PART III: SERVICE REQUIREMENTS


A. BACKGROUND:
With over forty (40) miles of scenic coastline, St. Johns County beaches offer some of the best recreational and wildlife
viewing opportunities in the State of Florida. Just minutes from the historic district of downtown St. Augustine, residents
and visitors can park off-beach and walk, sunbathe, fish or enjoy wildlife viewing along endless miles of coastline or park
directly on the sand to enjoy the County’s beaches.

The County has miles of coquina and soft sand beaches set against a backdrop of natural dunes topped with sea oats. The
beaches are a popular location to hold weddings, parties, marathons, and other special events. The County offers many
beach front parks and easy access to most of its beaches.

6
While the County has charged for years for on-beach vehicular access, the revenue generated does not provide sufficient
funds for the maintenance and repair necessary to keep our beach front parks and facilities in quality condition for our
residents and visitors. As such the County is implementing a parking management program which will facilitate pay-to-park
access and enforcement for off-beach facilities, and possibly the County’s boat ramp facilities. This parking program may
be expanded by the County to incorporate additional County facilities in the future, should the County determine it is in the
best interest of the County to do so.

In July 2016, The PFM Group and Phillips Parking, LLC conducted a study of projecting the possible revenues from
implementing paid parking in off-beach parking facilities. The study is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.

B. LOCATIONS
The County has currently identified the following locations as parking facilities where the parking management operations
shall be implemented. The County may, at its discretion, add and/or delete facilities from the parking management program,
in order to serve the best interests of the County.

Lot Number Location # of Spaces

2 South Ponte Vedra Park 37

C. PARKING FEES
The proposed rate structure for fees for parking shall be as follows:
Daily Fee: $5.00
Annual Fee: $50.00
These rates are inclusive of sales tax. It is the intent of the County to allow the payment of the daily fee to provide parking
access to any of the included parking facilities for the entire day. For example, if a patron pays the daily fee at Pope Road
Park on August 1st, that patron would have access to any of the other parking facilities, until closure of the parking
facilities, or until 11:59PM on August 1st, whichever came first.

In the event the County and Contractor determine a different rate structure would better serve the needs of the County, then
the revised rate structure will be incorporated into the Contract Agreement. All rates shall require approval by the Board of
County Commissioners prior to implementation. The County reserves the right to implement a discount structure to the rate

structure for County residents in the future.

only, and not necessarily reflective of any Contract that may be ultimately entered into by the County. In the event that a
Contract Agreement is not attached to the RFP, it is expressly understood that the Board of County Commissioners’

anticipated that subsequent to the Board’s preference/selection of any Proposal, Contract Negotiations will follow between
the County and the selected Respondent. It is further expressly understood that no contractual relationship exists with the
County until a Contract has been executed by both the County, and the selected Respondent. The County reserves the right
to delete, add to, or modify one or more components of the selected Respondent’s Proposal, in order to accommodate
changed or evolving circumstances that the County may have encountered, since the issuance of the RFP.

initial term of the Agreement. Changes to prices shall only be considered at the time contract renewals are processed. The
Contractor shall be required to submit any request for changes to the Contract Pricing no less than ninety (90) days prior to

Amendment has been issued, and signed by both parties.

C. COMPENSATION & METHOD OF PAYMENT:


St. Johns County shall compensate the awarded firm based upon the amounts agreed upon by both parties, through
negotiations, and as provided in the Contract Agreement, or policy. It is strictly understood that the awarded firm is not
entitled to any amount of compensation. Rather, the awarded firms’ compensation shall be based upon the awarded firm’s
adhering to the Scope of Work, detailed in the Contract. As such, the awarded firm’s compensation is dependent upon
satisfactory completion of the required services, provided herein.

St. Johns County’s obligations under the awarded Contract Agreement are subject to the availability of lawfully
appropriated funds. While the County will make all reasonable efforts, in order to provide funds needed to perform under

organization which would have been necessary during the RFP evaluation period in order to comply with this demonstration
of competency section.

G. TERMINATION:
Failure on the part of the awarded firm to comply with any portion of the duties and obligations under the Contract
Agreement shall be cause for termination. If the awarded firm fails to perform any aspect of the responsibilities described
herein, St. Johns County shall provide written notification stating any and all items of non-compliance. The awarded firm
shall then have seven (7) consecutive calendar days to correct any and all items of non-compliance. If the items of non-
compliance are not corrected, or acceptable corrective action, as approved by the County, has not been taken within the
seven (7) consecutive calendar days, the Contract Agreement may be terminated by St. Johns County for cause, upon giving
seven (7) consecutive calendar days written notice to the awarded firm.

In addition to the above, the County may terminate the Contract Agreement, or policy, at any time, without cause, upon
thirty (30) days written notice to the awarded firm.

In the event of termination of the Contract Agreement, or policy, for any reason, the earned fees or other consideration shall

Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form

The term “conflict of interest” refers to situations in which financial or other considerations may adversely affect, or
have the appearance of adversely affecting a consultant’s/contractor’s professional judgment in completing work for
the benefit of St. Johns County (“County”). The bias such conflicts could conceivably impart may inappropriately
affect the goals, processes, methods of analysis or outcomes desired by the County.

Consultants/Contractors are expected to safeguard their ability to make objective, fair, and impartial decisions when
performing work for the benefit of the County. Consultants/Contractors, therefore must there avoid situations in
which financial or other considerations may adversely affect, or have the appearance of adversely affecting the
consultant’s/contractor’s professional judgement when completing work for the benefit of the County.

The mere appearance of a conflict may be as serious and potentially damaging as an actual distortion of goals,
processes, methods of analysis or outcomes. Reports of conflicts based upon appearances can undermine public trust
in ways that may not be adequately restored even when the mitigating facts of a situation are brought to light.
Apparent conflicts, therefore, should be disclosed and evaluated with the same vigor as actual conflicts.

It is expressly understood that failure to disclose conflicts of interest as described herein may result in immediate
disqualification from evaluation or immediate termination from work for the County.

Please check the appropriate statement:

I hereby attest that the undersigned Respondent has no actual or potential conflict of interest due to any
other clients, contracts, or property interests for completing work on the above referenced project.

The undersigned Respondent, by attachment to this form, submits information which may be a potential
conflict of interest due to other clients, contracts or property interests for completing work on the above

Executive Summary

The beaches of St. Johns County represent some of the community’s most treasured assets. Over the
course of the past decade, however, the costs of maintaining the County’s world-class beach system
have outpaced revenue generated by the County’s Beach Services Fund.

