Van Milligen - City Manager FROM: Ryan Knuckey — Director of Transportation Services Dubuque *Aoeriea &ly �RfUN4LCNl; ltxlx: 2007-2012.2013 2017*2019 SUBJECT: Smart Parking & Mobility Management Plan: Mobile LPR System Request to Distribute RFP DATE: February 23, 2026 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval to distribute a Request for Proposal (RFP) to secure a vendor for Mobile License Plate Recognition Enforcement (Mobile LPR) System for Parking Enforcement Officers (PEOs) as part of the Smart Parking & Mobility Management Plan Development and Implementation Project. BACKGROUND The Dubuque Main Street, Central Avenue Corridor areas and Historic Millwork District make up a majority of the core downtown business district in Dubuque. Having convenient, available parking in downtown Dubuque is a concern for many local employers, property developers, and residents. A lack of available parking spaces can lead to employees, customers, tenants, and homeowners walking undesirable distances between open parking spaces and their final destinations. The City is seeking to implement holistic transportation solutions to provide a positive customer experience that financially supports the system, from customer point of origin to point of final destination, which also minimizes travel time. Implemented solutions will maximize existing city mobility and parking assets and resources, leverage best in class parking and smart transportation technology, and identify future opportunities for efficiencies. The guiding principles developed for the Smart Parking & Mobility Management Plan Development include: • Parking is a key ingredient for keeping the downtown economically viable. • Parking needs to be a partnership between the public and private sectors. • Fair and accessible mobility solutions are one of the core components of a community' s livability because it provides access to living wage jobs, healthcare services, quality education, cultural institutions, and recreation opportunities. Page 1 of 3 Page 818 of 939 • Parking access and any updated policies need to meet the needs of a diverse group of users. • Parking must be fully integrated with Transit and other forms of transportation system mobility in order to maximize efficiencies and customer experience. • Parking and transportation mobility is not free, and an updated revenue fee structure needs to be established. • Parking and mobility solutions need to utilize the most up to date technology and must be simple to use and manage across all platforms. • To the maximum extent feasible, parking, and subsequent modes of travel to final points of destination must feel safe for customers. • A business strategy that works in a post -pandemic environment needs to be developed. The scope of the RFP requires smart parking & mobility systems that serve the downtown Dubuque area which will be economically sustainable for the City balanced with improving downtown business vitally. DISCUSSION City staff recommends moving forward with the RFP for a Mobile LPR system for our PEOs. The RFP outlines requirements the Parking Department is looking for and allows the vendors to propose alternative approaches as long as they meet minimum requirements of the RFP. The end solution must also be able to integrate with the Pay by Plate Multi -Space Meter (PbP MSM) RFP and be able to fully integrate with AIMS, our parking management software. Schedule for the Mobile LPR System RFP Distribution and Vendor Selection: - RFP Issue Date March 4, 2026 - Questions Deadline April 1, 2026, before 10:00 AM - RFP Submittal Deadline April 8, 2026, before 2:00 PM - Consultant Interviews April 20, 2026 - Recommendation to City Manager May 13, 2026 - Project Start Date June 29, 2026 - Completion of Work July 29, 2026 The recommended review committee for the submitted proposal is as follows: • Ryan Knuckey, Director of Transportation Services • Joe Pregler, Chief Information Officer • Jill Connors, Economic Development Director • Russ Stecklein, Operation Supervisor — Parking Division • Corinne Rothblum, Economic Mobility Special Assistant • Antonio Mouzon, Office of Community Impact Director • Justine Hull, Traffic Engineer • Jim Bousley, Project Manager • Representative from Walker Consultants Page 2of3 Page 819 of 939 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City distribute the Smart Parking & Mobility Management Plan Development and Implementation Project Mobile LPR System RFP and solicit proposals from qualified vendors to provide the requested professional services.

Integration with existing AIMS parking management systems: a. Permit Management 61 Page 881 of 939 b. Citation (Ticket) Management 1.4 DESIGN CRITERIA A. LPR System Performance 1. Achieve a capture rate of 98% for all non -exception vehicles, as defined in this section, meaning that 98% of all license plates within range of being read by the LPR cameras are identified as license plates for the sake of reading and recording each plate's characters. 2. Achieve an N Factor rating of 92%, meaning that the LPR system reads all captured license plate characters, exclusive of stacked characters, correctly, 92 percent (92%) of the time for all non -exception vehicles as defined within this section. Missing, misread, or additional characters as determined by the LPR system, are counted against the read accuracy (i.e. if a license plate contains six standard characters "ABC123", then N=6. Therefore, in order for the system to achieve an N read, the system reads the LPN "ABC123" exactly). Additional characters added before or after the license plate characters count against the read rate. (i.e., "1ABC123" does not constitute an N read). 3. Achieve an N-1 Factor rating of 96%, meaning that the LPR system reads all but one license plate character, exclusive of stacked characters, correctly, 96 percent (96%) of the time for all non -exception vehicles as defined within this section. 4. Achieve an N-2 Factor rating of 98%, meaning that the LPR system reads all but two license plate character, exclusive of stacked characters, correctly, 96 percent (98%) of the time for all non -exception vehicles as defined within this section. 5. Exception vehicles do not count against the accuracy of the LPR system. For the purposes of the LPR performance requirements an exception vehicle is defined as: a. Any vehicle whose license plate is obstructed, obscured, or encroached upon by a foreign object. b. Vehicles that contain excessive graphics and advertising such that it is impossible for the LPR system to determine which graphics belong to the license plate and which graphics do not. c. Vehicles with no license plate. d. Vehicles with temporary cardboard (non -reflective) "Dealer Plates." e. Motorcycles. 6. Provide a means, subject to approval by the City, to remotely score the LPR system to ensure it meets the performance requirements. Provide all software needed to test the LPR system's performance, downloadable to a standalone PC used for testing. B. Fully operational regardless of extreme weather such as heat, sun, rain, ice, snow, freezing rain, etc. C. Operating temperature range of -30 to +55 Celsius and to 95% RH. 1.5 PRICE REQUIREMENTS: A.

The RFP Scoring Matrix has weights assigned to the above listed criteria. The Vendor ranked highest after the scoring matrix is completed will be recommended for the award of this project by the RFP Selection Committee. SELECTED CONSULTANT - FEE NEGOTIATION PROCESS Upon the successful completion of the Vendor RFP review process, the RFP Selection Committee will recommend to the City Manager, the awarding of a contract to the highest ranked Vendor. Upon consensus of the award recommendation between the RFP Selection Committee and the City Manager, the City Manager will then make a formal recommendation of award to the Dubuque City Council. The City Manager will also request authority from the Dubuque City Council to negotiate with the recommended Vendor a final scope of work and fee structure for the project, and for the authority to execute a contract with the Vendor awarded this project by the City Council. After authority is granted to negotiate an agreement and execute a contract with a Vendor, the Vendor and city staff shall jointly prepare a final detailed scope of work with a set fee. After the final scope of services has been determined, a fee has been negotiated, the City shall incorporate these documents into the Contract Documents being prepared for signature. If a contract satisfactory and advantageous to the City can be negotiated at a price considered fair and reasonable, the award shall be made to that offerer.
