SECTION II – PURPOSE OF THE RFP 1. INTENT

It is ASU’s intent to award a contract with the most qualified proposer who best demonstrates its understanding of the expectations/requirements set forth in this solicitation and submits the most creative and financially prudent proposal. ASU challenges all potential proposers to understand ASU’s mission and goals, encompassing leadership in academic excellence and accessibility, research, social embeddedness, academic mission, Sun Devil Athletics, and ASU’s vision for the new 365 Community Union. Proposers should develop a resulting proposal that will be an unambiguous, comprehensive, and unique application of the best relevant food service practices and will demonstrate ability to execute and sustain its commitments.

2. VISION

For the second consecutive year, ASU is the nation’s most innovative school according to U.S. News & World Report rankings. ASU President Michael M. Crow is quoted as saying “We do things differently and we constantly try new approaches”. As the leader in higher education innovation, ASU seeks a food services provider of a similar mindset, seeking to create and lead by example, transforming the market through new ideas, services, products, business models, nutrition, sustainability, technology, brands, and integration of research and education opportunities. Sun Devil Stadium has been the home of the ASU Sun Devils for over 50 years. The stadium was constructed between two small mountain buttes. Sun Devil Stadium has a proud history of being a premier venue for athletic events as well as a destination for world-class entertainment. Renovations are in process to the main concourse level, restroom facilities, concessions, electrical and plumbing upgrades, new club and premium seating, improvements in the lower bowl, modifications to the upper deck, a new videoboard and sound system, and a new student athlete facility. The stadium seats 54,000 spectators. The Coca-Cola Sun Deck has a standing room capacity of 2500, the Legend’s Club has a seat capacity of 252, the Founder’s Club has a seat capacity of 160, the Coach’s Club has a seat capacity of 188, the MidFirst Bank Stadium Club has a seat capacity of 148 and the North Terrace Club has a seating capacity of 270. Phase 3 will see the addition of a 1300 seating capacity club on the 300 level and an interior club space on the 400 level that will accommodate 600 patrons. Sun Devil Athletics serves as the athletics program of the New American University model, Arizona State University. Achieving championship caliber performance through innovation and collaboration is the cornerstone of the Sun Devil Athletics Way. We strive to serve as the model of FBS-level athletics

programs for comprehensive excellence in athletic achievement, academic success, and affinity development. Our mission is to empower Sun Devils to achieve championship performance, while graduating and preparing student-athletes for life after intercollegiate athletics with the highest priority on integrity. Our goals are to: (1) shape student-athletes to be successful academically and athletically and prepare them for life after college, (2) build stronger brand affinity and enhanced reputations for ASU and Sun Devil Athletics, (3) create a championship athletics program, and (4) generate resources and revenue sufficient to ensure long-term sustainable success. In 2014, ASU began the journey of recreating the concept of a football stadium and now we stand to introduce the ASU 365 Community Union. ASU will turn Sun Devil Stadium into a revolutionary 365 day a year Community Union with unlimited possibilities.

This massive and iconic Community Union will set ASU apart as visionaries by converting a football stadium with a 2% utilization rate into a Community Union serving the entire Phoenix metropolitan area. ASU students from all majors and interests will find a place they can embrace in this new front porch for the campus. A Community Union with a 98% utilization that will serve more than 10,000 stakeholders a day, 350+ days a year! As ASU is always focused on our students and our role in supporting public services, the 365 Community Union will contain classroom space, office and advising space for our Tillman Center, ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps), Public Service Academy and Global Sports Institute. The Community Union will also include a new broadcast center and lab for ASU’s award-winning Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. By providing the best facilities to meet the needs of our students, the 365 Community Union will be a place where leaders, makers, and innovators of tomorrow are created. The ASU Community Union will be a place where diversity and community are celebrated. This new Community Union will honor ASU traditions but will also be a place that honors the First Nations peoples who have called our community home for centuries. It will be a place for students, staff, faculty, and community members to honor, eat, play, learn, connect, build relationships, create, and innovate. Strategically located in the heart of the Valley, the ASU Community Union will be a cultural hub for people to converge on campus with programming designed for the entire community, food service as diverse as our student population and activities that will enthrall audiences of all ages. Remaining Construction Phasing. Phase III construction will include the new east sideline beginning on November 27, 2017 and concluding on August 25, 2018 just in time for the 2018 football season. Concessions on the 200 and 400

