REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Financial Status Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2024 and Related Budget Amendments
BOARD PILLARS
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s® Stadium Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
In Fiscal Year 2014/15 the Stadium Authority Board (Board) requested that staff prepare quarterly Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority) Financial Status Reports. These reports provide an update on the events held at Levi’s
® Stadium, Stadium Authority finances, and the impact of Stadium Authority activity on the City of Santa Clara (City).
This report provides information covering the Stadium Authority’s first quarter of the 2024/25 fiscal year (FY), which runs from April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024.
The Adopted Stadium Authority Budget incorporates the estimated revenues and expenses for all Stadium Authority funds. As a part of the Stadium Authority policy to ensure adherence to the budget, a budget/encumbrance control system is used to ensure proper budgetary control. Budgetary appropriation control for expenditures are maintained at the fund level. The attached Financial Status Report provides the budget to actual revenue and expense summaries for the operating, debt service, and capital funds. Analysis of the financial activity through the fiscal year measures the adherence to the budget and allows the Stadium Authority to monitor and project revenues and expenses. Any significant variances are explained in the report.
DISCUSSION
The attached financial status report provides information covering the Stadium Authority’s first quarter (April 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024) of FY 2024/25. The report summarizes National Football League (NFL) and Non-NFL event activity at Levi’s
® Stadium and describes the financial impact of these
events on the Stadium Authority and City since FY 2014/15. The report also provides the budget to actual revenue and expense summaries for the operating, debt service, and capital funds. Analysis of the financial activity through the fiscal year measures the adherence to the budget and allows the Stadium Authority to monitor and project revenues and expenses. Any significant variances are explained in the report.
NFL Event Revenue and Expenses
There were no NFL games held in the first quarter of the FY 2024/25. Levi’s® Stadium hosted the first 49ers pre-season game of the 2024 season on August 18, 2024, which will be included in the report City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/18/2024Page 1 of 5

24-760 Agenda Date: 10/22/2024
for the second quarter.
Non-NFL Event Revenue and Expenses
There were four ticketed Non-NFL events and 20 special events which are detailed in the report. The four ticketed Non-NFL events generated an average net profit of $664,000 per event. Table 1 below summarizes revenues and expenditures for the four ticketed events.

Ticketed Non-NFL Events Revenue and Expenditure Summary As of June 30, 2024
The Non-NFL event ticket sales generated $635,000 in ticket surcharge revenue, half of which will fund the discretionary fund. Public safety costs for these events totaled an estimated $1.5 million which will be fully reimbursed to the City by ManCo on behalf of the Stadium Authority.
When combining ticketed and non-ticketed Non-NFL revenues to date, Table 2 below shows approximately $3.5 million in net revenue (excluding surcharge revenue) through the end of the first quarter. This is an increase of $2.1 million from the prior year Non-NFL event net revenue of $1.4 million. The main driver of the increase is related to the increase in the number of ticketed events when compared to the prior year. It should be noted the financial information provided are a draft and subject to change as additional revenues and/or expenditures are recorded.

Through the first quarter, since inception, the value of the active SBLs amount to $557.3 million of which $530.4 million has already been collected.
Stadium Authority Budgets
The detailed analysis of Stadium Authority budget to actual financials is provided in the attached Financial Status Reports. In summary, total operating revenues were $8.4 million representing 13% of the overall budget for revenues and total operating expenses were $6.7 million or 15% of the budget. The debt service fund was able to pay down $7.8 million in debt, bringing total Stadium Authority debt down to $220.9 million. Capital expenses were $1.4 million representing 6% of the overall Capital Expense (CapEx) budget.
FY 2024/25 Stadium Authority Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget. On March 12, 2024, the Stadium Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority FY 2024/25 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget. As of the timing of the publication of this report, additional information from FY 2024/25 has resulted in recommended budget adjustments as follows:
Operating Budget:
1) Performance Rent - The Performance-Based rent owed to the City is described in the Ground Lease and Second Amendment to Ground Lease. As outlined in the agreements, the City can receive Performance-Based rent for each Lease Year equal to 50% of net revenue from Non- NFL events less the sum of the Performance-Based Rent Credits. Performance-Based Rent was budgeted at $9.6 million related to: (1) FY 2022/23 of $4.2 million, (2) FY 2023/24 of $2.9 million (projection) and (3) FY 2024/25 of $2.5 million (budget).

powered by Legistar™
24-760 Agenda Date: 10/22/2024
net revenue was higher than projected resulting an increase to performance rent owed to the City of $225,000. Therefore, a budget amendment of $225,000 is needed to reflect this increase.
2) Stadium Authority General and Administrative (G&A) - The Stadium Authority G&A expense budget of $4.2 million included $395,000 for legal expenses. Due to unanticipated legal costs, the City Attorney’s Office requests an appropriation of $100,000 bringing the total budgeted for legal expenses to $495,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
As discussed, staff recommends the budget amendment detailed in the table below:

This Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority) Financial Status Report provides information covering the first quarter of the Stadium Authority’s 2024/25 fiscal year (FY) which ended on June 30, 2024. Comparative data from prior fiscal years is also included.
In addition to these quarterly reports, the Stadium Authority produces annual financial statements. The FY 2023/24 financial statements were audited by an external audit firm and presented to the Stadium Authority’s Audit Committee (Audit Committee) on September 3, 2024 and September 17, 2024 and approved by the Stadium Authority Board (Board) on September 24, 2024. The financial statements are published on the Stadium Authority’s website.
The Stadium Authority also prepares a detailed budget prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. The FY 2024/25 budget was adopted by the Board on March 12, 2024.
Stadium Authority finances are structured so that the City of Santa Clara (City) is not liable for the debts or obligations of the Stadium Authority. All services provided by the City, including administrative and public safety, to the Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC ( ManCo) or the Stadium Authority are fully reimbursed with Stadium Authority funds.
Methodology
Information provided in this report was based in part on documentation submitted by ManCo. Specifically, National Football League ( NFL) and Non-NFL event statistics and financial information relating to ManCo expenses are provided by ManCo. Stadium Authority staff has access to selected financial information submitted by ManCo provided through the Stadium Authority’s Financial Management System and event reports received for Non -NFL events. These reports are received 45 days after each event for events with attendance greater than 25,000. More detailed documents are received within 90 days after the close of the quarter. For all other financial information, a full deta iled review and/or audit of source documentation has not been completed by the Stadium Authority for this report.
The information provided reflects the best known and available at the time of the writing of this report and is subject to further revision and review. Revisions may occur based on the timing of revenue and expenditure activity for events in this quarter that continue beyond the timing of this report. Consequently, the Board’s notation and filing of this report should not be considered an approval of the accuracy of the information in the report. 3 NFL Events
This section provides fiscal year to date and comparative data for NFL games categorized as pre-season and regular season games. There were no NFL games held during the first quarter of FY 202 4/25. Levi’s® Stadium hosted the first 49ers pre -season game of the 2024 season on August 18, 2024, which will be included in the report for the second quarter.
Non-NFL Events
This section provides year to date and comparative data for Non-NFL events categorized as events ranging from high school and college football games, international soccer matches, concerts, wedding fairs, and special events. During the current reporting period, there were a total of 158,662 tickets sold for the four ticketed Non-NFL events that were held, resulting in $635,000 Non-NFL event ticket surcharge revenue (from the $4 per ticket Non-NFL event surcharge). This is an increase in ticket surcharge revenue of $ 471,000 or 287% over the same period in the prior year. Compared to the one sporting event that took place in the same period in the prior year there were four ticketed Non-NFL events in the current reporting period, resulting in the increase in ticket surcharge revenue.
ManCo reports that there were also 20 smaller special events held at Levi’s ® Stadium which is two events less than in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The attendance at these events also decreased from 12,632 in the prior period to 12,341 in the current year, a 3% decrease. Examples of these special events include corporate events of various sizes, weddings, holiday parties, high school dances, etc.
In correlation with the Non-NFL events held during the current reporting period, there were 15,048 cars parked at offsite lot s and the City earned a total of $ 97,000 in related offsite parking fees, which is derived from the $6.44 per parking space fee that supports public safety costs associated with the permitted offsite parking lots. The offsite parking fee invoices can take up to a few months to be fully paid. The City has received $63,000 of the offsite parking fees as of the date of this report.
Total Non-NFL event public safety costs were $1.5 million an increase of $1.1 million from the prior year. The increase in cost is due to more events being held in the current year when compared to the prior year. Of these costs, $97,000 was covered by the offsite parking fee. The remaining $1.4 million was invoiced to the ManCo of which $1.1 million has been reimbursed to the City. Reimbursements usually take between 3 to 6 months from the event date due to the timing of third-party invoices and payment from ManCo.
Statistics for FY 2024/25 events are shown in Table 1 and comparative data from the last five years of operations are shown in Table 2. Additional historical data can be found in the Appendix.

(2) Expenses incurred for Non-NFL events can either be the responsibility of the SCSA or the Event Licensee depending on the nature of the expense. This figure represents the total expenses incurred by the SCSA that were the responsibilty of the Event Licensee for which the SCSA has been reimbursed, net of the Event Licensee's share of ancillary revenues. (1) Includes venue rental fees, net merchandise sales, interest income, and other revenues. 9 Discretionary Fund
The Discretionary Fund is funded by revenue equal to 50% of the Non -NFL event ticket surcharge of $4 per ticket. The four ticketed Non-NFL event is projected to contribute approximately $317,000 to the Discretionary Fund in the report ing period. This is based on the estimated attendance provided by ManCo. Table 6 shows the revenues and expenses in the Discretionary Fund for the last five years. Additional historical data can be found in the Appendix. The balance at the end of this reporting period was $2.8 million.
Table 6
Stadium Builder Licenses
The total principal value of currently active Stadium Builder Licenses (“SBLs”) is $557 million and, as of June 30, 2024, 95% of the total principal value of all SBLs sold (i.e., $530.4 million) had been collected. Payment for the sale of SBLs are financed over 10 years.
SBL holders that finance their purchase pay an annual interest rate of 8.5% and payments are due by March 1 st each year. The majority of SBL holders make their payments on time. For those that do not pay on time, SBL service staff, working for ManCo on the Stadium Authority’s behalf, contact the SBL holders and attempt to collect the full amounts owed. Ultimately, a SBL can be defaulted for non-payment. Once a SBL is defaulted, the SBL holder in default loses their right to buy season tickets as well as their priority rights to tickets to Non -NFL events, and forfeits any money they had invested in the SBL.
Defaulted SBLs are then available for resale.
There is a total of 65,967 currently active SBLs, or 99.7% of the 66,156 total sellable SBL seats. This is an increase of 974 from the total active SBLs at the end of the prior fiscal year (March 31, 2024). The main reasons for the increase are due to sale of new SBLs and customer seat relocation program offset by default buy back . The customer seat relocation program allows customers to trade in their SBLs in return for others in a different location as long as the total face value of the new seats is equal to or greater than the original seats.

12 Santa Clara Stadium Authority Budget Status Reports
Operating Budget
With 25% of the fiscal year complete, total operating revenues for the first quarter of the 2024/25 Fiscal Year were $8.4 million representing 13% of the overall budget for revenues. The primary reasons that revenue is below 25% (par level through three months) is because non -NFL event revenue is recorded at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with Article 5 of the Stadium Manag ement Agreement, and the NFL ticket surcharge revenue is recorded in second quarter when the NFL season starts. In addition, the first SBL proceeds in the amount of $ 4 million was received in the second quarter instead of in June 202 4 this year. Durin g the current reporting period, the Stadium Authority recognized $6.2 million in rent from StadCo , $ 635,000 in Non-NFL ticket surcharge, and $238,000 in sponsorship (STR) revenue.
Total Operating expenses were $6.7 million, or 15% of the annual budget. Shared Stadium Manager expenses were at 25% of the budget, or $3.3 million of the $13.6 million budgeted amount and SBL Sales and Service expenses were 18% of the budget or $612,000. The Stadium Authority pays for all utility costs from February 1 st through July 31st and the tenant (StadCo) pays for utility costs from August 1 st through January 31 st (Tenant Season). Therefore, utility costs are 50% of the budget for the year, or $744,000.
The current period covers 50% (three out of the six months) that the Stadium Authority is responsible for utility costs. Lastly, Stadium Authority G&A costs were tracking below budgeted levels at $781,000 or 19% of the budget.

