c. If the coin slot is inoperable, MSMs shall have the option to accept card payments (e.g., credit card and smart card) and NFC (i.e. google wallet/Apple Pay). IPS complies. In the event that the coin slot is inoperable, the MS1 will continue to accept debit/credit card, smart card, pay-by-cell and NFC payments. d. The coin chute or track shall be a free-fall type. IPS complies. The IPS coin validator is gravity fed is designed to avoid blockages. The MS1 passes coins through the coin chute, which will deposit coins directly into the meters sealed containers in the lower vault of the meter. e. The chute or track shall include an anti-backup provision to prevent the retrieval of deposited coins (e.g., attached to strings, paddles, wires). IPS complies. The IPS coin discriminator has two mechanical processes to ! '_• prevent coin retrieval attempts. The first is pivoting arm that allows downward action for coin reading. If the coin is pulled back up into the coin entry s area, the arm position is pulled upward with the coin and blocks the coin path. 4 ' 11 I In addition, if the coin is read and passes below the final sensor and then • retrieved, a second set of fingers are activated much in the same manner as the upper pivoting arm to block the coin from re-entry into the coin discrimination area. 1 w f. The entrance to the chute shall be replaceable stainless steel to Coin accommodate or screen out coins of various sizes. Validator IPS complies. The entrance to the coin chute features a stainless steel plate. g. The jam alarm shall only stay active as long as the cause of the jam is present in the coin chute. Alarm should be a notification for staff only — not audible. IPS complies. When an alarm is triggered the IPS meter will establish a wireless connection to the DMS. The DMS can then relay the alarm message to a distribution list of the City's choosing, which allows for alerts to be sent to those with responsibility for a specific zone or area. Alerts can be sent using email, text message or both. h. When the coin chute detects a jam, the jams shall be recorded in the maintenance log. Identifying the cause of jam not needed. Just an alert that there is a jam. IPS complies. Maintenance issues are recorded in the DMS. When an alert is generated, an email or text is sent to the relevant personnel. i. Proposal Deliverable - Objects that Jam The Proposer shall describe any other objects its MSMs can detect. IPS coin validators and card readers both have sensors that can detect any obstruction, whether metallic or non-metallic. In either case, any object that obstructs or triggers the sensors will set an alarm, in which case, the meter will notify the client based on a notification distribution list of the customer's choice. 3. Coin Validation a. MSMs shall provide a count of all coins or other metallic objects passing through the coin chute that match the programmed characteristics of valid coins to a level of accuracy of 99.5%, so 995 coins out of 1000 shall be recorded. IPS complies. IPS coin recognition accuracy consistently averages greater than 99.5%. REV: 05-05-16 J5 Page 42 of 177 ATTY/AGR.2016.094/IPS Group
