Title, Order
Authorizing Execution of a Contract with Cincinnati Time Recorder of Maine to Purchase a Revenue Control
Equipment for Parking at BIA in the Amount of $178,592.
This order will authorize the execution of a contract with Cincinnati Time Recorder of Maine (CTR) to purchase revenue control
equipment for Airport parking in the amount of $178,592.
On October 16, 2019, the City received five (5) responses for the acquisition and installation of parking revenue control
equipment to be installed at Bangor International Airport. The equipment requested included new parking software, gates,
ticket dispensers, parking ticket validators, 1 full self-serve payment kiosk at the exit lanes, 1 credit card only payment kiosk at
the exit lanes and a cashier fee computer for the 1 staffed exit lane.
The proposals were reviewed by the General Manager for Reef Parking, Airport Director, Manager of Operations and
Accounting Manager. In addition, Parke Clemons, of Reef Parking visited at least one site of each respondent either in the
Portland or Boston area. After all site reviews were completed, it was determined that the City should consider mag stripe
options.
Based on the site reviews and reference checks, CTR was approached to determine if a mag stripe system was an option.
While CTR has no plans to reintroduce the mag-stripe technology, they did offer another option. This option was to refurbish
2 of the current mag stripe ticket dispensers and replace the other 2 with dispensers that were installed at a new location, but
never put into service. This alternative approach provides the airport with a like new system including all gates and exit
devices. Also, included in this alternative approach is an additional full self-service payment kiosk so all exit lanes can accept
cash and/or credit cards.
This Order would accept the option from CTR to retain the magnetic stripe ticket type system in the amount of $178,592.42
and supports the Council goal of "ensuring management and financial stability of city government utilizing best practices."
