BACKGROUND:
The City's existing commuter pay-by-space machines at the Naperville and Route 59 Metra train stations have reached the end of their service life. The machines have been discontinued by the manufacturer and upgrades can no longer be made to the software or hardware. Additionally, the machines are not able to be updated to adapt to ongoing changes in the requirements of the financial industry.
The City currently has twelve DPT Shelby pay-by-space payment machines; five machines are located at the Naperville Metra Station and seven at the Route 59 (north) Metra Station. City staff conducted an analysis on usage of all twelve machines and determined that the total number of pay-by-space payment machines could be reduced to nine machines, saving up front and ongoing maintenance costs.
DISCUSSION:
In January 2017, the TED Business Group issued RFP 17-002 soliciting proposals for the purchase, installation, maintenance and management of nine pay-by-space payment machines. Four machines will replace existing machines at the Naperville Metra station and five machines will replace existing machines at the Route 59 Metra station.