One revenue generating option employed by multiple Florida jurisdictions is charging a fee for off-beach
parking. In St. Johns County, residents and non-residents pay a fee for on-beach parking. Off-beach
parking at the County’s 13 county-operated lots and surrounding roadsides is provided free of charge.
Visitors who park in these off-beach lots use the beaches – effectively “consuming” services provided by
the Beach Services Fund – but do not directly contribute to the cost of the beach system’s maintenance
and upkeep. The implementation of an off-beach parking program, in concert with modifying the
existing rate structure for on-beach parking, will move the County towards restoring financial stability in
its Beach Services Fund.

In order to develop an off-beach parking program, create a rate structure, identify options for
implementation, and forecast potential revenue generation, the County hired Public Financial
Management (PFM) to perform a parking implementation study. PFM, in concert with Phillips Parking,
LLC, evaluated multiple strategic options and created a parking revenue projection model to quantify
the financial impacts of updating the County’s parking fee structures.

Major findings include:

• Since FY 2007, the St. Johns County General Fund has subsidized the County’s Beach Services
Fund by nearly $4 million cumulatively. Since FY 2009, Beach Services Fund expenditures have
increased at a rate in excess of 10.0% annually, while revenues – principally from on-beach
parking fees – have declined.

• In Northeast Florida, a handful of jurisdictions charge for off-beach parking. Looking more
broadly throughout the State, however, the standard practice is for communities with beach
access to charge off-beach parking fees to help fund operations.

• The project team recommends establishing separate hourly and daily charges for off-beach
parking, as well as increasing on-beach parking rates. The recommended rate structure will
provide discounts for County residents and annual passes – in line with existing County
practices and standard practices in Florida jurisdictions – while remaining within the
mainstream of jurisdictions with beach access in the State (see the following page for details of
recommended rate structure).

Annual $50 $75 $125
Meter $1 per hour/$12 per day - -

* - Off-beach parking rate included within on-beach parking rate


** - All handicap passes – either daily or annual – would be charged at the resident rate

• While multiple technological options are available to the County, the project team identified a
combination of pay-and-display units, smart meters, and mobile pay-by-phone applications as
the optimum mix of technologies for an off-beach parking program.

• To estimate potential revenue from the new parking program, the project team built a parking
revenue projection model. A new off-beach parking program, coupled with adjustments to the
existing on-beach parking program as outlined in the recommended rate structure, is estimated
to generate $2,214,818 in annual gross revenue for the County’s Beach Services fund in the
baseline forecast (i.e., “base case”).

• In addition to the base case, revenues were forecast in four different scenarios. These
scenarios assumed:

1) Fewer visitors to the County’s beaches (e.g., because of ill-timed inclement weather or
worsening macro-economic conditions);

2) A change in consumer behavior where more annual parking passes were purchased in
lieu of daily passes (thereby decreasing revenue);

3) Off-beach structure with differentiated pricing based on residency mirroring the


current on-beach pricing structure (e.g. handicapped pay the least, residents slightly
more, and non-residents nearly double); and

4) A non-ad valorem fee charged to all County households to pay for annual on-beach and
off-beach parking, coupled with parking charges for non-County residents.

The County’s projected gross revenue from parking services ranged from $1,433,685 (fewer
visitors scenario) to $4,538,022 (non-ad valorem scenario).

* -Reflects gross revenues less operating expenses for an implementation option where parking services are provided by a private contractor
(Option 2). For St. Johns County, net revenue reflects budgeted 2016 on-beach parking fees less budgeted toll collection costs.

** - Uses rate structure in place as of spring 2016, not recommended rate structure (e.g., no charges for off-beach parking). Excludes revenues
collected from permitting and other fees collected by Beach Services.

• The project team evaluated three implementation options – all parking services provided in-
house, contracting out of all parking services, and a hybrid approach mixing elements of in-
house and contracted-out service delivery – in each of the five revenue projection scenarios.

• The contracting-out approach, where an outside firm would administer both on-beach parking
and a new off-beach parking program, maximizes net revenue generation for the County.

• Contracting-out parking services under the baseline scenario would generate an estimated
$1,614,068 in net revenue (revenue less direct costs) to the County in the first year of
implementation and $7,916,349 over the forecast period. See the table on the following page

Demographic and Fiscal Trends
The beaches of St. Johns County represent a prized and valuable community asset that drives population
growth and tourism, and plays a critical role in the County economy.

Residents and visitors have two options to access the County’s beaches with their motor vehicles: on-
beach parking and off-beach parking. On-beach parking is offered at nine access points along the beach
(weather permitting); off-beach parking is offered at thirteen County-owned and operated parking lots
detailed in the table below:

10 Gloria Ave. Minnie St. Walkover 78
11 Frank Butler Park East 116
12 Crescent Beach Park 131
13 Spyglass Walkover 19
Total Off-Beach Parking Spots 1,056

Beach visitors also have the option of parking within right-of-ways and on the roadside in areas near
beach access points and County-operated parking lots.

Demand for beach services by residents and tourists have increased dramatically in recent years. This
increase in demand can be attributed in part to an increase in the number of residents residing in St.
Johns County. As summarized in the table below, the County’s population more than quadrupled from
51,303 in 1980 to 217,919 (estimated 2014) at an annualized rate of approximately 4.3%. Between 2000
and 2014, population growth also remained strong, as the County’s population increased at an
annualized rate of 4.2%.

Similarly, St. Johns County has experienced robust tourism growth in recent years. According to the St.
Johns County Tourist Development Council, between 2013 and 2014, the number of unique visitor
parties increased 14.2% to more than 1.6 million.3

With more residents and visitors comes greater demand for beach use and beach-related infrastructure
(e.g., facilities, rescue personnel, etc.), underscoring the importance of maintaining high-quality beach
services in a fiscally sustainable manner.

In recent years, fiscal pressures have emerged related to the provision of the County’s beach services.
The upkeep and maintenance of the County’s beach system is principally funded through the County’s
Beach Services Fund. Revenues for beach services are generated primarily through beach access user
fees – in FY 2016, nearly 97% of budgeted fee revenues are beach access fees (i.e., on-beach parking
fees).

Beach access fees, however, can be highly volatile, as these types of revenue streams are economically
sensitive and fluctuate according to weather conditions. Over the past 10 years, beach service fees have
ranged between $783,550 and $1,113,565 – a spread of approximately 30%. As illustrated in the figure
on the following page, beach services revenues (i.e., charges for services) for FY 2016 are budgeted to
be below FY 2009 levels – even though beach services expenditures have increased more than 10%
annually.

After falling nearly 50% between FY 2007 and FY 2009, beach services expenditures have grown at an
annual rate of 10.1% – far outpacing revenue growth. Major cost drivers since FY 2009 include: Beach
Services Operating Costs (360.0%), Transfers to the Sheriff (175.0%), as well as Life Saving Corps (54.5%)
and the costs associated with Beach Toll Collection (50.2%).

