The document is the Denver International Airport (DEN) Concessions Handbook Version 1.0, published on March 1, 2024, which serves as a comprehensive reference guide for concessionaires operating within the airport. The handbook provides detailed guidelines covering various aspects of concession operations, including tenant work permit procedures, design standards, construction requirements, signage regulations, performance expectations, and operational protocols. It outlines the rules and regulations that concessionaires must follow, covering areas such as design submissions, construction processes, maintenance obligations, financial reporting, marketing requirements, and performance review mechanisms.

The handbook establishes specific financial and operational requirements for concessionaires, including mandatory minimum capital investments, percentage compensation structures, and joint marketing fund contributions. Concessionaires are required to submit monthly and annual revenue reports, pay percentage fees based on gross revenues, and maintain a 1% joint marketing fund contribution. The document emphasizes first-class service standards, sustainability practices, and compliance with city, state, and federal regulations. It also details specific requirements for pricing, sales categories, deductions, and performance audits, with provisions for potential remediation if concessionaires fail to meet the established standards and expectations.

CHAPTER 1: TENANT WORK PERMIT GUIDE OVERVIEW

ARTICLE I. INTRODUCTION

The City and County of Denver, by and through its Department of Aviation (“City”), strives to maintain the First-Class standards for customer service, facilities, maintenance, cleanliness, and security that passengers have grown to expect at the Denver International Airport (“DEN”). To ensure extraordinary standards and service, Concessionaires and their permittees, contractors, vendors, and employees are required to comply with DEN’s Rules and Regulations pertaining to conduct and to Concession operation and performance on DEN property or in any DEN building, as well as all other rules and regulations which are applicable to the operation of their respective businesses. This Concessions Handbook and Tenant Work Permit Guide (“Handbook”) offers general guidelines and procedures, clarifies DEN rules and regulations, and answers questions Concessionaires may have about operating successfully at DEN.

The information in this Handbook is not all inclusive and is subject to change at any time. This Handbook, as it may be updated from time to time, is incorporated in the Concessionaire’s Agreement (“Agreement”). Any waiver by the City of requirements herein is not a permanent waiver and does not affect the City’s right to later enforce the same requirement or to revoke the waiver. The most current version of this Handbook will be available to download from DEN’s business website.

ARTICLE II. REFERENCE TO TERMS

Except as the context otherwise requires and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the capitalized terms in this Handbook shall have the same meaning as any similarly capitalized terms defined in the Agreement or any Exhibit thereto, including the City and County of Denver and its Department of Aviation (“City”), the Denver International Airport (“DEN”), the Chief Executive Officer of the Department of Aviation (“CEO”), the Executive Vice President Chief Commercial Officer of the Department of Aviation (“EVP”), the Senior Vice President of Concessions (“SVP of Concessions”), or the Contract Administrator (“Administrator”).

ARTICLE III. CONTACT INFORMATION

Within sixty (60) days of Execution of the Agreement, the Concessionaire must submit a completed Form A, a copy of which is attached to this Handbook, to concessions@flydenver.com, stating the names and contact information of their General Manager(s) and other manager(s) and supervisor(s) at DEN, and must update Form A whenever a change to such personnel is made. It is each Concessionaire’s responsibility to ensure updated and accurate emergency information is given to the City when any changes occur in management. This information is for DEN's use only and will not be distributed publicly. Questions about design, construction, and maintenance of the Premises by Concessionaire should be submitted in writing to the Concessions Tenant Finish Manager.

ARTICLE IV. USEFUL INFORMATION

Operating a Concession at DEN is very different from operating a business in a traditional setting.

Customer Service through First Class operations is always a priority of the City. It is imperative each Concessionaire becomes part of DEN’s community and share this priority.

The following information provides general points of contact and sources of information with which Concessionaire should become familiar. Concessionaires should post this list on a visible wall within the Concession area to ensure all employees are familiar with these numbers.

Additionally, Concessionaire must pay all applicable sales and use taxes and comply with DEN environmental controls and specifications, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 USC 12,000 et seq., and its related regulations.

In addition to the above, Concessionaire and its contractors must comply with all DEN specific rules and regulations regarding site access, use of site, safety, security, design, and construction.

Concessionaire and its contractors must obtain and pay for all related permits. Failure to comply will be grounds for denial of access and/or suspension of construction activities. Regulations in force specific to DEN include but are not limited to the following:

1. Denver Municipal Airport System Rules and Regulations (https://www.flydenver.com/about-den/governance/rules-and-regulations/ )

2. DEN Design Standard Manual (“DSMs”) (https://www.flydenver.com/app/uploads/2023/09/denTenantDSM.pdf )

SECTION 1.02 REQUIRED MINIMUM CAPITAL INVESTMENT

Concessionaire must make minimum capital investments for its Premises, construct all initial improvements to their Premises, and furnish and equip each Premises at the level necessary for First Class operations. The Minimum Capital Investment amount for each Concessionaire is set forth in the Summary of Contract Provisions in the Concessionaire’s Agreement (the “Summary Page”). Such capital investments will be completed in strict conformity with the final plans and specifications of an Approved Project.

The Minimum Capital Investment shall not include financial costs, interest, inventory, pre-opening expenses, or intra-company charges, but may include architectural and engineering fees not to exceed fifteen (15%) of the total. The Minimum Capital Investment is a material part of the consideration to the City under all Agreements.

