Cloud-Based Downtown Parking Management System

The City of Marietta is seeking a cloud-based, comprehensive downtown parking management system to detect vehicle occupancy and manage parking space duration. The agency is trying to solve the problem of unnecessary circulating traffic and the heavy burden on sworn officers who currently enforce the posted two-hour parking limit. The project covers the deployment of sensing technology across on-street spaces, surface lots, and structured deck levels to track vehicle dwell times and generate automated alerts when limits are exceeded. The scope of work requests a scalable solution that integrates with existing city systems such as GIS, identity, reporting, finance, and citation processing, as well as navigation applications like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze. The agency requires a web-based parking availability map for visitors, mobile enforcement dashboards for field personnel, and role-based access control for multiple departments. Additionally, the agency is requesting options for dynamic digital signage at key intersections to display real-time space counts, along with optional text or app-based notification services. Bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency allows the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. All questions regarding this procurement must be submitted no later than July 7, 2026.
