INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
July 14, 1993
TO: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager
FROM: Louis Rigby, Director of Administrative Services
SUBJECT: RFP !{0053 -Golf Course Concessions
Requests for proposal /{0053 for consessions at Bay Forest Golf Course were mailed to eighteen
(18) prospective vendors with three (3) returning proposals: Kevin O'Brien, Chuck Berry, and
John Hunter. The proposals were to be evaluated using the following criteria: experience,
strength of financial condition, monthly percentage of gross sales proposed, price, size and
content of items to be sold, equipment to be installed, ability to meet all other conditions
specified, and references.
Following is the experience submitted by each offeror:
O'Brien - Golf Course 1 yr 3 mo* (Galveston)
Other 11 yr ('Tavern/Bar)
4 yr (Beach)
*was recently awarded concessions at Texas City Municipal Golf Course
Berry - Golf Course 10 yr 7 mo (Bay Forest, Clear Lake, Tour 18)
Other 3 yr (NCO Club - F.~lington)
Hunter - Golf Course 0 yr
Other Syr (Tavern w/food)
5 yr (Restaurant Mgr)
Jeff Litchfield reviewed the financial statements submitted and all three appear to be financially
sound.
O'Brien proposed the highest percentage to be paid to the City at 20% of gross sales. Berry
proposed 12% and Hunter proposed 1196. Mr. Berry is currently paying the City 1096. Gross
sales over the past nine (9) months have averaged $15,000. The 89b difference between O'Brien
and Bevy would amount to $1,200 per month.
• •
Food prices (attached) are competitive with Hunter's prices being the lowest for most items.
Drink prices vary with Hunter having the higher prices for beer, wine, and mixed drinks.
O'Brien and Hunter indicated they have sufficient equipment to be installed for service. Mr.
Berry stated that if he did not get the contract, he would offer for sale his installed equipment
to the new tenant.
It would be difficult to gauge Mr. O'Brien's or Mr. Hunter's ability to meet all other conditions
specified until after they had been in operation at the golf course. Each indicated that all other
conditions would be met in accordance with the proposal.
Alex Ormond met with the Golf Pro and Director of Golf at Galveston Municipal Golf Course
regarding Mr. O'Brien's abilities. They said that he had been at Galveston a little over a year
and while his services were adequate, revenues generated would be smaller than the operation
at Bay Forest. They also indicated that he did not hold a mixed beverage permit at the golf
course. Mr. O'Brien does have a mixed beverage permit for his other business located in
Dickinson, Chumley's Tavern.

Agreement
XX RESOLUTION ORDINANCE
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
In March of 1993, the City was approached by the La Porte Volunteer Fire
Department (LPVFD) about the City serving as their Trustee. At the time, they
had certain funds they had accumulated over the years and were distraught with
the interest earnings they were receiving in the open market (Certificates of
Deposit).
The LPVFD indicated the funds were the result of past fund raisers and they
used the interest off of the funds to pay for certain insurance premiums for
the department. The drastic decline in Certificate of Deposit rates has
greatly reduced the amount of interest available for the policies. They LPVFD
desired to piggy back off of the City's investment operation.
In March, the Director of Finance visited with members of the LPVFD and
accepted funds totaling $55,000 contingent upon the City and the LPVFD
reaching an written agreement as to rights and responsibilities.
Since March, the LPVFD has been credited with interest earnings on the amount
we have obtained from them. The rates they have earned, compared with the
open market, are:
City Open Market
March 5.29 3.00
April 6.37 2.97
May 5.75 2.92
June 8.31 3.08
While no guarantees are expressed or implied on future interest rates, the
City expects to continue their trend of earning more than the open market.
LPVFD funds will not be commingled with City Funds. They will be shown as
funds escrowed for the LPVFD and will have no impact on the City's Financial
Statements.
The attached contract has been reviewed and signed by the LPVFD.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL:
Approve or disprove the Resolution authorizing the City of La Porte to serve
as Trustee for the La Porte Volunteer Fire Department.
