RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to amend the agreement with the Phoenix Group for an
Automated Parking Citation System to increase compensation by an additional
amount of $125,000 for the current agreement term and extend the term by an
additional one-year period in an amount not to exceed $275,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
On February 22, 2005, Council authorized the Police Department to execute
an agreement with the Phoenix Group to provide an Automated Parking
Citation System for issuing and processing parking citations and the
collection of parking penal ties. The automated parking citation system
streamlines and expedites the issuance and processing of parking citations.
Phoenix Group also handles all refunds related to parking penalties.
The additional funds of $125,000 are requested for the current agreement
term due to increased enforcement of parking violations, creating
addi tional processing acti vi ty. The proactive enforcement has greatly
enhanced revenue, with an increase of over $735,000 compared to FY 04-05.
Staff's evaluation has determined that the Phoenix Group has performed
satisfactorily and recommends renewing the agreement for another one-year
term, in an amount not to exceed $275,000. The extension of the contract
through the end of the 2007 calendar year will guarantee stability within
the processing, hearing, and collection procedures for our City's
citations.
