TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Jim Birchall, Interim Director of Neighborhood Standards & Abby Schuler, Management Assistant of Property Standards Division
DATE: September 12, 2017
SUBJECT:
Recommendation to Accept Proposal from Parking Revenue Recovery Services, Inc. for the Division of MVPS Enforcement.
PURPOSE:
To seek City Council acceptance of the proposal for a two year contract with a two year extension option from Parking Revenue Recovery Services, Inc. (PRRS), 12385 East Cornell Ave. Aurora Co. 80014 for MVPS parking Enforcement.
BACKGROUND:
Downtown parking enforcement requires the city to provide parking enforcement Monday through Friday 8 am to 8 pm and Saturday 8 am to 2 pm. This parking enforcement period is beyond the City's normal business hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. By contracting the parking enforcement services for evening and Saturday hours, the costs is less than hiring city personnel to perform these duties. Also, contracting these services allows the City greater flexibility to revise days and/or hours of enforcement as parking issues arise. Parking enforcement services for evening and Saturdays have been contracted out for the last 4 years and has worked well for the City's enforcement. The current contract has expired and bids were requested for a new 2 year contract with a two year extension option.
DISCUSSION:
The City requested proposals and received three bids with Parking Revenue Recovery Services, Inc. being the best qualified and lowest priced. PRRS Inc. has been providing parking services for over 15 years to various public and private agencies. PRRS currently provides parking enforcement services in the Chicago area with locally hired employees. PRRS has the personnel, expertise, and experience to meet our requirements. References have been contacted.
Funds are available and budgeted in the MVPS division account #520-1765-431-32-20
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Contracted parking enforcement services will continue to keep down the costs of evening and Saturday enforcement. It will also allow the City the flexibility to adjust days or hours of coverage to address parking issues that arise or during a snow event.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
City Council approval to accept proposal from PRRS Inc. for the Division of MVPS Enforcement.
