Board of Airport Commissioners

RESOLUTION NO.      - Amendments to Concession Agreements LAA-8640 and LAA-8613 with URW Airports, LLC:  Covering terminal commercial management concession at Los Angeles International Airport, to allow said concessionaire to structure more flexible short-term concession opportunities, return unusable spaces, and enter into a limited duty-free concession agreement in the Tom Bradley International Terminal \nPURPOSE: Staff requests approval of the proposed Sixth Amendment to Concession Agreement LAA-8640 and Eighth Amendment to Concession Agreement LAA-8613 with URW Airports, LLC (URW) at Los Angeles International Airport. The proposed amendments will allow URW to develop new short-term agreements with more flexible economic terms to expand concessions opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses and provide opportunities to return space that may become economically unfavorable due to facility design changes. In addition, the proposed Eighth Amendment to Concession Agreement LAA-8613 will allow URW to subcontract with Los Angeles World Airports duty-free concession operator in the Tom Bradley International Terminal. \nRECOMMENDATIONS: Adoption of the Report requesting that the Board of Airport Commissioners determine that this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article III, Class 1 (18)(c) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; approve the Sixth Amendment to Concession Agreement LAA-8640 and Eighth Amendment to Concession Agreement LAA-8613 with URW Airports, LLC; find that this action is exempt from City Charter Sections 371(e)(10) and 372; and authorize the Chief Executive Officer, or designee, to execute said Amendments after approval as to form by the City Attorney and approval by the Los Angeles City Council.
