Summary

The City of St. Louis Treasurer’s Office (“STLTO”) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide an integrated parking management system encompassing parking enforcement technology and citation management.  The goal of an integrated parking management system is to provide a seamless, efficient, customer-friendly, and cost-effective parking operation for the City of St. Louis. 
 
The evaluation and ranking of proposals will consist of two phases. For the first phase, a review committee will rank and score the proposals based upon the evaluation criteria. STLTO will initially select a limited number of vendors to proceed to the second phase which requires vendors to perform a six (6) month on-street field test evaluation of their equipment before a final selection is made. The field test will include installing parking equipment on both sides of one or more contiguous city blocks (approximately 40-60 parking spaces). The field test areas will be selected by the STLTO. During the pilot period, vendors are expected to interface with the STLTO’s current ticket processing system. Based upon the results of the trial, the STLTO may decide to proceed with an offer to provide the City with an integrated parking system on a long-term basis. 

Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (“MBE”) and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (“WBE”) are encouraged to submit Proposals.  Companies are also free to submit joint-proposals to satisfy the entire scope of the Request For Proposal (“RFP”).  Joint venture proposals with MBE/WBE vendors are also encouraged.

Proposals are due on November 22, 2013.  All questions regarding the RFP should be submitted in writing in strict compliance with Sections 8 and 9 of the RFP.  This RFP has a quiet period beginning when the RFP is issued and ending when the first round of vendor(s) are selected.
