LIMOUSINE SERVICE AT T H E UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOISWILLARD AIRPORT, SAVOY (13) Limousine service has been provided under contract at the University of Illinois-Willard Airport since January 1, 19S9. Initially, the volume of air traffic was limited. Therefore, only a minimal service was provided in conjunction with an exclusive car rental franchise. Early in 1967, the exclusive franchise was cancelled because of inadequate services and the rapidly changing demand for new airport terminal services. The car rental services are now being provided on a negotiated basis by three franchisees representing three major nationwide car rental agencies. An interim contract for limousine service was negotiated with a local livery service until new criteria for airport limousine service were developed. Three sealed bid proposals, received as a result of advertisements and direct solicitation for limousine service, could not be equitably evaluated; therefore, the University rejected all proposals and negotiated individually with the three companies to obtain the best agreement for providing exclusive limousine service. The following is a schedule of the rates negotiated and the projected and anticipated income: , Annual Income Per Month Minim m Mini-Swallow Lines, Inc., « Options Estimated (3) Champaign $375 or 7y£ per cent of gross (1) $5 500 00 Earl Huffman, Inc., doing business as A-l Limousine Service, Champaign $370 or 8 per cent of gross None $4 400 00 Tri-State Coach Lines, Inc., Franklin P a r k $200 or 5 per cent of gross (2) $2 750 00 (1) Option to receive 10 per cent of gross income (with no minimum) at any time after the start of contract-—the "gross income" will include all gross income received for any service provided by the franchisee at the airport (limousine, charter trips, baggage delivery fees, and freight). (2) $200 per month minimum first year. $350 per month minimum second, third, fourth, and fifth years or 5 per cent of gross limousine and charter trips only. (3) Based on a franchisee estimated gross income of $55,000 annually. In addition to rates, negotiations were conducted as to insurance coverages, operational experience and equipment, safety and public acceptability. In the opinion of the Director of the Institute of Aviation, the Director of Purchasing, and the Vice-President and Comptroller, the best proposal is that submitted by the Illini-Swallow Coach Lines, Inc., Champaign. Therefore, it is recommended that the Board of Trustees authorize a contract with the Illini-Swallow Coach Lines, Inc., for a period of five years starting