The combination of stagnant beach revenues and rising expenditures has resulted in a general fund
subsidy to the Beach Services Fund over the past decade. Since FY 2007, the cumulative general fund
subsidy to the Beach Services Fund is approximately $3.86 million. In recent years, the general fund

subsidy has accelerated. Between FY 2013 and FY 2015 the annual general fund subsidy grew from
$290,493 to $915,827, moderating somewhat in FY 2016 to $843,075.

Given the Beach Services Fund’s structural budget deficit, corrective action is required for the fund to
achieve financial self-sufficiency. One approach that may ameliorate the Beach Services Fund’s
structural budget gap is to raise revenue through the implementation of an off-beach parking fee. As
detailed in the following section, many jurisdictions throughout the State of Florida charge hourly, daily,
and/or annual fees for off-beach parking.

Benchmarking
To provide context for parking fee structures in St. Johns County, the project team reviewed off-beach
and on-beach parking structures in St. Johns County, neighboring counties, and other communities with
beach access in the State of Florida. The project team reviewed publicly-available information on beach
parking fees and, where necessary, contacted individual jurisdictions or their parking operators to
confirm rate structures.

In performing comparisons across jurisdictions, there is no “perfect twin.” Differences in off-beach


parking rate structures may vary for multiple reasons, including: jurisdictional revenue mix, quality of
amenities provided, and the availability of on-beach parking. Further, the qualitative “beach
experience” varies considerably by region, where beaches in some areas of the State may be located in
urban areas (e.g., South Florida) and other beaches may be located in more remote locales (e.g., certain
areas of St. Johns County).

In total, the project team reviewed off-beach and on-beach parking (where applicable) for
approximately 80 communities within the State of Florida. General findings from the benchmarking
review include:

• The majority of jurisdictions analyzed charge for off-beach parking, though comparatively fewer
jurisdictions in Northeastern Florida charge for off-beach parking

• Among jurisdictions that charge for off-beach parking, the vast majority offer an annual parking
pass at a discounted rate

• Setting a price differential between residents and non-residents, where non-residents pay a
higher rate, is a common pricing strategy

Additionally, multiple State Parks offering beach access in Northeast Florida, as well as around the State,
charge a per vehicle entrance fee to visitors.

These findings illustrate that within the State of Florida, the vast majority of residents and visitors are
accustomed to paying for off-beach parking. Charging for off-beach parking is a common practice within
Florida communities with beach access. This finding suggests that should St. Johns County implement
an off-beach parking fee, the County would not be placed at a competitive disadvantage relative to
other beach communities within the State.

Additional information about off-beach parking rates in each region is detailed in the pages that follow.

11 | P a g e
Northeastern Florida

Residents and visitors in St. Johns County are accustomed to paying for parking in certain locations. For
example, the County charges daily and annual rates for on-beach parking. Additionally, residents and
visitors pay for parking in other locations within the County as well:

• City of St. Augustine: $1.50 per hour ($0.50 per hour with a ParkNow card) and $12 per entry at
the downtown parking garage

• Anastasia State Park: $4 per single occupant vehicle; $8 per vehicle (2 to 8 occupants)

• Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve: $3 per vehicle

For on-beach parking, Volusia County charges $10 for daily passes, $25 for residents to purchase annual
passes, and $100 for non-resident annual passes. Additionally, to access inlet parks, visitors much pay
$10 per day (regardless of residency). “Combo passes” for both on-beach parking and inlet parks are
$45 for residents, $120 for non-residents.

Among jurisdictions within Volusia County, Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach charge for off-beach
parking:

• Daytona Beach: Parking lots - $1.50/hour, $5.00 for 4 hours, $10.00 for 8 hours; Meter -
$1.00/hour, 6-hour limit; Seasonal Lots – $8.00/day, $6.00/evening

• New Smyrna Beach: $10 daily and $100 annually for off-beach parking; County residents do not
pay for off-beach parking

Among other counties in Northeast Florida:

• Flagler County does not permit on-beach driving and does not charge for off-beach parking

• In Duval County, on-beach parking is not permitted (except in Huguenot Memorial Park);
Jacksonville Beach charges non-residents $5 per day during the summer (no charge for
residents), while Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach do not charge for off-beach parking. For
Huguenot Memorial Park, a daily per-vehicle fee of $5 ($3 before 8:00) and annual vehicle fee of
$99 is levied. Duval County also maintains a County-owned beach in Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park,
where there is a daily per-vehicle entrance fee of $5 and an annual vehicle fee of $99

• In Nassau County, out-of-county residents must purchase a permit for on-beach parking ($5
daily/$25 annually); County residents can park on beaches free of charge. There is no charge for
off-beach parking in Nassau County or Fernandina Beach (in Fernandina Beach, parking and
driving on the beach is allowed in a small area near Sadler Road in front of Seaside Park)

12 | P a g e
Additionally, multiple State Parks in the region charge per vehicle or per person entrance fees. For
example, vehicle-based entrance fees are collected in Duval County, Amelia Island State Park ($2 per
person), Big Talbot Island State Park ($3 per vehicle), and Little Talbot Island State Park ($4 or $5 per
vehicle, depending on occupancy).

Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg

The project team reviewed off-beach parking rates in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota
Counties in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg region. With the exception of St. Petersburg, Tarpon Springs,
and Gulfport, jurisdictions in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties charge for off-beach parking;
jurisdictions in Manatee and Sarasota Counties do not.

Among the eleven jurisdictions reviewed that charge for off-beach parking:

• Eight jurisdictions charge hourly rates for off-beach parking. Hourly rates range from $1
(Clearwater and Indian Shores/Tiki Gardens) to $3 (Clearwater)

• Five jurisdictions offer daily rates for off-beach parking. Daily rates range from $2 (Hillsborough
County) to $12 (Indian Shores/Tiki Gardens and Madeira Beach)

• Four jurisdictions have differentiated pricing built into their rate structures, with beach visitors
paying higher rates at certain locations, times of year, and/or days of the week

Among the eleven jurisdictions that charge for off-beach parking:

• Three jurisdictions do not offer annual passes to residents or non-residents. Accordingly, in


Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores/Tiki Beach, and Tampa, residents and non-residents can only
pay an hourly or daily rate – and do not receive a discount for annual parking

• Three jurisdictions offer an annual pass to residents only – Clearwater, Madeira Beach, and
Treasure Island. Non-residents cannot receive discounts for annual parking in these jurisdictions

• Annual pass costs for residents range from $0 (Madeira Beach) to $75 (Pinellas County and
Clearwater)

No beaches in the region permit on-beach driving.

