Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for Installation and Management of Fully Automated Parking Management Services at its Frances Perkins Building (FPB) in Washington, DC. This RFI is for market research to gather industry input on a potential automation project for three parking garages. Responses are due April 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET.
Scope of Work
The DOL seeks to modernize and automate parking management for three independent garages at the FPB, totaling 898 spaces (East: 449, North: 228, South: 221). The future system should provide:
- A fully automated, modernized parking management system utilizing technologies like license plate identification (LPI), PIV cards, or contractor-provided cards for controlled entry and exit.
- 24/7 customer support via multiple channels (voice, text, web, email).
- A fully online web and mobile-enabled parking application and payment process, including an Android/Apple app.
- Management of the parking application process, including quality control and routing to government officials for approval, prioritizing categories such as Official Necessity, Employees with Disabilities, Vanpools, Carpools, SES, Schedule C, and Single Riders.
- An online dashboard for government officials to track garage usage, view trends, and generate reports.
- Facilitation of electronic issuance of parking infractions by DOL personnel. The anticipated contract structure for these services is a fixed-price concession contract, with a period of performance of one base year and four 12-month option periods.
