  1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Regular Meeting Minutes of November 19, 2008. On the motion and second of Commissioner Bristol and Pham respectively, the minutes were unanimously approved as written.

  2. AWARD OPERATING AGREEMENT TO VALET PARKING OPERATOR (ASR 08-001949). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to award valet parking operating agreement to Standard Parking for operation of a valet parking service and authorize the Chair to execute the Operating Agreement. Responding to Commissioner Pham, Director Murphy explained that under the Audited Financial Statements section of the Proposal Comparison, the words “Reviewed only” indicate that statements were reviewed by accountants, whereas audited financial statements are certified for exhaustive review. Kermit Kingsbury of Parking Concepts Incorporated appealed to the Commission to continue this item. Mr. Kingsbury stated that contents of the proposal were misunderstood and were not given the opportunity for clarification. Peter Whittingham of Curt Pringle and Associates, representing Five Star Parking, requested the continuation of this item; Mr. Whittingham stated that Five Star proposed to pay the highest gross revenue percentage, projected the greatest gross revenue over three (3) years, and also noted that the multi-date rate schedule would stimulate revenue. Pamela Brown of Standard Parking highlighted the firm’s qualifications and requested concurrence for approval. Representing Central Parking, Natasha Woods cited higher projected revenue and more budgeted valet hours than the recommended firm. Ms. Woods also noted that Central Parking conducts more airport valet operations than any competitor and has impeccable references. Director Murphy stated that the evaluation process was challenging due to excellent proposals. Director Murphy clarified that firms were not interviewed; Parking Concepts’ peak period scheduling did not reflect airport needs; Standard Parking’s audit program was slightly better than Parking Concepts’; Five Star Parking’s proposed discounted rate for day 4 would generate more valet revenue but would compete with airport lot rates; proposal weighting is appropriate as revenue is not the primary focus; and some firm’s projected revenues were not practical. Commissioner Bristol informed the public of the challenges evaluating multiple quality firms and affirmed the integrity of the evaluation. Responding to Commissioner Pham, Director Murphy clarified that there is communication with Parking Concepts to ensure that the agenda item reflects appropriate language, but would not impact the evaluation.

    On Commissioner Bristol’s motion and Commissioner Pham’s second, Item 2 unanimously passed.

  3. AMENDMENTS TO RENTAL CAR LEASES (ASR 08-002352). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to approve Lease Amendments for six On-Airport Rental Car Concession Leases extending the lease terms through June 30, 2012.

    On Commissioner Bristol’s motion and Commissioner Blythe’s second, Item 3 unanimously passed.

  4. APPROVE CONTRACT WITH JBT AERO TECH (ASR 08-002360). Airport Director requests Airport Commission concurrence with the Recommended Board Action to issue Contract N1000010523 with John Bean Technologies Corporation-JBT Aero Tech Services for Passenger Loading Bridge, Baggage Carousels, and Baggage Conveyor System maintenance services. Responding to Commissioner Blythe, Director Murphy stated that although cost is an important aspect, the company’s ability to complete the work is critical. Responding to Commissioner Bristol, Director Murphy stated 2011 and 2012 year costs are not included and reevaluation will be necessary.

    On Commissioner Bristol’s motion and Commissioner Pham’s second, Item 4 unanimously passed.