Southwest Florida

The project team reviewed off-beach parking rates in Charlotte, Collier, and Lee Counties in Southwest
Florida. All nine jurisdictions reviewed charged for off-beach parking:

• Hourly rates range from $0.75 (Charlotte County) to $4.00 (Sanibel Island)

• Two jurisdictions (Collier County and Marco Island) offer daily rates of $8.00 per vehicle
All jurisdictions, with the exception of Alison Hagerup Beach on Captiva Island, offer annual passes:
• Charlotte County charges the same rate ($53.50) for residents and non-residents

• Residents in Collier County pay for parking permits in their property taxes with a portion ($50) of
their ad-valorem taxes paying for a beach permit; non-residents pay $50

• Lee County and Bonita Springs charge the same rate ($60) for residents and non-residents

• The City of Fort Myers Beach offers an annual pass for residents; non-residents can only pay for
off-beach parking through hourly rates

• The City of Sanibel charges a higher annual rate for non-residents than for residents

South Florida

The project team reviewed off-beach parking rates in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties in
South Florida. Throughout South Florida, the common practice is to charge for off-beach parking. Of the
20 jurisdictions reviewed, only two do not charge for off-beach parking (Broward County does not
operate any beaches):

• Key Biscayne (Miami-Dade County) and Jupiter (Palm Beach County) do not charge for off-beach
parking

• Palm Beach County charges for off-beach parking at two beaches; off-beach parking at all other
beaches is free of charge

Among the 17 remaining jurisdictions that charge for off-beach parking:

• Fourteen jurisdictions charge hourly rates ranging from $1 (Fort Lauderdale) to $4 (Miami
Beach)

• Six jurisdictions offer daily rates ranging from $5 (Boynton Beach, low season) to $18 (Boca
Raton, weekends)

• Eight jurisdictions have differentiated pricing built into their rate structures, with beach visitors
paying higher rates at certain locations, times of year, and/or days of the week

• Three jurisdictions do not offer annual passes to residents or non-residents. Accordingly, in


Palm Beach County,7 Miami, and Miami Beach, residents and non-residents can only pay an
hourly or daily rate (Miami) – and do not receive a discount for annual parking

• Ten jurisdictions offer an annual pass to residents only – Boca Raton, Lake Worth, Lantana,
Dania Beach, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea,
Pompano Beach, and Surfside. Non-residents cannot receive discounts for annual parking in
these jurisdictions

• Annual pass costs for residents range from $10.70 (Surfside) to $159.00 (Hollywood)

• Four jurisdictions offer annual passes for non-residents, with costs ranging from $90 (Boynton
Beach) to $318 (Hollywood)

No beaches in South Florida permit on-beach driving.

Recommended Rate Structure
In recommending a rate structure for an off-beach parking program, the project team considered the
following factors:

• The ongoing subsidy of beach services fund from the County general fund

• Parking rate structures in other Florida jurisdictions with beach access

• Transparency and convenience to customers

• Simplicity of collection to the County

• Providing a relative discount to County residents – in line with current practices for on-beach
parking fees

Taking these factors into consideration, the project team Off-Beach Parking Lot at Mickler
recommends implementing a two-pronged rate structure Beachfront Park
for on-beach and off-beach parking – a daily rate and an
annual rate. The project team evaluated an hourly rate as
well, but found an hourly rate impractical in most, but not
all, instances. First, hourly rates would require increased
maintenance for pay-and-display units, as paper reams
would run out more regularly requiring a higher cost of
service. Second, a daily rate will require fewer resources to
be directed towards parking enforcement relative to an
hourly rate structure. Third, a daily rate allows beachgoers
to pay once for parking, and not have to return to their
vehicles for the remainder of their visit to the beach.

Accordingly, for off-beach parking, the project team recommends implementing the following two-
pronged rate structure:

• Daily Rate: $5
• Annual Permit: $50

Individuals who purchase off-beach parking passes will have access to all County-owned off-beach
parking lots, roadside parking near County parking lots, as well as parking meters. There is no discount
offered to County residents. These off-beach parking rates do not include on-beach parking.

Similarly, for on-beach parking, the project team recommends implementing a two-pronged rate
structure:

• Daily Rate: $10 County resident/$15 non-County resident

18 | P a g e
• Annual Permit: $75 County resident/$125 non-County resident

Individuals who purchase on-beach parking will have access to both on-beach and off-beach parking.

As is a common practice among Florida beach communities – and is consistent with St. Johns County’s
current rate structure for on-beach parking – a higher rate is charged for non-County residents. Further,
the rate structure is designed to create an incentive for those individuals who use the beach most often
– County residents – to purchase the annual permit for $75 and therefore pay the lowest per unit cost
for parking.

As is illustrated in the tables below, under the recommended consolidated rate structure, the cost for an
annual parking permit for County residents will increase from $40 to $75. Under the recommended
consolidated rate structure, however, the new rates will include both on-beach and off-beach parking.

Current St. Johns County Parking Rates

Daily - - $6 $8
Annual - - $40 $60

Recommended St. Johns County Parking Rates

Off-Beach Parking On-Beach Parking*


Pass Type Resident Non-Resident Resident Non-Resident
Daily $5 $10 $15
Annual $50 $75 $125

* - Off-beach parking rate included within on-beach parking rate

All handicap passes – either daily or annual – would be charged at the resident rate.

Additionally, on-beach parking rates would be lowered during the off-season, defined as November 1st
through February 28th (29th in a leap year). During the off-season, daily passes for on-beach parking
would decline from $10 resident/$15 non-resident to $5 per day – the same rate as off-beach parking.
Annual passes are valid throughout the off-season.

In Vilano Beach, where on-street parking has high turnover in commercial areas, the County may
consider installing smart parking meters. Since visits to these areas are anticipated to be of a shorter
duration compared to day-long visits to beach areas, a rate structure comprised of an hourly rate
coupled with a daily rate is recommended:

19 | P a g e
• Hourly rate: $1 per hour Vilano Beach – Candidate for Smart
• Daily rate: $12 per day Meters & Hourly Parking
Pay-and-display units may be considered in lieu of
smart parking meters. However, in high-volume areas
pay-and-display units may run out of paper and require
additional servicing. Regardless of which technology is
used, the pay-and-display or a smart meter, the off-
beach parking spots for Vilano Beach will be strong
candidates for hourly parking.

Customers purchasing an annual or daily pass would be


able to park at metered spots for no additional charge.

