A. SELECTION PROCEDURE Sole Source Other Describe: B. NEGOTIATIONS Instructions: Describe the nature of negotiations conducted, including negotiations with respect to the amount of revenue offered. Following FCRC approval to enter into negotiations with The New York Shakespeare Festival, Inc d/b/a The Public Theater ("The Public Theater" or “Licensee”), the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation ("Parks") and The Public Theater conducted meetings to discuss the terms of this License Agreement ("License Agreement"). In lieu of a license fee, Licensee shall use any revenue it receives from the operation of the Concession to offset the cost of free events at The Delacorte Theater and the cost of operation and maintenance of The Delacorte Theater. C. BASIS FOR AWARD (If sole source award, attach the offer; if other than a sole source award, attach the three highest rated offers, if applicable.) The agency determined that award of the concession is in the best interest of the City because: Parks believes that it is in the best interests of the City of New York (the "City") to award a license agreement to The Public Theater for the operation and maintenance of a food, beverage, and merchandise concession at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park. The Public Theater, a non-profit corporation, was formed in 1962 for the purpose of presenting free theater productions in the City, including the popular Free Shakespeare in the Park programming at The Delacorte Theater. In 2013, Parks and the Public Theater entered into a ten-year license agreement whereby The Public Theater operates and maintains the Delacorte Theater as a public theatre for the production of free cultural and educational presentations for the benefit of the people of the City. Parks received FCRC approval to negotiate a concession agreement with The Public Theater for the operation and maintenance of a food, beverage, and merchandise concession at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park, and the license agreement would not exceed the term of the existing license agreement. Joseph Papp founded The New York Shakespeare Festival (now known as The Public Theater) to present free performances of Shakespeare in public parks, churches, and community centers throughout New York City. This radical endeavor in access and artistic engagement found a permanent home with the opening of The Delacorte Theater in Central Park on June 18, 1962. Since then, The Public Theater’s longest running program has become one of the most venerable cultural programs in the city, serving over five million people with more than 150 free productions to date.
