stands for Outstanding Hospitality Managements. Our company is a food and beverage-based company. We are passionate about our business. To put it

simply, customers are our priority, and we want to take care of them to our best ability. Our vision

is simple-to enrich the lives of our partners. We operate in some of the top airports in the country. We have a track record of

increasing sales and customer satisfaction at some of our contracts. For example, in St. Louis we

took a facility that was TCBY, about 400 square feet, we reconcepted, added Dunkin Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, of sales from 400,000 annually to 2.2 million-just simply switching the concepts, seeing the vision behind it, and increasing the sales. OHM is owned and operated as a hundred percent Florida ACDB (phonetic) company. As you

have kid-friendly offerings as well, an option for parents that are traveling with the kids. In

fact, the national brands drive three times more revenue than the local concept, and thats a fact, not my own perception. standards. National brands give

What are you guys getting with OHM? to get Chick-fil-A.

Chick-fil-A right now is one

of the hottest brands in the North American market. They have over 1,700 stores, and you will

be getting for this size airport, the small regional airport-this will be the first small regional airport with such a-with a brand like that. Youll be getting Einstein Bagels, one of the best bakery concepts in North America, and they do that while maintaining a high level of quality and service and support. They offer a

variety of speciality coffees, sandwiches, light fare and snacks for an all-day menu option. Corona Beach House-were taking a regionally themed Florida staple and giving it a national-with national standards. They have an

extensive menu and offer pricing from $8 to $16. Surf City Squeeze-they have-offer healthy alternatives for todays more healthconscious people, because, lets face it, were all trying to live a more health-conscious

salads, sandwiches, wraps, and they add a nutritious choice to the consumer thats looking for it. What OHM will bring to you, well bring you value, reasonable prices, a little something for everybody, choices. Between all the brands

that were going to offer you, somebody is going to find something that they want. There are

standards with backing from a national-all the national brands. You can guarantee that there is

going to be, like, support and systems in place. What does that mean for Pensacola and its customers? It means hundred-percent

satisfaction for your customers and for the city as well. MR. MILAN PATEL: We have compiled

comparison data for airports the size of Pensacola, for example, 700 to 800 enplanement passengers. Our concept plan will immediately

place Pensacola above other regional airports, as you can see on the screen, place Pensacola on the same level as larger airports in terms of offerings. This will not only attract passengers,

HITCHCOCK & ASSOCIATES

10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 just as importantly, it will attract airlines to Pensacola. So now Id like to take a moment to bring up Tara Carmichael from our design group to take you through the design aspect of the proposal. Thank you. MS. CARMICHAEL: Hello. When we

approached this RFP in terms of the design in maximizing the potential of these spaces, to be able to really-not just from a design perspective, from a performance perspective, too-optimize what we can provide to the travelers. When you start looking at what weve presented here, were actually at 30 percent drawings. real. I mean, these are designs that are They can go right

Theyre not imaginary.

into construction drawing phase. So part of what we tried to do was take the spaces that were being offered and really get the most out of them. At the Einstein Bros.

location, which is the pre-security, we wanted to provide a space where people felt like they could sit and wait for-you know, if theres delays, obviously, the more comfortable people are, you know, theyll not only purchase items, but theyll

HITCHCOCK & ASSOCIATES

11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 be happy to frequent the airport and realize that theres options when youre sitting, waiting for people to arrive. So we incorporate a storage area, but we also maximize the seating area, so its like a nice, open caf, open windows out onto the tarmac and really relates to the space within. We also wanted to kind of keep in mind with all of our concepts how it integrated withyou guys had a beautiful renovation. that work within what were proposing? How does We dont

want to propose something that doesnt fully maximize what youre looking for in terms of spending that kind of money, investing into the spaces. In terms of the interior space, postsecurity, we really wanted to create kind of a destination for customers but also that provided most choices. So we start with Chick-fil-A which They have

We wanted to focus on We

have not only lighting, materials, equipment that are all focused on that because the design-the world that we live in is focusing more towards a

12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 green attitude, but also make it recognizable, obviously, to people who know Chick-fil-A; and its colors keep the kitchen open so people can see into it. it. So you can see that we really used high quality, durable materials, very clean, modern, and really trying to focus on that part of updating and giving you a great space to invite your customers. Then post-security we also have our Corona concept which is obviously Florida. It It really relates to the space around

reflects Florida, has the beach, the sun, the vibrant colors, all of those textures. The floor Its

got that great water, surf, sand, but also colors that feel comfortable. This gives us our sit-down

option where people can sit, wait for their flight, have a drink or not, have some food, and just take the time that they need to relax. So we

have, you know, pebble elements and the stone and things like that that are really going to be durable and last throughout the time that you need for the space, so that it doesnt look old in two or three years.

