o Additional outsourcing services may be added to the primary vendor's management contract as an extension or subcontract to additional vendors under their management. o Selected vendor representative will at a minimum send monthly reports to City staff point person. City staff point person will meet quarterly with downtown stakeholder for input on downtown parking issues. C. Simplify Parking Time Stays On -Street: The majority of users in the downtown park less than three hours, per Table 4 below. The City should standardize all on -street stalls (core and periphery) to 3 hours (See Figure 2 on the following page). This will simplify the system for the customer and assure a convenient and appropriate time stay. 15/24 - minute parking restricted spaces should be allowed only by exception for businesses with a demonstrated need for short, quick visit access (e.g., dry cleaners, ticketing outlets, post office, etc.). Our experience shows that very short-term parking cannot be enforced effectively and is often abused and misused as a result. For example, sensor data from Downtown San Mateo showed that downtown parking spaces turn over more frequently than manual data could track, and that average parking stays in their 24 minute spaces were on average abused. So, it is best for parking to be left open for flexible use for up to 3 hours. Data from the City of San Mateo indicated that the average parking session had a duration of 45 minutes and that was due to 30 percent of patrons overstaying the time limit. San Mateo enforcement staff indicated that the short-term spaces were difficult to enforce at such a high rate of turnover, leading to such a pronounced rate of overstays. The observed duration was even higher outside of the downtown core at slightly one hour. Table 4.
