FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Duncan Parking Technologies for the purchase of parking
meter housings in an amount not to exceed $128,900.
DISCUSSION
The Community Development Agency Downtown Parking Management Division
operates the City's parking meter program., This program generates
approximately $1,000,000 in revenue to the City every year.
In 1989, the City installed POM parking meters in the downtown area and two
years later expanded the parking meter program to include the Willard
District. In 2002, the City awarded a contract to Duncan Parking
Technologies for the purchase of the internal mechanism and software for
the existing 1300 POM parking meters and added 33 Duncan Parking
Technologies parking meter housings. The POM parking meter housings, which
utilize a mechanical locking system, are over 15 years old and require
continual repairs. The recommended action will allow for the replacement
of 342 parking meter housings with new housings with digital locking
mechanisms. Duncan Parking Technologies is the sole source provider of
Duncan meter housings. As a result, staff recommends Council approval of
this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Parking Meter Fund Machinery & Equipment account
(account no. 27-013-6641).