EXHIBIT A - VALUES BASED STANDARDS FOR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH SIGNIFICANT UNIVERSITY SERVICE PROVIDERS Arizona State University (“ASU” or “University”) is a public institution established under the Arizona Constitution and governed by the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR). ASU is subject to Arizona Board of Regents policy, and applicable federal and State of Arizona rules, regulations and laws. As a public institution, ASU has responsibilities to its stakeholders, including the tax payer citizens of Arizona, the students we educate and the faculty who teach them. As a general guiding business principle and in accordance with the ABOR procurement policy, ASU believes that its business is best conducted in a free market environment where goods and services are obtained through open competition to satisfy specific price performance objectives. ASU also recognizes the obligation it has to the community beyond its institutional boundaries and the opportunity presented by its ability to influence public policy, economic development and business practices. In articulating its vision for “the New American University” we have incorporated design elements that include societal transformation, emphasis on the individual and social embeddedness. Implicit in these design imperatives is the recognition that ASU will make a positive impact on the educational, economic, cultural and societal development of our region. The substance of a university cannot be measured by bricks or mortar or even its financial health but by the quality of people who teach, study, conduct research and provide services in support of the institutional mission, and the contribution they make to our community. ASU seeks to act responsibly in the treatment of its faculty and staff. That includes making reasonable efforts to provide a safe and secure working environment, providing opportunities for growth and development, and compensation and benefit that are competitive with other academic institutions and our local market. Some of the service and support functions that are essential to the daily functioning of the University are provided by outside contractors who perform jobs that are often unrecognized and under appreciated by the people they serve. ASU may not set wage rates for suppliers providing goods or services to the University, nor may ASU engage in any activity in support of a collective bargaining unit or interfere with a contractor’s internal affairs, such as labor and management controversies. ASU may, however, establish a set of principles in support of economic and social opportunity for the employees of service providers that have an ongoing presence on our campuses to guide the procurement of goods and services. We can encourage equal opportunity at all levels of employment and encourage training opportunities for the purpose of improving the quality of life for individual workers, their families, and their neighborhood communities. Therefore, within the laws that govern our business practices, ASU will seek business relationships with companies who work in support of the following principles:

• Promote equal opportunity for all employees in the company • Respect employees’ voluntary freedom of association • Provide a compensation system that is sensitive to a competitive marketplace while enabling

employees to meet basic needs, which include food, housing, health care, transportation and educational opportunity.

• Provide employees opportunities to improve skills in order to raise social and economic well being.

• Provide a safe working environment.

APPLICATION

It is our intent that all contractors providing services to the University make reasonable efforts to implement and adhere to the principles articulated above. The University will formally incorporate these principles in procurement solicitations and the evaluation process for any service contract where:

• The University estimates that the contractor will employ at least 10 service workers whose principal place of work will be at an ASU campus, and

• The term of the agreement is one year or more.

MANDATORY PROVISIONS Contractors responding to solicitations for services that meet these threshold requirements shall be required to adhere to the following Mandatory Provisions as a matter of contract: Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Vendors shall employ individuals on the basis of their ability to do the work required. Vendors shall not subject any person to discrimination in employment, including hiring, salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination, or retirement, on the basis of race, sex, gender, identity, color, religion, citizenship, national origin, ethnic origin, age, disability, marital status, Vietnam-era veteran status or other protected veteran status, newly separated veteran status, special disabled veteran status, sexual orientation, political opinion or organizational membership. Each vendor shall be an equal employment opportunity employer and during the performance of any contract or agreement with the University shall comply, if applicable, with Federal Executive Order 11246, as amended and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Equal employment opportunity includes but is not limited to: recruitment, hiring, promotion, termination, compensation, benefits and transfers. Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining: Vendors shall recognize and respect the rights of employees protected by the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; or such other labor relations law as may be applicable.

