ATTACHMENT A
SCOPE OF DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF AIRPORT HOTEL
1. General Information
The City/NOAB is seeking proposals to design, finance, construct, manage, and operate a
nationally-branded, full service Three-Star hotel (hotel) located on a tract of land at Louis
Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (Airport) adjacent to the new North Terminal
facility currently under construction.
The selected proposer will lease the hotel development site (approximately 22,985 square feet of
space) from the NOAB for the term of the lease. Utilizing this space, the selected proposer will
design and build the hotel facilities and, upon completion, manage and operate the hotel.
The selected Proposer will have demonstrated the financial ability and experience to fulfill the
lease obligations and provide the services required as well as provide a financially acceptable
proposal for concession fees to the NOAB and a commitment to the Airports ACDBE program.
The selected Proposer must maintain standards of hotel construction, management, and
operations at least equal to those of comparable hotels at major U.S. airports and consistent with
the design criteria as set forth within this RFP.
2. Background
The Airport is located in Jefferson and St. Charles Parishes, Louisiana, approximately 14 miles
west of the City of New Orleans. It is owned by the City of New Orleans and the New Orleans
Aviation Board, an unattached board of the City, is charged with the maintenance and operation
of the Airport.

Per the FAAs Forecast Fact Sheet for Fiscal Years 2016-2036, U.S. domestic enplanements are
projected to increase 4.2% in 2016 and then grow an average of 1.9% per year during the
remaining 20-year forecast period. International enplanements are forecasted by the FAA to
increase 4.3% in 2016 and then grow an average of 3.6% per year for the rest of the forecast
period. For informational purposes only, a geotechnical report is included as an attachment.

