Dear Republican Nat ional Commit tee : We are writing to enthusiastically recommend our hometown of Dallas, Texas to host the 2016 Republican National Convention, and to pledge our support for a successful, organized and well-funded convention. Dallas of 2014 is a world-class city, featuring a strong and diverse economy and population, a vibrant arts and culture scene, great restaurants, and state-of-the-art arenas and venues to support the 2016 Republican National Convention. Dallas is also famous for our philanthropic and political giving. In 2012, Dallas area citizens donated more than $48 million to GOP candidates, making us one of the top contributor communities in the nation. Our civic spirit and philanthropy is even bigger. In recent years, the Dallas community raised hundreds of millions in private funds to build the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the Meyerson Symphony Hall, The Perot Museum of Nature and Science, and the Nasher Sculpture Garden. Even the American Film Institute now calls Dallas home. President Ronald Reagan launched his re-election landslide in Dallas, opening his 1984 nomination speech with, In 75 days, I hope we enjoy a victory that is the size of the heart of Texas. Nancy and I extend our deep thanks to the Lone Star State and the Big D the city of Dallas for all their warmth and hospitality. A few other reasons why the RNC should look to Dallas, Texas for a successful 2016 Convention:
n Dallas central U.S. location is at the intersection of three interstate highways (I-35, I-20 and I-45), and easily accessible
The Honorable Enid Mickelsen Chairwoman 2016 Republican National Convention Site Selection Committee Washington, D.C. 20003
Dear Represent at ive Mickelsen : Dallas is changing. Todays Dallas is an economic powerhouse, a world-class city, featuring world-class infrastructure, hotels, restaurants and dramatic new culture and arts spaces. Texas is a successful red state and home to the strongest economy in the nation. We are proof of what limited government, conservative values and American entrepreneurship can achieve for individuals and families. Dallas also reflects the diversity of our nation, with prominent Latino, African-American and Asian communities and civic pride. Todays Dallas is a center of finance, technology and energy. In recent years, new sports and entertainment venues, art museums, and symphony halls have been built, mostly with private dollars. Dallas now has the largest contiguous urban arts district in the nation. Dallas is the absolute right place for the 2016 Republican National Convention. I am confident that Dallas RNC fundraising effort will achieve or exceed every goal. Dallas is home to many of our nations most philanthropic individuals and businesses, as well as prolific Republican donors. Located in the middle of our great nation, Dallas is easily accessible through two major commercial airports, three major interstate highways and even rail.
from three major airports (DFW, Love Field and Alliance airport).
n Dallas area hospitality, logistics and security infrastructure is big and experienced, including a recent Super Bowl, NCAA
Final Four, and the annual State Fair of Texas, which attracts 350,000 people over 24 days.
n Dallas is home to world-class venues, including the state-of-the-art American Airlines Center and the Kay Bailey
Hutchison Convention Center.

n Dallas is diverse, with 42% Hispanic, 28% Anglo and 25% African American residents according to the U.S. Census
Bureau. The Dallas Independent School District reports approximately 70 different languages spoken in student homes.
n Dallas is critical to Texass Red State economic success. Forbes named Dallas as one of our nations top Metro Areas
With The Most Economic Momentum Going Into 2014, citing our 9.3% GDP growth and 10.2% population gain between 2007-2012. We are confident that Dallas can do the 2016 Republican National Convention in a BIG way. We have the venues, hospitality, transportation, security, philanthropy and ability to rally our community with both Republican and Democratic support to host a successful, safe and enjoyable convention for your delegates and dignitaries. Our message to the RNC is Come Back to the Big D. We are bigger and better than ever. We stand ready to assist in any way.
Dallas has the close-in hotel space, venues, transportation, security, communications and convention infrastructure needed to host a successful 2016 Republican National Convention. The State of Texas stands ready to help. As Governor of Texas, and a proud Republican, I add my voice to the many Texans supporting Dallas bid for the 2016 Republican National Convention.

