Airport Parking Management Program

The City of McKinney, Texas, is soliciting proposals through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive airport parking management services at McKinney National Airport (TKI). The selected respondent will be responsible for recommending, providing, installing, commissioning, and operating all parking management systems, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations supporting a 980-space public parking lot with potential expansion to 1,450 spaces on a 24/7 basis. Key deliverables include technology solutions such as pay stations, pay-by-app capabilities, and online reservation functionality, as well as day-to-day operations management, parking revenue collection and remittance, equipment maintenance, and customer service. The respondent must submit a comprehensive cost proposal identifying all one-time implementation and startup costs (hardware, software, installation, testing, training) and ongoing operating costs (management fees, staffing, maintenance, customer service, payment processing), along with a revenue-sharing structure or alternative fee model clearly delineating the percentage of gross parking revenue retained by the City versus the respondent. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: company background and experience (20%), phasing and implementation plans (20%), use of technology and staffing (25%), cost proposal and financial terms (20%), materiality of exceptions (10%), and compliance with submission format (5%). The RFP was issued on February 6, 2026, with an interpretation deadline of February 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, and proposals are due by March 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. Submissions are encouraged electronically through the City's Bonfire procurement portal but may also be submitted in hard copy to the Procurement Services office at 401 E. Virginia Street, McKinney, Texas 75069. The City anticipates awarding a three-year contract with a two-year renewal option.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond; however, respondents must demonstrate at least three years of experience in airport or similar commercial parking operations and provide references from two airports or commercial operators with similar services provided within the past three years. Selected respondents must obtain Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Workers' Compensation with statutory limits, Business Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined), and Cyber Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence) insurance. No incumbent vendor or current contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The RFP does not specify an award value or budget range; rather, evaluation of the cost proposal will be based on the respondent's proposed revenue-sharing structure or alternative fee model and the overall value proposition presented in relation to the other evaluation criteria.
