SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR, WITH REGARD TO ALL MATERIAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS, TO THE TEMPLATE CONCESSION
AGREEMENT ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT "A", AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE CONCESSION AGREEMENTS
WITH TERMS MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE APPROVED
TEMPLATE TO BE INDIVIDUALLY APPROVED, IF AT ALL, BY
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION, AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO SUSPEND AND/OR TERMINATE ANY
CONCESSION AGREEMENT IF HE OR SHE DEEMS IT TO BE IN THE
CITY'S BEST INTEREST.
WHEREAS, the City Commission, at its June 9, 2022 meeting, passed Resolution No.
2022-32205 and created, solely in the City's proprietary capacity and not in furtherance of any
regulatory function, an Outdoor Dining Concession Agreement Program ("the Program") for
selected restaurants with brick-and-mortar facilities and inside seating to offer food and
beverage services on the rights-of-way abutting the physical establishment; and
WHEREAS, the Program was created to serve the valid public purpose of promoting the
quality of the City's iconic brand by establishing high quality outdoor food and beverage service
on City property, and positively represent the City's brand by providing a public space where
residents and visitors can enjoy the City's world-renowned architecture and scenic sun-
drenched vistas; and
WHEREAS, the concessionaires in this Program include only the best restaurants in the
City, chosen at the City Manager's sole discretion, to sell food and beverages for dining at
outdoor cafés on the public rights-of way abutting a restaurant's indoor establishment; and

agreements, consistent with the terms of the Resolution and the template agreement attached
thereto for a term of two years, commencing October 1, 2022 and ending September 30, 2024;
and
WHEREAS, the City Commission, in Resolution No. 2022-32205, also authorized the

Concession Agreement Program for an additional two (2) year period and hereby approves the
Outdoor Dining Concession Agreement template attached here as Exhibit A for the period
commencing October 1, 2024 and ending September 30, 2026, for which the City Manager may
negotiate amendments from time-to-time with the approval of the City Commission; and
WHEREAS, because the concession program will be available only to each restaurant
abutting the public right-of-way with available space to locate the concession where the City's
land-use regulations allow sidewalk cafes, the City Commission determines that the public
benefit of competitive bidding for each concession agreement would not be served in this case;

following material changes to the original concession agreement template:

Concessionaire's sales tactics in or around the Concession Area are or may reasonably
be construed as reflections of the City's brand. Soliciting passersby defeats the public
purpose advanced by this Agreement by damaging the City's brand, and taking away from

promenades. Therefore, Concessionaire specifically agrees not to solicit passersby or to
distribute commercial handbills to passersby as set forth in paragraph 84 of this
Agreement. Concessionaire hereby knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waives any
putative free speech right under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or

foregoing waiver), and has made the voluntary and informed decision to do so.

Agreement, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before one arbitrator,fluent in English,
pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA Rules") in force on the date of the Request for Arbitration. The venue and seat of
the arbitration shall be Miami Beach, Florida. The language of the arbitration shall be
10
English.
The Parties agree that, for the sake of efficiency, Notice(s) of Breach of Concession
Agreement shall not be subject to.arbitration unless and until the City Manager suspends
or terminates this Agreement. If the City Manager suspends or terminates this Agreement,
it is the intent of the Parties that all matters prerequisite to a suspension or termination for

Concession in front of its premises, that new proposed Concessionaire shall provide the
City Manager with notice of such intent stating the proposed Concessionaire's name; the

created by the Concessionaire, and are peculiar to that portion of the right-of-way,
