Report
Summary
This contract provides Parking Pay-by-Phone services for individuals who wish to pay for parking meters in the downtown area using a smart phone. The existing contract will expire June 30, 2025. Additional time is needed in order to allow the Street Transportation Department to develop a new revenue contract solicitation without interruption in service. The scope of work for services is being expanded to incorporate enforcement functionalities to reduce the need for a law enforcement officer to have to log into a different software program to see if a parking meter has been paid, deploy enhancements, collect data and incorporate into a parking master plan. This service is critical to the City's effort to provide parking options in the downtown area.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Contract Term
Upon approval the contract will be extended through June 30, 2026, with two option years to extend through June 30, 2028.

This is a revenue-generating contract. The estimated annual income is approximately $500,000 from credit card based transactions via smart phone. There is no financial cost to the City.