During peak periods of demand, when many of the


County’s off-beach parking lots are full, beachgoers
park on the side of the road or in right-of-ways. To
prevent spillover outside of paid parking lots, the Roadside Parking Spots Adjacent to
county should charge for parking in these areas as well Mickler Beachfront Park
and provide signage alerting beachgoers to the new
requirement. Visitors to the beach would be able to
purchase daily passes through pay-and-display units,
use a pay-by-phone application (e.g., ParkMobile or
PayByPhone), or annual passes.

20 | P a g e
Technologies
The project team evaluated multiple parking technologies to determine the most appropriate fit for an
off-beach parking program. Technologies evaluated include:

• Parking Meters: Single or double-headed meters that usually take coins only for payment

• Smart Meters: Similar technology as parking meters, but with the ability to accept credit and
debit cards as well

• Pay-and-Display Units: Allow the customer to purchase a ticket Pay-and-Display Unit


that is placed on their dashboard to show payment. They can
be integrated with parking applications, and accept cash, credit
cards, debit cards, coins, as well as proprietary payment cards.
These units can work on solar energy for a small lot or a short
period of time. Multiple machines can be placed together or
spread throughout the lot

• Pay-in-Lane: A pay machine placed in a lane that requires a gate


to allow access to the facility or lot. Works well in situations
with a long throat to the parking lot or smaller volume; a
suboptimal arrangement for lots with multiple entrances, large
volume, or short entrances to the parking lot

• Pay-by-Phone Parking Apps: Multiple smartphone parking applications are available that allow
customers to pay for a space on their personal mobile device. The app is linked to a credit card,
and a service fee is charged to the
customer each time the app is used to pay ParkNow Card – City of St. Augustine
for parking. Most apps interact with hand-
held enforcement devices, sending a list of
paid customers to the enforcement
personnel. They can also be custom made
for a particular entity

• Proprietary Pre-Paid Payment Cards:


Much like a subway card or bus pass,
customers pay a small fee to purchase a
card that stores value. Using a pay-and-
display unit, customers pre-pay for
parking, with money debited from the
card when the customer pays for parking

21 | P a g e
The City of St. Augustine uses this technology through its “ParkNow” Card, where customers can
purchase increments of $20, $30, or $50 on a card,
Smart Meters
and in return, pay a discounted rate on parking at
City-owned lots and parking garages. Parking rates
in the city are $1.50/hour without the ParkNow
card, $0.50/hour for ParkNow cardholders.
Customers must pay a one-time charge of $2.50 for
the card

In St. Johns County, the most appropriate off-beach parking


technology solution will satisfy the following criteria:

• Provide a convenient user experience, allowing


customers to pay quickly and effortlessly
Parking App
• Allow the County to easily and transparently collect
parking revenue

• Minimize enforcement requirements on County


employees

Given these considerations, the project team recommends the


following parking technologies to be implemented in an off-
beach parking program:

• Pay-and-Display Units: Place 27 pay-and-display units


across the County’s 13 beach parking lots. Pay-and-
display units are used by multiple jurisdictions
throughout Florida and the country and are easy to use
and maintain

• Smart Meters: Place smart meters for street parking


near Vilano Beach. Given that these are high-volume
parking areas, this should be the one area where
customers can be charged hourly rates

• Pay-by-Phone Parking Apps: Use one of the major


mobile parking applications (e.g., ParkMobile or
PayByPhone) to offer customers the option of paying
for daily rates at beach lots or hourly rates where
smart meters are installed

22 | P a g e
Additionally, the County may consider using a proprietary payment card, similar to the City of St.
Augustine’s “ParkNow” card. The County proprietary pre-payment card – or “Beach Card” – would allow
customers to pre-pay for parking.

Under this arrangement, customers would purchase a “Beach Card” for a small fee, and use the card at
all County pay-and-display units and smart meters. Annual passes for on-beach and off-beach parking
could be administered through a Beach Card, and customers could receive discounts on daily or hourly
parking rates (e.g., purchase three days of off-beach parking get the fourth day free or hourly rates of
less than a $1 per hour).

Some of the advantages and disadvantages of a proprietary prepaid payment card are summarized
below:

Revenue Projections

To estimate the potential revenue from on-beach and off-beach parking, the project team created a
parking revenue projection model and loaded the model with five distinct scenarios. Each scenario
assumes a different set of underlying assumptions. As a whole, the scenarios provide a range of possible
revenue outcomes depending on: exogenous factors (e.g., bad weather), type of parking rate structure
selected (e.g., the recommended rate structure or another version), or funding source (e.g., a non-ad
valorem levy on all households).

The principal scenario in the revenue projection model is the Baseline Forecast, or the “base case.” The
baseline forecast uses historical on-beach parking pass data as a starting point for forecasting parking
revenue. Additional assumptions regarding how many vehicles are in each off-beach parking lot (i.e.,
“parking lot capacity”) are layered into the model to estimate the number and types of off-beach passes
sold, and the total amount of off-beach parking revenue generated. Within the baseline forecast,
$2,214,818 in revenue is generated.

To supplement the baseline forecast, the project team developed four alternative revenue forecast
scenarios. The first two scenarios, “Change in Consumer Behavior” and “Fewer Visitors to County
Beaches” assume that exogenous factors, such as a consumer preference for annual passes and bad
weather, negatively affect revenue generation. The second two scenarios, “Off-Beach Differentiated”
and “Non-Ad Valorem” assume a different parking rate structure relative to the baseline forecast, and
the levy of a $50 non-ad valorem fee on all households, respectively.

Additional information about each of the alternative scenarios is summarized below:

• Change in Consumer Behavior presumes that the recommended rate structure catalyzes a
change in consumer behavior – more beach visitors purchase annual passes in place of daily
passes, decreasing off-beach revenue relative to total on-beach revenue. Consequently, the
number of resident and non-resident visitors remains consistent with the base case, but the
amount of revenue collected declines because fewer daily passes are purchased. Forecasted
annual revenue declines 19.0% relative to the base case to $1,795,024.

• Fewer Visitors to County Beaches presumes a smaller number of visitors to St. Johns County
beaches because of inclement weather or worsening macro-economic conditions (e.g., a
recession that affects consumer discretionary spending, thereby decreasing the number of out-
of-town tourists who travel to St. Johns County). Consequently, the total number of passes
purchased declines across-the-board, materially decreasing the amount of off-beach and on-
beach revenue collected. Forecasted annual revenue declines 35.3% relative to the base case
to $1,433,685.

• Off-Beach Differentiated presumes the same distribution of on-beach and off-beach parking
passes are purchased as in the baseline forecast, however, a different parking rate structure is

24 | P a g e
applied. Off-beach parking rates are “differentiated” – annual off-beach parking rates are
higher for non-residents ($95) than residents ($55). Peak daily rates rise from $5 to $10,
regardless of residency. Handicap rates remain unchanged relative to the baseline forecast. As
a result of higher daily off-beach parking rates, forecasted annual revenue increases 27.1%
relative to the base case to $2,814,112.

