In 2002, the City awarded a contract to Duncan Parking <br />Technologies for the purchase of the internal mechanism and software for <br />the existing 1300 POM parking meters and added 33 Duncan Parking <br />Technologies parking meter housings. The POM parking meter housings, which <br />utilize a mechanical locking system, are over 15 years old and require <br />continual repairs. The recommended action will allow for the replacement <br />of 342 parking meter housings with new housings with digital locking <br />mechanisms. Duncan Parking Technologies is the sole source provider of <br />Duncan meter housings. As a result, staff recommends Council approval of <br />this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Parking Meter Fund Machinery & Equipment account <br />(account no. 27-013-6641). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />~~» ~~~ --rte ~ <br />St e G.
