DISCUSSION:
On November 28, 2023, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 23-1015, authorized a Sole Source Agreement with Mitchell Adding Machine
Company, Inc., dba Mitchell Time and Parking (MTP) for the purchase of parking automation equipment for the Houston Street Garage and to
provide five-year service and preventative maintenance for the Will Rogers Memorial Center Parking System, Houston Street Garage and
Commerce Street Garage. The contract with MTP was exempted from competitive bidding requirements because MTP is the sole source provider
of software and related services.
The Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) recommends increasing the contract amount with MTP to purchase additional parking
automation equipment and cover associated fees for the Commerce Street Garage in an amount up to $150,000.00.
This includes $131,013.00 for parking automation equipment for the automation of the Commerce Street Garage and $18,987.00 for monthly fees.
Therefore, City Secretary Contract No. 52436 will be increased from $120,061.36 to $270,061.36.
Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program due to the Development Agreement not
being completed in time to be incorporated into the Capital Improvement Program at the time of adoption. This M&C seeks authorization to
amend the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09-2025.
Funding is budgeted in the Municipal Parking Fund Balance for Transportation and Public Works Department. The beginning fund balance is
$9,051,514.82, and after this M&C the balance will be $8,901,514.82.
This agreement is in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available from fund balance within the Municipal Parking Fund and upon approval of the
above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the Municipal Parking Capital Proj Fund
for the Parking Garages project as appropriated. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works Department has the
responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
