BACKGROUND
Air Star-Bush-LTS Marquis DAL, LLC, pursuant to Resolution No. 18-1706 was awarded a food and beverage concession contract for the construction, management, and operation of Maggiano’s Little Italy (space #C2031A). 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 (1) exercise both one-year renewal terms; and (2) add two extension years to the contract, allowing concessionaire to recover and re-establish a profitable position at Dallas Love Field.
