Item 9E - MemoM E M O R A N D U M
March 21, 2023
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Daniel Cortez, Director of Economic Development & Tourism
Subject: Item 9E: Approve the holiday lighting contract with Christmas By Zenith in
an amount not to exceed $253,000
Action
Requested: Approve the holiday lighting contract with Christmas By Zenith in an amount not
to exceed $253,000.
Background
Information: Since the completion of Town Square in 1999, the City has contracted holiday
decorations for Southlake Town Square, for both public and private areas.
These areas also include Southlake DPS Headquarters and The Marq
Southlake.
The City of Southlake and Kite Realty (formerly Retail Properties of America,
RPAI) issued an RFP together to establish one contract for all holiday
decorations in Town Square in January of 2023. This process provides a
consistent and professional look for Christmas decorations in Town Square.
Five (5) bids were received and reviewed and Christmas By Zenith was
selected by the bid review panel made up of City of Southlake and Kite Realty
employees. Based on Christmas By Zenith’s ability to provide the services
requested, low bid price, and their experience, the City and Kite Realty
recommend the holiday lighting contract be awarded to Christmas By Zenith.
The contract is for three (3) years with the option to renew annually for an
additional two (2) years. The approval of this agreement would represent the
first of five-year renewals.
The total cost for the first year (FY 2024) of the agreement is $253,000. Since
Kite Realty also participates in this agreement, they are responsible for
reimbursing the City for their portion of the services which amounts to
$132,000. This brings total City expenditures for FY 2024 (Year 1) to $121,000.
The new agreement with Christmas By Zenith represents a 42% increase from
the prior agreement which was $84,772 annually (not including the $78,600
reimbursed by Kite Realty). The previous agreement was first entered into in
2017 and has not had any price increases since. Over the years, the quality of
the decorations and lighting has deteriorated necessitating the need for new
lighting and décor. Some of the modifications to this new agreement are listed
below:
•All lighting and decorations provided are brand new commercial grade
products and not previously used for any other display.
•Any decorations, lights and/or products provided by the vendor which show
wear and/or deterioration during the initial contract term and any contract
Item 9E
renewals shall be replaced with new commercial grade products at the
vendor’s expense.
• The T-Mobile building has been added to Area 'B'.
• The color palette for The Marq has been modified to gold, silver and
champagne.
• Vendor may start lighting installation on or after October 1 of each contract
year. Greenery and decoration installation may start on or after November 1
of each contract year, or as agreed to in advance with vendor and City/Kite.
Approval of the first year of the agreement will provide lighting and decorations
that are extremely popular with citizens and visitors and will provide a festive
and aesthetically pleasing backdrop for the holiday shopping season and
holiday events at Town Square and other City facilities.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for City holiday decorations and installation services in the amount of
$91,000 will be proposed in the FY 2024 Hotel Occupancy Tax budget and
$30,000 in the FY 2024 CEDC budget for The Marq Southlake.
For reference purposes, the total cost for all five years of the agreement is
$1,129,500. The breakdown of costs is shown below:
Area Cost
City Areas (Area A) for initial 36 months $363,000 ($121,000 annually)
City Areas (Area A) for annual renewal (2 total) $91,800
Kite Realty Areas (Area B) for initial 36 months $396,000 ($132,000 annually)
Kite Realty Areas (Area B) for annual renewal (2 total) $93,450
Total Cost for 5 Years $1,129,500
* Areas are defined in the attached agreement

innovative "property -friendly" fasteners and adhesives to protect your property from damage.
Christmas by Zenith has a Full OSHA Safety Program for all our Installers.
Light Smart Maintenance Program: We check and maintain your decorations throughout the

Procedure; Organizes, Protects and Packages all of your decorations to assure next season your design
shines just as bright.
Convenient Storage Service: Don't use your valuable storage space —we store all of your

company envisioned. Christmas by Zenith is known for its design and installation, but even more so, for
our Light Smart Maintenance Program. A non -maintained display undercuts the message your company
is trying to convey. Our Light Smart Maintenance Program is built around your needs. We can monitor
your project frequently as you require. What you need is what you get. Christmas is a time to be
"HAPPY" and Christmas by Zenith can deliver "HAPPY."
