Explanation
§ The Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) provides traffic control and logistical support for the Spectrum Center (formerly Time Warner Cable Arena), such as curb management, signalization, bus management, pedestrian management, placement of traffic control devices, and construction impact abatement.
§ The Spectrum Center hosts an estimated 125 sporting, music, business, and other events each year.
§ CDOT uses an outside service provider to manage transportation for patrons attending events at the Spectrum Center, and to manage traffic flow to and around the venue for selected events.
§ On September 13, 2016, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Spectrum Center Traffic Control Services. In response to the RFP, the City received two proposals from interested service providers.
§ CDOT staff evaluated the proposals and determined that Parking Unlimited, Inc. best meets the City’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
§ The contract provides renewal options for two additional, one-year terms at prices to be negotiated based on market conditions.
§ Annual contract expenditures are estimated to be $125,000.
