Box 561 Lubbock, TX 73408 , Dear Committee Members: The Price Waterhouse Sports and Convention Facilities Group is pleased to respond to' -your request for this proposal. This letter agreement will describe our understanding of the background and objectives of the study, proposed scope of services, qualifications and references, time and budget requirements, terms of the engagement and authorization to proceed. Background and Objective of Study r� The City of Lubbock serves west Texas as a center for entertainment and sports activities. Lubbock Coliseum also serves as the home court for the Texas Tech basketball program. The coliseum was built in the mid 1950's and does not have air conditioning. Consequently, its limited seating capacity and physical condition does not enable it to capture many types of events and major shows. =The Lubbock Civic Center serves the convention and trade show needs of the area. Its_exhibition space and meeting room capacity however, may require expansion to accommodate the growing needs of its clients and retain its market share. Accordingly, the Multi Purpose Facility Planning Committee has requested the services of an independent firm, specializing in arena and convention center planning, to evaluate the needs for new facilities, recommend the scope of new or expanded building space, and estimate prospective financial operations. as.;,. • 23S7 q January 10 1991 All Purpose Facility Planning Committee Page 2 Scope of Services` The facility needs and prospective operations analysis for he proposed center will be conducted in two segments or phases of work... This approach will permit the committee to approve or modify the consultants' suggested building program before the financial analysis is conducted. The work plan includes three work sessions to provide for committee involvement before the field work begins (Work Session I), at the completion of the market study/ recommended building program (Work Session II), and following the committee's review of the draft report (Work Session III). Phase I1- Market Analysis and Building Program This phase='of work consists of several analytical techniques which, taken together, will provide a reliable basis to .w� estimate the prospective utilization of the all purpose center and define the building space requirements for the center. Task 1. (irientation and Work Session I _ A meeting with the committee will be scheduled prior to the initiation of field work. This will provide an opportunity for the consulting team and committee to review and refine the proposed work program, identify specific individuals or enterprises to be interviewed and schedule dates for draft report reviews and future work sessions. The agenda for this meeting will also include the designation of consultant and committee contact persons and identification of existing reports and plans, and other documents which may be relevant to this study. At the conclusion of Task 1, the committee and consultant should have a clear understanding of the work schedule, report format, dates. for report delivery and future work sessions. January 10,.1991 All Purpose Facility Planning Committee Page 3 Task 2. Existing Data, :Local Interviews and Collection Analysis Prior studies,.financial reports and other documents will be collected and reviewed. Historical utilization and financial operations of the Civic Center and Auditorium/ Coliseum for the past three years (FY 1987-88, 1988-89 and 1989-90) will also.be"assembled and evaluated. Other important operational characteristics of the existing facilities which,_will be evaluated include: event • Rental rates - service charges • Staffing - organizational structure •. Food and beverage operations • Building facilities and equipment • Other relevant operational characteristics This task will also include interviews with committee members, Civic Center and staff members, hospitality industry leaders, civic and governmental leaders and others. Task 3. Interviews with Past and Prospective Users ..This will include interviews and surveys of event promoters, association executives, meeting planners, show producers and sports event sponsors. These interviews and surveys will include past users as well as prospective users of the proposed center. Information to be gathered will include their perceptions of Lubbock's comparative advantages/ disadvantages,.facility needs and estimated utilization and attendance. Task 4. Identify and Evaluate Competitive Facilities Competitive facilities for spectator sports and entertainment events and consumer shows would include existing and proposed local and regional facilities. Facilities competing with Lubbock for convention and trade show events would include other convention centers and rr, exhibition halls in Texas and the southwestern region of the U.S. These two groups or types of facilities will be identified and described in terms of their building and locational characteristics, utilization and event mix, and financial operations. 6 MLW �7 Fal rJ A �i ri W_- January 10,::1991 All Purpose ' .Facility Planning Committee .Page 4 Task 5. Community Economics and Demographic Analysis Relevant characteristics of Lubbock which support the proposed center include:,population (metro area and ADI), comparative age, income and employment characteristics of the population,comparative composition of employment (economic base characteristics), air service, attractions and hotel rooms supply. Thesestatistics will be assembled and evaluated to determine Lubbock's present and future resident and economic ,support ,for. the proposed center. Task 6., Comparable.Communities Facility Analysis Convention center and.arena type facilities in communities with comparable convention/trade show resources and demographic characteristics will be identified. These facilities will be evaluated in terms of their building programs, utilization,:development costs, financial operations and other features. . Task 7. Estimate Prospective Utilization The information gathered and analyzed in Tasks 1-6 will provide the basis for estimating prospective utilization. Industry trends, changes in the competitive supply of facilities and market shares will also be considered in this task. Prospective utilization will be described and shown in a tabular format and will -be expressed in terms of: 0 Type of event 0 Parking requirements a Number of performance. or 0 Seasonality of event ,event days 0 Food and beverage 0 Space requirements or requirements average attendance 0 Attendance per event This information will be expressed in ranges. i January 10, 1991 All Purpose Facility Planning Committee Page 5 Task 8. Evaluate Building Program and Site Requirements: Progress Report The estimated usage provided in task 7 will indicate the building requirements, parking needs and site area requirements. Building size and site area recommendations will consider future expansion requirements as well 'as current needs. The building program will be expressed in terms of: • Spectator seating V Selected performance • Exhibition space specifications' • Meeting rooms • Parking space needs • Assembly space • Banquet -ballroom needs • Support space (kitchen, locker • Premium seat require - rooms, office, etc.) ments These will be shown as building area requirements which, in turn, will determine building foot print, plan layout options, location criteria and site requirements. A progress report will be delivered at the conclusion of Task 8. Phase II - Financial Analysis Task 9. Work Session II and Estimated Prospective Operating Revenues and Expenses Work Session II will be.conducted'approximately one week following your receipt of the progress report. The work session will.focus on the results of Phase I and a building program and site location criteria will be adopted. �Y I Fla F'1 Vl�l r F r F-W 11 J January 10, 1991 All Purpose Facility Planning Committee Page 6 Based on the findings of.Phase I and the building program and site location criteria selected in Work Session III prospective operating revenues and expenses will be estimated by major- account classifications: Operating Revenues Operating Expenses • Rentals Salaries and wages • Event services Utilities • Catering and.concessions Insurance • Parking Materials & supplies • Novelties 'Repairs & Maintenance • Other Other These estimates will be provided for the first five years of operations and inflation rates will be shown for years. 10. Task 10. Estimated Unit Costs and Development Costs (Excluding.Land) Construction and related.costs (design, equipment, construction management, etc.) will be obtained from .recently constructed similar facilities. These cost figures will be adjusted to reflect inflationary (1991 $Is) and locational (Lubbockarea)differentials. Development costs will then be expressed in terms of unit costs (per sq. foot or per seat) as well as the estimated range of total costs. Task 11. Economic and Fiscal Impacts Analysis The economic impacts (employment, sales and income) from the proposed centers development and operations will be estimated as total and incremental impacts. These estimates will provide the basis for estimating fiscal or tax impacts. The.impacts will be shown as direct, or first round impacts, as well as total impacts on Lubbock and Garza Counties resulting from all spending rounds. . The major tax revenue estimates will include hotel and sales taxes. The total and incremental economic and fiscal impacts will be based on.non-resident attendee spending and the U.S. Governments EIFS model for the Lubbock area economy.'
