Warnings and Abandoned Notices will not be sent over: - Citation information - Citation image - Officer notes (not included on the citation) - Photos [Answer] See the answer to question #12 above. 17) Please confirm that issuing violations to abandoned vehicles is being issued to the vehicle, rather than to an individual or property. [Answer] Parking violations, including abandoned vehicles violations, are issued against the vehicle, however, the person ultimately responsible is the registered owner (RO). When PD is notified of an abandoned vehicle they will leave an "Abandoned Vehicle Notice" on the vehicle and at the end of the day, a letter is printed from the system and mailed to the registered owner. Several days later, if the vehicle is still there, a ticket/citation is issued (that info is sent to the Court) and the vehicle may be towed.

[Answer] The transfer of data and images is one-wayLhowever, the VRV system will send back a success or failure message. We need to be able to view this status either from within the Parking Citation System (preferably on the ticket's history/audit trail) or from the interface tool. 20) Please confirm if all payments and appeals will be through the Court rather than through the Parking Citation System customer portal? [Answer] Confirmed. All payments, appeals and court scheduling are processed through the Court and the Court system. a. If additionally through the Parking Citation System customer portal, does the City have a current relationship with an internet payment gateway (IPG)? [Answer] n/a 21) Please confirm how many concurrent users will be required to access at any one time the Parking Citation System (not including enforcement officers)? [Answer] For concurrent users, I do not see more than 2 or 3. (Other users would be the PD enforcement officers' supervisor, Court to confirm ticket transfer to the Court system, IT for support purposes and PD Staff Services to view historical records and possibly printing Abandoned Vehicle letters.) 22) How many parking tickets were issued last year? [Answer] In 2018 4,623 valid violations and 261 voided violations were issued through the current parking citation system (in some cases there are two violations per ticket). 23) What was the revenue from these parking tickets? [Answer] $256,193 Total fines for those violations in 2018. 24) What was the collection percentage on these parking tickets? [Answer] I am uncertain of this as collections and receipts are not processed through the current parking citation system and are out of scope of this RFP/project. 25) Will a daily file transfer of citation data to the Courts be acceptable? [Answer] A daily transfer would be the minimum. We are hoping more frequently for those who come to pay at the Court on the same day the ticket was issued. 26) The RFP states that the system will be primarily used by two enforcement officers, does this mean the City is only looking for 2 hand held devices? [Answer] The City will be purchasing a minimum of three (3) handheld devices. Two (2) for production use and at least one as a backup or spare. 27) How many abandoned vehicle notices were issued last year? [Answer] 1,451 abandoned vehicle notices were issued in 2018. 28) 3.1.5 — Please clarify what format citation data and images need to be in for consumption by the Washington Courts Data Exchange VRV. [Answer] See the answer to question #12 above. 29) Does the city intend to issue Abandoned Vehicle notices from a hand held device or are the hand written? [Answer] They are currently issued from the same handheld device, and it is the intent of the new system to do the same. 30) Please explain the current process for issuing Abandoned Vehicle notices. [Answer] See the answer to question #17 above. 31) Who is the Cities current vendor? [Answer] See the answer to question #1 above. 32) Please submit a copy of a recent billing notice for the Cities current vendor.
