Airport Parking Management Operations

The City of Austin is soliciting proposals for Airport Parking Management Operations under RFP 8100 SLW3035 to manage all aspects of parking and revenue management at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The selected contractor will oversee public parking garages, surface lots, and transportation services, including separate employee parking and shuttle operations. This is a management contract rather than a concession, featuring a 60-month initial term with up to three 12-month extensions. The contractor will be compensated via a fixed annual management fee and reimbursement for operating expenses. Key operational requirements include the use of the SKIDATA Parking Automated Revenue Control System and strict financial performance standards, such as a revenue leakage rate not exceeding 0.1 percent and 99.9 percent accuracy in daily reconciliations. Proposals are due by November 10, 2026, and will be evaluated based on a 100-point scale to determine the best value, with maximum points awarded to the most competitive management fee. Required submittals include a Price Offer, Technical Offer, and Offer and Certifications. To ensure financial security, the city requires a bid bond of 5 percent of the total offer, a performance bond of 10 percent of the first year's operating budget plus 25 percent, and a payment bond covering the first-year management fee plus 25 percent of the operating budget. Contractors must also comply with various certifications, including non-discriminatory employment practices, anti-lobbying ordinances, and Texas Government Code regarding energy company boycotts. All personnel must obtain security badges and adhere to federal TSA and airport security restrictions.
