ITEM 3A
REQUEST: Authorization to extend the Amended and Restated Profit Split
Agreement with Levy Premium Foodservice Limited Partnership an
additional two (2) years to provide food and beverage service at the
NOW Arena.
FROM: Dan O'Malley, Deputy Village Manager
Ben Gibbs, General Manager - NOW Arena
ITEM TYPE: Agreement - Committee
REQUEST SUMMARY
Request authorization to extend the Amended and Restated Profit Split Agreement with
Levy Premium Foodservice Limited Partnership an additional two (2) years to provide
food and beverage service at the NOW Arena.
The Village contracts with Levy Premium Foodservice to provide food and beverage
service at the NOW arena. The current Levy agreement expires on April 30, 2026,
however provides that the Village may opt to twice extend the term of the agreement for
two (2) additional years. These extensions would provide an additional four (4) years
to the term, if enacted. The first, April 30, 2026 to April, 30, 2028 and April 30, 2028 to
April 30, 2030.
With the productive and mutually beneficial relationship that the Village and Levy have
enjoyed for the past several years with Levy as food manager for the arena, staff would
like to extend the term of this agreement the additional two (2) years as provided by
Section 19 (a) of the agreement. Levy has provided excellent service over the initial
term of the agreement and arena staff have been very satisfied with the Levy
partnership in operating the arena.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Authorizing this extension has no financial impact as the existing provisions of the
agreement remain unchanged, except for adding the additional two (2) years to the
term.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorization to extend the Amended and Restated Profit Split Agreement with Levy
Premium Foodservice Limited Partnership an additional two (2) years pursuant to Sec.
19 (a) of the agreement to provide food and beverage service at the NOW Arena.
