meet the demands of customers.
B. The Concessionaire shall provide all merchandise and display fixtures, stock, supplies
and inventory for the shop.
II. Merchandise Quality, Price Control. Concessionaire acknowledges the desire and obligation
of City to provide the public high quality merchandise and a high level of public service.
Therefore, Concessionaire agrees to offer for sale from the pro shop only high quality
merchandise at prices not to exceed the prices customarily charged for similar merchandise
in high quality Fort Collins area operations. If, in the opinion of the City, the selection of items
offered is inadequate, if the merchandise is not of high quality, if any of the prices, charges and rates are excessive, or if any of the items are found to be objectionable for display and/or
sale in a public facility, a representative of the City shall meet and confer with Concessionaire
regarding such matters, but Concessionaire acknowledges that the City's determination as to
same shall be conclusive. Failure of Concessionaire to correct, rectify or modify its prices or
quality within five (5) days of being advised in writing to do so shall be cause for default.
Concessionaire shall not offer for sale gift certificates, vouchers, punch cards, or other similar
services, except to the extent the same are restricted and limited in duration to one year or less.
III. Use of the Pro Shop. The Concessionaire shall use any and all parts of the pro shop for the

such repairs, and the City has failed to commence and complete said repairs within a
reasonable period of time following receipt of the notification.
B. The Concessionaire shall be liable for and shall reimburse the City for the cost of any
repairs or damage caused by any act or negligence of the Concessionaire or its agents or
employees.
C. The Concessionaire shall secure the retail pro shop area and shall provide janitorial
services to that area, keeping it clean and in good sanitary condition as required by the
ordinances, regulations and statutes of the City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer and

RFP 9870 Tennis Concessionaire Page 34 of 38
whether said breakage or stoppage results from freezing or otherwise.
E. The Concessionaire shall not permit nor suffer the pro shop or the walls thereof to be
endangered by overloading nor permit it to be used for any purpose which would render
the insurance thereon void or insurance risks more hazardous without prior written
consent of the City, which consent may be conditioned upon the Concessionaire obtaining
additional specific insurance coverage for such more hazardous risks.
V. Alterations and Im provements.
A. All alterations, additions, improvements or changes to the pro shop by the Concessionaire
subsequent to the commencement of the term shall be subject to the prior written approval
of the City.
B. The City reserves the right, from time to time (without invalidating or modifying this
Agreement), to make alterations, changes and additions to the land and improvements of
which the pro shop forms a part.
C. The Concessionaire hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the City harmless from all
liens, claims or charges on account of any alterations, additions, improvements or
changes to the pro shop by Concessionaire.
D. At the end of the term of this Agreement, all fixtures, equipment, additions and alterations,
except trade fixtures installed by the Concessionaire, shall be and remain the property of
the City. Provided, however, the City shall have the option to require the Concessionaire to remove any or all such fixtures, equipment, additions and alterations and restore the
pro shop to the condition that existed immediately prior to such change and installation,
normal wear and tear excepted, all at the Concessionaire's cost and expense. All such
