Explanation
§ The city utilizes a traffic control service provider to manage traffic control services for Spectrum Arena events in Uptown.
§ Services include the set-up of traffic control devices, management, staffing, and direction of special event-related traffic and bus parking needs for the Spectrum Center.
§ These services are essential in helping to maintain public safety during events.
§ The current contract for these services expires on December 31, 2025.

§ Parking Unlimited Inc. best meets the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to the RFP.

Charlotte Business INClusion
Contract goals were not established for this contract because the scope of work or goods does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. Parking Unlimited Inc. will be responsible 100% of the work or goods, and there are no opportunities to include subcontractors. This assessment was confirmed by CBI and the respective department after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting opportunities.
