DESCRIPTION

The issuing organization seeks a vendor to provide and implement a cloud-hosted Parking Access and Revenue Control System (PARCS) upgrade. The solution is expected to support current and future operational requirements while addressing accessibility obligations, bilingual service needs, climate resilience considerations, cybersecurity expectations, and relevant policy requirements. Long-term serviceability through a local, factory-trained service provider is also required.

The scope includes design and engineering of the proposed PARCS configuration, supply of all new equipment and software, installation, integration, configuration, testing, system commissioning, and acceptance testing. The selected system must support transient, event-based, and operational parking use cases and include an open, well-documented API to enable integration with third-party systems such as CRM and ERP platforms.

The upgraded system must also integrate with the existing security environment, specifically Genetec, for intercom and card reader functionality. Ongoing maintenance, support, and service are part of the required deliverables. Questions are due by July 30, 2026.
