Key service requirements include fee collection, equipment maintenance, cleaning, security, and remote intercom support across public and staff-designated parking areas. The solicitation, RFP #23114, was released on April 28, 2023, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit scheduled for May 5, 2023.

The parking rates are structured with the first hour free, $2 for the second hour, $1 for each additional hour, and a maximum daily rate of $7, with monthly rates of $36 for "Night Owl" and $72 for regular monthly parking.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. The selected contractor must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and statutory worker's compensation coverage. The County will reimburse maintenance costs, except for repairs resulting from contractor negligence. Technology integration will involve Amano McGann PRO+ 2700 Credit Card Entry Terminals and PRO+ 4700 Credit Card Exit Terminals, which support multiple payment options including contactless credit card, NFC, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated in the documents, the County reserves the right to amend the contract to include additional facilities. The contractor will be responsible for managing all technological and operational aspects of the parking garage, with the potential for expanding services to other county facilities in the future.
