PARKING & CONCIERGE SERVICES ATTENDANT REQUIREMENTS
Given the possibility of theft and pilferage that accompanies any merchandising operation, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) rental agreement contains general language that indemnifies the facility from any claims for theft or damage to exhibitor property. Mandated insurance pertain to third party injury, accidental death and City property damage claims only. The show promoter must submit a copy of show insurance with a minimum liability of one million dollars indicating Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC) as the additional insured. The document should be submitted thirty (30) days in advance of the show opening. The Convention Center is not insured for exhibitor or visitor property damages or losses.
Show Management shall provide each exhibitor with a prospectus designating appropriate times for set-up, show hours and move- out. The prospectus should specifically disclose the terms of the exhibitor’s agreement, including a statement regarding liability for theft and/or damage to exhibitor property. A copy of the exhibitor’s prospectus shall be forwarded to the Myrtle Beach Convention Center (MBCC)’s Event Coordinator prior to distribution.
The Show Management shall employ Parking & Concierge Services Personnel normally employed by the Convention Center. The particular size and type of Convention Services force shall be determined by the Convention Center management. Convention Services will be required for move-in and move-out. Designated points of entry or exit will be guarded according to the amount and location of space reserved. Convention Services will inspect all articles entering or leaving the facility, and no worker or exhibitor will be admitted without a badge.
In all matters related to the Parking & Concierge Services Personnel, the lessee shall deal directly with the Convention Services Manager, not the Parking & Concierge Services Personnel.