The data is provided as a convenience to prospective proposers.
The information shown herein has been obtained from sources thought to be reliable, but the
City/NOAB, and their respective officers, employees, agents and contractors, are not liable for
any errors in this information or its use by prospective proposers. Proposers should satisfy
themselves by personal investigation, independent verification, due diligence, or such other
means as they may think necessary as to the conditions affecting this Request for Proposals. The
City/NOAB does not warrant the accuracy of the information presented in this RFP and
proposers assume all risks associated with relying on the Citys/NOABs representations made
herein this RFP.
3. Proposer Qualifications
Proposers must meet the following minimum requirements:
A. Proposer and team should have a minimum of five (5) years of hotel design and
development experience within the last ten (10) years. Proposer should highlight any
experience with on-site airport hotels.
B. Proposer should be able to complete construction and open the hotel for guests by the
time the North Terminal is complete and open for operations. The North Terminal is
currently scheduled to open on October 1, 2018, but may be subject to change.
4. Design Criteria
The City/NOAB is seeking in the successful Proposal a hotel design which will complement the
strong design ideal in similar curvature style as articulated in the new North Terminal renderings.
The hotel should express a confidence in the regions future and our cultural heritage in a
modern idiom.
The initial design concept for the North Terminal at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International
Airport was developed by iconic architect Cesar Pelli and has advanced into a 760,500 square
foot, thirty (30) gate, world-class airport with capacity to expand to 42 gates.
The design of the North Terminal embraces the rich natural and cultural history of New Orleans;
the mighty Mississippi, the sultry bayous, rich cuisine, live music, the joie de vivre of its
citizens. The concept of lightness and openness is a guiding design principal in the exterior
design. The building features vast expanses of curtain wall which contribute to an interior
bathed in natural light that connects directly to the exterior. The exterior fenestration is modern,
finely detailed and delicately scaled. The curvilinear exterior forms accentuate the sensuality of
the region.
Not only is the interior of the North Terminal filled with natural light, it contains high volume
spaces that are open and spacious. With very few interior walls, one can enjoy an unobstructed
view from the rear of the Ticket Lobby to the southernmost curtain wall overlooking the aircraft
on the ramp. The Terminal features a central three story atrium as well as an expansive two
story overlook to the concourses above security check-in. Over ninety percent of the concourse
exterior walls are glass.
The interior finishes of the Terminal, while modern, draw their inspiration from a long history of
the authentic, lush and rich textures and materials typical of New Orleans interiors. Against a
crisp modern background, the airport contains feature elements that are cleanly articulated and
opulent in character.
Also, unique to New Orleans, the airport atmosphere will be infused with local music and
culinary delights, sights and aromas. The three story atrium will feature a jazz bandstand and
garden. The airport will be filled with culinary offerings from some of our finest restaurants.
Proposers should consider that the hotel tract is a prominent location at the front entrance to the
North Terminal, and the proposed design and quality of construction materials should be
consistent with the prominence of the structures location and the design of the North Terminal.
Upon selection of proposer, NOAB reserves the right to adjust proposed design. The designated
tract of land (see Attachment G) is estimated to be approximately 22,985 square feet and the
total height of the building (including parapet, mechanical equipment, accessory structures,
elevator shafts, antennae, etc.) is not to exceed 145 feet above mean sea level (MSL) per the
NOABs FAA-approved Airport Layout Drawing. Exterior mechanical equipment must be
shielded from view. Cantilevering over the road or parking garage may be proposed as long as
the hotel does not impede any necessary clearances or increase the expenses and costs to the
NOAB for the construction of the North Terminal or its related projects.
The on-site, full service hotel must be nationally branded with a Three-Star rating or greater, as
defined by the Forbes (formerly Mobil) Travel Guide. Proposal must clearly identify the specific
brand and brand type of hotel being proposed. The total number of rooms and guest amenities
can be proposed as determined by respondent, but must include a minimum of 140 guest rooms.
5. Utilities and Coordination with CMAR and Program Manager
Utility connections are to be coordinated as indicated in the Utility Exhibits and further defined
in the Technical Overview (Attachment G). The successful Proposer will be responsible for (1)
extending service lines to the lease line for connections to NOAB provided sanitary sewer, water,
and storm drainage; (2) verifying size and horizontal location of proposed utility connections and
for connection to existing utilities; (3) coordinating services for ATT (Communications), Cox
(Data), Atmos Energy (Gas), Entergy (Electricity), Veolia Sanitation (Sewer), and Jefferson
Parish (Water); (4) coordinating points of service and installing underground raceways if
required; and (5) coordinating with NOAB and service providers to identify rights-of-way and/or
servitudes required to be granted by the NOAB.
Construction and access to site must be coordinated with the NOABs Construction Manager AtRisk (CMAR) through the Program Manager over the North Terminal Project as the hotel
construction will be simultaneous with the new North Terminal, parking garage, and all
infrastructure. The lessee will be responsible for fencing off the property and working within
their designated space. The lessee shall meet with Airport personnel and/or designees
periodically to discuss and review the progress of the design, finance, construction, management,
and operation of the hotel. The successful Proposer shall prepare reports and meet with Airport
personnel and/or designees as requested.
6. Payments To NOAB
Beginning as of the execution date of the lease agreement, the successful proposer shall pay
Ground Rent in an amount equal to the greater of: (i) Fair Market Value at time of execution of
the lease or (ii) the proposed amount per square foot included in Attachment E. Fair Market
Value is currently estimated at $4.50 per square feet of land area of the hotel premises per year,
which would estimate the annual Ground Rent at $103,432.50 (22,985 square feet x $4.50 per
year). The Ground Rent shall be adjusted according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
annually on the anniversary of the Execution Date; however, in no instance shall the Ground
Rent be reduced to an amount lower than the previous years established Ground Rent.
In addition to Ground Rent, beginning on the Rental Commencement Date (as further defined in
Section 1 of Attachment F) and continuing through the term of the lease, the successful
proposer shall pay a concession fee to the NOAB equal to the greater of: (i) the percentage of
gross receipts or (ii) the Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG). The MAG shall be set at
$450,000.
On the anniversary of the Rental Commencement Date, the MAG shall be adjusted to the greater