Sincerely,

Q UES T ION
Provide a preliminary budget jointly developed by the City and Host Committee, and describe the allocation of costs between the City and the Host Committee.
QUESTION
Describe the sources of funding for the facilities and services to be provided by the City and/or Host Committee pursuant to the basic requirements, including the nature of any governmental or legislative actions required to authorize such funding.
The City of Dallas, the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Host Committee are in the process of fully identifying and creating the budget for the 2016 RNC. However, we understand the nancial burden to create a world-class RNC Convention is $60M. As you may know, Dallas has a strong history of civic and political giving and philanthropy. For example, many of the new Dallas museums and arts venues were built using privately raised dollars. As previously stated in Question #5 regarding the Host Committee structure, the Committee is fully committed to raising the funds necessary to offset all appropriate convention costs. In addition, there are too many variables and questions at this time that require COA solutions and answers based on how our destination and venues can best be customized to meet the needs of the 2016 RNC. Our nancial commitment is to fully support the cost and expense of the following areas as identied in the 2016 Republican National Convention RFP for Basic Requirements for Convention Facilities and Services. Our understanding of our nancial commitment, and therefore pending budget, is identied to the right.
RFP Sect ion IV. A .B. 1- 8 Lease of Main Convention Venue Facility
n Main Convention Area (18,000 persons) n Ancillary Convention Function Rooms (75,000 Sq. Ft.) n Convention Office Space (40,000 Sq. Ft.) n Media Work Space (300,000 Sq. Ft.) n Parking Facilities (2,000 Cars and 300 buses) n Construction Area (30,000 Sq. Ft.)
RFP Sect ion IV.C.3 Parking Facilities as specified in the RFP
The City of Dallas and/or the Host Committee may utilize the following funding sources (not necessarily all) for the facilities and services provided:
1.
The States Major Events Trust Fund applies local and state gains from sales and use, auto rental, hotel and alcoholic beverage taxes generated over a 12-month period from certain major sporting championships or events to pay costs incurred from hosting the event. Large and well-attended events have previously been funded, including the 2004 Super Bowl and the 2014 NCAA Mens Final Four basketball championships. The trust fund can be used to pay costs related to preparing for or conducting the event, including equipment, or to pay principal and interest on notes used to build or improve facilities. One hundred percent of allowable expenses can be funded provided sufficient tax receipts are deposited in the trust fund. The Republican National Convention is an approved event eligible for the Major Event Trust Fund. The funds are available to the host city and disbursable after the conclusion of the event once all documentation has been received and audited. http://texasahead.org/tax_programs/event_fund/metf.php
3.
In the past, we also created a hotel room night assessment (rebate) that would generate additional funding primarily utilized to offset large components of convention expense. In the Dallas community, we often refer to this as the Strategic Dallas Alliance (SDA).

We are confident in our ability to raise a significant portion of the required funds through this channel.

In support of Dallas effort to be a top 5 destination for conventions and tourism, the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District (DTPID) went into effect in August 2012. The District is made up of hotel properties with 100 or more hotel rooms located in the city limits of Dallas. These properties pay a 2% assessment on their occupied rooms for the purpose of generating funds to market and promote Dallas as a convention and tourism destination. The initial term for the DTPID is five years and will bring in $10 million per year in support of its mission. A board of directors consisting of participating DTPID hoteliers direct the use of all funds generated. The City of Dallas authorized the creation of the District and must annually approve a budget. The board has contracted with the City to collect the funds and with the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau to administer the programs and use of funds. http://www.dtpid.com

Q UES T ION
Describe the sources of funding for the facilities and services to be provided by the Host Committee pursuant to the Basic Requirements.
QUESTION
Describe the fundraising plan, including a timetable for public and private monies raised, as outlined in the Basic Requirements.
A signicant portion of the Host Committee charter will be fundraising from the private community. Dallas has a strong history of civic and political giving and philanthropy. The Committee will be responsible for the aggressive solicitation of private funds from the local, regional, state and as appropriate, international sources. We are condent in our ability to raise a signicant portion of the required funds through this channel.
Dallas is excited to host the Republican National Convention in 2016 and, based on the commitment level of the city and those on the host committee, is well-positioned to accommodate the Conventions needs from a logistical, experiential and nancial perspective. As stated in previous questions, Dallas and the host committee are prepared to raise the funds necessary to meet the RFP requirements and to ensure a successful convention. Specically, funds will be raised from the sources discussed in Questions #7 and #8 to secure the $60 million estimated budget. Based on previous fundraising activities, it is estimated that certain funds would become immediately available while other funds would be raised up until the actual convention. In addition to cash contributions, it is expected that local support for the event could lead to signicant discounts and in-kind contributions to offset expenses associated with hosting.
Once Dallas has been selected as the host city, $1 million in seed money could become immediately available from the local hospitality community. These funds would allow the host committee to hire professional staff to start the fund raising effort in earnest. They would also allow the host committee to partner with a local bank to secure the necessary letter of credit. Within the first year of operation it is expected that the host committee could raise approximately $3 million from private sources (local individual and corporate contributions as explained in Question #8). In the second year of operation, it is expected that the host committee could raise an additional $9 million from private sources. At this time the host committee could also secure approval from the state for upwards of $17 million from the Major Event Trust Fund. In the final 12 months leading up to the convention, the host committee would leverage the build up to secure the remaining $30 million from private sources. While the budget and timetable for fundraising are estimated, we are confident that Dallas and the host committee can meet or exceed the requirements of this RFP. Dallas is a premier leisure and meetings destination; it has been at the forefront of economic recovery for the county over the past several years; and the entrepreneurial spirit of its leadership can only lead to success.

