Lots of good work here. Not sure if I get the whole picture.<br>
<br>
The Bombers will be looking at what Bike Winnipeg is actually
providing. They could likely do the whole thing themselves--just
take the Bike Valet concept and do it. We need to provide an
attractive package they can pay for and get the whole job done. <br>
In particular the status quo with price breaks scenario looks
like they are doing a lot of work and we're just staffing the
station for a little setup and customer service. (Not quite like
that.) But I can't see them wanting to get into a deal like that.
(Or was that your point--a throw away option to move them to the
full price deal)<br>
<br>
I assume the numbers in the spreadsheet are actual anticipated costs
and our expected profit would be the 15% "admin fee". That seems a
little low for the gross profit on an operation like this. What
have you allowed for maintenance and equipment replacement? <br>
<br>
I forget what our current capacity is. What sort of capital costs
are we looking at for some of the higher capacities? Do we also
need to provide a capital reserve fund (expense item) to maintain
our capital plant in the long run?<br>
<br>
I hope we can impress them with a professional full-meal deal that
will enhance fan experience and provide a tidy profit for us. We've
certainly put a lot of effort into this project. I think we
deserve a return on our investment.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Amanda and I have worked on a counter offer for bicycle valet
services at the 2014 Bomber games that would see us provide valet
service at the rate of $800/game. I'm attaching a document that
outlines in-kind requirements we would need from the Bombers to
reach this price, plus the original proposal and an updated
version of the spreadsheet outlining our costs (see the Rates and
Bombers-500 tab on the attached spreadsheet). At this time, we're
just counter offering on the status-quo proposal. <br>
<br>
Please take a look over this and get back to Amanda and I on
acceptability of this proposal. We hope to get it back to the
Bombers tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Here are the essential changes from the original proposal to the
counter proposal<br>
<br>
Here is what has changed<br>
<ul>
<li>We've dropped the volunteer time requirement by two as we
had missed including Amanda and Alyssa in staffing
requirements</li>
<li>We've dropped the coordinator time for volunteer scheduling
from one hour per 10 hours of scheduled volunteer time to one
hour per 20 hours of scheduled volunteer time<br>
</li>
<li>We've changed the volunteer stipend from an hourly rate into
a rate/shift, which increased the cost a bit but better
reflects our reality<br>
</li>
<li>We've allowed for 65% of volunteer stipends to come through
Bomber bucks (that was how I got the cost down) - I think this
still allows room for volunteers to donate their stipend to us<br>
</li>
<li>We've dropped $0.5/volunteer hour in volunteer appreciation
that would be provided in kind by the Bombers through use of
the Blue and Gold Club</li>
<li>We've added an hour of Amanda's time for inventory/cleaning </li>
<li>We've added an option for volunteer time to be provided by
the Bombers</li>
<ul>
<li>They would need to provide 4 volunteers for an hour
beginning 30 minutes prior to the end of the game<br>
</li>
<li>This allows us to drop the number of volunteers required
at peak times<br>
</li>
<li>With this option, their Bomber bucks requirement drops
back to the 50% of our volunteer stipend expense (vs the 65%
if they provide no volunteers)<br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
