COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Exercise Two (2) One (1) Year Renewal Terms Of The
Agreement Between The City And Spectra Management Group For The Operation, Management,
Maintenance, Promotion And Marketing Of The Miami Beach Convention Center And Colony Theatre;
Waiving, By 517th Vote, The Competitive Bidding Requirement Pursuant To Section 2-367_Of The City
Code For The Limited Purpose Of Approving An Additional Two(2)Year Renewal Term And Finding Such
Waiver To Be In The Best Interest Of The City; And Authorizing The Mayor And City Clerk To Execute
Amendment No.2 Of Said Agreement,With Said Agreement Having A Term Commencing On October 1,
2016, And Ending On September 30, 2020.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Improve the Convention Center Facility
Supporting Data(Surveys, Environmental Scan,etc.):
The 2014 Community Satisfaction Survey indicated that 64%of residents feel tourism add to their quality
of life and 39% of business owners feel the Convention Center adds to their business.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
On July 17,2013,the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2013-28276,waiving by 5/7ths
vote, the competitive bidding requirement finding such waiver to be in the best interest of the City, and
authorizing the City and Global to negotiate and execute a new Management Agreement. Subsequently,
the Administration entered into an agreement with Global Spectrum with an initial term that commenced on
October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016. The Agreement includes two (2) additional one (1) year
renewal options at the City's sole and absolute discretion. In April 2015, Comcast Spectacor, the parent
company of Global Spectrum, realigned their venue management,food services and hospitality,ticketing,
and digital services under a singular, unified brand: Spectra.
In light of the impending convention center renovation and expansion project, the Administration began
discussing a contract extension with Spectra in order to maintain continuity through the renovation. The
City and Spectra have negotiated the following:
• The City exercises the remaining two(2)years on the Management Agreement and extends the
Agreement for an additional two (2) years. This ensures continuity of management into a fully
operational year post-renovation. This term also aligns with that of the proposed GMCVB
agreement and creates incentive for both entities to maximize revenue opportunities for the
immediate period after renovation.
• The City and Spectra agree to keep the existing financial structure of the current Management
Agreement.
The current agreement also includes a Performance Guarantee, if not achieved,that reduces the earned
9 ,
incentive by up to 50%if the net operating revenue varies unfavorably from budget by more than$50,000.
Due to the uncertainty of operating climate during renovation and anticipated impact on revenue,Spectra
and the City have agreed to delete this clause from the agreement.The City Administration recommends
eliminating the Performance Guarantee because Spectra have agreed to keep all other terms and
conditions the same. Furthermore,the Administration also recommends exercising the remaining two(2)
renewal options and waiving competitive bidding to add an additional 2 years, which extends the
Agreement through September 30,2020. This ensures continuity of management into a fully operational
year post-renovation.

approved an agreement between the City and Global Spectrum, L.P. for the Management of the
Miami Beach Convention Center, Colony Theater, and Byron Carlyle Theater. The Agreement

operation and management of the Byron Carlyle Theater following the City Commission's
approval of a management agreement with Broward Stage Door Theater. On September 14,
2011, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2011-27728 extending the Management
Agreement for an additional two (2) years.
On July 17, 2013, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2013-28276, waiving
by 5/7ths vote, the competitive bidding requirement finding such waiver to be in the best interest
of the City, and authorizing the City and Global to negotiate and execute a new Management
Agreement. Subsequently, the Administration entered into an agreement with Global Spectrum
with an initial term that commenced on October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016. The
Agreement includes two (2) additional one (1) year renewal options at the City's sole and
absolute discretion.
In April 2015, Comcast Spectacor, the parent company of Global Spectrum, realigned their
venue management, food services and hospitality, ticketing, and digital services under a
singular, unified brand: Spectra.
In the current fiscal year (FY 14/15) Spectra is projected to improve Net Operating Income by
more than $500,000. This was accomplished while also maintaining or improving customer
service and facility maintenance standards. During this time period, Spectra also played a key
role in drafting an Amended and Restated Convention Center Booking Policy and helped to
move it through the approval process with all stakeholders. Spectra has also assisted with
GMCVB contract negotiations and has been instrumental in the Convention Center renovation
project ensuring the project meets all operational requirement for facility users. They also
successfully negotiated new license agreements or termination agreements with Art Basel in
Miami Beach, Miami International Boat Show and INDA. These were particularly challenging
negotiations due to the phasing plan and construction schedule for the renovation project.

ANALYSIS
In light of the impending convention center renovation and expansion project, the Administration
began discussing a contract extension with Spectra in order to maintain continuity through the
renovation. The City and Spectra have negotiated the following:
•- The City exercises the remaining two (2) years on the Management Agreement and
• - extends the Agreement for an additional two (2) years. This ensures continuity of
management into a fully operational year post-renovation. This term also aligns with that
of the proposed GMCVB agreement and creates incentive for both entities to maximize
revenue opportunities for the immediate period after renovation. -
• The City and Spectra agree to keep the existing financial structure of the current
Management Agreement.
• Base Management Fee: Current fee of $262,691 will be adjusted by the change in CPI
starting September 1, 2015 and in all subsequent years.
• Incentive Fees: No change from the current agreement
o Customer Satisfaction - Up to 30% of base management fee
• Up to 25 percentage points based on survey results for ten areas (up to
2.5 each)
• Up'.to 5 percentage points based on survey return rates. Must get
minimum return rate of 55% to earn any points.
o Financial Performance - Up to 50% of base management fee
• Requires annual operating revenue of$17 million to earn any points
O Maintenance and Improvement of Facility and Capital Equipment— Up to 15% of
base management fee
o Discretionary— Up to 5% of,base management fee
• Performance Guarantee: The current agreement provides for a reduction of earned
incentives (up to a max of 50%), in the event that net building operating income varies
unfavorably from budget by greater than $50,000 (adjusted for circumstances outside
the control of Spectra). Due to the uncertainty of operating climate during renovation, ,
Spectra and the City have agreed.to delete this clause from the agreement.
As you can see, fifty percent (50%) of the Incentive Criteria requires Spectra to generate at least
. $17 million in gross operating revenue, which remains unchanged from the current agreement.
However, during construction the number of events taking place in the Convention Center has
been reduced and Spectra is not able to book additional events. They are currently projecting
gross revenue during construction to be between $6 million and $9 million depending on the
year Therefore, they will not generate near $17 million in gross revenue-or-:have the ability to
earn 50% of the potential incentive.
The current agreement also includes a Performance Guarantee, if not achieved, that reduces
the earned incentive by up to 50% if the net operating revenue varies unfavorably from budget
by more than $50,000. The City Administration recommends eliminating the Performance
Guarantee because Spectra have agreed to keep all other terms and conditions the same.
Furthermore, the Administration also recommends exercising the remaining two (2) renewal
options and waiving competitive bidding to add an additional 2- years,- which extends the
Agreement through September 30, 2020. This ensures continuity of management into a fully
operational year post-renovation.

options and waiving competitive bidding to add an additional 2 years, which extends the
Agreement through September 30, 2020 of the agreement between the City and Global
Spectrum, for the operation, management, maintenance, promotion and marketing of the Miami