The roof structure is supported on four corners, but it spans 150,000 square feet, and the columns of the roof are tied together with steel rods to resist the force generated by the weight of the roof. The arena has been graced with a number of awards. The exterior of the building is brick, limestone and granite. There are four entrances into the building, and an outdoor balcony on both the north and south ends. the platinum level is open to a breathtaking view of downtown Dallas. Closer to the Action The interior includes sophisticated retractable seating, public art and a state-of-the-art technological arena. The retractable seating brings the bowl in closer to the action, allowing fans a more intimate experience and exceptional sight lines. Recently, the American Airlines Center upgraded the fan experience with a 1080 HD center scoreboard and multi-zone special effects audio system. Inside of the arena, the concourses are lined with crown molding. There are eight (8) terazzo mosaics (4 hockey & 4 basketball) designed by world-renowned artist David Griggs. The mosaics feature Zinc Inlays and can be seen from all ve levels in each of the arena rotundas. While the ceiling depicts the world continents, another visually stunning location is the American Airlines Lobby. A collection of aircraft models from every aircraft over the history of American Airlines hangs from the ceiling. Materials to build the models came from the actual material used in the construction of the original aircraft. A DC-3 model plane is one of the original in the eet, bought from the Army Air Corp in 1945 for about $37,000. These models cost in excess of $64,000 to build. AT&T Plaza On the south side of the Center is the AT&T Plaza. It is a popular gathering place that is home to an outdoor, high-denition video screen and hosts many other spectacular outdoor events and entertainment. International artist Athena Tacha designed the fountains as a centerpiece of the plaza walkway, as they celebrate the vitality of city life in Dallas. The fountains consist of spinning starburst patterns that interlock with each other producing an artistic water display.

While the AAC has many advantages with respect to being a world-class arena with extensive functionality and design, the extensive RNC space requirements (as outlined in the basic requirements) could possibly require the deployment of temporary structures to accommodate the Ancillary Convention Rooms (75,000 square feet).
If a temporary structure at AAC is deemed non-exceptable, a secondary option identified is the Hilton Anatole hotel located only 1.35 miles from the American Airlines Center. This option features more than 300,000 square feet of newly renovated meeting space, including 11 ballrooms and 79 meeting rooms.
As part of our hotel-wide renovation, our meeting spaces have been updated with state-of-the-art presentation technologies, carpet, furnishings and artwork. A new Executive Lounge with panoramic views of the Dallas skyline was added. The 45-acre campus including our outdoor Anatole Sculpture Park gives attendees plenty of room to celebrate a wedding, network with peers or reect on the business at hand. Whether large or small, business or pleasure, we provide the perfect venue for any event.

The American Airlines Center arena PA system is comprised of 60 JBL VLA901 Cabinets. Congured in 6 columns of 10 cabinets each, the bottom of each cabinet is approximately 75 feet off the AAC oor, and covers all of the seating in the lower bowl, the suites, and the rst rows of the upper bowl. Sound coverage for the remaining areas of the upper bowl is segmented into 34 separate delay zones. Four columns of subwoofers can be found behind the corner arrays and are set in a cardoid pattern to help steer the low frequencies off the arena oor to allow for higher SPL levels during hockey and basketball, without impacting the requirements of television broadcasters. There are also Control 26 ceiling speakers found in many of the arena suites to help re-enforce the speech frequencies for patrons enjoying things from luxury boxes.
Driving the new system is a mixture of Crown MA5000I and MA9000I, as well as the new DCI series ampliers. System processing is handled by a BSS audio network with all software written and controlled by AAC engineering staff, utilizing both the BSS Blu-link and AVB transport protocols. Control for the new system is achieved through a private Ethernet network that is also exclusively controlled by AAC engineering staff. While no exact tests have been run, we can easily achieve SPL of 110-115 (c weight slow) depending on the musical content driving the system at the time. One additional feature of note as it pertains to the PA is not found in the technology, but in the construction of the room as during the initial construction of the building a great deal of attention was paid to the acoustics of the main arena bowl, resulting in sound that does not have the reverberation and echo that is found in many other venues of this type.

American Airlines Center owns and manages the 2,000 space Audi Park Garage located on the East side of the venue. In addition, a new 1,100 space garage is currently being constructed on the West side of the venue which will be fully managed by the venue.
While the AAC has many advantages with respect to being a world-class arena with extensive functionality and design, the extensive RNC space requirements (as outlined in the basic requirements) could possibly require the deployment of temporary structures to accommodate the Media Work Space (300,000 square feet), and Ancillary Convention Rooms (75,000 square feet). The Host Committee will work closely with the RNC COA on determining the appropriate temporary structures for these specific requirements. We have proven experience in coordinating air-conditioned tents, production trailers and temporary trailer work space to accommodate media and special event needs. The AAC has several existing and newly built garages that could be used as the foundation and infrastructure for this temporary space. The graphics indicate the accommodation of the required 2,000 parking spaces in the garage and how we might begin to use the surface lots to accommodate the additional space requirements.

