THE GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

The GFLCVB is requesting authorization for the County Administrator to approve and execute the Second Amendment to the Agreement between Broward County and TNT Promotions, Inc., d/b/a Sharp Marketing, to extend the term of the Agreement for a maximum of nine months, for the period April 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018.

The initial term of the Agreement was from February 12, 2013, through September 30, 2015. The agreement included two, one-year renewal options that have been exercised, with the final renewal option ending on September 30, 2017. 

On August 22, 2017, the Board approved the First Amendment, extending the Agreement for six months through March 31, 2018.

The Second Amendment covers the nine-month extension from April 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018, for the amount of $300,000. This amount increases the overall total contract value from $2,100,000 to $2,400,000.

This extension will allow for the continued manufacturing, purchasing, distribution, sales and marketing of logo on apparel and merchandise and management of the online store for Broward County agencies and the GFLCVB. It also allows for additional time to complete the Request for Proposal (RFP) process and negotiate and execute a new contract. The RFP's solicitation will be presented to the Board for review and approval.
