The City intends to contract with Parker Technology as the sole-source provider for this parking management product. The contract term extends through August 31, 2027, representing a five-year period. The City has established a notification deadline of 5:00 PM on September 19, 2022, for any other qualified suppliers to submit written notifications to the Eugene Purchasing Office at Eugene.Purchasing@ci.eugene.or.us if they can provide equivalent products or services. Should no competing suppliers submit notifications by this deadline, the City will proceed with awarding the sole-source contract to Parker Technology.
