The bidding process involved a request for estimates for the purchase of one Auto View LPR
Overtime System. Proposals were received from (1) PCS Mobile (Genetec) in the amount of
$62,802.00 and (2) Gtechna in the amount of $69,938.00. These are the only two vendors
who provide LPR systems for parking enforcement that have a proven track record for pay by
plate/pay by cell parking enforcement integration that are being recommended for
consideration. The City of Carmel by the Sea has been using Genetecs Auto View system
since 2007 and are currently testing their newer model as it is an integral component of our
parking pilot program.
The City Council could elect not to purchase the PCS Mobile System and continue with only
chalking tires to enforce parking time limits. Staff is recommending council approve the
purchase of the PCS Mobile System, the lowest bidder, as the LPR system increases the
efficiency and accuracy of identifying violators, offers pay by cell integration and addresses
Workers Compensation issues of chalking-related injuries and light duty assignments which
are common from traditional tire chalking enforcement. The current parking time limits signs
are marked for electronic enforcement which were updated in 2007 after council approved
using Auto view as part of their parking enforcement system.