of (1) Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and 00/100ths ($450,000.00); or (2) 80% of the
annual payments made to the Board in the prior 12 month period.
The Airport shall not be obligated to subordinate its lease to any financing by the Proposer.
Payment information should be included on Attachment E.
7. Leasing Process and Term
Upon selection of the successful proposer, the proposer will be required to enter into a lease
agreement in substantial conformity to the lease included as Attachment F. Said lease will also
contain terms relating to reporting, auditing, bonding, insurance, ACDBE participation,
compliance with laws and regulations and policies, termination and other provisions. In the
event that a lease is not executed by proposer, City/NOAB may, at its option, cancel the
solicitation or enter into a lease agreement with the next highest scored proposer, with no
liability to the initially-selected proposer or to any other proposer. Said lease is subject to New
Orleans City Council approval.
Subject to provisions for termination, the initial term of the lease will be for a period of thirty
(30) years with two ten (10) year optional renewals at Lessees option, for a total of fifty (50)
years as further defined in Section 2 of Attachment F. Upon the termination of the lease,
whether by expiration of the term or by termination of default, or otherwise, ownership of all
improvements shall revert to the NOAB free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, without
compensation paid to the lessee or any other person or entity.
The Hotel Concession is not an exclusive lease agreement and it in no way provides the Lessor
with any exclusive rights or privileges at Airport, other than the exclusive use of the Lease
Premises as further outlined in Attachment F. The NOAB may lease or otherwise grant
permission to third parties to provide the same and/or competing concessions in the future.
8. Property Taxes
Interested proposers should familiarize themselves with Louisiana law, including but not limited
to Article VII, Section 21 of the Louisiana Constitution, and La. R.S. 2:351(H), relating to
property taxes which may be applicable to the leased premises. It is the sole responsibility of the
interested proposers to make an independent determination of whether the property to be leased
is subject to property taxes. The NOAB and the City assume no responsibility for advising
proposers with respect to whether the leased premises are or are not exempt from the payment of
property taxes under Louisiana law, including but not limited to Article VII, Section 21 of the
Louisiana Constitution and La. R.S. 2:351(H). In no event shall the City or the NOAB be liable
for the payment, collection or remittance of property taxes on the leased premises. Should
interested proposers determine that the leased premises are exempt from the payment of property
taxes, interested proposers should nevertheless, in an abundance of caution, be prepared to make
a "Payment in Lieu of Taxes" to the applicable governmental entities as part of the governmental
approval process for the hotel development.
9. Restrictions Relating to Airport Concessions
The NOAB has concession agreements for food and beverage operations, news and gift sales,
and advertising at the Airport. Receipts from these concessions comprise a significant portion of
the Airport's non-airline revenues.
Proposers must include within their submittal a written food and beverage, news and gifts, and
advertising plan which clearly identifies proposed concessions. Any changes to the concessions
plan between proposal submittal and award of contract will require equivalent rated concessions
to be implemented. The concessions plan should ensure convenience to the guests of the hotel
and the ability of the hotel to meet the requirements of a full service, Three-Star chain affiliation,
but which recognizes the need of the Airport to preserve its terminal concessions revenues.
Catering and delivery services to and within the terminal are strictly prohibited.
Lessee shall be required, and shall require all sublessees, to install a cash control system or point
of sale equipment which shall record all sales or service transactions by category with all data
necessary to provide the Lessor with information required in the lease agreement. All cash
registers must be equipped with tapes, or similar records, upon which transaction details are
imprinted. Beginning and ending sales totalizer counter readings shall be recorded at least once
every 24 hours or as frequently as the system will allow. Additionally, the sales or cash receipt
system must be capable of proving, in a satisfactory manner to the Lessor, that all transactions
are recorded.
Concessions area may not exceed 7.5% of the total square footage of the hotel. There is no
prohibition against the hotel lessee entering into a separate agreement with one of the Airports
news and gift, food and beverage, and/or advertising concessionaires as is utilized in the
terminal. The lessee will be prohibited from providing rental car sales or any other
transportation services or transportation operation in competition with Airport ground
transportation providers.
10. Restrictions on Parking
The Airport currently provides multiple parking options for the traveling public and persons who
work at the Airport, including a short-term garage, a long-term garage and various surface lots.
Receipts from parking operations comprise a significant portion of the Airport's non-airline
revenues, and are further subject to certain restrictions and covenants contained in bond
indentures from bond issuances made for the purpose of developing the Airport's parking
opportunities.
The lease agreement requires that overnight guests of the hotel and attendees at hotel special
events pay standard daily parking rates in the Airports parking concessions. The Airport
maintains a specific lot for employee parking and shuttles employees from the employee lot to
the terminal at a reduced rate. Hotel guest parking may be supplemented by a valet parking
option utilizing the Southside long term garage.
Lessee will be responsible for securing adequate parking for the Hotel Concession consistent with
local rules and regulations. No parking spaces are included in the Lease. The NOAB is willing to
designate the minimum number of parking spaces required by local law for use by Hotel guests.
Any designated parking for hotel guests will not be exclusive and guests will be required to pay the
Airports standard daily parking rates directly to the NOAB or the NOABs concessionaire
responsible for the parking operations that includes Hotel-Concession designated parking. Rates
that are charged by Lessee for valet may not be less than the highest standard airport daily parking
rates issued by the NOAB.
Lessee is prohibited from competing with the Airports parking operations. Competition with the
Lessees parking operations includes but is not limited to: 1) making parking available to customers
at the same rate or below the rate charged by the Lessor or the Lessors tenants for the same or
comparable parking; 2) offering weekly, monthly, or annual parking rates; 3) providing parking for
customers who are not customers of the Hotel; and 4) providing parking for customers of the Hotel
in combination with other goods or services. See Section 13 of Attachment F. Failure to comply
with the parking restrictions described herein shall be considered a material default of the lease
agreement.
The Airports standard daily parking rates may range from $20.00 to $30.00 per space per day.
Rates that are charged by the hotel for valet parking may not be less than the highest Airport
parking rates set or approved by the NOAB.
11. Governmental Approvals and Permits