HITCHCOCK & ASSOCIATES

13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Then we have our Surf City Squeeze concept which is obviously very focused on the ocean and the sun and has that great, bright inviting feel, and its more of a quick-serve option, which obviously has the option for you to go and use the seating areas in the open. We kept

the whole design of the post-security open so that you can sit down with whatever you take, or you can take it with you on the airplane. So again,

these are all bright, colorful, solid materials that are going to last. Then we have a second Einstein Bagels, which does provide us with another opportunity to have a seat. Its a little more of a quick You dont feel

The idea with all of these is that they complement each other, but theyre very recognizable brands, and in the design we kept those brands, but we adapted it for the airport use because, obviously, airport traffic is very different from a street location. So that was

important in the way that we approached the designs. Theyre very accessible and open. You can see out into the The

windows are open.

it really adds to it versus, you know, conflicting with the overall design of the airport. In summary, basically, our goal is to make this a reality in a very efficient, seamless manner as possible. We would like to be able to

open the Chick-fil-A space in April of 2014 once the existing spaces are barricaded, once the leases are up, also be able to provide kiosks temporarily to allow those services still to be provided to travelers, which is very important, so that when they open in August of 2014, the travelers already know that they have the options there. They dont have to wait until August to

get them. So I will turn it now over to Hamal.

were going to dive into some financials of what actually drove, you know, our RFP and our proposal. OHMs proposal is data driven, and our proposal is based on past performances at Pensacola International Airport and our own experience offering some more concepts. Moreover,

HITCHCOCK & ASSOCIATES

15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 working with our brand partners, we have compiled realistic and achievable sales goals. Our plan

will drive sales and therefore revenues to the city. We have achieved a 66-percent sales increase over our current performance with our program, as you can see on the top part of the chart. We plan to raise the capture rate and

increase the sales per employment to industry standards which is setting up (unintelligible) per employment passenger. Our proposal also guarantees the city and airport a minimum rent of over 4.4 million over the term of the agreement. Our capital investment proposal exceeds the stated minimum investment for this proposal. Our proposed investment ensures that we would have a world-class dynamic facility which would complement and enhance the Pensacola airport. Our plan will increase the jobs to Pensacola International Airport for about a hundred full-time jobs and also approximately ten management positions. We will also be contributing approximately $600,000 annually to the local

We will also be giving back to those who serve our country by giving coupons and discounts to military members and their families. We are fully committed to supporting the local economy, and Maria will give you an example of how we provide this with the local USO and military. MS. PATEL: We are located in St. Louis

service program where we teach all of our associates, you know, the ins and outs of, you know, a proper sale, how to take a complaint and everything like that. Between our training and then the branch training, I believe, as well as everybody here, that we would be able to have a combination of, like, world-class customer service that you guys would have that would be unbeatable. MR. MILAN PATEL: And more so, we want

the associate to be an ambassador to the airport, not just an associate thats working, earning a paycheck. We want them to really take-know the

airport besides their job so if a guest comes to them and says, Hey, where is the restroom? Where is the escalator? Where is the elevator? Where can I go to the baggage claim? theyre able to answer those questions without bothering the employer, without being distracted. what we want them to be. Thats

We want them to really

be an ambassador to the Pensacola airport, not just an associate for OHM.

St. Louis has a-called Catch Us (unintelligible) program the airport came out with. Its a

customer service based program so customers can actually go onto the airport website and leave comments about people, and every month one of our employees from one of our stores is on there, about, like, you know, helping them up the escalator or, you know, walking them to their gate or something along those lines, taking the personal extra step. Its a fact, every day our customers vote with their wallets. You know, theyre going

to figure out, you know, give us their vote. Either theyre going to choose to endorse us, or theyre going to choose to endorse somebody else, and we want them to endorse Pensacola, and we want them to endorse us as well. OHM has responded to the citys request-Im sorry. OHM has responded to the RFP You asked for first

Innovative food and beverage concessions, concepts, designs and passenger experiences, weve delivered on that. Exceptional levels of customer service and satisfaction in quality products, we have that in all the other locations that were in, and we are ready and able to bring that to Pensacola. We believe in supporting local vendors and businesses, and we will incorporate a buylocal program; and then once again, we are a hundred percent ACDB (phonetic) owned and operated. MR. MILAN PATEL: So in summary, OHM

has responded a hundred percent to the request for the RFP that was set forth by the city. We have

answered each and every question to our best ability and knowledge, delivered division and goals in detail set by you guys to see what do you guys want to bring to Pensacola airport. We went beyond that, maximizing the design aspect of the locations to make sure that its more inviting, more open to the public, make sure that they want to come in and dine, to

storage space is not going to give you more aeronautical revenue. The passengers will.

