The City and Diamond Parking executed a one-month bridge extension of the existing contract to continue on-street parking enforcement services and parking permit processing through January 31, 2026. The Police Department is requesting Council approval to extend the contract for an additional six months, through July 31, 2026, while the City conducts a formal competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process in accordance with the City's Purchasing guidelines.
Approval of this contract extension will ensure continuity of on-street parking enforcement following the expiration of the original contract on December 31, 2025. Continued contracted services will maintain parking compliance and provide the Police Department sufficient time to complete the RFP process and develop staffing plans to support a full transition to in-house parking enforcement operations beginning in 2027.
