BACKGROUND
On March 7, 2021 City Council authorized a concession contract with WDFG North America, LLC, for the construction, management, and operation of D Magazine (C2586), Texas Monthly News (L1009) and Creative Kidstuff (C2041A) by Resolution No. 12-0707. The Contract’s Primary Term commenced November 1, 2014 for all three units, with a Contract Primary Term expiration of October 31, 2021. In addition, based on the concession’s excellent operation throughout the Primary Term, but especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when airline traffic was significantly reduced, with drastic staffing reductions and sales lost, concessionaire continued operations to service passengers and airport employees in a very trying climate, the Department of Aviation seeks to exercise both one year renewal terms and add two extension years to the contract, allowing concessionaire to recover and re-establish a profitable position at Dallas Love Field.
