4 AUTHORIZE VILLAGE MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT -
VALET PARKING SERVICES FOR THE SCARBOROUGH STATION
WHEREAS, the Village of Briarcliff Manor (VBM) issued a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to provide valet parking services at the VBM's Scarborough Railroad
Station which identified such selection criteria as previous experience,
operational viability, and maintenance of the current level of service and interplay
with clientele and called for proposals to be submitted by 17 November 2017,
and having received three (3) proposals ranging in cost from $10,995.00 per
month to $12,350.00 per month; and
WHEREAS, the RFP calls for 2 years of fixed pricing calculated at a per month
rate and a VBM option to extend the award for a 3'd year not to exceed a 2o/o per
month cost increase together with other requisites such as liability insurance and
such other protections for the VBM and its parking permit holders; and
WHEREAS the lowest responsible proposal was by Pro-Park with a monthly
charge of $10,995.00 for calendar years 2018 and 2019 and the option for a 3'd
year at $11,215.00 (an increase of 2% in keeping with the RFP) equating to an
annual cost of $131 ,940.00 for years 2018 and 2019 and $134,580.00 for the
optional 3rd year (2020); and,
WHEREAS, ProPark is currently providing valet parking service at the
Scarborough Station under contract with the VBM and is familiar with the job and
facilities, has drawn compliments for its work, and can continue its work without
any interruption or disruption in service, at their current charge of $9,180.00 per
month ($1t0,160.00 per year);
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the proposal for valet parking services at Scarborough Station

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.
