On October 18, 2013 the City received six responses to its Request for Proposals (RFP) for Parking Management Services. The scope of work included within this RFP was; downtown parking operation and management (garage, Abbot Square, Columbia Street deck, surface permit lots) and Airport parking operation and management (long term, short term and shuttle lot). A selection committee reviewed all of the submissions and opted to meet with representatives of Republic Parking, based on the strength of their proposal. On November 14th, Republic Parking representatives Jack Skelton and Parke Clemons reviewed their plan to address the items requested such as; customer service training, mystery parker reports and customer surveys, new signage and a plan to enhance communication with the Council. Following that meeting, the selection committee unanimously concluded that Republic Parking would best meet the City's parking needs and that they had a plan in place to address recent concerns. On December 2, 2013, the Finance Committee approved staff recommendation to award the contracts to Republic Parking System. The contracts will be for an initial five year term. During the first three years, the fixed management fees will be as follows: downtown $34,200 and Airport for $36,000. In addition, the Airport contract includes an incentive provision, the new contract resets the base upon which this fee is based and therefore will only be payable when net parking revenues increase. This contract will result in savings in both operations. The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over $100,000.
