1. INTRODUCTION

This solicitation replaces RFP 25-18, which was previously canceled. Any changes or
clarifications from the prior RFP, including applicable addendums, have been
incorporated into this document.

The City of Glendale, AZ (City) is seeking the services of qualified firms to provide
Comprehensive Parking Management Services for Off-Street Parking in an efficient, safe
and professional manner while always providing high-quality customer service. Operation
and management of the parking lot must be provided twenty-four hours a day, seven days
a week (24/7) except as identified in section 2 of this document and in accordance with
the Exhibit B the “Parking Settlement Agreement”. The proposed Comprehensive Parking
Management Services for Off-Street Parking may include the use of an automated pay for
use system(s). The initial Contract Term is twenty-five (25) years, with an option to extend
for two (2) additional ten-year (10) terms. Although the parking lot is currently only used
sporadically, the City anticipates the demand for parking will increase beginning sometime
in the last quarter of 2025 due to the completion of the VAI Resorts project.

2. OBJECTIVES

The parking services will include the operation and management of a surface parking lot
is known as the “Black Lot,” generally located west of 91st Ave, north of Montebello Ave,
east of 95th Ave, and south of Cardinals Way, in the Glendale Sports and Entertainment
District. The Black Lot has the capacity of approximately 4,000 parking spaces. The
Black Lot is owned by the City, although its use at certain times is restricted by a
contractual agreement (“Parking Settlement Agreement”) with the AZ Cardinals and the
Arizona Tourism Authority (‘AZSTA”). The Cardinals and AZTSA have the exclusive use
of the Black Lot during 9-12 NFL events per year, PLUS for any large stadium events with
more than 40,000 attendees. Consistent with the Parking Settlement Agreement, the
successful parking management vendor will be required to empty the parking lot for any
of these stadium events and not receive any revenues for these stadium events.
