HUBER BEN CEJA YOLANDA CHAVEZ ERIC GARCETTI MAYOR REQUEST FOR BIDS PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES Addendum #1 (Extension Notice and Responses to Questions) February 12, 2019 Extension Notice: Responses from all prospective bidders has been extended one week to 2:00 P.M. PST on Thursday, February 28, 2019. Responses to Questions: 1. In addition to the Cover Letter (submittal item A), can resumes and administrative elements of the proposal (submittal items G through J) be excluded from the 15 page limit? Yes, resumes and administrative elements may be excluded from the 15 page limit. 2. Can the CAO provide guidance on its evaluation criteria and the relative importance of the various submittals (qualifications, resumes, cost, etc.)? Firms will be evaluated in two phases by a panel of City staff based on the following rating criteria: Inclusion Evaluation Criteria Points All Proposals Phase I – Written Response Overall Quality and Responsiveness of the Proposal 10 Proposed Approach 30 Experience and Qualifications 40 Proposed Level of Fees – Best Overall Value 20 Total Phase I 100 Short List Only Phase II – Oral Interviews Required Topics (to be provided) 35 Questions and Answers 15 Total Phase II 50 TOTAL POINTS 150 473-7500 The City review panel will score all respondents in Phase I. Based on these evaluations, the City will select no more than five firms to advance to oral interviews in Phase II. The final selection will be determined by both the written proposal and the results of the oral interview process, based on the scoring criteria above. 3. Are there minimum requirements or scoring advantage or preference related to the use of MBE/WBE/SBE/EBE/DVBE/OBEs? While there are no minimum requirements or scoring advantages related to the use of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Emerging Business Enterprise (EBE), Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) or Other Business Enterprise (OBE) firms, the City’s position is to encourage bidders to include such business enterprises. It continues to be the City’s policy to provide MBE, WBE, SBE, EBE, DVBE, and OBE an equal opportunity to participate in the performance of City contracts. This policy continues to be a high priority of the Mayor and City Council. As such, we urge all bidders to continue to make a good faith effort to provide such firms an opportunity to participate if utilizing subcontractors. The City does provide a local business preference of 8% for local prime contractors and 5% for local subcontractors in accordance with the City’s Local Business Preference Ordinance. Firms who qualify must fill out the attached Local Business Certification Affidavit of Eligibility in order to receive the scoring preference (Attachment 1). 4. Does the City intend to separately use an Independent Registered Municipal Advisor from its municipal advisor pool? In the event that the City needs to evaluate the use of long term municipal bonds or decides to finance the Project with such bonds, the City may decide to separately use an Independent Registered Municipal Advisor from the existing list of firms prequalified to perform such services (Council File 17-1388) or from the City’s current contract for General Financial Advisors (Council File 14-0412). 5. What is CAOs anticipated timeline for the P3 FA interviews, selection and contract award? The tentative schedule to evaluate and select a P3 Financial Advisor is as follows: Submission Deadline 2:00 P.M. PST on Thursday, February 28, 2019 Short List of Firms Notified Week of March 11, 2019 Conduct Oral Interviews Weeks of March 11 and 18, 2019 Finalize Selection and Award Contract Week of March 25, 2019 2 6. Can the City provide a copy of the agreement in place with AEG regarding the existing Convention Center operations? For your reference, attached are copies of the original Management and Operation Agreement between the City of Los Angeles and AEG Management LACC, LLC (Attachment 2) as well as first amendment extending the term of the original Agreement (Attachment 3). 7. The Scope of Work references analysis and negotiation support during the term sheet negotiations (which we expect will memorialize all key business terms agreed). a. Does the City anticipate fully developing the implementation agreement and reaching commercial and financial close by the end of the ENA term in December 2019? Yes, the City’s goal is to completely develop the Implementation Agreement during the Exclusive Negotiating Period to present to the Council and Mayor for final consideration, with commercial and financial close occurring soon after. b. Please confirm the P3 FA would continue to support between the term sheet finalization and such commercial and financial close activities, and those should be factored into the cost proposal. Yes, that is correct. 8. To confirm will the technical requirements that form the basis of KPIs be developed by the City or technical consultants separately retained? Key Performance Indicators will be developed by the City with the assistance of the P3 Financial Advisor. The City’s expectation is that responding firms will subcontract with technical consultants if necessary. 9. In order to facilitate the timely addition of specialty subconsultants with various forms of technical expertise related to cost estimation, maintenance and convention center operations required as part of the scope of work, may we request an extension of the proposal submission deadline by one week? Yes, the deadline for responses from all prospective bidders has been extended one week to 2:00 P.M. PST on Thursday, February 28, 2019. The tentative schedule provided in Question 5 of this Addendum reflects the revised submission deadline. 10. Is the evidence of required insurance minimum coverages to be submitted with the RFB response, or produced only once the consulting team is selected by the City? Compliance with the City’s insurance minimums will be required after the consulting team is selected by the City. 3 Attachment 1 Local Business Certification Affidavit of Eligibility LOCAL BUSINESS CERTIFICATION AFFIDAVIT OF ELIGIBILITY Name of Firm________________________________________ BAVN Company ID Number______________ Business Address___________________________________________________________________________ City, State, Zip Code_________________________________________________________________________ Telephone Number______________ Fax Number______________ E-mail Address______________________ I declare that _________________________________________________________________ (Firm’s Name) 1.

