HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Airport contracts with Republic Parking for the day-to-day management of the public parking facilities at the Pensacola International Airport. This activity was solicited under a Request for Proposal issued in 2010. Under the management agreement, Republic coordinates with the Airport for desired service levels and has personnel on-site 24 hours a day to provide for the operational needs of the four public parking areas. These areas include the parking garage, main surface lot, economy lot 1, and economy lot 2. All revenues from the parking operation are deposited into an Airport account. The Airport reimburses Republic for their actual operating expenses in accordance with an annually reviewed and approved budget, and the Airport pays a monthly management fee as set in the contract.
The agreement was set to expire at the end of January 2021. Typically, this would have been advertised for continuing parking management services under a Request for Proposal that would have gone by June and be reviewed by the August/September timeframe. In light of the uncertainly to the Airport posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic, staff does not believe the environment is conducive to soliciting proposals for these services. Until the situation stabilizes, whereby the Airport can better evaluate long-term operational needs related to public parking, it is proposed that the current management agreement be extended for two one-year terms, with all conditions remaining in place.
Republic Parking is a nationwide firm and provides these services at airports across the country. They have otherwise provided exemplary services to Pensacola, and have shown a willingness to work with Airport staff to adjust to the changing environment presented by COVID-19.