Light Rail Service DART would operate regular rail service throughout the period. The system that will be in place for the 2016 event includes four primary lines:
n
Bus Service DART would operate all regular bus services on regular schedules throughout the event. The DART bus network includes 135 routes, many offering convenient connections to rail services. One key route serving both the Convention Center and American Airlines Center is the D-Link service, a Monday-Saturday shuttle service connecting both locations with a range of destinations in Downtown and surrounding areas. Another important route is Route 524, DARTs primary service to Love Field for airline passengers using that facility. Route 524 buses connect directly to light rail service at Inwood/Love Field Station. In addition to regularly scheduled bus service, DART would make several enhancements to accommodate heavy passenger activity:

Parking facilities will park more than 2,000 cars and more than 300 buses. City of Dallas, preferred transportation companies, and the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau will work together to supply any additional information for a specified period for limited number of automobiles. Prior to the Convention, shuttles can be provided to and from the designated hotels and leased facilities. We would work with you using schedules and recommended frequencies to design the best transportation system. We will be able to provide up to 350 buses with specified requirements. The buses will be 50 percent local and 50 percent from outside of the DFW area. Upon award of the contract, we will require a 50 percent deposit made with the estimated charges. The final amount will be due 30 days prior to the event. We can provide the appropriate contracts and staffing assurances as necessary.
Web based, tablet and smart phone APPS allowing for global management of transportation changes, messaging and communications in real time

DART
As a federally funded public transportation provider, DART bus operations are subject to Federal Charter regulations that govern deployment of bus service. DART is required to give precedence to private transportation operators for special movements that might be considered charter services. For this reason, many of the primary transportation services for this event would be provided by privately-operated shuttle buses connecting event venues and major hotels, and supplemented by regular DART rail and bus infrastructure in key areas of demand. DART would leverage its regional bus and rail infrastructure to support this event. Key elements include light rail, commuter rail and bus service.
Downtown Dallas. In addition to regularly scheduled light rail service, DART would make a series of enhancements to accommodate heavy passenger activity:
n

Each train would operate with the maximum complement of cars (2 or 3, depending upon line) We would offer supplemental midday train service in the central area, serving the Convention venue Extra trains positioned at DFW Airport for loads of travelers using the Orange Line Light rail services would be extended for an additional hour, ending after 1am
Commuter Rail Service DART and the Fort Worth T jointly operate the Trinity Railway Express (TRE), a commuter rail line that connects downtown Dallas with downtown Fort Worth and serves a number of intermediate stops. The TRE serves Victory Station directly adjacent to AAC, and customers can reach Convention Center Station by transferring to light rail service at Union Station.

Conrm the legal power and authority of the City and/or Host Committee to provide indemnication specied in Section VI(E)(4) of the Basic Requirements.
The City of Dallas has no union wage scales applicable to the construction or service trades.
The City of Dallas is prohibited under Article XI, section of the Texas Constitution from incurring debt for any purpose unless provision is made, at the time of creating such debt, for levying and collecting a sufcient tax to pay the interest thereon and provide for at least two percent (2%) as a sinking fund. To the extent that an indemnication clause (or a hold and save harmless provision) requires the City to indemnify the COA from acts of the COA, such a provision creates a debt within the meaning of the Texas Constitution and is therefore an obligation that the City may not undertake without also providing for a dedicated tax and a sinking funds.

Based on our past experiences, most of the hotels used for special events are within a one-mile radius of Downtown Dallas. Some of the hotels will be within walking distance to the main convention area. Other hotels are within a 2-3 mile radius of Downtown Dallas. The hotels within the one-mile radius of Downtown Dallas are located on, or very close to, a light rail stop. Travel time for these hotels to the convention center area will be 10 minutes or less. For hotels farther out, but near a light rail stop, travel time to the convention center area could range from 10 - 30 minutes. Several hotels in the Stemmons Corridor (immediately northwest of Downtown, including the Hilton Anatole) are not within walking distance of light rail stations, but are served directly by DART Route 49 which serves American Airlines Center and offers connections to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. The following map shows some of the largest hotels in the central area, along with DART light rail, commuter rail, D-Link service, and Route 49.

As a major sporting and music venue, AACs advance bookings tend to be shorter and mid-term term. The calendar is currently set only through late 2014. The 2014 calendar represents Dallas Stars/Dallas Mavericks games through the end of the teams regular seasons. AAC welcomes approximately 2.4 million guests annually and we expect similar numbers for 2015-2017 - with an average of 166 team & third party events.