14 Operating Budget – Recommended Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget.
On March 12, 2024, the Stadium Authori ty Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority FY 2024/25 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget. The following budget adjustments are recommended:
1) Performance Rent – The Performance-Based rent owed to the City is described in the Ground Lease and the Amended and Restated Stadium Lease . As outlined in the agreements, the City can receive Performance-Based rent for each Lease Year equal to 50% of net revenue from Non-NFL events less the sum of the Performance- Based Rent Credits. Performance-Based Rent was budgeted at $9.6 million related to: (1) FY 2022/23 of $4.2 million, (2) FY 2023/24 of $2.9 million (projection) and (3) FY 2024/25 of $2.5 million (budget). FY 2023/24 Non-NFL event net revenue was higher than projected resulting in an increase to Performance-Based rent owed to the City of $225,000 . T herefore, a budget amendment of $225,000 is needed to reflect this increase.
2) Stadium Authority G&A – The Stadium Authority G&A expense budget of $4.2 million included $395,000 for legal expenses. Due to unanticipated legal costs, the City Attorney’s Office requests an appropriation of $100,000 bringing the total budgeted for legal expenses to $495,000.

16 Debt Service Budget
The Stadium Authority’s FY 2024/25 debt service revenue budget of $2.8 million represents anticipated contributions from the Community Facilities District (CFD). The CFD levies and collects a special hotel tax on hotel rooms within the CFD. All collections from the special CFD hotel taxes are contributed to Stadium Authority to pay down the CFD Advance. The CFD Advance is payable solely f rom amounts received by the Stadium Authority from the CFD. During the first quarter, $ 843,000 was contributed by the CFD, or 30% of the annual budget. Of this amount, $476,000 was collected and used to pay down the CFD Advance.
Total Stadium Authority debt service expenses for the current reporting period were $10.6 million, or 54% of the budgeted amount. The debt service expenses for the CFD Advance, and the Term A Loan were $886,000, and $9.7 million respectively.
As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding amount of Stadium Authority debt had declined to $220.9 million. This is a reduction in principal of $7.8 million from the March 31, 2024 outstanding debt amount of $228.7 million.

During the current reporting period there was a total of $1.1 million that was contributed to the General Fund as shown in Table 13. Senior and Youth Fee and the Tasman Lot Parking Fee are both related to NFL games of which there were none in the first quarter.
This section of the report also provides information on General Fund revenue and expenditure impacts resulting from the stadium.
Table 13
Public Safety and Administrative Cost Reimbursement
As described in earlier sections of this report, costs incurred by the City on NFL and Non- NFL events are tracked and billed to ManCo. Reimbursement is monitored and included in this report. A total of $1.5 million in public safety costs were incurred in support of Non- NFL events that were held at Levi’s ® Stadium in the current reporting period. These reimbursements come from a combination of payments from ManCo and the offsite parking fees that were collected. The City has received $1.1 million in reimbursements from ManCo as of the date of this report.
Public safety costs for NFL events continue to be above the annual public safety cap .
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Lease, the Stadium Author ity was in discussion with StadCo to adjust the annual public safety cap to reflect the true cost of service, which is higher than the cap. On May 23, 2024, the Stadium Authority entered into a settlement agreement with StadCo and ManCo over disputes regar ding public safety and buffet costs. As a result of the settlement, the public safety cap will be adjusted to increase the per game and annual threshold beginning in FY 2024/25 . Under the settlement agreement, credits that were issued from public safety costs paid in excess of the annual public safety costs threshold were redefined as Public Safety Costs 2024 Outstanding Balance and will be partially reimbursed to StadCo with litigation contingency funds and partially over time through excess revenues.
In addition to public safety costs, administrative costs are also tracked and billed to the Stadium Authority. These include the cost of providing overall stadium management, financial, human resource, legal, and other services to the Stadium Authority. In th e first quarter of FY 202 4/25, a total of $ 598,000 of administrative costs were incurred by the General Fund, which have been reimbursed to the City.

25 Rents and Senior and Youth Fee
As noted above, the City’s General Fund did not collect any rents or Senior and Youth fees in the current reporting period. See the Glossary for more information on these revenues and how they are calculated.
Other Revenue Impacts
General Fund sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT) collections have benefited from the direct and indirect economic activity related to stadium events.
Food and beverage concession sales and merchandise sales at Levi’s ® Stadium are taxable, resulting in sales tax revenue for the City. The last quarter of sales tax collections from Levi’s ® Stadium transactions generated $ 92,000 for the City’s General Fund. In addition to the direct sellers at the Stadium, other businesses in Santa Clara are benefiting from the influx of people coming to attend one or more events at Levi’s® Stadium, resulting in potentially more sales tax collections for the General Fund.
In accordance with State Law, StadCo must pay possessory interest property tax based on their lease of Levi’s® Stadium from the Stadium Authority. This revenue is collected by the county and placed into the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF).
Amounts remaining in the RPTTF after paying any enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency are distributed to taxing entities in the same proportion as secured property taxes. The City’s proportion is approximately 10%.
Many stadium events bring travelers to the region, resulting in hotel stays which generate TOT collections for the City’s General Fund. Although it is impossible to say exactly what portion of the City’s TOT collections is due to the stadium, it is clear that hotels both inside and outside the City have benefited, resulting in increases in TOT collections in Santa Clara and our neighboring cities.
26 Glossary
This section of the report provides details behind key terms that are used in the body of this report.
Discretionary Fund – The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement describes the Non -NFL event ticket surcharge which is imposed by the Stadium Authority. All promotors or sponsors of ticketed Non -NFL events are required to collect a Non -NFL event ticket surcharge of $4 per ticket on behalf of the Stadium Authority. One -half of these proceeds are used to cover Stadium Authority operating and maintenance costs.
The other one-half of the proceeds are deposited in the Stadium Authority’s discretionary fund. If at any time the discretionary fund balance exceeds $1 million, then in consultation with ManCo, the Stadium Authority will determine if provision has been made for replacement and improvement of capital improvements contemplated under the public safety plan. If not, then funds will be reserved in the discretionary fund for such purposes.
If adequate provision has been made for these items and the balance of the discretionary fund still exceeds $1 million, then up to half of the amount over $1 million can be transferred to the General Fund, in which event an equal amount will also be transferred from the discretionary fund to the Stadium Authority operating fund and wi ll be included as revenue available to pay Stadium Authority expenses.
Ground Lease – The Ground Lease Agreement has an initial term of 40 years commencing on the date of substantial completion which was July 31, 2014. The amount of annual base ground rent that is payable by the Stadium Authority to the City is noted in the chart 2.
27 Chart 2
Net Non-NFL Event Revenue – Net Non-NFL event revenue is remitted by ManCo to the Stadium Authority on a yearly basis. This is done annually because the final reconciliation of the Non-NFL event revenues and expenses does not occur until after the conclusion of each fiscal year.

