BI GROUP October 6, 2015 service to a vendor. IBI Group will provide the City of Santa Ana an evaluation of the pros and cons of each method. Parking Enforcement - Parking control enforcement is an important element to consider when implementing a pricing structure. Most stations with a pricing structure have some type of enforcement plan to ensure that patrons are utilizing the spaces correctly. Parking at the SARTC is provided on two - surface lots and a four -level parking structure; and would benefit from some type of parking control enforcement. Based an the proposed parking strategies, IBI Group will identify the level of parking enforcement needed. • User Information, Outreach, and Signage - User information, outreach, and signage have been shown to improve user experience and reduce the time it takes to find a parking space. With the implementation of a pricing structure, users will need to be informed of the new parking rates and where best to park based on their needs. IBI Group will update the assessment the types of user information, outreach, and signage and provide the City with a list of options that incorporate associated costs to implement. Impacts of Parking Management Plan -The implementation of a pricing structure may have impacts on property located adjacent to the station as a result of spillover parking. The area surrounding the station currently provides public and residential on- street parking that will need to be analyzed for impacts from potential spillover parking. Parking spillover can be managed, but requires additional management and policies such as parking permits and time limits. IBI Group will update the identified strategies to address any potential spillover parking resulting from the updated recommendations. Deliverables: Update to the Evaluation of Alternative Solutions in the Final Parking Management Plan Task 4. Parking Lot Control Specifications It is anticipated that the parking analysis and evaluation conducted in Task 3 will help to frame an approach for the city to follow in the implementation of a pricing structure for the SARTC parking facilities. This task will focus on the development of a set of specifications that the city can use to procure a parking payment system for installation in the surface and structured parking facilities. Per discussions with the City of Santa Ana, IBI Group understands that the city would also like to install the same parking access control and payment system selected for SARTC at the other four city -owned parking garages in Downtown Santa Ana. To complete this assessment, IBI Group will field review each of the four garages to observe entry /exit points, current operations, payment collection, and access /egress patterns at each garage. This assessment will also include a review of parking utilization and in- /out data provided by the City of Santa Ana to IBI Group. IBI Group will identify up to three alternative approaches to implementing paid parking at SARTC and modifying the payment collection systems at the other four city -owned garages to provide a consistent system. These alternatives could include automated parking fee collection systems with gates, proof of payment systems, or others that would be appropriate based on the layout of the facility and parking utilization patterns. The specifications developed in this task will identify the preferred type of parking fee payment collection system, locations for installation of equipment, and system capability and capacity
