Report
Summary
The Contract provides ongoing maintenance and technical support of the Parking Access Control System (PARCS). Parking is the largest non-aeronautical revenue source at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and the PARCS is the underlying technology that facilitates that operation. The PARCS supports the operation of 12 parking facilities with approximately 32,000 parking spaces. During calendar year 2025, the PARCS processed approximately 3.3 million parking transactions and generated more than $159 million in revenue. Extension of the term of the Contract is critical for providing uninterrupted parking system operations, protecting critical revenue, and providing the time needed to complete a thorough market assessment and develop informed recommendations on whether the PARCS should be modernized further or replaced entirely.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Contract Term
Upon approval, the extension of the term of the Contract will begin on June 1, 2026, for an initial two-year term with three one-year options to extend the term for an aggregate five-year term. The options may be exercised at the sole discretion of the Aviation Director.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $7,425,814 in additional funds, the revised total cost of the Contract will not exceed $20,237,814 for the current and extended term of the Contract. Funds are available in the Aviation Department’s budget.