Maximizing customer satisfaction and drive sales and the revenue to the airport is our game. Thats all we know how to do, and were

ready to come to Pensacola airport. This will elevate Pensacola to the national prominence and position, Pensacola in the same category as the top fifty airports in America. Complements to the overall airport and incorporate sustainable environmental friendly material, finishes, and equipment, provides passengers and visitors and staff members with a world-class dynamic plan reflecting what todays future passengers are demanding. Lastly, but most importantly, we wanted to give them choices. At OHM we like to take a

space of 400 square feet and probably put six concepts if were able to maximize the revenue. So we wanted to offer variety, choices, and a value proposition to all the passengers traveling through. Financial commitment is guaranteed,

UNIDENTIFIED: I have a quick question,

just from the business standpoint, more so geared towards Chick-fil-A. Just so theres no problems

down the road, if this actually happens, are there any territorial issues with present ownership, or is the ownership going to be the ownership here in the airport? How does that territorial stuff work

as far as ownership and operation of Chick-fil-A? UNIDENTIFIED: Thats a great question.

So let me explain kind of the structure of our licensing program in relation to OHM, and I think that might answer your question. UNIDENTIFIED: UNIDENTIFIED: Okay. We have about 14

restaurants in this area, and all of them are individually, locally owned by business owners, and so theres no territory. Theres no lines

Florida, but-so you can go anywhere with Chick-fil-A, and so theres no territorial issues here at the airport; but what well do is well actually contract with a local owner-operator to support the Chick-fil-A here in Pensacola. Thats

one of the feedbacks we get from our business partners, is that the support level that Chickfil-A provides for business partners is actually pretty well compared to some others because we have a local guy or gal on the ground that comes at least two times a month to grow the businesshelp them grow the business and also help just to make sure the brand standards are in check; but it would be their business, if that makes sense.

theres money being left out-left on the table by the passengers here because of the choices, and there will-quite frankly, this is my fourth time throughout the RFP process. okay. Ill be like, Hey, Ive got a

somebody that knows how to work in an airport. UNIDENTIFIED: MR. DONOVAN: Possibly. Ive got a quick question

concerning Surf City Squeeze, the pricing schedule for that. MR. SALAZAR: Our pricing runs from

3.50 for a small fruit blend smoothie to 5.50 for a large. So its 3.50, 4.50, 5.50, and then one

theres a list of about twelve of them I have here. So that runs about 1.25 to add that

supplement and convert your smoothie to a power smoothie. I dont know how you areMR. ROBERTS: MR. SALAZAR: Seven-hour energy drink. -but when I get on a

plane-taking down a little echinacea before you get on a plane is not-thats not the sort of thing-I dont know if you want to get on there and pump iron, but thats available, too. So, basically, thats on the smoothie side, and then we have some other light fare that well be offering that will fall within that price range. MR. MILAN PATEL: And along with that,

if I may, director, we want to probably do like cross-marketing within our concepts. Like, lets

say, if somebody bought a bagel, we might give them a dollar off on a smoothie. UNIDENTIFIED: Sure. So we might

capitalize on the bagel side, but now were going

person who constructed your PowerPoint in being astute to the branding of Pensacola airport, the bullet points that you had in your PowerPoint that had the branding in Pensacola airport. So that

was a good move right there, and that kind of segues into my next question. In keeping your theme of kind of localizing Pensacola-my question is to the chef with Corona-is there some opportunity to put like a specialty dish thats kind of homegrown with Pensacola, as people are visiting, like having a shrimp and grits or something like that within

UNIDENTIFIED: MR. JASA:

-or a Bushwacker?

-plenty of opportunity for

Not only do we usually have one page thats

just daily specials, which we can standardize or we can tweak as we need, it wouldnt be a problem to take that direction all the way and also to utilize local vendors, local products as theyre available, as long as theyre qualified to deliver to the airport; but if theres-hey, we get a request in the suggestion box, Can we have a homegrown dish with a little bit of Spoke cheddar grits?UNIDENTIFIED: MR. JASA: Sure.

-thats not a problem. My last question is,

Just something for the

restaurant side, specifically Corona Beach House, who is your major food purveyor? Sysco? U.S. Foods? PFG? MR. JASA: Well, thats something that Do you buy from

we have a national contract with U.S. Food Service for OHM. Baltimore. We have establishments in St. Louis and So we would probably just bring in the

guesstimation number between the alcohol and the whole restaurant. We dont think the food cost is

going to be-its going to be a range of 24 to 28 percent, no higher than that. MR. HUNTER: Well, see, the reason I

ask that is because your food cost determines your quality of your food and your quantity of your food. MR. MILAN PATEL: MR. HUNTER: Uh-huh.
