Ref: Meter collection rate increase request
Dear Saul,
As we've discussed in numerous meetings, we are hereby requesting an increase to our current
per meter collection fees due to the decrease in the monthly collections requested by the City.
Our adjusted per meter collection rate is $1.35 per single space meter and $13.50 per multi-
space meters. The increase in our rate will assist us in paying our fixed operational and
overhead costs.
Our justification for our requested adjustment is based on the decrease in the projected number
of monthly collections that were disclosed in the original RFP (RFP 43- 10111) document issued
in 2012 by the City which we used to develop our per meter collection rate. Those original
projections have been substantially decreased as a result of the City's pay-by-phone initiative.
It's our intent to continue to be the City's partner for parking related services during the current
RFP process. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
;' t['rtl-+-\_ .t^L--
