REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />JULY 16, 2012 <br />TITLE <br />AGREEMENT AWARD FOR PARKING <br />CONTROL ENFORCEMENT <br />SERVICES <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />? As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 15` Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute the agreement with Central <br />Parking System, Inc. to provide parking enforcement services for a two-year term, for an amount <br />not to exceed $410,548.82 annually, with an option to extend the agreement for three additional <br />two-year terms, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City <br />Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Santa Ana Police Department's Traffic Division is responsible for the enforcement of <br />parking regulations throughout the City. Due to chronic staffing shortages, staff investigated <br />other Orange County cities that outsourced parking enforcement services at a substantial <br />savings to their respective cities. Staff explored alternative service models related to street <br />sweeping enforcement in an effort to identify any potential cost savings to the City. Currently, <br />the personnel and vehicle costs for these services is approximately $725,000 per year, which <br />does not include the cost of supervision or miscellaneous costs such as training, uniforms, or <br />lost revenue when employees are unavailable to staff all parking enforcement positions. <br />Staff advertised and released a Request for Proposal (RFP) on Tuesday, April 10, 2012 and <br />requested quotes for parking enforcement services to cover the City's current seven street <br />sweeping routes plus a full-time supervisor. In the event this contract displaced any City of <br />Santa Ana workers, we also required proposers to hire any of those workers at their base salary <br />for one-year as long as they met the companies hiring requirements. Staff also asked for an <br />hourly rate that would allow the City to utilize the private company to conduct supplemental <br />enforcement operations (i.e. permit parking enforcement) or to assist in fulfilling the duties <br />currently performed by the City's parking enforcement staff (i.e. traffic control, parades, etc.).
