 Subject: RE: [Lnc-business] Quarterly Board Meeting Hotel Proposals      I say that on line for Phoenix. I am out of town and can’t really see the spreadsheet in total so I did not see that they were only charging you $20. I hope for the convention they are dropping the resort fee like Red Rocks did for us in Vegas.      Live Free!    Robert

 Subject: RE: [Lnc-business] Quarterly Board Meeting Hotel Proposals     Robert, Where are you seeing a $40 resort fee? Two properties are charging a $20/day resort fee, the Arizona Grand and Harrah’s Atlantic City. There are no resort fees at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans or the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.     Sandy Graves, CMP, CASE Senior Director, Global Accounts HelmsBriscoe Office: (704) 664-5765  eFax: (866) 713-8001  Mobile: (704) 226-6535  HelmsBriscoe E-Brochure http://www.helmsbriscoe.com/                  From: Robert Kraus [mailto:robert.kraus at lp.org]

 Subject: Re: [Lnc-business] Quarterly Board Meeting Hotel Proposals     I don't know. Let's see if Robert Kraus or Alicia Mattson knows. Otherwise I expect one of them can ask HelmsBriscoe that question.

 Mr. Executive Director:   Are the hotels in Atlantic City and Phoenix also charging us daily resort fees in addition to the room rates listed in the summary section of the spreadsheet?     Scott Lieberman       From: Lnc-business [mailto:lnc-business-bounces at hq.lp.org] On Behalf Of Wes Benedict

 Subject: [Lnc-business] Fwd: Quarterly Board Meeting Hotel Proposals    See attached spreadsheet from Helms Briscoe (and email below), plus a spreadsheet on Oklahoma from Robert Kraus.

 In summary:
 1. Phoenix convention hotel will be $189 per night for the sleeping rooms. Free meeting space. $1,000 food and beverage minimum (so we'll probably do something like pay for your lunch and coffee to reach that $1,000 minimum).

 2. OKC hotel will be $82 per night for sleeping rooms. Free meeting space. Free breakfast. No Food and beverage minimum.

 HOWEVER, Robert Kraus noted to me from his vacation today in  Miami that: "Also we do not have to hold the meeting at the  Phoenix locations to see them. We can have the CVB send us a van to take us to the 2 locations under consideration and stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport North again for about $119-129 a night. . "

 Thanks,  --Wes

    Robert, Attached please find the completed Hotel Availability Report showing those hotels that have the Feb 20-21 Board Meeting dates available.  Of the five properties selected to receive the RFP, four of them have availability and have offered a proposal.   The attached report has three tabs.  Tab 1 is an overview of each hotel’s offer showing room rates, meeting room rental and F & B minimum. Tab 2 is an in-depth, detailed breakdown of each property’s proposal and Tab 3 shows the lone property that turned down the RFP due to no guestroom availability. By the way, initially the Hyatt Regency Bellevue also turned down the RFP but has since come back with availability due to being able to offer alternate meeting space.   Once you’ve had an opportunity to review each property’s proposal, please contact me with any questions that you may have. Each of them sharpened their pencil the best that they could and each of them in anxious to earn your business. I look forward to your feedback.      Sandy Graves, CMP, CASE Senior Director, Global Accounts HelmsBriscoe Office: (704) 664-5765  eFax: (866) 713-8001  Mobile: (704) 226-6535  HelmsBriscoe E-Brochure http://www.helmsbriscoe.com/