28 NFL Ticket Surcharge – The Amended and Restated Non-Relocation Agreement states that the Team will collect a 10% NFL ticket surcharge on the price of admission to all NFL games on behalf of Stadium Authority.
Non-NFL Event Ticket Surcharge – The Stadium Lease Agreement requires that the promoter or sponsor of any Non-NFL event collect a Non-NFL event ticket surcharge of $4 per ticket. The Lease Agreement sets aside one -half of the Non -NFL event ticket surcharge for stadium operating and maintenance costs and one -half for discretionary expenses of the Stadium Authority.
Offsite Parking Fees – Parking lot operators who wish to operate a parking lot for sports or entertainment venues are required to go through the City’s permitting process. If approved, per the City’s Municipal Fee Schedule, these operators remit an offsite parking fee for each car that is parked for sports or entertainment events. This fee is designed to recover the public safety costs associated with these permitted offsite parking lots.
Therefore, when invoicing for NFL or Non -NFL public safety costs for a particular event held at Levi’s® Stadium, the offsite parking fee that is collected for said event partly offsets the total public safety costs owed for that event. In the City’s FY 202 3/24 (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024) the offsite parking fee is $6.44.
Performance-Based Rent – The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement and the Ground Lease Agreement both describe the performance -based rent that is due to the City. (It is calculated as 50% of the net income from Non-NFL events less performance-based rent credits. The performance-based rent credits include 50% of the fixed ground rent for the current lease year.)
Public Safety Costs – For each NFL and Non -NFL event held at Levi’s ® Stadium, a public safety plan is developed and implemented. Multiple City departments provide staffing, materials, and supplies to support the public safety plan. Services are provided through a combination of City staff, contracts with other agencies (California Highway Patrol, County Sheriff’s Office, and City of Sunnyvale) and some vendor provided services.
The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement section 7.5 states that the tenant is responsible for reimbursing the City for the public safety costs attributed to NFL events at Levi’s® Stadium. Additionally, Article 5 of the Stadium Management Agreement notes that ManCo is responsible for paying Non-NFL event expenses on behalf of the Stadium Authority. Therefore, the cost of providing public safety services are tracked through the City’s financial system and invoices are sent to ManCo. All of these costs are reimbursed to the City of Santa Clara.
Senior and Youth Program Fees – The First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement requires that StadCo collect a Senior and Youth Program Fee of $0. 40 per NFL ticket sold on behalf of the Stadium Authority. Per section 7 of the Ground Lease Agreement between the City and the Stadium Authority, the Stadium Authority remits this fee to the City as additional rent to support senior and youth programs in the City.
29 Stadium Management Fee – ManCo receives an annual base management fee to manage Levi’s® Stadium. The fee was $400,000 in the first lease year and increases by 3% annually as detailed in the table below. This annual base management fee is split 50/50 between StadCo and the Stadium Authority since ManCo manages the stadium year-round for both entities. In addition to the base management fee, ManCo also receives a stadium marketing and booking fee (in centive fee) which is based on a percentage of the amount that the net income from Non -NFL events exceeds the marketing and booking fee benchmark. The marketing and booking fee benchmark was $5 million in the first lease year and also increases by 3% annually as detailed in the table below. The annual stadium management fee for each of the first eleven lease years are noted in the chart 3 below.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD
SUBJECT
Action on the Stadium Manager’s Request for Approval of an Agreement with AMS Electric LLC dba Prime Electric LLC to Replace the Lighting Systems at Levi’s Stadium (Lighting Systems - Fixture Replacement of Major Outdoor Lighting/LED Retrofit/Sports Lighting CapEx Project) and Related Budget Amendment
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
As the Stadium Manager, Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC is responsible for maintaining “the Stadium in the Required Condition and operate the Stadium as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit and entertainment facility” as required by the Stadium Management Agreement between the Stadium Authority and Stadium Manager.
The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Capital Expense (CapEx) Budget includes $4,725,000 for a Lighting Systems - Fixture Replacement of Major Outdoor Lighting/LED Retrofit/Sports Lighting line item. The project, as described, replaces the current metal halide Stadium field/sports lights with an outdoor LED lighting product. The current system is over ten years old. This project will replace the aging system as it reaches the end of life. Sourcing replacement parts and metal halide lamps is becoming more difficult because most similar-sized venues, including 27 of the 30 NFL venues and 27 of the 30 MLB stadiums, have transitioned to an LED lighting system.
The Stadium’s Lighting Systems is one of the largest energy consuming systems in the Stadium.
Replacing the current lighting with an outdoor LED lighting product will lower energy consumption, extend the system’s operational life, require less maintenance, and decrease the carbon footprint by up to 40%. LED field lights provide an energy-efficient solution to upgrade the product that may soon be phased out. LED lights also last much longer and require less maintenance than metal halide lights.
The Stadium Manager is requesting approval for the following actions related to the Lighting Systems - Fixture Replacement of Major Outdoor Lighting/LED Retrofit/Sports Lighting CapEx Project:
1. Award a one-time agreement to AMS Electric LLC dba Prime Electric LLC, in the amount of $4,736,475 to replace the lighting systems with an outdoor LED retrofit of the sports lighting at Levi’s Stadium;
2. Approve a budget amendment to increase the total budget amount for this CapEx project by $414,631, from $4,725,000 to $5,139,631;

3. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute any and all documents associated with, and necessary for the award, completion, and acceptance of the project; and
4. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute change orders up to $236,824 for a total not to exceed construction agreement amount of $4,973,299.
If approved, the amended line item will cover the costs of the one-time agreement ($4,736,475), a 5% contingency for change orders ($236,824), San Jose Mercury News publication fee ($387), estimated permit fees ($44,757), and design services through a Stadium Authority Board approved agreement ($121,188).
A Recommendation for Award Memo was submitted describing the project, solicitation process, and Stadium Manager’s request (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION
Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo, supporting documentation, and draft agreement (Attachment 2) for consistency against the City’s public works bidding practices (City Charter Section 1310). The Stadium Manager’s Request for Bids (RFB) received four responses and the Stadium Manager is recommending award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, AMS Electric LLC dba Prime Electric LLC.
Based on the documentation and provided information, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request related to the Lighting Systems - Fixture Replacement of Major Outdoor Lighting/LED Retrofit/Sports Lighting CapEx Project.
The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the requested agreement for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. While there are some differences in the language, including portions covering compliance with laws such as prevailing wage and conflict of interest, the agreement submitted here for approval contains the necessary language which identifies these legal obligations to the vendor. The vendor expressly agrees to adhere to such obligations upon its execution of the agreement. Nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
The Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year- end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

On September 4, 2024, Stadium Manager published the Notice Inviting Bids for the Project in the San Jose Mercury News publication. Notices were also emailed on August 29, 2024 to prospective bidders, the Builders’ Exchange of Santa Clara County and Bay Area Builders Exchange to communicate with their respective member communities regarding the solicitation for the Project.
Stadium Manager held a mandatory pre-bid conference and site walk on October 10, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. (PT) to provide an overview of the Project, answer any questions from prospective bidders, and conduct a site walk. A total of eighteen representatives from fifteen companies attended the mandatory pre-bid conference. Additional site walk requests were accommodated by Stadium Manager.
Stadium Manager issued Addendum No. 1 on September 18, 2024 providing answers to questions asked by bidders and to update the plans and specifications. On September 23, 2024 Stadium Manager issued Addendum No. 2, informing all bidders of an acceptable alternate manufacturer’s product as an approved equal.
Electronic bid submissions were due on or before September 26, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. (PT). Four bids were received on or before the closing due date and time from the following firms:
1. General Lighting Service, Inc - $5,150,000
2. Cupertino Electric, Inc. - $7,350,717
3. Prime Electric - $4,736,475
4. Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. - $6,247,750
Public Bid Opening
A public bid opening was held on September 26, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (PT). The RFB provided the public bid opening webcast information including a meeting ID and password for bidders to log on via Zoom to attend. Multiple callers were in attendance. Stadium Manager announced the receipt of the four bids on or before the due date and time, announced the name of the bidders and the base bid amounts and declared Prime Electric LLC the apparent low bidder.
The protest period ends on October 3, 2024. In the event there is a protest, Stadium Manager will withdraw the recommendation and address the protest accordingly.
Evaluation of Apparent Low Bidder
Stadium Manager reviewed the bid from Prime Electric for responsiveness and responsibility factors. Prime Electric acknowledged the addendum as part of the bid documents in the bid itself but failed to submit the executed addenda. All other submissions were in order to ensure the bidder was responsive and responsible. Since the deviation in this case does not affect the amount of the bid or otherwise make the bid materially different than intended, the SCSA may waive the error as an immaterial deviation.
͵
Next Steps
The Project was approved as part of the FY24/25 SCSA Capital Expenditures budget. The current approved amount for this Project is $4,725,000.
Stadium Manager is recommending a budget augmentation to address the following costs for this Project:
1. Prime Electric LLC Bid - $4,736,475
2. Five percent Contingency Amount for Change Orders - $236,823.75
3. Publishing Fee - $387.40
4. Design Cost: $121,188
5. Permit Fee # 1: $22,378.65
6. Permit Fee #2 (estimated as not billed yet): $22,378.65
7. Total Cost: $5,139,631.45
8. Budget Augmentation Amount: $414,631.45
Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, a contract (included in the RFB) will be executed with Prime Electric LLC
, and a fully executed copy of the contract will be
forwarded to the SCSA. In addition, Stadium Manager requests authorization to issue change orders up to $236,823.75 or 5% of the Project cost which will allow Stadium Manager to take timely administrative action if required and not delay completion of the Project.
Supporting documentation has been provided for review and approval. The cost for advertising the RFB in the San Jose Mercury News publication for one day is $387.40. Stadium Manager’s request to publish legal notices in the San Jose Mercury News for various solicitations, including public works, was approved by the SCSA Board on July 13, 2021. This Project is a public works project.

The Stadium Manager shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing the Work when, in its judgment, the facts justify such an extension. Time extensions to the Project shall be requested by the Contractor as they occur and without delay. No delay claims shall be permitted unless the event or occurrence delays the completion of the Project beyond the Contract completion date.
D. No Damages for Reasonable Delay. The Stadium Manager’s liability to Contractor for delays for which the Stadium Manager is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances.

ARTICLE 42. PROGRESS ESTIMATES AND PAYMENT
A. By the tenth (10th) Day of the following calendar month, Contractor shall submit to Stadium Manager’s Representative a payment request which shall set forth in detail the value of the Work done for the period beginning with the date work was first commenced and ending on the end of the calendar month for which the payment request is prepared. Contractor shall include any amount earned for authorized extra work. From the total thus computed, a deduction shall be made in the amount of five percent (5%) for retention, except where the Stadium Manager has adopted a finding that the Work done under the Contract is substantially complex, and then the amount withheld as retention shall be the percentage specified in the Notice Inviting Bids.
From the remainder a further deduction may be made in accordance with Section B below. The amount computed, less the amount withheld for retention and any amounts withheld as set forth below, shall be the amount of the Contractor’s payment request.
B. The Stadium Manager may withhold a sufficient amount or amounts of any payment or payments otherwise due to Contractor, as in his judgment may be necessary to cover:
1. Payments which may be past due and payable for just claims against Contractor or any subcontractors for labor or materials furnished in and about the performance of work on the Project under this Contract.

