TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Charles Koch, Assistant Director of Finance
DATE: June 3, 2015
SUBJECT:
Requesting approval to amend the current contract with Parkmobile USA, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia to extend pay-by-phone option for daily parking to include Route 25 Aurora Transportation Center.
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval to offer the same pay-by-phone service to daily fee parkers at the Route 25 Aurora Transportation Center which is already in place at the Route 59 Train Station.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2012 we entered into an agreement with Parkmobile USA to provide pay-by-phone option for daily fee payment at the Route 59 Train Station. This has been successful at Route 59 Train Station but we were unable to offer the service at that time to the Route 25 Transportation center until the onsite payment machines were updated. In the fall of 2014 new machines were installed and we would now like to offer this service at this station.
DISCUSSION:
This will allow customers the option to pay for their daily fee parking without having stop at the payment machines. Thus avoiding lines or standing in bad weather to process their payment. If the customer does not have exact change they will be able to pay without overpaying or not paying at all and potentially getting a ticket.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This will allow daily commuters another option to pay for their parking fee if they don't have correct change or are running late for their train so they can avoid a parking ticket for non-payment.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That approval be given to amend the current contract with Parkmobile USA with the attached amendment.
