One (1) community meeting — $2,048 — However, please note our response below identifying that the community meeting could be conducted in place of the user survey for no additional cost beyond our original budget. • Based on our interview discussion, please outline any additional tasks and deliverables not included in your initial proposal which your firm believes may enhance the results or usefulness of the parking plan. Please indicate the staff, hours, and fees associated with these tasks /deliverables should they be included in the final agreement. Response: Based on our discussions in the interview, IBI Group understands that the city is looking for a specific parking pricing strategy and implementation action plan that can be put into effect immediately at SARTC. We believe additional tasks that will achieve the City's goals should include: ■ Task 3 — Surveys and Outreach Based on the feedback from the interview, it may be more appropriate to conduct a user workshop instead of the user surveys. The user workshop will focus on obtaining input on how to make the system more user - friendly and educating the public about the new pricing system. ■ Task 4 — Parking Analysis and Evaluation IBI Group will develop a list of parking pricing strategies for the various parking locations and types of users to review with City staff early on in the study process. Working with City staff, we will identify 4 -6 strategies for evaluation and analysis. The evaluation and analysis will identify the appropriate pricing strategies for each parking location (surface vs. structure) and user type (Metrolink vs. Amtrak vs. employees), how much to charge, when to charge, how to charge and the necessary enforcement requirements. It is important to note that pricing will be as much dependent on city policy as much as other factors. For this reason, we will work with staff early in the process to identify steps to vet the policy issues and receive approval for the ultimate plan. This task will also include a financial analysis summarizing the revenue each pricing strategy will generate. IBI Group will also work with City staff to identify appropriate vendors or payment mechanisms as needed.
