A clear strength of our team is our specialized knowledge and expertise. Carl Walkerhas exceptional vertical strength in understanding every aspect of parking from the planning, finance, design and construction of parking facilities through the operation and management of parking systems. The exceptional strength, diversity of experience and practical, real world expertise - combined with a sensitivity to the realities of the municipal parking environment - will help provide solutions of superior value. • The Cat] Walker team will provide a unique perspective in the evaluation and design of an updated parking access and revenue control system for the City of Fort Collins. We will review best practices and successful strategies/systems employed by other cities; advantages and disadvantages of system options; opportunities for information sharing among systems and other associated technology applications; and ways that systems can improve operational efficiency and effectiveness. Cat] Walkeirteam members provide an in-depth knowledge of planning, operations and management strategies that will lay the foundation for the review of parking access and revenue control systems. We will evaluate the current system and how it affects operations, provide system options, plan for future needs, etc. with the end user in mind. The focus of the team will be on delivering the specific results requested in the RFP. • All team members will work to identify opportunities for creative technology and management related approaches that will contribute to operational efficiency and effectiveness as well as business enhancement. • Because Carl Walker's strengths are largely based on actual hands-on parking management experience, we understand many of the issues specific to parking operations and the use of technology. This direct knowledge will facilitate planning and coordination to reduce both the time required to perform the review and the time required of the city's staff. • Having completed projects for the city in the past, Carl Mdkethas a significant understanding of parking in downtown Fort Collins. Carl Walker's understanding of the existing parking system in Fort Collins will help expedite the early stages of the study, as well as provide a strong foundation from which to review parking access and revenue control equipment options. • Carl Walketis a full service parking consultant. We understand parking from all aspects including planning, design, operations and management. Page 6 Gar/ Parking VValker Planning Engineering Res ration CITY OF FORT COLLINS PARKING TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE ANALYSIS PROPOSAL PRELIMINARY PROJECT SCOPE OF SERVICES Based on the requested scope of services detailed in the RFP, a preliminary scope of services is included for your review. The purpose of this scope is to address the needs detailed in the RFP, and to help our team deliver the services that would best meet the needs of the City of Fort Collins. The main goal of this project is to provide an analysis of parking access and revenue control system alternatives and recommend the best possible system to meet the citv's needs for the next fire to ten rears. The project will involve Carl Walkerrcviewing existing conditions, detertniniing desired system capabilities/options, determining parking access and revenue control system evaluation criteria, projecting future system needs, selecting possible systems for analysis, analyzing the pros and cons of each system selected for evaluation, system cost estimates (purchase, lease options, installation costs, related staffing costs, etc.), providing final equipment/system recommendations and creating an implementation plan for the selected equipment/sy-stem. The team will also provide recommendations designed to improve parking system operations and management. The preliminary scope of services detailed on the folloNying pages covers all of the RFP requirements, as well as any additional items xyr feel are necessary to successfully complete the study. An important part of many study processes can be working with stakeholders to build consensus on parking technology objectives and goals. NVith respect to this study, stakeholders could include cite staff, downtown business owners, the Downtown Busiiness iAssociation, the Downtown Development authority, parking system users, etc. As the support of each of these groups is integral to improving parking, they should feel included in the process and that their input is seriously considered. Including study area stakeholders is crucial i_o the Carl Walkerprocess, and has been included in many previous municipal projects including studies for the City of Long Beach, CA, the City of Dort Collins, CO, the City of Boise, II), the City of Lincoln, NF, the City of Boulder, CO and the City of ;Meridian, NIS. The City of fort Collins is currently planning on involving the community in this project, and Carl Walkeris prepared to help facilitate and document related meetings. Our recommended project approach consists of four tasks: I. Review of Background Data and Analysis of Current Conditions 1I. Development of Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems Needs and Evaluation Criteria 1II.