The selected Proposer must provide evidence acceptable to the NOAB that it has secured all
required governmental approvals and permits necessary for the construction of the hotel within
twelve (12) months of the date of the award by the NOAB or as early as necessary to meet the
Proposers schedule. The successful Proposer will be required to comply with all applicable
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements, including, but not limited to, completion
of FAA Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. Responsibility for
securing all required governmental approvals and permits shall rest solely with the selected
lessee, and shall be at the sole expense of the selected lessee. Neither the NOAB nor the City
shall have any liability or responsibility for obtaining any required governmental approvals and
permits, or for bearing any portion of the expense incurred in obtaining such approvals and
permits. The NOAB and the City shall not be liable for any expense or claim of the lessee
should the selected lessee fail to timely obtain, or be unsuccessful in obtaining, any required
governmental approvals and permits necessary for the construction and/or operation of the hotel,
and by submitting a response to this RFP, the proposer thereby expressly waives any such claims
against the NOAB and the City. Should the selected lessee be unable to obtain all required
governmental approvals and permits necessary for the construction of the hotel within twelve
(12) months of the date of award, the NOAB shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate
the lease for the hotel tract, with no liability by the City and NOAB to the lessee. In the event
that the NOAB terminates the lease due to the failure of the selected lessee to secure all required
governmental approvals and permits within twelve (12) months from the date of award, the
$100,000 proposal bond submitted by the lessee to the NOAB and City in connection with its
proposal will be forfeited, in addition to the performance bond covering the annual ground rent
for the first year of the lease.
12. Technical Information
Refer to Attachment G for all technical information.
13. Targeted and Disadvantaged Targeted Worker Program First Source Recruitment of
Work Force
The selected Proposer and its subcontractors agrees to demonstrate good faith efforts to fully carry
out the requirements of the Targeted and Disadvantaged Targeted Worker Program (Program) as
defined herein. If the Proposer fails to comply with the requirements of the Program during the
term of the Agreement, said failure may result in termination of the Agreement or pursuit of other
remedies.
The Proposer, its subcontractors and subtenants shall make ensure that the hiring goals and
apprentice participation goals outlined below are met. These goals will be evaluated annually
and may be modified to reflect the availability of Targeted and Disadvantaged Targeted
Workers.
Construction:
A. 30% of all project craft hours performed by Louisiana workers shall be performed by
Targeted Workers.
B. 10% of project craft hours performed by Targeted Workers shall be performed by
Disadvantaged Targeted Workers.
C. Where applicable utilize Apprenticeship Programs to employ the maximum number of
apprentices allowed by law to ensure that at least 10% of all work hours performed by
Louisiana apprentices are performed by Disadvantaged Targeted Workers.
Operations:
D. 50% of permanent employees to be Targeted Workers.
E. 30% of permanent employees to be Disadvantaged Targeted Workers
The selected Proposer and subtenants shall utilize Citys government office, The Office of
Workforce Development (OWD), as its first source for recruitment, referral, and placement of all
new hires for employment opportunities at the Airport hotel. The Proposer and subtenants shall
notify OWD of its specific need for new employees at least five (5) business days before advertising
the employment opportunity to the general public. Specific needs shall include, at a minimum, the
number of employees needed by job title, qualifications, hiring date, rate of pay, hours of work,
duration of employment, and a brief description of the work to be performed. OWD will screen
applicants and provide the Proposer and subtenants with a list of qualified candidates according to
the specific needs set forth by the Proposer or subtenants. The Proposer or subtenants shall assess
qualified candidates and notify OWD of those referred first source candidates solicited who are
deemed unqualified and the reason(s) why they failed to qualify for employment. This First Source
program does not limit the Proposer or its subtenants' ability to assess qualifications of prospective
candidates for employment. Nor does this provision make final hiring and retention decisions.
Rather, all hiring decisions are left to the Proposer or its subtenants and this first source program is
simply a tool to be used as the first source for recruitment, referral and placement of new hires. By
submitting a Proposal, a Proposer acknowledges that it shall use OWD as its first source for
recruitment, referral, and placement of all new hires for employment opportunities created by the
Hotel Concession. The Proposer will include the requirements of this provision in all joint-venture
agreements, leases, subleases, and subcontracts regarding the Hotel Concession.

