Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement Between the City of Bangor and Bangor Airport Food
Services, Inc. (BAFS) to Lease Buildings #266 and #268 for the Purposes of Operating an Airline In-flight
Kitchen at Bangor International Airport (BGR)
This Order authorizes the lease between the City of Bangor and Bangor Airport Food Services, Inc.
(BAFS) for buildings #266 and #268 for the purposes of operating an airline in-flight kitchen at
Bangor International Airport (BGR). Operating an in-flight kitchen in the airport environment is highly
complex given safety and security regulations and the unpredictable traffic flows. There is also a
significant investment in capital equipment required to properly perform services. Due to Bangor’s
modest size, this operation would be very unlikely to generate any interest from national vendors
that provide this type of service at other airports. The airport has been pleased with the service
provided by the current vendor. BAFS has been a proactive business partner in recruiting and
retaining the international transit business and has also made several investments in airport facilities,
per the lease agreement. The rental rate for the in-flight kitchen is $28,190.00 per year. In addition
to a 5 year term, the agreement includes a financial investment by the Lessee. This agreement shall
be in final form as approved by City Legal. This Order supports the Council goals to ensure the
viability and growth of air transit and air transportation to serve Bangor and the greater northern
Maine region through BGR, as well as to promote job creation through attraction and retention of
businesses.

leased premises and may exercise in regard to said premises and should the United States of
America or any agency thereof exercise any such right or rights in or to said premises, the
exercise of such rights shall not be considered to result in a breach by the Lessor of any
covenant or agreement hereunder. In the event that the United States of America or any
agency thereof exercise any such right or rights in or to said premises, and the exercise of such
right or rights makes impractical in the Lessee's sole discretion Lessee's intended use of said

terms, provisions, or conditions on its part to be performed, or observed, and such neglect or
failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Lessor, or if
such covenants, terms, provisions or conditions cannot be performed or observed within said
thirty (30) day period, if Lessee fails to diligently prosecute the curing of such neglect of failure;
or

law;
or
(4) If any assignment shall be made of the property of the Lessee for the benefit of

arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant, and upon entry as aforesaid,
this Lease shall terminate, and the Lessee covenants and agrees to pay and shall
be liable for the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts
equal the several installments of rents and other charges reserved as they
would, under the terms of this Lease, become due if this Lease had not been
terminated, or if the Lessor had not entered or reentered as aforesaid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee's liability shall not exceed the difference,
if any, between the rental which would have been due for such month had there
been no such termination, and the amount being received by Lessor as rent from
occupants of said premises. In order to mitigate Lessee's damages hereunder,
Lessor agrees to make every reasonable effort to secure subsequent Lessees, at
a rental equal to the prevailing local rate for the demised premises.
Upon any termination under this Article, the Lessee shall vacate the premises in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereof and with all due speed; and within thirty (30) days after
such termination, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all sums due from the Lessee to the Lessor

one or more of the following contingencies:
(1) If the Lessee shall default in the performance of any of the conditions and
covenants of this Lease to be kept and observed by it and such default shall not be remedied
within a period of thirty (30) days after written notification by the Lessee to the Lessor of the
existence of such default.
(2) If, at any time during the term of this Lease, or any extensions thereof, the
business volume, in the sole opinion of the Lessee as reasonably demonstrated to the Lessor by
the Lessee is not of such volume as to be economically feasible and profitable, upon the giving
by the Lessee to the Lessor of written notice of termination contained in said notice.
ARTICLE XXII
ATTORNEY'S FEE
The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor a reasonable attorney's fee in the event the Lessor
employs an attorney to collect any rents due hereunder and secures a judgment in connection
with collection of said rent, or legal process is levied upon the interest of the Lessee in this
Lease or in said premises, or in the event Lessee violates any of the terms, conditions or
covenants on the part of notice that it is in violation thereof.

and agreed that no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by either party, shall be
construed as a waiver of any other provisions hereof, and that a waiver at any time of any of
the provisions hereof shall not be construed at any subsequent time as a waiver of the same