• Non-Ad Valorem presumes that a non-ad valorem fee of $50 will be levied on all St. Johns
County households (estimated at 74,089). In turn, all households will receive a pass for on-
beach and off-beach parking. Within the revenue projection model, this assumption translates
to the purchasing of 74,089 annual on-beach resident passes; daily resident passes decrease to
zero. For non-residents, the parking rate structure is the same as the base case, except that no
parking meters will be installed and handicapped motorists park at no charge. Forecasted
annual revenue more than doubles (104.9%) relative to the baseline forecast to $4,538,022.

The table below summarizes the differences in each of these alternative scenarios versus the baseline
forecast and budgeted FY 2016 parking revenue:

On-beach parking inputs in the baseline forecast were based on historical data collected by the St. Johns
County Department of Parks and Recreation Beach Services Division. The project team reviewed on-
beach passes by type for 2013, 2014, and 2015 and used three-year averages to estimate the number of
on-beach passes sold in the base case. To normalize comparisons across fiscal years, the project team
assumed customers who bought three-day passes bought daily passes, and customers who purchased
military and twilight passes purchased non-resident daily passes with a 75% discount factor applied. See
the appendix for additional detail on historical off-beach parking pass sales.

The two tables that follow summarize the on-beach parking pass assumptions used for the baseline
forecasts using historical three-year averages:

For off-beach parking assumptions, historical data were not available as the County does not currently
charge for off-beach parking. Since the price differential between annual residential on-beach and off-
beach parking passes is only $25, the project team assumed the total number of off-beach annual passes
would equal one-fourth (25%) of the total number of annual on-beach passes. Accordingly, the baseline
forecast assumes that 1,395 annual off-beach parking passes will be sold in FY 2017.

Baseline Forecast Assumptions – Off-Beach Parking (Annual Passes)

Pass Type Price Number Sold


Resident $50 1,075
Non-Resident $50 180
Handicap $50 140
Total - 1,395

To estimate the number of daily off-beach passes issued, the project team used a three-step process.
First, the project team estimated the total number of parking and meter spaces where the County would
charge for off-beach parking:

• Off-beach parking lots: 1,011 spaces at 13 County lots

• Handicap parking spots: 45 spaces at the 13 County lots

• Roadside parking spots: 200 estimated spaces near and around the 13 County lots

• Smart Meter Spaces: 120 estimate roadside spaces in Vilano Beach

Second, the project team generated an assumption of how full (capacity rate) the County’s off-beach
parking spaces would be at a given time of year or day of the week. A capacity rate of 100% signifies
that one car will park within each space in a given lot over the course of one day. Higher capacity rates

30 | P a g e
(i.e., lots are fuller) were assumed for weekends, and during the peak season (defined as March 1st
through October 31st).

To account for customers who purchase on-beach passes and annual off-beach passes, the baseline
forecast assumes conservative capacity rates. For example, during the peak summer season, the
County’s lots will be full, with multiple vehicles parking in the same space over the course of the day.
This implies a capacity rate in excess of 100% when accounting for turnover in each spot. For the
purposes of revenue projection, however, the baseline forecast only assumes a capacity rate of 75%
during peak periods. This conservative assumption accounts for customers who purchase on-beach
passes and annual off-beach passes, and who park in off-beach parking lots.

The table below details the assumed capacity rates and the estimated number of daily off-beach passes
sold in the baseline forecast.

*- Capacity rates represent the percentage of spaces occupied by Daily Pass holders

Third, based on in-person observations, the project team estimated 120 metered spaces could be
striped in the Vilano Beach area. To determine the amount of revenue metered spaces could generate,
estimates were developed concerning how many hours each meter would be in use daily. These
estimates are summarized in the table on the following page.

“Change in Consumer Behavior” Scenario

The “Change in Consumer Behavior” scenario presumes beach visitors purchase annual passes in lieu of
daily passes. The scenario assumes the following changes in assumptions relative to the baseline
forecast:

• On-beach parking: Number of annual passes sold increase 50%; number of daily passes sold
decrease 40%

• Off-beach parking: Number of annual passes sold increase 50%; consequently, daily pass
capacity rates for peak weekend decline from 75% to 50%, peak week decline from 25% to 15%,
off-peak weekend decline from 10% to 5.0%, and off-peak week decline from 5.0% to 2.5%; all
meter capacity rates decline 50%

As detailed in the table below, relative to the base case scenario, total revenue in the “Change in
Consumer Behavior” scenario decreases from $2,214, 818 to $1,795,024 – a decline of 19.0%.

“Off-Beach Differentiated” Scenario

The “Off-Beach Differentiated” scenario presumes the same distribution and number of passes sold as
the baseline forecast, with a different rate structure for off-beach parking. The scenario assumes the
following changes in assumptions relative to the baseline forecast:

• On-beach parking: The rate structure is the same as the baseline forecast – $10/$15
(resident/non-resident) for daily peak, $5 (residents and non-residents) for daily off-peak, and
$75/$125 for annual (residents and non-residents)

• Off-beach parking: The off-beach parking rates are “differentiated” similar to the on-beach
parking structure. Daily rates are $10 during the peak season and $5 during the off-peak
season, regardless of residency. Annual off-beach rates are higher for non-residents. The
differences in off-beach parking rates between the baseline forecast and the off-beach
differentiated scenario are summarized in the table below:

“Non-Ad Valorem” Scenario Detail

The “Non-Ad Valorem” scenario presumes that a non-ad valorem fee of $50 will be levied on all St.
Johns County households. The scenario assumes the following changes in assumptions relative to the
baseline forecast:

• On-beach parking: Resident annual passes increase from 4,299 to 74,089 as all St. Johns County
households purchase passes. Handicapped motorists are not charged a parking fee. Otherwise,
non-resident daily and annual pass rate structures and distributions are the same as the base
case.

• Off-beach parking: Residents do not purchase any separate passes for off-beach parking; off-
beach parking is included within the annual non-ad valorem fee. No parking meters are
installed. Capacity rates in parking lots are lowered to 25% during peak weekends, 10% during
peak weekdays, and 0% for other periods of the year as a measure to conservatively forecast
revenue generated from non-residents and to avoid potential double-counting of off-beach
parking revenue. Otherwise, non-resident rate structures are the same as the base case.

As detailed in the table below, relative to the baseline forecast, total revenue in the “Non-Ad Valorem”
scenario increases from $2,214,818 to $4,538,022 (104.9%).