In so doing, the Stadium Manager shall be deemed the agent of Contractor and any payment so made by the Stadium Manager shall be considered as a payment made under contract by the Stadium Manager to Contractor and the Stadium Manager shall not be liable to Contractor for such payments made in good faith. Such payments may be made without prior judicial determination of claim or obligations. The Stadium Manager will render Contractor a proper accounting of such funds disbursed on behalf of Contractor.
D. Upon receipt, the Stadium Manager’s Representative shall review the payment request to determine whether it is undisputed and suitable for payment. If the payment request is determined to be unsuitable for payment, it shall be returned to Contractor as soon as practicable but not later than seven (7) Days after receipt, accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper. The Stadium Manager shall make the progress payment within 30 calendar days after the receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted payment request from Contractor, provided that a release of liens and claims has been received from the Contractor pursuant to Civil Code Section 8132. The number of days available to the Stadium Manager to make a payment without incurring interest pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced by the number of days by which the Stadium Manager’s Representative exceeds the seven (7) Day requirement.
E. A payment request shall be considered properly executed if funds are available for payment of the payment request and payment is not delayed due to an audit inquiry by the financial officer of the Stadium Manager.

ARTICLE 44. CHANGES AND EXTRA WORK.
A. Contract Change Orders.
1. The Stadium Manager, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, and the Contract Price and Contract Time shall be adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided herein, all such changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order, and shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. A Change Order signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith, including any adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time, and the full and final settlement of all costs (direct, indirect and overhead) related to the Work authorized by the Change Order.
2. Contractor shall promptly execute changes in the Work as directed in writing by the Stadium Manager even when the parties have not reached agreement on whether the change increases the scope of Work or affects the Contract Price or Contract Time. All claims for additional compensation to the Contractor shall be presented in writing. No claim will be considered after the Work in question has been done unless a written Change Order has been issued or a timely written notice of claim has been made by Contractor.
3. Whenever any change is made as provided for herein, such change shall be considered and treated as though originally included in the Contract, and shall be subject to all terms, conditions, and provisions of the original Contract.
4. Contractor shall not be entitled to claim or bring suit for damages, whether for loss of profits or otherwise, on account of any decrease or omission of any item or portion of Work to be done.
5. No dispute, disagreement, or failure of the parties to reach agreement on the terms of the Change Order shall relieve the Contractor from the obligation to proceed with performance of the work, including Additional Work, promptly and expeditiously.
6. Contractor shall make available to the Stadium Manager any of the Contractor’s documents related to the Project immediately upon request of the Stadium Manager, as set forth in Article 52.
7. Any alterations, extensions of time, Additional Work, or any other changes may be made without securing consent of the Contractor’s surety or sureties.
B. Contract Price Change.
1. Process for Determining Adjustments in Contract Price. a. Owner Initiated Change. The Contractor must submit a complete cost proposal, including any change in the Contract Price or Contract Time, within seven (7) Days after receipt of a scope of a proposed change order initiated by
Levi’s Stadium Lighting Systems - Fixture Replacement
of Major Outdoor Lighting / LED Retrofit / Sports
Lighting Project
RFB Number: RFB-FY24-0066
-47- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
the Stadium Manager, unless the Stadium Manager requests that proposals be submitted in less than seven (7) Days.
b. Contractor Initiated Change. The Contractor must give written notice of a proposed change order required for compliance with the Contract Documents within seven (7) Days of discovery of the facts giving rise to the proposed change order.
c. Whenever possible, any changes to the Contract amount shall be in a lump s
um mutually agreed to by the Contractor and the Stadium Manager. d. Price quotations from the Contractor shall be accompanied by sufficiently detailed supporting documentation to permit verification by the Stadium Manager, including but not limited to estimates and quotations from subcontractors or material suppliers, as the Stadium Manager may reasonably request. Contractor shall certify the accuracy of all Change Order Requests under penalty of perjury.
e. If the Contractor fails to submit a complete cost proposal within the seven (7) Day period (or as requested), the Stadium Manager has the right to order the Contractor in writing to commence the Work immediately on a time and materials basis and/or issue a lump sum change to the Contract Price and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Stadium Manager ’s estimate. If the change is issued based on the Stadium Manager's estimate, the Contractor will waive its right to dispute the action unless within fifteen (15) Days following completion of the added/deleted work, the Contractor presents written proof that the Stadium Manager’s estimate was in error.
2. Unit Price Change Orders.
a. When the actual quantity of a Unit Price item varies from the Bid Form, compensation for the change in quantity will be calculated by multiplying the actual quantity by the Unit Price. This calculation may result in either an additive or deductive Final Change Order pursuant to the Contract Documents. b. No Mark up for Overhead and Profit. Because the Contract Unit Prices provided in the Bid Form include Overhead and Profit as determined by Contractor at the time of Bid submission, no mark up or deduction for Overhead and Profit will be included in Unit Price Change Orders. c. Bid items included on the Bid Form may be deducted from the Work in their ent
irety without any negotiated extra costs.
d. Contractor acknowledges that unit quantities are estimates and agrees that the estimated unit quantities listed on the Bid Form will be adjusted to reflect the actual unit quantities which may result in an adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices. Such an adjustment will be made by execution of a final additive or deductive Change Order following Contractor’s completion of the Work. Upon notification, Contractor’s failure to respond within seven (7) Days will result in

RFB Number: RFB-FY24-0066
-48- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
Stadium Manager’s issuance of a unit quantity adjustment to the Contract Unit Prices and/or Contract Time in accordance with the Contract Documents. e. The Stadium Manager or Contractor may make a Claim for an adjustment in the Unit Price in accordance with the Contract Documents if:
i. the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs by twenty-five percent (25%) or more from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract; and
ii. there is no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and
iii. Contractor believes that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Unit Price as a result of having incurred additional expense or the Stadium Manager believes that the Stadium Manager is entitled to a decrease in Unit Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease..
3. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions of this Section into all agreements with Subcontractors. Compensation for Lump Sum Change Orders shall be limited to expenditures necessitated specifically by the Additional Work, and shall be according to the following:
a. Overview.
The Contractor will submit a properly itemized Lump Sum Change Order Proposal covering the Additional Work and/or the work to be deleted.
This proposal will be itemized for the various components of the Additional Work and segregated by labor, material, and equipment in a detailed format satisfactory to the Stadium Manager. The Stadium Manager will require itemized change orders on all change order proposals from the Contractor, subcontractors, and sub- subcontractors regardless of tier. Details to be submitted will include detailed line item estimates showing detailed materials quantity take- offs, material prices by item and related labor hour pricing information and extensions (by line item or by drawing as applicable). b. Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws, as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will not be permitted unless the Contractor establishes the necessity for such new classifications. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental.
Estimated labor hours must only include hours for those workmen and working for
emen directly involved in performing the change order work. Supervision above the level of working foremen (such as general foremen, superintendent,

