RESOLUTION NO. 13544
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL APPROVING
USE OF A COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION PROCESS FOR THE PURCHASE OF
CREDIT CARD PARKING METERS AND PARKING SENSORS TO REPLACE
EXISTING PARKING METERS
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael utilizes parking meters in the downtown business core
that accept only coins as a method of payment; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to purchase new meters that accept credit cards as a
method of payment; and
WHEREAS, City staff has concluded that the use of a request for proposals and
competitive negotiation process will be more advantageous to the City than the use of
competitive sealed bids as the request for proposals will allow staff to analyze and
determine which, if any, proposer offers the best solution for new meters that accept
credit cards as a method of payment; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.55.190 of the San Rafael Municipal Code requires the CITY
COUNCIL to authorize the purchase of equipment or services by competitive negotiation;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL hereby
authorizes the Parking Services Division to issue a request for proposal for the
purchase of credit card parking meters and sensors and to use a competitive
negotiation process to select the proposal deemed to be most advantageous to the
City.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall take immediate effect upon
adoption.