As detailed in the two tables that follow, projected on-beach revenue in the “Non-Ad Valorem” scenario
is 245.1% higher than the baseline scenario. Within the parking revenue projection model, all revenue
collected from the household levy is considered on-beach revenue. Off-beach revenue declines
markedly relative to the baseline forecast, as capacity rates for each parking lot are lowered, and no
revenue is collected from parking meters.

Implementation
To support a robust off-beach parking program so that customers can easily and conveniently pay for
parking, the project team estimates approximately 27 pay-and-display units are required for the
County’s current number of off-beach parking spaces. This figure is based upon the approximate
assumption of one pay-and-display unit for every forty spaces. The table below details the
recommended number of pay-and-display units at each of the County’s off-beach parking locations.

Totals 1,056 27

During the off-season, one pay-and-display unit should be relocated to the entrance of each beach
access point so that individuals who park on the beach can easily pay for parking as they enter the
beach.

In addition to the 27 pay-and-display units located at off-beach parking lots, the project team
recommends the installation of approximately 60 dual-head smart parking meters on Vilano Beach. As
discussed previously, smart meters with an hourly rate structure would be appropriate for Vilano Beach
given the higher turnover of street parking spaces in the area. Further, the inclusion of a pay-by-phone
parking app (e.g., ParkMobile or PayByPhone) would provide additional convenience to visitors who may
be accustomed to using the technology in other jurisdictions.

The final number of pay-and-display units and smart meters may vary according to multiple factors. For
example, should the County decide to use a private contractor, the contractor may advocate for the use
of additional or fewer units/meters depending on traffic flow. Alternatively, if the County were to
designate a larger number of roadside parking spaces outside of off-beach parking lots, additional pay-
and-display units may be required.

44 | P a g e
Considering the technological options (pay-and-display units, smart meters, and mobile parking
applications) and the recommended rate structure, the project team developed three principal
approaches to implementing a comprehensive parking program for St. Johns County. These three
approaches, or options, include:

• Perform the function in-house: Create a parking enforcement operation, which would require
the hiring of new employees. In addition to ongoing operating costs, the County would need to
provide for upfront capital costs, install the necessary parking equipment, and purchase the
vehicles required for enforcement. In return, the County would retain 100% of revenue
collected and have complete control over parking revenue and enforcement operations

• Contract-out services: Hire a third-party to manage both on-beach and off-beach parking
arrangements. Capital and operating costs would be foregone, but the County would also
forgo a significant portion of parking revenue. A private firm may collect up to 50% of all off-
beach and on-beach parking revenue generated to recoup the costs associated with providing
parking equipment, servicing the machines, collecting revenue, and performing enforcement.
Under this scenario, the county would no longer need to employ seasonal part-time employees
to collect tolls for on-beach revenue, which would also lower the County’s cost of revenue
collection

• Hybrid approach: Use a mix of in-house employees and a private contractor. The private
contractor would oversee the off-beach parking program, including the installation and
maintenance of all pay-and-display units and smart meters. Additionally, working in concert
with the Sheriff’s Department, the private contractor could handle all enforcement. The
County would continue to run the on-beach parking program. Off-beach parking revenues
would be split with the private contractor, while the County would retain all on-beach parking
revenues

The successful contracting out of services requires a healthy market with multiple qualified firms that
can provide the required service, as well as the ability to accurately monitor the performance of the firm
providing the service. To effectively monitor contractor performance, the County can place revenue
targets within the contract or create revenue sharing structures that align contractor performance with
County interests. Financial metrics can be supplemented with customer surveys to ensure that
contractors’ interactions with the public are professional and courteous.

There are multiple firms that provide a suite of parking services for jurisdictions. The presence of
multiple firms creates competition for services, lessening the ability of one contractor to exert outsized
supplier power on the County through quasi-monopolistic cost structures. Moreover, the County may
periodically re-bid a contract with a private vendor to ensure that it receives competitive pricing and can
leverage new technological developments.

Parking services firms active within Florida that provide services that might be used by St. Johns County
in an off-beach parking program include:

45 | P a g e
• 717 Parking
• AAA Parking
• ABM Parking
• Denison Parking
• Faneuil Inc.
• Lanier Parking
• Laz Parking
• Grove Parking
• ProPark
• Republic Parking
• Standard Parking

Further, within Florida, multiple jurisdictions use a private firm to deliver part of their parking services
function. Examples include:

Florida Jurisdictions That Outsource a Portion of Parking Services*

Jurisdiction13 Parking Services Firm


Volusia County Faneuil
Daytona Beach Laz Parking
Hollywood Standard Parking
Clearwater Standard Parking
Pompano Beach Denison Parking

* - The above table is illustrative, not a comprehensive list of all jurisdictions that use a private contractor for
parking services

Within Northeast Florida, three jurisdictions outsource all or a portion of their parking services:

• Daytona Beach: all parking services are outsourced

• New Smyrna Beach: enforcement and revenue collection is outsourced

• Volusia County: all parking services except for enforcement are outsourced14

Within the State of Florida, enforcement of parking violations can be issued by private firms, as long as
the employee issuing the ticket is a certified parking enforcement specialist. Certified parking
enforcement specialists receive training approved by Criminal Justice Standards and Training
Commission, but do not otherwise meet the uniform standards established by the Commission for law
enforcement officers or auxiliary part-time officers (e.g., parking enforcement specialists do not have

arrest powers).15 Coordination with the Sheriff’s Office would be required to determine the policies for
ticketing vehicles in off-beach parking lots and right-of-ways.

The principal tradeoff in contracting-out services is the tension between lower costs and easier
administration versus the loss of operational control of a public service. A well-designed Request for
Proposals (RFP) and thoughtfully executed contract agreement, however, can result in a high-level of
service delivery at a lower cost to the public.

Pro-Forma Projections

To evaluate implementation options, the project team developed a series of pro-forma projections for
each option listed below:

• Perform the function in-house: Create a parking enforcement operation run by County
employees; the County would purchase all necessary equipment

• Contract-out services: Hire a third-party to manage both on-beach and off-beach parking
arrangements

• Hybrid approach: A private contractor would oversee the off-beach parking program, while
the County would continue to run the on-beach parking program

The project team estimated the net revenue (gross revenues less direct costs) that the County would
expect to collect for each option, in each of the five revenue projection scenarios. As summarized in the
table below, Option 2 where a private contractor manages off-beach and on-beach parking generates
the highest amount of net revenue in Year 1 as well as over the course of a five-year forecast period.