of Major Outdoor Lighting / LED Retrofit / Sports
Lighting Project

-49- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
project manager, etc.) is considered to be included in the markup percentages as outlined below. Note that no separate allowances for warranty expense will be allowed as a direct cost of a change order. Costs attributed to warranty expenses will be considered to be covered by the markup. c. Labor Burden. Labor burden allowable in change orders shall be defined as employer's net actual cost of payroll taxes (FICA, Medicare, SUTA, FUTA), net actual cost for employer's cost of union benefits (or other usual and customary fringe benefits if the employees are not union employees), and net actual cost to employer for worker's compensation insurance taking into consideration adjustments for experience modifiers, premium discounts, dividends, rebates, expense constants, assigned risk pool costs, net cost reductions due to policies with deduct ibles for self -insured losses, assigned risk rebates, etc.
Contractor shall reduce their standard payroll tax percentages to properly reflect the effective cost reduction due to the estimated impact of the annual maximum wages subject to payroll taxes. An estimated percentage for labor burden may be used for pricing change orders. However, the percentage used for labor burden to price change orders will be examined at the conclusion of the Project and an adjustment to the approved change orders will be processed if it is determined that the actual labor burden percentage should have been more or less than the estimated percentage used.
d. Materials.
The cost of materials reported shall be at invoice or lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight, and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer’s invoice. If invoices or other satisfactory evidence of cost are not furnished within fifteen (15) Days of delivery, then the Stadium Manager shall determine the materials cost, at its sole discretion. Estimated material change order costs shall reflect the Contractor's reasonably anticipated net actual cost for the purchase of the material needed for the change order work. Estimated material costs shall reflect cost reductions available to the Contractor due to “non- cash” discounts, trade discounts, free material credits, and/or volume rebates. “Cash” discounts (i.e., prompt payment discounts of 2% or less) available on material purchased for change order work shall be credited to the Stadium Manager if the Contractor is provided the Stadium Manager funds in time for Contractor to take advantage of any such “cash” discounts. The portion of any “cash” discounts greater than 2% will not be considered “non- cash” discount for purposes of this provision.
Price quotations from material suppliers must be itemized with unit prices for each specific item to be purchased. "Lot pricing" quotations will not be considered sufficient substantiating detail.
e. Tool and Equipment Use. Costs for the use of small tools, which are tools that have a replacement value of $1,000 or less, shall be considered included in the Overhead and Profit mark-ups established below. Allowable change order estimated costs may include appropriate amounts for rental of major equipment specifically needed to perform the change order work (defined as tools and equipment with an individual purchase cost of more than $750). For Contractor owned equipment, the "bare" equipment rental rates allowed to be

of Major Outdoor Lighting / LED Retrofit / Sports
Lighting Project
RFB Number: RFB-FY24-0066
-50- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
used for pricing change order proposals shall be 75% of the monthly rate listed in the most current publication of The AED Green Book divided by 176 to arrive at a maximum hourly rate to be applied to the hours the equipment is used performing the change order work. Further, for Contractor owned equipment, the aggregate equipment rent charges for any single piece of equipment used in all change order work shall be limited to 50% of the fair market value of the piece of equipment when the first change order is priced involving usage of the piece of equipment. Fuel necessary to operate the equipment will be considered as a separate direct cost associated with the change order work. f. Maximum Markup Percentage Allowable on Self -P
erformed Work . With
respect to pricing change orders, the maximum markup percentage to be paid to any Contractor or subcontractor (regardless of tier) on self -performed work shall be a single markup percentage not-to-exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the net direct cost of (1) direct labor and allowable labor burden costs applicable to the change in the Work; (2) the net cost of material and installed equipment incorporated into the change in the Work, and (3) net rental cost of major equipment and related fuel costs necessary to complete the change in the Work.
g. Maximum Markup Percentages Allowable on Work Performed by Lower Tier Subcontractors. With respect to pricing the portion of change order proposals involving Work performed by lower ti er contractors, the maximum markup percentage allowable to the Contractor or subcontractor supervising the lower tier subcontractor's work shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the net of all approved change order work performed by all subcontractors combined for any particular change order proposal.
h. No Markup on Bonds and Liability Insurance Costs .
Change order cost
adjustments due to increases or decreases in bond or insurance costs (if applicable) shall not be subject to any markup.
i. Direct and Indirect Costs Covered by Markup Percentages .
As a further
clarification, the agreed upon markup percentage set forth above is intended to cover the Contractor's profit and all indirect costs associated with the change order work. Items intended to be covered by the markup percentage include, but are not limited to: home office expenses, branch office and field office overhead expense of any kind, project management, superintendents, general foremen, estimating, engineering, coordinating, expediting, purchasing, detailing, legal, accounting, data processing or other administrative expenses, shop drawings, permits, auto insurance and umbrella insurance, pick-up truck costs, and warranty expense costs. The cost for the use of small tools is also to be considered covered by the markup percentage established above. Small tools shall be defined as tools and equipment (power or non- power) with an individual purchase cost of less than $750.
j. Deduct Change Orders and Net Deduct Changes. The application of the markup percentages referenced above will apply to both additive and deductive change orders. In the case of a deductive change order, the credit
Levi’s Stadium Lighting Systems - Fixture Replacement
of Major Outdoor Lighting / LED Retrofit / Sports
Lighting Project
RFB Number: RFB-FY24-0066
-51- 00 72 13 – GENERAL CONDITIONS
will be computed by applying the sliding scale percentages as outlined above so that a deductive change order would be computed in the same manner as an additive change order. In those instances where a change involves both additive and deductive work, the additions and deductions will be netted and the markup percentage adjustments will be applied to the net amount. k. Contingency. In no event will any lump sum or percentage amounts for "contingency" be allowed to be added as a separate line item in change order estimates. Unknowns attributable to labor hours will be accounted for when estimating labor hours anticipated performing the work. Unknowns attributable to material scrap and waste will be estimated as part of material costs. l. Insurance and Bonds.
In the event the Contractor has been required to furnish insurance and/or bonds as part of the base contract price, a final contract change order will be processed to account for the Contractor's net increase or decrease in insurance costs and/or bond premium costs associated with change orders to Contractor's base Contract Price.
4. Time and Materials Change Orders.
a. General.

