to bring the area up to code.
Typically, the clientele is mostly seniors during the weekday mornings, youth golf two to three days a
week in the afternoons, and general play for the rest of the day. The course is operated 364 days a year,
closing only on Christmas Day. Approximately 40,000 rounds are played each year at the golf course.
A 2003 report to City Council indicated that there would be a benefit to offering food and beverage
service at the golf course. At the annual budget status report presented to the City Council in May 2008,
staff reviewed the 2003 report and Council encouraged staff to seek a possible food/beverage vendor to
enhance the service provided at the golf course and to assist in bringing in a new revenue source to help
offset operating costs.
Criteria for Proposal:
In responding to this request for proposal, the proposer should provide the following:.
1. The proposer would be responsible for any improvements needed to bring the facility up to
health and safety codes necessary for safe and sanitary food operations. The cost for the improvements
would be borne by the proposer and must meet State building codes and County Health Department
requirements. Please provide detail on the types of improvements needed, an approximate cost for the
improvements, and square footage needed to operate the service.
2. The City will consider a long-term agreement with the proposer, subject to negotiation of terms
agreeable to both parties. Financial compensation for improvements made on site to comply with health
and safety regulations will be negotiated as a part of the agreement. Proposals should indicate
preliminary terms for the agreement including rent, percentage of gross revenues to be given to the City,
and length of the agreement.
3. Ability to obtain necessary insurance certificates to cover general liability and liquor liability, if
a license to serve alcohol is planned by the proposer.
-I- C a., —

4. Ability to meet the qualifications to obtain a license to serve alcohol through Alcohol Beverage

To the extent that these specifications constitute performance specifications,the City shall not be

material, minor or trivial, and irrespective of whether or not a change order, time extension, or
additional compensation has been granted by City. Failure to provide the hereinbefore described
written notice within one (1) working day of contractor's becoming aware of the facts giving rise
to the dispute shall constitute a waiver of the right to assert the causative role of the defect or
ambiguity in the plans or specifications concerning the dispute.