As a point of comparison, net revenue from on-beach parking fees – netting out the cost of on-beach toll
collection – in FY 2016 is budgeted at $610,045. Net revenue collected by the County – again,
accounting for the cost of on-beach toll collection – totaled $2,820,356 between FY 2012 and FY 2016
(FY 2015 and FY 2016 are budgeted; all other fiscal years are based on historical actuals).

The pages that follow provide additional detail and analysis regarding the assumptions used to generate
net revenue estimates for each of the three implementation options. Additional detail can be found in
the appendix of this report.

Option 1 – Perform Services In-House

Administering an off-beach parking program in-house would require a substantial outlay for materials,
equipment and personnel. St. Johns County does not employ a parking services or parking enforcement
division – the County Sheriff enforces all traffic violations, including parking violations.

To provide parking services directly, the County would have to incur an estimated $556,500 in upfront
capital costs for approximately 27 pay-and-display units, 60 dual-headed parking meters, as well as
associated installation and connection costs. Additionally, the county would need to purchase a small
fleet of vehicles to administer enforcement.

Year 1 capital and operating costs would total $1,287,705 for the off-beach parking program – covering
the salaries and benefits of seven parking enforcement employees, fuel and maintenance for vehicles,
equipment, software, and maintenance of parking equipment. The County would continue to incur the
costs associated with toll collection for off-beach parking, budgeted at $334,955 in 2016. Further, the
County would incur additional indirect costs associated with overhead (e.g., human resources,
procurement, legal, etc.) that are not included in the analysis. Out-year operating costs would grow
according to the cost of service, with many cost drivers likely to increase above forecasted rates of
inflation (e.g., healthcare benefits, fuel prices are at multi-year lows, etc.).

Under Option 1, the County would receive 100% of revenues generated from all off-beach and on-beach
parking activities. Using the baseline forecast, approximately $927,000 in net revenue is generated in
Year 1, assuming the County purchases all necessary capital equipment in Year 1 without financing. Pay-
and-display units and smart meters have an expected useful life of between seven and fourteen years,
depending on usage and weather patterns. Over the five-year forecast period, net revenues realized by
the County grow to approximately $1.4 million, as capital expenditures are not required for the out
years. Net revenues erode slightly from a peak of $1,465,333 in Year 2 over the forecast period to
account for estimated increases in the cost of service. Total net revenue generated over the five-year
forecast period is estimated at $6,674,135.

The tables on the following page detail the estimated capital and operating costs associated with
implementing an in-house parking program in year 1, as well as a five-year cost pro-forma projections
assuming blended cost growth of 2.5% annually.

Note – Operating costs assumed to grow 2.5% in out-years

Option 2 – Contract-Out Off-Beach and On-Beach Parking Operations – Recommended Option

In contrast to Option 1, contracting out of all off-beach and on-beach parking services would not require
that St. Johns County outlay large sums of capital for parking equipment or vehicles, nor would the
County need to hire any full-time employees. Instead, a private contractor would purchase the
equipment and cover the costs of installation. In this option, the contractor would also handle all
equipment servicing, revenue collection, and enforcement activities – the County purchase of vehicles
and hand-held equipment would not be necessary. Since the vendor would oversee revenue collection
for on-beach parking, the County’s direct cost for on-beach toll collection would decline from $334,955
to $0.

50 | P a g e
Parking service agreements with local jurisdictions may be structured as a percent of revenue or based
on a fixed fee. To estimate the costs associated with a contractor in Option 2, the project team assumed
the contractor would receive a fixed fee of $1,500 per month per pay-and-display unit plus $8,750 per
month for three “parking ambassadors” to assist with compliance and enforcement. As detailed in the
table below, these assumptions yield an annual operating cost of approximately $600,750 in Year 1.
These estimates are based on conversations the project team had with a parking operator active in
Florida, and mirror the rate structure in place for a Florida community with beach access.

Estimated Annual Cost (Year 1) $600,750

[1] Figured based on conversation with parking operator active in Florida


[2] Assumes annualized costs of: salary and benefits for 3 employees ($60,000 per EE) + vehicle and gas for three vehicles ($24,000
per vehicle) + 25% gross margin
[3] Peak season equals 8 months; assumes frequency of collection and enforcement declines to 1/4 in off-season (equals one
additional months of costs)

Additionally, most parking contractors offer the option to amortize the cost of equipment over a multi-
year time period. In this instance, the County would own all parking equipment (e.g., pay-and-display
and smart meters) outright after the multi-year time frame (e.g., after five years). Accordingly, after five
years, the contractor’s cost should decline, resulting in higher net revenues to the County in Year 6. Pay-
and-display units and smart meters can be expected to have useful lives that range from seven to
fourteen years, depending on usage and weather patterns.

Under Option 2, the County would incur no operating and capital costs, as the contractor would assume
all costs associated with setting up and operating the off-beach and on-beach parking programs. In the
baseline forecast, the County is estimated to receive 72.9% of revenues generated from all off-beach
and on-beach parking activities in Year 1 – approximately $1,583,270 in net revenue is generated
annually for an estimated total of $7,916,349 over the five-year forecast period. Though not shown in
the forecast, after year 6 – assuming a five-year amortization of all parking equipment – the contractor’s
share of revenue would decline, increasing net revenue to the County. The table below presents a five-
year pro-forma for Option 2, assuming contractor costs of $600,750 in Year 1 inflated 2.5% annually over
the forecast period.

Note – Operating costs assumed to grow 2.5% in out-years

Option 3 – Hybrid Approach

Option 3 presents a hybrid approach to parking implementation – a contractor oversees off-beach


parking and the County continues to run the on-beach parking program. As with Option 2, the County
would not provide upfront outlays for capital equipment. Instead, the private contractor would provide
the equipment (financed over a multi-year period through a share of off-beach revenue) required for
off-beach parking. The County would continue to incur expenses for on-beach toll collection – budgeted
for $334,955 in FY 2016.

The contractor costs assumptions in Option 3 mirror the cost assumptions in Option 2 – $1,500 per
month for 27 pay-and-display units. As the County would continue to collect on-beach parking revenue
under Option 3, however, no costs associated with parking ambassadors are assumed. As with Option 2,
it is assumed that the County would own all parking equipment outright after a five-year time period.

baseline forecast, an average of $1,479,505 in net revenue is generated annually for an estimated total
of $7,397,523 over the five-year forecast period. Though not shown in the forecast, after Year 6 –

Since 2013, approximately 82% of passes issued for on-beach parking have been daily passes. As
illustrated in the chart below, more than 70,000 on-beach passes are issued each year. Over this same
time period, annual passes have comprised only 8% of total passes issued (5,557 annually, on average).

and annual passes were issued to non-residents. This number may be higher, given that the County’s
rate structure does not differentiate between resident and non-resident handicap passes.