Within sixty (60) days after the concession opening, Concessionaire must file with DEN releases for the above expenditures and a statement certified by its architect setting forth the total construction costs with appropriate detail itemizing design fees, original construction contract amount, total change orders, decorations, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment and the costs of each listed item (“Actual Capital Investment”). At DEN's request, Concessionaire must submit copies of invoices supporting such costs. Non-receipted expenditures will not be credited. If the https://www.flydenver.com/about-den/governance/rules-and-regulations/ https://www.flydenver.com/app/uploads/2023/09/denTenantDSM.pdf https://www.flydenver.com/app/uploads/2023/09/tenantManual-1.pdf total amount of Actual Capital Investment is less than the Minimum Capital Investment, Concessionaire must pay to DEN the difference between such total cost (as detailed by the certified receipts) and the Minimum Capital Investment within thirty (30) days after DEN provides written notice to the Concessionaire. However, the CEO has delegated the authority to SVP of Concessions to waive the requirement to pay the difference between actual and required upon a finding that the Concessionaire constructed the Premises Improvements in strict conformity with the final plans and specifications as described above.

SECTION 1.03 PREMISES IMPROVEMENTS AND TRADE FIXTURES

All Premises Improvements and Trade Fixtures must be First-Class, safe, attractive, in compliance with all applicable codes, and may be installed only with DEN's prior written approval.

ARTICLE II: DESIGN

SECTION 2.01 DESIGN STANDARDS

First Class design and construction of the Premises are required, and all Premises Improvements shall conform to applicable statutes, ordinances, building codes, and regulations; DEN’s Design Principles, and Design Standards Manual or “DSM”; the Tenant Development Guidelines or “TDGs”; and any other applicable design, construction, and maintenance standard; and including as any of these may be amended from time to time. Approval by DEN extends to all design and construction elements (e.g., architectural, structural, mechanical, specialty systems, site, signage, materials, color selections, landscaping, and aesthetic matters). DEN’s Design Principles, DSMs, and TDGs can be found at: https://www.flydenver.com/app/uploads/2023/09/denTenantDSM.pdf

DEN reserves the right to promptly reject any designs submitted and the right to require Concessionaire to resubmit designs and layout proposals until approved by DEN. If DEN disapproves any portion of the plans and specifications, Concessionaire must promptly submit necessary modifications and revisions thereof. No changes or alterations shall be made in said drawings or specifications after approval by DEN. Further, no alterations or improvements shall be made to or upon the Premises without prior DEN approval.

SECTION 2.02 DESIGN PERIOD

All Premises Improvements to be made to or upon the Premises by the Concessionaire are subject to the prior written approval of the SVP of Concessions. Concessionaire must coordinate design plans and specifications with DEN.

SECTION 2.03 DESIGN PROCEDURES

https://www.flydenver.com/app/uploads/2023/09/denTenantDSM.pdf

Manual 1 of the TDGs and this Handbook govern the procedures and requirements regarding design, including design process and schedule, submittal requirements, review and approval processes, design modifications, and project coordination.

SECTION 2.04 APPROVED PROJECTS

Prior to Concessionaire’s commencement of any construction activities on its Premises, Concessionaire must submit and have DEN approve a Design Review Committee Package (“DRC Package”) consisting of three (3) photo quality renderings that clearly depict the proposed design concept for the Premises, in context with the surrounding area. The DRC Package must contain:

• Renderings depicting the space approximately six feet (6’) beyond the demising walls and include merchandising on the shelves and people in each Premises.

• One (1) material sample board, floor plan, and reflected ceiling plan for each Premises, to provide a complete understanding of the space;

• An electronic copy of the fully complete plans and specifications for all Trade Fixtures and Premises Improvements for each Premises;

• Additional documents may be required as necessary to completely and accurately depict the proposed concept in context with the surrounding area;

• Prior to submission of DRC Package, Concessionaire should carefully review the Tenant Design Guidelines and DEN Concession Design Standards.

DEN reserves the right to promptly reject any submission that is not in material compliance with the foregoing; Once the DRC Package is approved, the Concessionaire may move forward with the construction documents for the Premises.

• All design and construction drawings submitted by Concessionaire to DEN must be provided in the latest release of REVIT format in accordance with DEN's DSM.

Drawings and specifications are also required to be submitted in PDF format.

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 10.01 PAYMENT OF PREVAILING WAGE RATES

Concessionaire must require all contractors and subcontractors to pay every worker, laborer, or mechanic employed by it in the performance of the construction of Premises Improvements prevailing wages, including fringe benefits or their cash equivalent, for the same class and kind of work in City, all as defined by and determined under the provisions of D.R.M.C. Section 20-76.

The wages must be those prevailing at the time of the contractor's final bid, and the Concessionaire must require the contractor to submit with its bid the applicable wage schedule. The contractor must post in a prominent and easily accessible place at the site of the Premises Improvements the scale of wages to be paid by the contractor and all subcontractors at any tier working under the contractor.

During each week of work progress, the contractor must furnish to the Division of Small Business Opportunity and to City’s Auditor a true and correct copy of the payroll records of all workers employed to perform the work. All payroll records must include:

• Information showing the number of hours worked by each worker, the hourly pay of such worker, any deductions made from pay, and the net amount of pay received by such worker for the period covered by the payroll.

• A sworn statement of the contractor that the copy is a true and correct copy of the payroll records of all workers performing the work whether for the contractors or subcontractors that payments were made to the workers as set forth in the payroll records, that no deductions were made other than those set forth in such records, and that all workers were paid the prevailing wages as of the contractor's final bid for the work.

Compliance with the above requirements is to be interpreted as "standard specifications" in D.R.M.C. Section 5-18(b). Violation of the prevailing wage requirement and its documentation, hereinabove set forth, will result in an order from the CEO for the work to cease until there is satisfactory evidence that the violation has been remedied and will not recur. The issuance of a stop-work order will not relieve contractor's surety of any liability on contractor's bond or bonds, but such a stop-work order will constitute a result of default by the contractor insofar as said surety's obligation is concerned.

SECTION 10.02 SBE, DBE, AND MBE/WBE PARTICIPATION
