6: /F-/ REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council and the Redevelopment Agency Board from the Ci Mana er and Executive Director April 25, 2005 Subject Award of Contract - Procuring & Installing Parking Control System Recommendation 1. Approve the Contract Oocuments and award the contract for the Procuring & Installing Parking Control System Project to the lowest bidder, McGann Associates, Inc. of San Leandro, California, for their bid of $753,663.00. 2. Reject the bid protest by the second low bidder, Federal APD. Background As part of the redevelopment of the Oowntown, and creating a parking control management system, this project will facilitate the implementation of a managed parking control system for three (3) sites in the Oowntown. The installation of this equipment will provide the revenue control for the required parking management for the "On-Broadway" Parking Structure, the Marshall Street Parking Structure, and the Block 2 Parking Lot location. This system will entail illuminated signage, card readers, intercoms, pay-on-foot stations, gate arms, and all other associated equipment. This equipment is computer controlled and can be set for any variation in parking rates, times of operation, validation, etc. When the City Council approves the parking management plan, the equipment will be programmed accordingly. The equipment is being purchased and installed now to insure that it is in place by the end of the year. Operation When a patron enters one of the Parking Facilities in their vehicle, they would press a button that would dispense a magnetic card ticket and raise the parking control gate. The patron could then visit a merchant that had a "validator" and get their ticket validated for some specific timeframe. The "validor" would record on the magnetic strip, the name of the merchant, and how much time that the patron would be entitled to park for free in the parking facility. Upon returning to the parking facility, the patron would visit one of the pay-on-foot systems and insert the magnetic ticket. The pay-on-foot machine would record the information from the merchant who validated the ticket, display any amount owed, and ask for payment. The patron could either, pay by credit card or cash; the pay-on-foot machine would then dispense a ticket and the patron would have a fixed amount of time to exit the garage in their vehicle. After getting back into vehicle and exiting the parking facility, the patron would insert the magnetic strip ticket into the exiting gate, and the gate would raise and let the patron out.
