AWARD TAXICAB OPERATING AGREEMENT (ASR 08-001990). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to award a Taxicab Operating Agreement to John Wayne Airport Yellow Cab for taxicab service at John Wayne Airport. Director Murphy stated that a request for proposal process was used with seven (7) specific areas of criteria. A committee of seven (7) members was formed with five (5) airport personnel and two (2) non-personnel. The unanimous decision was to select John Wayne Airport Yellow Cab, with A White & Yellow Taxi as the second selection and American Ground Transportation as the third. William Gray of A White and Yellow Taxi in Santa Ana addressed the Commission to protest against the selection, stating that results were skewed and a negative slant was used in grading. Mr. Gray requested Commission consideration to review scoring, noting alternative fuel and fleet plans. Tim Conlon of John Wayne Airport Yellow Cab in Santa Ana addressed the Commission and stated that scoring reflected the proposals and made himself available for questions. Larry Slagle of John Wayne Airport Yellow Cab in Santa Ana stated his firm’s commitment to natural gas use. Responding to Commissioner Pham, Director Murphy stated that the issue of alternative fuels arose and an addenda was sent to all potential proposers to include the use of super ultra low emission vehicles (SULEV) if they so chose. In addition, Director Murphy stated that all committee members were in agreement with the ranking of firms with no great anomalies. Commissioner Bristol addressed Mr. Gray stating that the alternative fuel issue weighed as 10% of scoring and was insufficient to change overall rankings, to which Mr. Gray responded that this scoring section was just an example of bias against his firm. Responding to Commissioner Pham, Director Murphy confirmed that the committee considered John Wayne Airport Yellow Cab’s combined working capital with assets three (3) times greater than liabilities when scoring the financial viability section, a significant difference from the other two firms that showed little or no working capital. Commissioner Bristol expressed the importance of financial strength in the current marketplace.
