Parking and Ticketing System

Blinn College District is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Parking Permit and Ticketing System to manage permits, compliance, and parking violations across multiple campuses. The required solution must support online services for students, employees, and visitors, featuring real-time data processing, a secure PCI-compliant payment gateway, and integration with the Ellucian Banner student information system. Technical specifications include support for automated license plate recognition, NFC/Wi-Fi connectivity, SMS notifications, and SAMLv2 for single sign-on integration. The system must adhere to strict security and hosting standards, including TX-RAMP certification, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 Type II, while complying with NDAA Sections 889 and 1260H. Proposals are due by August 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM CDT, and may be submitted via the Blinn College E-procurement portal or physically to the Purchasing Department in Brenham, Texas. Award decisions will be made on a trade-off basis, considering technical capabilities, pricing, and mandatory certifications rather than solely on the lowest bid. Bidders must provide several critical disclosures and certifications, including Form 1295 for interested parties, felony conviction notifications, and certifications regarding the boycott of Israel and foreign adversary influence. All equipment and services are to be delivered FOB freight to the district office in Brenham, with payment terms set at net 30.
