Requesting a two year contract extension of Professional Services for Motor Vehicle Parking Enforcement by Globetrotters International, Inc.

Globetrotters International has successfully performed parking enforcement for the city of Aurora for the past two years. We are seeking an extension of the current contract for a 2 year period with modest increases. The contractor performs parking enforcement in the Central Business District for 22 hours per week. The hours are Monday through Friday 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday's from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. These are hours not covered per our labor agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The original contract was bid and awarded in May 2013 for a two year period in the amount $32,000.00.for each contract year. I am requesting a two year extension with an increase of 3% for the 2015-16 contract year in the amount not to exceed $33,475.00 and a 1.75% increase for contract year 2016-17 and the amount not to exceed $34,100.00. The Globetrotter employees are trained with the enforcement procedures, ordinances and perform the technical operation of the city parking enforcement equipment. For the 2014 calendar year 3565 parking citations were issued.
DISCUSSION:
Central Business District parking enforcement is a service provided from the collaboration of parking studies and the removal of the parking meters. Money for the contract is budgeted in the MVPS Parking Enforcement Fund Account 520-1765-431.32-20. Globetrotters has no outstanding debt with the city.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This contract will be continued with the oversight from Motor Vehicle Parking Enforcement Division under the Department of Neighborhood Standards. Globetrotters is operating under a 60 day extension through July 14, 2015
