6.1.1. - Page 2 <br /> Landscape Computing is essentially a new layer of the Internet designed to handle the <br /> billions of connected devices and sensors expected to come online to support Smart <br /> City Infrastructure. VIMOC's Application Program Interface (API) is paired with all <br /> Landscape Computing applications allowing customers to query and share sensory data <br /> online. Locally, their equipment is in use in the City of Palo Alto and Los Gatos. In <br /> addition, Redwood City has an ongoing pilot with Vimoc testing their on-street parking <br /> sensors. <br /> For Redwood City, VIMOC proposes to install a Landscape Computing parking space <br /> occupancy solution to support vehicle-count based occupancy information for the <br /> Jefferson and Broadway garages. For both garages, VIMOC will include several <br /> Dynamic Parking Signs that display messages managed by their online API solution. <br /> The system will be an integrated, extensible platform able to support multiple smart city <br /> services. Providing cloud-based data reporting and storage, allowing integration with <br /> other relevant city data such as traffic management, way-finding, or other parking <br /> management systems. <br /> With the current proposed schedule, Vimoc will begin installation in May 2016 and have <br /> the signage installed and running in June 2016. The installation of the dynamic signage <br /> will not interfere with the installation of new parking equipment for the two downtown <br /> garages. In addition, Vimoc's wireless solution will avoid disruption to the parking <br /> garages and on the busy downtown sidewalks. <br /> The proposed equipment upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to improve the <br /> convenience and effectiveness of the City's downtown parking program. Updates on <br /> other on-going efforts include: <br /> • New on-street parking meters —The top ranked vendor has been selected and a <br /> purchase agreement is being finalized for new on-street meters. Agreement is <br /> scheduled for Council approval at the May 9th meeting, with installation anticipated to <br /> begin in June. <br /> • New parking and revenue control system for downtown garages — Installation is <br /> currently on-going and scheduled to be completed in May. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to approve the agreement and direct staff to modify it or look <br /> into alternative solutions for the project. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The cost of the Dynamic Parking Signage system, installation, communications, data <br /> services and warranty is a not-to-exceed amount of $126,000.00. The FY 2015-2016 <br /> budget included $110,000 in the Parking District Fund for the signage project. An <br /> additional $16,000 will need to be reallocated from the Parking District Fund to cover <br /> the full installation costs of the project. The annual costs for maintenance, <br />
