F a------ll= rr:ll--- Àr--^----- I t\vt'l r rililp L. ALgqrçilrt Yilrqyç r'rqrrqyçr DATE: 28 November 20L7 RE: Scarborough Railroad Station Valet Parking Bid Results As you are aware, ProPark America has been the RFP approved valet parking vendor at our Scarborough Statíon since its inception in 2008. Traditionally, we have had RFP's as each contract a'^,nir¡rl Th¡ rnnfra..+ thâi rnrn har.rn hpnn r¡rnnth., r rcinn r¡!lc fnr a t.¡,,.n ..,,ear fivnr{ nri¡¡ nor mnnth plus an optional third year to be priced no higher than 2.0o/o above the then monthly rate. The option is solely for the Víllage to exercise. We have found this RFP format to be very useful ¡n maintaining a stable, reliable vendor, meeting legal guidelines and identiñ7ing additional potential bidders, if neeessary. The current contract won by ProPark America three years ago called for a fixed rate for the first two years and an optional third year priced at no higher than 2.0o/o over the previous year. The current year's monthly cost is $9,245.00: that is based off of the third year calculation. As you know, the primary person representing ProPark America is "Juan" who has a very close relationship with our commuters having been the designated operator since its original operation We sent RFP's to seven known valet parking vendors: three submitted proposals. The bids were returnable on 17 November 2017 at 4:00 PM. Village Treasurer Edward Ritter and I opened the submissions. A summary of the proposed rates for years one and two and a third optional year are as follows: Month/Year-Yearsl&2 Month/Year - Year 3 option (+2%) rf urdf K r{f f tef tLd + rurvvJ,uu/ +rJrryru.uu $i i,¿i5.uui $ri4,5tj0.0ü l-AZ Parking $ 1 1,602.00/$ 139,230.00 $ 1 1,834.00/$142,015.00 Classic Valet Parkíng, Inc. $ 12,350.00/$ 148,200.00 $L2,597 .00 I $ 1 5 1, 164.00 ÞrnÞ:r'k r.,v¡c tha lnr¡r¡ct rêcnrìncih!. hirldnr rt t1O qqq nn nnr mnnth fnr ...,¡¡rq nne =nrl t"-..rn nnd $11,215.00 per month for the optional thlrd year. The two other proposals were cons¡stently higher. Given that ProPark is well known to us and our resident commuters, our recommendation that the two-vear contraetual rate of $10.995,00 ner month/$131,940.00 ner vear be awarded to ProPark-, We álso recommend that the third year óption should oniy be reui"*é¿ in December 2019 for the 2020-year contract. As previous discussed, the current ProPark rate per month is $9,245.00 and the amount going forward of $10,995.00 is an 18.8olo increase over the previous months. I reviewed this significant increase in the seruice rate with ProPark management and they related a higher commuter use and an increase of cars (permits) since the last contract. In point of fact (with the same rate per year, unchanged since 2013) we have exceeded budgeted revenues since 2015 by 17.5o/o. ProPark aiso notecj that they have had three people on site at various times to relieve the morning "surge" versus the two people normally present day-to-day, Lastly on this issue, I have knowledge that at least one other bidder sought to recruit "Juan" to be on site if they won the RFP: undoubtedly they "factored" retaining "Juan" with themselves. Since we antícipate a Valet Parking budgeted expenditure line shortfall for the last five months of our 20L7-2018 fiscal year, we will need to formally appropriate $8,750.00 from Fund Balance.
