The facility <br />covers 6.75 acres and contains a 47,000- square -foot terminal, two surface parking lots with 273 <br />vehicle spaces, and one 4 -story parking structure with 404 vehicle spaces, totaling 677 vehicle <br />parking spaces. The terminal building is open from 5:00 AM to midnight daily. The parking <br />structure is open to the public from 4:00 AM to midnight daily. Parking is provided free of charge. <br />The Public Works Agency (PWA) manages the facility and is tasked with minimizing the <br />budgetary impact on the General Fund by moving the SARTC towards a self- sustaining <br />operation. Significant reductions in operating costs have been implemented and staff is <br />continuing to evaluate various avenues to raise needed revenues to ensure a professionally <br />managed facility that is attractive, safe, and responsive to the needs of travelers and our <br />residents. <br />One potential strategy to generate revenue to offset the operational costs of providing parking <br />facilities is to implement a paid parking management plan. At the May 7, 2012 Council meeting, <br />staff received authorization to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking consulting services <br />from firms with experience in developing parking management plans for municipal entities. A <br />notice inviting proposals was released on May 22, 2012 and the results are as follows: <br />25E -1 <br />
