Upon evaluation by staff, Parking Concepts <br />Inc. (PCI) was recommended for the contract award. On December 3, 2007, the City Council <br />approved atwo-year contract with PCI, with a provision to extend the term of the agreement for <br />three additional one-year periods. <br />During the past four years, PCI has demonstrated its ability to successfully operate the <br />downtown parking structures- They have established collaborative working relationships with the <br />downtown property and business owners, Downtown Inc., and the Santa Ana Police Department <br />to ensure the parking structures are well maintained and safe. <br />The City is currently under contract with a consulting firm to evaluate the downtown parking <br />operations. The intent of the analysis is to improve operations, expand service, and provide <br />better information. Once the report is approved within the next few months, PCI will have the <br />responsibility of implementing a portion of the recommendations resulting from the analysis. <br />25A-1
