tion. As of this date, all of the members of the association except the University of Illinois have granted the association the advances it has requested. T h e chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize the $20,000 payment for this project. Funds are available from nonappropriated funds in the FY 1980 operating budget of the College of Medicine at the Medical Center campus. The vice president for administration concurs. I recommend approval. Agreement for Restaurant and Other Services, W i l l a r d Airport Administration Building (.21) During the initial planning for expansion and rehabilitation of the University of Illinois-Willard Airport Administration Building, consideration was given to including a public restaurant in the building. A survey was made of restaurant operations in similar airports throughout the state, resulting in the conclusion that public food service at Willard Airport is economically feasible and a desirable public service. Proposals were requested through public advertisement for equipping and operating a restaurant facility. A proposed agreement now has been developed with the sole responder, Constantinos Valkanos, doing business as "Willard Restaurant and Lounge, Inc.," under which he would be the only operator of a restaurant, cocktail lounge, gift shop, and public vending machines in the Administration Building. The term of the agreement would be from October 1, 1979, through September 30, 1984, and the agreement could be renewed at the option of the operator, for two additional successive five-year periods. T h e agreement could be terminated by the University should the operator fail to perform satisfactorily in accordance with its terms. The annual space rental rate specified would be $12,300, beginning January 1, 1980, and payable in monthly installments thereafter and would be subject to revision annually based on actual costs experienced by the University in providing ongoing building maintenance, heat, electricity, water, and sewage service to the Administration Building. In addition, the operator would pay the University 6 percent of annual gross receipts on receipts in excess of $300,000 and 7 percent of annual gross receipts on receipts in excess of $400,000. The operator would provide and install all necessary equipment, furniture, carpeting, and decoration in conformity with University standards. The chancellor at the Urbana campus and the vice president for administration have recommended that the contract be awarded as described above. I concur. Employment of Consultant for Data Processing Requirements, Physical Plant Department, Chicago Campuses (22) The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrati%'c officers, recommends the award of a contract in an amount not to exceed $30,000 to American Management Systems, Inc., Chicago. The company will provide professional services for the preparation of a Data Processing Requirements Study and Systems Implementation Plan for the Physical Plant Department at the Chicago campuses. Funds for this study have been made available in the Physical Plant operating budget for FY 1980. Work under this contract will be completed by November 30, 1979.
