The University invites respondents to provide a PARCS replacement solution to its existing parking access control system operated by Parking and Transportation Services (PaTS). The University has issued this RFP to define the University's minimum service requirements, detail proposal requirements, and outline the University’s process for evaluating proposals and selecting the contractor. Along with the PARCS portion of this RFP is a group of alternate options which include License Plate Recognition (LPR). Responses are expected to define the systems/tools, implementation methodology, timing, resource needs, etc. to be used to provide a comprehensive and integrated solution to address the University’s PARCS needs. UNC Charlotte is seeking a comprehensive system as well as deployment of the proposed solution; proposals that do not include implementation and support will not be considered for award. Contractors may sub-contract for services included in implementation, however, all subcontractors and their respective project roles must be clearly identified in the proposal.
