Parts and Maintenance of Amano McGann parking revenue control equipment

The City of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, Florida, is seeking a sole source procurement for parts and maintenance of Amano McGann parking revenue control equipment for multiple city parking facilities, including Southcore Garage and Municipal (MSC) Garage. The procurement specifically covers comprehensive maintenance and replacement parts for complex parking technology systems, encompassing iParcProfessional software suites, servers, validation systems, credit card processing tools, and physical infrastructure such as barrier gates, ticket dispensers, proximity readers, and lane controllers. The sole source notification was issued on January 8, 2025, with a response deadline of January 17, 2025, at 3:00 pm, requiring electronic submissions through the city's procurement portal. Potential alternative vendors are invited to demonstrate their capability to provide equivalent products and services within a seven-business-day window by submitting a detailed vendor questionnaire and supporting documentation. The procurement process allows for vendors to challenge the current sole source designation by providing comprehensive evidence of their comparable technological and service capabilities.

The current sole source vendor is PSX, Inc., which is recognized as the exclusive authorized dealer for Amano McGann parking access and revenue control systems in Central Florida, covering eleven counties including Pinellas. PSX, Inc. utilizes factory-trained and certified personnel for installation, servicing, and technical support, and has been in good standing for over 20 years. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement allows for competitive challenge through the sole source notification process. The documentation does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the parts and maintenance contract. The procurement is limited to vendors capable of providing direct compatibility with the existing Amano McGann parking revenue control equipment, particularly focusing on the Municipal (MSC) Garage main server and existing technological infrastructure. Contact for further qualification inquiries is available through Jeff Becker, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Amano McGann, Inc., who can be reached at (678) 628-7465.