will the Lessor be liable to Lessee should the Kenner City Council fail to issue a conditional
use ordinance permitting the construction of the Hotel Concession, or fail to grant any required
zoning variances, uses or permits, or for any delays in obtaining any such public approvals or
permits. Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain said conditional use

10.
Property Taxes
Lessee shall be solely responsible for any property taxes relating to the Premises, including but
not limited to Article VII, Section 21 of the Louisiana Constitution, and La. R.S. 2:351(H). It is
the sole responsibility of Lessee to make an independent determination of whether the property

Lessor with respect to whether the Premises are or are not exempt from the payment of property
taxes under Louisiana law, including but not limited to Article VII, Section 21 of the Louisiana

an abundance of caution, be prepared to make a "Payment in Lieu of Taxes" to the applicable
governmental entities as part of the governmental approval process for this Hotel Concession.

a) The Lessee can satisfy the ACDBE goals by selecting and documenting certified,
qualified ACDBE business(es) at the targeted level of ACDBE participation.

to fulfill its ACDBE participation requirements; provided, however, that said participation may
be modified from time to time throughout the Lease in accordance with the ACDBE Plans, and
as approved by the Board. Lessee further acknowledges that to be counted toward Lessees
obligation to ACDBE participation under this Lease, an ACDBE participant must be and remain

unwillingness to perform and to provide reasonable documentation. The Lessee is required to
request, in writing, permission to substitute the ACDBE and to provide copies of new or
amended subcontracts or documentation of good faith efforts. If the Lessee fails or refuses to
comply with ACDBE Program policy for replacing or substituting the ACDBE, Lessee shall be

ACDBE participant, if the remaining Term of the agreement makes it feasible. In the event that
such action is not feasible, Lessor shall make good faith efforts during the remaining Term to
encourage ACDBEs to compete for the purchases and/or leases of goods and services to be made
by Lessee.

11.8
Failure to Meet Goals.
In the event that Lessee fails to meet the contractually obligated levels of ACDBE participation
and fails to undertake Good Faith Efforts sufficient to support the granting of a waiver from the
contractually obligated levels of ACDBE participation, the following penalties shall be imposed
upon Lessee:

total amount of the Gross Revenues that ACDBE direct participants would have

------------AV
K

20.81% ACDBE participation goal and the amount of Gross Revenues actually
generated by ACDBE direct participants during said Lease Year.
b. With respect to ACDBE procurement, 22.17% of the difference the total procurement
fees the ACDBE firms would have received had there been compliance with the
22.17% ACDBE procurement goal and the amount of the total ownership fees that
were actually received by ACDBE firms.
11.9
Commercially Useful Function
ACDBE participation is only counted when the ACDBE contractor or vendor performs a
commercially useful function.
An ACDBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the
work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing,
and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the ACDBE
must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for
negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where
applicable) and paying for the material itself.
An ACDBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an
extra participant in a transaction or, contract through which funds are passed in order to obtain
the appearance of ACDBE participation. For purposes of this part, the term commercially useful
function has the same meaning as in part 26, 26.55(c), except that the requirements of
26.55(c)(3) do not apply to concessions.
11.10 ACDBE Fraud
Lessee acknowledges that ACDBE Fraud occurs when the Lessee or any Sublessee, contractor,
subcontractor or sub-recipient to this Lease misrepresents who performed the work in order to
increase job profit while appearing to be in compliance with goals for ACDBE participation.
The NOAB shall inform the USDOT Office of the Inspector General of any false, fraudulent, or
dishonest conduct in connection with the ACDBE program so that DOT can take the necessary
legal action defined in 49 CFR Section 26.109. These actions include referral to the Department
of Justice for criminal prosecution, referral to the DOT Inspector General, suspension or
debarment from the program or civil penalties as deemed applicable.
11.11 Continued Non-Compliance
Continued Non-Compliance with the ACDBE participation provisions as stated in this Article 11
shall constitute a material breach hereof, and in the event of such non-compliance, Lessor shall
have the right to terminate this Lease or, at its option, assess liquidated damages in the form of
------------AV
K
30
fees to be paid to the Board within thirty (30) days of such assessment. For purposes of this
Section 24.29, Continued Non-Compliance shall mean two or more written determinations of
non-compliance issued by the DBE Liaison Officer and the opportunity for an Administrative
Hearing.
11.12 ACDBE Participation Review

option referenced in Section 2.2(B) to consider whether an increase or decrease in ACDBE

assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant or a release of the Lessee from further observance or
performance by the Lessee of the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease. No