SUBJECT
Action on Stadium Manager’s Request to Execute a Second Amendment to the Concessions Operating Agreement with Levy Premium Foodservice Limited Partnership
BOARD PILLAR
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium
BACKGROUND
The Forty Niners Stadium Management Company (the “Stadium Manager”) and Levy Premium Foodservice Limited Partnership (the “Concessionaire”) entered into a Concessions Operating Agreement, dated February 20, 2018, as amended by a First Amendment dated June 1, 2021 (collectively the “Agreement”), under which the Stadium Manager granted the Concessionaire the right to provide certain food, beverage and catering services at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California (the “Stadium”).
The Agreement stipulates the Concessionaire shall provide all Food and Beverage Services in a professional, "First Class" manner. First Class means that Concessionaire's services shall be of the highest quality offered in NFL stadiums, commensurate with the current standards at three (3) top- quality NFL stadiums and in accordance with: 1) the terms of this Agreement; 2) all applicable legal requirements; 3) all reasonable standards established from time to time by the Manager relating to health, safety, quality, design, operating matters, and customer satisfaction (i.e. fans) and; 4) all rules and regulations imposed by the Stadium Manager relating to the use of the Stadium.
The Concessionaire is also required to provide sufficient inventory of Refreshments at the Stadium, and at each point-of-sale within the Stadium operated by Concessionaire, in order to fulfill Concessionaire's obligations to provide the Food and Beverage Services for the entirety of each Event at the Stadium. The Concessionaire acknowledges and agrees that Concessionaire shall maintain inventory (at all times, at each location selling such items) of the top five revenue generating items in each of the Food, Alcoholic Beverages, and Non-Alcoholic Beverages categories, as determined by the previous year's sales for similar event types or as selected by the Stadium Manager in its sole discretion.
The Agreement provides two types of calculations to determine Levy’s payments: one for NFL events, which is calculated based on the Forty Niners SC Stadium Company, LLC’s ("StadCo") Share of Net Receipts; and one for Stadium Authority’s Commissions for Non-NFL Events, which is calculated based on a percentage of the Gross Receipts. The Stadium Manager is requesting the Stadium Authority to amend the agreement to amend the definition of Net Receipts that will result in the shifting of more responsibility of the joint operational costs to StadCo. The new terms have no financial impact on the Stadium Authority and revenues that it receives, nor do the terms impact the City of Santa Clara Printed on 10/18/2024Page 1 of 3

Concessionaire’s operational standards.
DISCUSSION
The Stadium Manager is requesting the Stadium Authority to amend the agreement to change the split of the Joint Operating Costs in the “Net Receipts” definition in the Agreement from “Fifty-One Percent (51%) of Joint Operating Costs - a fixed rate - to a pro rata share of Joint Operating Costs - a variable rate - using the percent of Gross Receipts from NFL Events over the total Gross Receipts from both Stadium Authority Events and NFL Events for such Fiscal Year. The pro rata share of Joint Operating Costs shall be 70% for NFL Events, and 30% for Stadium Authority Events for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. For all other years, the pro rata share of Joint Operating Costs shall be estimated at the start of each Fiscal Year at 70% for NFL Events, and 30% for Authority Events, and then settled not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the end of the Fiscal Year. Such modifications shall apply only to the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2024, and subsequent Fiscal Years.
Below are the Net Receipts and Joint Operating Costs definitions in the Agreement:
Net Receipts:
Refer to the total amount of Gross Receipts from NFL Events less StadCo Operating Costs, fifty-one percent (51%) of the Joint Operating Costs, the Annual Preference Payment, the Renewal and Replacement Amount for Gross Receipts from NFL Events, the Annual Management Fee, the Concessionaire Preference Payment, and the Investment Use Fee.
Joint Operating Costs:
Refer to, collectively, Concessionaire's (i) non-attributable costs incurred in connection with Concessionaire's operation of the Food and Beverage Services at the Stadium and the Outside Areas in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, cost of office supplies, postage, computer software, network connections, information systems infrastructure, telephone service, accounting and reporting, mutually agreed upon background checks of employees and vendors, payroll costs, including reasonable fringe benefits, employee benefits, and training costs; (ii) costs incurred for pest control, trash removal, janitorial service, cleaning expenses, including, but not limited to, the cost of supplies that cannot be attributed to Stadium Authority Events or NFL Events; (iii) cost of Utility Services; (iv) the cost of uniforms if provided by Concessionaire; (v) cost of governmental charges, such as the cost of obtaining and maintaining all necessary or required licenses or permits; (vi) cost of Smallwares and Customer Surveys; (vii) items specifically identified elsewhere in this Agreement as a Joint Operating Cost; and (viii) any other costs actually and reasonably incurred by Concessionaire in connection with the Food and Beverage Services not directly attributable to a Stadium Authority Event or NFL Events, all as replied by Concessionaire to Manager on a monthly basis in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (as the same may be modified from time to time by mutual agreement).
Staff Analysis: The amendment offers terms that modify how the Net Receipts are calculated, which will result in a shift of more costs to StadCo’s side of the ledger. The Stadium Authority’s payment is based on a percentage of the Gross Receipts, therefore this amendment does not have any financial impact on the Stadium Authority revenues received under this agreement. The result is that StadCo pays a larger portion of the Joint Operating Costs and the Concessionaire pays a smaller portion.
For the reasons outlined above, staff recommends Board approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to execute the Second Amendment to the Concessions Operating Agreement with Levy.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment or pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no direct financial impacts to the Stadium Authority. However, this agreement continues to be of interest to the Stadium Authority as the quality of Levy’ concessions services and their capital investments are important to Levi’s Stadium’s operations and standard of care.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Stadium Authority Counsel and Treasurer’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected].
