Port authorizes RFP to professionalize management of 13 Port parking facilities
Summary
The Port Commission authorized staff to advertise an RFP to engage up to three firms to manage 13 parking facilities (about 770 stalls) serving port tenants, maritime users and fleet operations; each contract would be three years with two three‑year renewal options and funded from real estate operating budgets.
The Port Commission authorized staff to advertise a request for proposals to select up to three firms to provide professional parking facilities management services for 13 Port facilities serving tenants, maritime users and fleet operations.
Assistant Deputy Director Kimberly Beal said the RFP responds to inconsistent enforcement, maintenance and operational inefficiencies across approximately 770 stalls (about 650 of which are managed by Port staff). The scope will allow grouping facilities into three categories — tenant only parking, maritime tenant parking, and monthly fleet parking — and will incorporate inspection, enforcement, maintenance and fee collection. Each awarded contract would have a three‑year term with two three‑year options to renew. Staff said the work will be funded through the Real Estate and Development operating budget and that costs are intended to be offset by parking revenue, producing net revenue to the Port.
Beal said the Port conducted a Request for Information in September 2024 to shape the RFP and will set LBE participation goals in coordination with the City’s Contract Monitoring Division (CMD). Staff described an outreach plan using the city supplier portal, regional chambers of commerce and trade groups with a proposed schedule to advertise in November and award contracts in January–February, with an aggressive timeline for contractors to commence services in February.
Commissioners had no substantive questions; the Commission approved authorization to advertise by voice vote.
Ending: Staff will finalize RFP language, coordination with CMD for LBE goals and execute outreach; procurement documents will return for contract award when proposals are evaluated.
