<br />. ' <br /> <br />Mr. Dan lack <br />January 4, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />Adding the after-hours customer service and monitoring duties associated with your on- <br />street meter program would be a natural, economical fit with our current services, <br />requiring minimal increases to existing staffing levels to accommodate these expanded <br />duties. <br /> <br />The new meters are all wirelessly networked and send reports of any malfunctions to a <br />designated cell phone, identifying not only the problem ("coin jam", "low battery", etc.) <br />but also the unit number with the problem. The City will set up the text messaging <br />system from the meters so that these messages are automatically forwarded to Ampco <br />personnel at our existing cell phone at the Jefferson St. garage during the after-hours <br />operation periods. <br /> <br />Each meter also has a phone # listed for patrons to call in the event of a problem. This <br />goes to the City's parking hotline, which you have indicated the City will continue to <br />handle. <br /> <br />The additional customer service/support required by the City to fully support this <br />program would be from 2:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Monday - Friday and from 10:00 a.m. - <br />8:00 p.m. on Saturdays, for a total of 37.5 hours per week. Based on our discussions <br />regarding the services to be provided, we will only need to add 6 hours per week of <br />additional staffing at the existing facilities to provide us with the flexibility to add this new <br />service, without jeopardizing the high level of customer service and support we currently <br />provide to our parking patrons at the off-street facilities. <br /> <br />Proposal <br /> <br />We propose to provide an additional attendant from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. on Friday <br />and Saturday evenings to handle this additional service. The duties of existing Ampco <br />personnel (already being paid for by the City) will be expanded during the other hours <br />needed to handle this service. <br /> <br />The service provided by Ampco would include the following duties during the <br />aforementioned hours: <br /> <br />. Respond to Calls For: <br /> <br />o Coin jams <br />o Bill jams <br />o Paper jams <br />o Printer empty <br /> <br />The City will handle all other calls of every nature and will be responsible for all other <br />equipment maintenance, revenue collection and enforcement duties associated with <br />same. The City will provide necessary printer supplies to Ampco. <br /> <br />Due to the physical distances involved, we will need to provide a car for the use of our <br />personnel. We have a suitable vehicle in our current fleet which will be provided on a <br />short term (month-to-month) basis. Ampco will bill the City $300 per month for the <br />provision of this vehicle, plus $150 per month for insurance, plus the actual costs <br />