  • Mobile Food Vending and the Public Realm: a Seattle Study
    Mobile Food Vending and the Public Realm: A Seattle Study Jenny Ngo A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2012 Committee: Dennis Ryan Branden Born Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning University of Washington Abstract Mobile Food Vending and the Public Realm: A Seattle Study Jenny Ngo Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dennis Ryan Urban Design and Planning Due to its position in the public realm, low public-investment costs and popularity among residents, mobile food vending presents a potentially effective means of improving streetscapes and amenities within a neighborhood. The flexible and adaptable nature of mobile food vending provides opportunities for increased vitality, walkability and pedestrian activity for the public realm. This research explores the design potential of mobile food vending two-fold: if mobile food vending is effective at contributing to Seattle’s design goals of an “attractive, vibrant and liveable city” and what qualities of vending make it effective at addressing these goals. The research used structured observational studies for 20 vending sites within Seattle and evaluated the ways in which mobile food vendors addressed these citywide goals through three site characteristics: public or private ownership of the property, the duration of the vending unit and distance from the sidewalk. Through these evaluations, this research has found great variability in the ability for mobile food vendors to address design criteria and issues of walkability based on these factors. The distance from the sidewalk was the most showed the most variability in these results, however locating on public or private property as well as a vendor’s duration has additional implications to how vendors affect the public realm.

National and local media picked at the story after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed new regulations, which promised to severely restrict food trucks, referred to as "loncheros"or "taco trucks," in East Los Angeles.2 The authorities and business interests supporting the restrictions argued that the food trucks were a cumbersome and unsightly form of vending. On the opposite side, loncheros, foodies, and those looking for cheap meals viewed the restrictions as a full-frontal attack on local Los Angeles, the food scene, and Mexican food cultures.' Culinary resistance and enforcement of the new restrictions resulted in taco truck litigation.

  • GOURMET FOOD TRUCKS: an ETHNOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION of ORLANDO's FOOD TRUCK SCENE by ZACHARY ARLO HAWK B.A. University of Central
    GOURMET FOOD TRUCKS: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION OF ORLANDO’S FOOD TRUCK SCENE by ZACHARY ARLO HAWK B.A. University of Central Florida 2008 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2013 Major Professor: Ty Matejowsky © 2013 Zachary Arlo Hawk ii ABSTRACT Gourmet food trucks have emerged as increasingly popular dining alternatives for consumers in today’s urban landscape. Existing literature, as well as my own ethnographic research within Orlando, Florida’s mobile food vending scene, reveals that food truck owner/operators utilize various strategies to establish a viable niche for themselves in this diversified and burgeoning market. Among other things, these strategies include online social networking, creating and maintaining a recognizable brand identity, collaborating with local retailers and bar owners, and incorporating organic and locally produced ingredients in their dishes whenever possible. As in other parts of the country, there appears to be a growing concern in greater Orlando about local diets and the profound and subtle messages it conveys about contemporary eating habits. I contend that dining at gourmet food trucks represents a legitimate declaration of consumer identity about individual beliefs and values. In my thesis, I examine how Orlando’s gourmet food trucks offer consumers a greater selection of food options and allow locals to participate in a viable social network and community. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Foremost, I would like to thank all of my interviewees, Joey, Viveca, Joel, Steve, and Tim.

  • Kogi Truck Culture
    UCLA InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies Title Kogi Truck Culture Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/743896px Journal InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies, 7(1) ISSN 1548-3320 Author Choy, Vivian Publication Date 2011-01-28 DOI 10.5070/D471000689 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California With featured spreads on the BBC and in the New York Times , and Newsweek , the Los Angeles-based Kogi Korean Taco Truck’s fame has certainly spread beyond the limits of Southern California. Dubbed “America’s First Viral Eatery” by Newsweek (Romano, 2009), excitement has hardly dimmed since its “opening” in November of 2008. The truck’s number of Twitter followers was reaching nearly 76,000 as of October 7, 2010. Founded by Mark Manguera, Caroline Shin-Manguera, and Chef Roy Choi, the Kogi Truck cuisine is a fusion of Mexican eats with a Korean flair. Chef Choi recounts how “these cultures— Mexican and Korean—really form the foundation of this city … Kogi is my representation of L.A. in a single bite” (Romano, 2009). With a current fleet of four trucks (named Roja, Azul, Verde, and Naranja) devoted followers rely on Twitter and the Web to track the trucks’ locations. “Kogi,” meaning “meat” in Korean, is certainly a reflection of what they serve most. Their popular menu items feature tacos and burritos stuffed with Korean BBQ short rib or Korean spicy pork. According to Ben Bergman of National Public Radio, the most well liked entrée consists of the “short rib taco stuffed with marinated beef and topped off with lettuce, cabbage chili salsa and cilantro relish” (Bergman, 2009).
