A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE
DISPENSING WITH COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER, OR A DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE A GENERAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH LAZ PARKING CALIFORNIA LLC - SUBJECT TO
APPROVAL BY THE CITY ATTORNEY - AS DESCRIBED IN THE REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL DATED APRIL 30, 2024, FOR A FIVE-YEAR TERM FOR $17,297,535, WITH THE OPTION TO RENEW ONE-TIME FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF TWO YEARS FOR $7,933,025, FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $25,230,560 FOR SEVEN YEARS, FOR
PARKING MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR FOUR CITY OWNED PARKING
FACILITIES
WHEREAS, the City of Glendale owns four downtown parking structures that have historically been operated by and maintained by an outside contractor who’s expertise is required to handle a wide range of operational issues including the collection and processing of fees, monitoring and issuing monthly keycards, assisting customer service, financial reporting, security, janitorial and facility maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the current contract for these services with Modern Parking, Inc., will expire on June 30, 2024; and
WHEREAS, procurement of the parking management services contractor does not readily lend itself to a formal competitive bidding process and a contract award to the lowest responsible bidder, as required by the City’s Charter and the Glendale Municipal Code, because of the distinctive nature of operating and maintaining public parking management services — which requires consideration of additional important factors, such as service quality, technical expertise, innovation and variation in customer service programs; and
WHEREAS, issuance of a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) procurement process is better suited for obtaining a qualified parking management services contractor, as it allows for an evaluation of proposals based on important criteria that cannot be considered if the traditional competitive bidding/lowest responsible bidder procurement process was used;
WHEREAS, on December 28, 2023, the city released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for parking management services that was posted on the city’s website; and
WHEREAS, on January 11, 2024, the city hosted a mandatory pre-proposal meeting that was attended by 11 parking management firms; and 2 1

WHEREAS, the evaluation teams determined that based on the proposals received and results of the interviews, that the parking management firm LAZ Parking California LLC submitted the highest ranked proposal and that they are the top ranked firm to provide parking management services for four City owned parking facilities; and
WHEREAS, LAZ Parking California LLC has optimal parking management experience as well as local experience operating over 1.3 million parking spaces nationwide for over 450 cities earning 2.1 billion dollars in annually revenue with a large presence in the greater Los Angeles area including the Americana at Brand, City of Burbank, City of Inglewood, City of Long Beach and Los Angeles Beaches and Harbors; and
WHEREAS, LAZ Parking California LLC is PCI-DDS Level 1 certified and an Accredited Parking Organization through the International Parking and Mobility Institute; and
WHEREAS, LAZ Parking California LLC submitted a proposal rooted in innovation, sustainability and excellent customer service and an ability to seamlessly transition parking management services from another operator; and WHEREAS, the pricing in the proposal from LAZ Parking California LLC was determined by staff to be fair and commensurate with the scope of work; and WHEREAS, Glendale Charter Art. VI Section 9 provides an exception to competitive bidding where City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to dispense with competitive bidding; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE:
1. The foregoing facts are deemed to be true and correct and are a basis for dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the execution of a general services agreement with Laz Parking California LLC, and that the 3 1
