Summary of Specifications:
The City’s Parking System currently has ten (10) municipal parking garages, totaling 6,106 parking spaces. An 11th facility, Collins Avenue Garage is funded and currently in design with an estimated 470 parking spaces, for a grand total of 6,576 parking spaces. The gated revenue control system was installed in the City’s garages in 1996 by 3M, formerly known as Federal APD. This system is comprised of: hardware, software, firmware, and equipment, including, gate arms; loop detectors, fee computers, entry stations, exit stations, and pay on foot (POF) stations. Currently, each garage operates on a standalone basis and certain garages have equipment that is outdated and incompatible across technological lines. The City’s Parking Department is seeking a state of the art gated parking revenue control system including real-time centralized control of all facilities and devices; centralized processing of data (facility utilization, including monthly and transient transactions, revenue, user account information, etc.); a central monitoring station for: intercoms, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) at all entrance and exit lanes, and access control for all garage equipment. It is important to note that the software and some components of the existing equipment is proprietary to 3M, including the devices that read/collect data and transmit to the software. It is anticipated that, through this ITN, the City will short-list one or more qualified firms with whom negotiations will commence for the gated parking revenue system to include system objectives detailed under Appendix C. Costs will only be considered in the negotiation phase. As a result of the evaluation process detailed in Section 0400, Evaluation of Proposals, firms will be selected for negotiations based on qualifications and proposed scope of services. The City may negotiate with one or more firms simultaneously to arrive at the best value for the City.
