b. The coin validation mechanism shall be programmable to accept a minimum of eight different coins <br /> and/or tokens including U.S. nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar coins. <br /> IPS complies. The MS1 accepts all US denomination coins. The City can program the acceptance of such <br /> coins in the DMS. <br /> c. The coin validation system shall accept all user-defined coins and tokens through software parameter <br /> changes only. Software changes shall be able to be sent to the MSM wirelessly and via a mobile CMS <br /> and/or a handheld device. <br /> IPS complies. These settings can be configured via the DMS. <br /> d. Should the U.S. Mint change the existing currency in any way the Proposer shall, at its own expense, <br /> update the software to accept the new coins issued as well as the old coins as soon as new coins are <br /> available to the general population. <br /> IPS will comply. <br /> e. The Proposer shall be able to alter the coin table to add new coins or to improve screening of invalid <br /> coins upon the Agency's request. Any changes to the validation process shall be made within ten <br /> business days of written request by the city. <br /> IPS will comply. <br /> f. The coin discriminator and coin chute operations shall incorporate no contact points that could be <br /> affected by grime or moisture, or a combination of the two. <br /> IPS complies. <br /> g. The coin discrimination system shall register both metallic and non-metallic jams. <br /> IPS complies. IPS coin validators and card readers both have sensors that can detect any obstruction, whether <br /> metallic or non-metallic. In either case, any object that obstructs or triggers the sensors will set an alarm, in <br /> which case, the meter will notify the client based on a notification distribution list of the customer's choice. <br /> Such jams will also be displayed in the meter management system until the jam is removed. <br /> 4.

The use of invalid bills will be recorded in the DMS. <br /> c. If the bill acceptor slot is inoperable, MSMs shall have the option to accept card payments, NEC and <br /> coins. <br /> IPS complies. In the event of a bill acceptor malfunction, the MS 1 will continue to accept payment by coins, <br /> debit/credit card, smart card, pay-by-cell and NFC. <br /> d. The jam alarm shall only stay active as long as the cause of the jam is present in the bill acceptor. <br /> Alarm should be a notification for staff only— not audible. <br /> IPS complies. When an alarm is triggered the IPS meter will establish a wireless connection to the DMS. The <br /> DMS can then relay the alarm message to a distribution list of the City's choosing, which allows for alerts to <br /> REV: 05-05-16 JS <br /> Page 43 of 177 <br /> ATTY/AG R.2016.094/1 PS Group <br />
