per advertiser per public event. The University would have the right to reject the vendor's use of any or all advertisers and/or advertising copy it deemed inappropriate. No other advertising would be allowed on the physical property within the seating/playing area during the ten-year period, except as is necessary for concessionaires to merchandise their products adequately. If within sixty days of the award of the contract the vendor should be unable to secure commitments from advertisers sufficient to underwrite the vendor's cost, the contract would be voided in the absence of mutual agreement for an extension. Acceptable bid proposals were received from American Sign & Indicator Corporation, Spokane, Washington; White Way Sign & Maintenance Company, Chicago; and Daktronics, Inc., Brookings, South Dakota. Four other firms which were solicited did not respond. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. The American Sign and Indicator Corporation's bid on Print # 3-763ASI under which it would pay the University an annual amount of $3,000 and provide 1,000 replacement lamps at no charge in addition to furnishing and installing the scoreboard and providing maintenance for ten years at no cost is considered the most advantageous to the University. (The annual payment and lamp replacement offers were provided for in the invitation to bid as "tie-breakers" in the event that two or more acceptable "no charge" offers were made.) The executive vice president and the chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus have recommended that a contract with the American Sign & Indicator Corporation to provide the Print #3-763ASI scoreboard be approved on the terms outlined above.
