Executive Summary
The City of Hoboken is seeking bids for the professional operation of off-street parking facilities. Addendum #1 was issued on June 3, 2022, to modify the original bid documents, including responses to bidder questions. The addendum clarifies various aspects of the RFP, including payment terms, union benefits, expense approval limits, and revenue handling. The City is not willing to consider a mutual 60-day termination clause or a true cost-plus agreement. Bidders may request the last 12 months of operating expenses and revenue for municipal parking garages through an Open Public Records Act (ORPA) request with the Hoboken City Clerk.
This bid requires operators to manage human resource matters, union benefits, health insurance, payroll taxes, workman's compensation, and Employer's Social Security taxes. The lowest total price in Box F of Exhibit A will win. The City will handle most operating expenses, with the operator needing approval for limited purchases.
The submission deadline is June 22, 2022.

Please attach this Addendum #1 to the original documents in your possession and ensure same is included in your proposal. This addendum includes: Q1: What date will we receive the responses to questions, and how will that be communicated? A1: All questions submitted will be responded to in writing and sent to all the bidders as well as published in the newspaper. Expected publish date is between June 3ʳᵈ and June 7ᵗʰ. Q2: Will the City consider 60-day mutual termination for both the City and the Operator? A2: The City is not willing to consider a mutual 60-day termination clause for both the City and the Operator. Please refer to Section “Termination of Contract” on page 14 of the bid specifications. Q3: Will the City consider 30-day payment terms instead of 60? A3. Refer to section “Payment Terms” in the bid specifications. Q4: Union benefits are mentioned, can you confirm where there is or is not a current union in place? If there is can the CBA be provided? A4: HPU does not possess a copy of the collective bargaining agreement. It is the City’s understanding that the employees of the current vendor are in a union. Q5: If awarded, can the selected Senior Manager be given a grace period once the contract begins to complete their CAPP or CPP certification? A5: If the Operator already has an employee at the company with a CAPP or CPP certification, then the Senior Manager will be granted a six-month grace period to obtain the certification. Q6: Section 2.4 states an operator’s annual budget will be submitted, and section 2.4.1 says the operator will have the authority to contract direct expenses up to $250 non-emergency and $1,000 emergency without approval. If the expense was included in our annual operator budget approved by the city, then will the operator still need to seek approval for the expense over $250? Or is that simply for expenses not included in our approved annual operating budget? A6: There is no annual budget due to the City per the bid specifications. Also, there will be no recurring costs for supplies or services that will be the responsibility of the Operator. Please refer to Section 2.4.1 in the bid specifications regarding reimbursable expenses. Q7: Is the City open to negotiating the $250 non-emergency and $1,000 emergency expense limit without approval? A7: No. The Operator will not be involved in procuring goods or services for the garages unless there is a special circumstance. Q8: With certain operators being national companies with significant buying power, would you entertain a true cost plus or management agreement contract where the operator is reimbursed for all operating expenses at cost at the end of the month? A8: No. Q9: The RFP in section 2.5.4 references a monthly reimbursement package, but the only reimbursed expenses mentioned in the RFP are the 4 on the invoice which are actual labor, labor management, management fee, and insurance. Are other operating related expenses being run through the operator such as maintenance costs, cleaning, supplies, tickets, etc. or are these running through HPU? A9: All other garage expenses for goods and services will be paid directly through the HPU. These expenses should not be factored into the Operator’s proposal. Q10: Section 2.5.9 states that the operator shall request supplies from HPU to purchase on the operator’s behalf? Does this mean that the operator does not have the authority to purchase supplies and be reimbursed through monthly invoice? A10: All purchases by the Operator shall be submitted for approval by HPU in advance as outlined in section 2.4.1. Q11: Section 2.5.10 states all staff should be accessible via cell phone. So will the cost the operators incur for cell phones for the associates be reimbursed through monthly invoicing? A11: HPU will provide cell phones for the staff it determines and pay the monthly charges. The operator will be responsible for lost, stolen or damaged phones. Q12: Section 3.0 outlines the responsibilities of HPU. Can the city please list the reimbursable expenses for the operator? A12: The policy is that the HPU will provide all supplies for the operation and allow the operator to make such purchases only under limited circumstances. The operator must obtain approval from HPU before making purchases in order for the purchases to be reimbursable. See section 2.4.1. Q13: The Exhibit A proposal sheet is Total labor, labor management, management fee, and insurance. Is the parking operator not expected as part of the RFP to provide a 12-month budget of expected operating expenses for operations to be reimbursed for? A13: The Operator will not need to provide a detailed budget on reimbursable expenses. Q14: The RFP states the lowest price wins. Is this the lowest management fee, or the lowest total price in box F of Exhibit A? A14: Lowest total price in Box F of Exhibit A. Q15: Exhibit B shows an annual budget of reimbursable items to the operator for wages, labor management, and office misc.? Are there not any other reimbursable expenses? A15: There are no consistent reimbursable expenditures. There will only be an immaterial amount of reimbursable expenditures such as one-off purchases or for an emergency. This budget was included only as an example. Q16: It is stated that the hours on the staffing chart cannot be exceeded for reimbursement. Can HPU please further clarify the dollar amount of monthly hours threshold not to be exceeded for reimbursement to the operator? A16: The Operator sets the maximum dollar amount in the bid submission. The Operator shall obtain approval from HPU in advance before exceeding the total number of hours required in Exhibit A of the bid specifications. Q17: The maintenance schedule included shows 2x per year annual power washing. That is an expense that costs more than $250. So will that need prior approval from HPU? A17: Yes. Q18: The industry standard is quarterly sweeping and biannual power washing. In our garage walks we observed that this might not be happening. Can the city elaborate on the cleaning and maintenance standards and if this will be followed? A18: The Exhibit D Cleaning schedule is the current plan of how the operator will maintain the garages.
