RFP #27001 Courthouse Parking Deck & City Hall Parking Lot System Upgrade

The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County is soliciting proposals under RFP #27001 to upgrade the Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS) for the Courthouse Parking Deck and the City Hall parking lot. The project aims to replace aging equipment with a modern, integrated management solution. Key requirements for the City Hall lot include the installation of a License Plate Recognition (LPR) camera for automated entry, a free-exit system, and a centralized management platform for administration and reporting. The overall goal is to provide a single interface for managing permissions and occupancy across both facilities. The contract has an estimated annual value of 75,000 dollars and a performance period of one year from the date of award, with an option to renew for four additional one-year periods. Proposals are due by October 1, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal. Award selection is based on a best-value trade-off, weighing technical approach, system functionality, implementation plans, experience, cost, and maintenance support. Mandatory submissions include a proposal form, acknowledgement of addenda, and a Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act affidavit. Contractors must also provide a written safety program and maintain insurance listing ACCGov as the certificate holder.