59 281801 RFP Rev 05/30/17

Health and Safety: Vendors shall provide a safe and healthful working environment to prevent accidents and injury to health arising out of, linked with, or occurring in the course of work or resulting from the operation of the vendors’ facilities. During the performance of any Agreement, all products, services, use of equipment, working conditions, employee training or licensing requirements, and activities performed by the vendor or the vendor’s subcontractors shall be in full compliance, if applicable, with the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, including but not limited to the environmental safety and health requirements set forth in 29 Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR, and 49 CFR. Forced Labor: Vendors shall not use, or purchase supplies or materials that are produced by using any illegal form of forced labor. Harassment or Abuse: No employee shall be subject to any physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal harassment or abuse. Vendors shall not use or tolerate any form of corporal punishment. Controlled Substances: All vendors must prohibit the use, possession, distribution, and/or sale of illegal drugs while on University owned or leased property.

Notification by vendors to all persons or entities who are employees, officers, subcontractors, consultants, agents, guests, invitees or licensees of vendor (Vendor Parties) of this policy is a condition and requirement of the Contract. Vendor further agrees to enforce this contractual requirement against all Vendor Parties.

PREFERRED PROVISIONS The University may establish reasonable performance objectives for suppliers that are consistent with its values, and may incorporate these objectives when establishing evaluation criteria. Preferential treatment in evaluation and award decisions shall be given to contractors who endeavor to adhere to the following Preferred Provisions: Wages and Benefits: Vendors are encouraged to pay each on-campus employee a wage that is the highest of (a) the legal minimum wage, (b) the prevailing wage for that industry in the state or region, (c) the wage that is comparable to the wage paid by the University for similar types of work or (d) a wage that enables employees to meet basic needs, including food, housing, health care, transportation and educational opportunity. In the interest of Arizona taxpayers, vendors should aspire to provide compensation in

60 281801 RFP Rev 05/30/17

the form of wages and benefits that do not force employees to depend upon publicly funded social services. Environmental Responsibility: Safeguarding the environment for the benefit of all peoples now and in the future is a matter of increasing concern in the academic community as well as in society generally. Vendors shall make every effort to demonstrate environmentally responsible practices and production methods, and meet well-established certification standards. This would include minimization of waste products, use of post-consumer recycled materials, energy efficiency, and the durability, biodegradability and reparability of the products purchases from the vendor by the University.

Employers are encouraged to allow flexibility in work schedules to accommodate those workers who wish to pursue programs of study that may interfere with regular work hours.

Training programs should promote competency in current employee jobs and should seek to provide training in skill sets required for promotion to a higher level position, including English language training programs. Nondiscrimination: Vendors shall not subject any person to discrimination in employment, including, hiring, salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination, or retirement on the basis of the individual’s reproductive or familial circumstances. Vendors shall accommodate the language requirements of their employees to the greatest extent practicable. Grievance Process: Every employee shall be treated with dignity and respect. Conflicts between employees and employers should be reconciled as amicably and transparently as possible, without the use of coercion or intimidation. Employees should have the right to express opinions or report complaints as they see fit without retaliation or the threat of reprisal. Vendors are encouraged to have a process in place whereby employees may register specific complaints about the employment practices of that vendor and, if practicable, to do so in the employee’s primary language. If possible, the complainant’s identity should be confidential.

APPENDIX I – ASU SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

ASU Sustainability Practices Goals 8/22/17

Note: Unless otherwise noted, “by FY 20XX” means achievement of the goal for the 12-month reporting period ending June 30, 20XX. Goal 1 – Climate Positive The goal of a university is not to have the least impact possible, but to have the greatest net positive impact possible.

• Achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY 2025. Interim strategies and goals include:

o Develop and begin to implement a design/construction policy, applicable to new ASU owned buildings, by FY 2018 with the following default requirements: Building Energy Efficiency: All buildings will be designed to achieve a minimum

of one of the following energy efficiency targets. These targets are to be achieved prior to the integration of on-site renewable energy generation.

A 70% reduction in proposed building energy use compared to the baseline building energy use, using the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 performance rating method.

An energy use intensity no greater than 35 kBTU/ft2/yr. • Renewable Energy: Renewable energy generation is to be included on-

site to the extent feasible. Generate or procure an amount of renewable energy sufficient to satisfy at least

50% of ASU’s owned building and infrastructure electrical needs by December 31, 2020.

• Achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 3 emissions by FY 2035 • Develop climate-related education, research and community engagement “handprint” goals

and metrics with a particular focus on social equity by December 31, 2018

Goal 2 – Circular Resources A circular resource system achieves Zero Waste by consciously changing what we bring onto campus and then utilizing and processing resources in a manner that sends them back into the economy for the most productive next use possible.

• Achieve 30% aversion by FY 2025 • Achieve 90% diversion by FY 2025 • Annually increase value of diverted materials in hierarchy of reuse • Annually improve the aversion and re-circulation characteristics of products and services

purchased • Develop purchasing, aversion, and/or diversion goals and metrics that support social equity by

December 31, 2018

Goal 3 – Optimized Water Optimizing ASU’s water use involves applying a systems approach to use the right quantity and quality of water for the right purpose at the right time.

• Achieve 50% reduction in net water imports to university by FY 2022 • Annually improve match of appropriate quality of water to specific needs • Achieve 75% reduction in net effluent exports from university by FY 2022 • Incorporate university research into water/wastewater operations to harvest energy and

nutrients from university effluent by FY 2025

66 281801 RFP Rev 05/30/17

• Incorporate university research into water/wastewater operations to develop campus community health goals, metrics and baselines by FY 2018

Goal 4 – Personal Action Personal Action involves the engagement of members of the ASU community (students, staff and faculty) in individual behavior that supports sustainability goals on campus and in their personal lives.

• Achieve 90 percent sustainability literacy by university community members by FY 2021. • Ensure 100 percent of students graduate with at least one sustainability learning outcome by

FY 2021. • Achieve an average of 75% adoption rate of sustainability behaviors by campus community

members by FY 2021. • Achieve a culture of sustainability within 75% of university community members by FY2021. • Increase student participation in sustainability related community service opportunities to 50%

by FY 2021

Goal 5 – Collaborative Action Collaborative action leverages the power of university departments working together to align missions, policies, processes, programs and activities for consistency with university sustainability goals.

• Annually increase integration of sustainability practices into campus operations and functions. • Earn and retain at least 70% of operations-related points in the AASHE Sustainability Tracking

and Rating System by FY 2019 • Increase ASU campus community participation in cultural competency, diversity, and inclusion

training and events to 50% by FY 2020

Goal 6 – Food Reconnection Fundamental to our health, productivity, and connection with nature is a strong relationship with nutritional food and the knowledge of its sources and impacts on the health of our planet.

• Provide opportunities for exposure to a local, organic gardening environment to all university community members by FY 2021

• Earn and retain at least 50% of the food & dining-related points in the AASHE Sustainability Tracking and Rating System by FY 2020.

• Eliminate food insecurity among ASU community members by FY 2020.

Goal 7 – Social Equity As a New American University measured not by whom we exclude, but rather by whom we include and how they succeed, we must embrace the diversity that brings in order to improve understanding, acceptance and well-being of all campus community members and, thus, broader society.

• See social equity goals woven into the other sustainability goals • TBD – working with social equity and social embeddedness leaders on campus to develop

Goal 8 - Resilience & Regeneration With climate change already impacting our mission, operations and communities we serve, we will adapt not just for resilience in the face of greater future changes, but to regenerate our environment and our surrounding communities.

• Develop a climate change resilience & regeneration assessment for ASU West Campus by December 31, 2017
