COMMISSION ITEMS

The City of Coral Gables Parking Advisory Board is considering a new program for Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs), which are similar to golf carts. These vehicles are currently allowed on roads with speed limits of 25 mph or lower, typically in residential areas. The proposed program would require permits for LSVs, each with a unique tag number. This will help with enforcement and allow for payment collection. Payments will be accepted through Pay-by-Phone and ParkMobile apps, with citations issued for non-payment. This program is currently under review. The project will involve developing a permitting system, implementing payment processing through mobile apps, and establishing a citation enforcement process. This could create opportunities for businesses involved in technology solutions for parking and payment systems, as well as those providing services related to vehicle identification and enforcement. Early engagement could be beneficial as the program details are still being finalized.

EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

The City of Coral Gables Parking Advisory Board is reviewing updates to parking enforcement technology and policies. This includes a new license plate recognition system on enforcement vehicles to identify vehicles with unpaid parking tickets or impound orders, and to track real-time payment status. A survey on Miracle Mile identified significant misuse of disabled placards, leading to increased enforcement efforts to reduce invalid permits and open spaces for legitimate users. The city plans to enhance monitoring of residential and time-limited parking through virtual permits integrated with payment apps, allowing enforcement to track parking durations. Additionally, pay-by-phone services will limit parking extensions to increase space turnover, and new valet services are planned for the 300 south block of Miracle Mile. This ongoing review and implementation of new technology and services presents opportunities for contractors and suppliers in areas such as technology installation, software integration, and potentially valet services. Early engagement before final plans and permits are issued could be advantageous.

GARAGE MAINTENANCE & PRESSURE WASHING CONTRACT UPDATE

The City of Coral Gables Parking Advisory Board is reviewing an update on a new interior pressure washing contract for four parking garages. This contract is set to begin with work starting the night of the meeting. The work involves interior cleaning of the garages, including stairwells, with two levels cleaned each day. Prices for cleaning each facility interior range from $5,500 to $13,000. A separate exterior cleaning contract is also in the final stages of insurance review and is expected to start within the next month. This project will involve site preparation and cleaning services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the scope and potential for future work as these contracts are finalized.

MOBILITY & SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE

The City of Coral Gables is planning a new Community Compost Drop-Off Program at the Coral Gables Library. This program will involve installing two 45-gallon bins inside an exterior locked bin. Renuable will service these bins twice weekly. The city has provided $6,000 in funding to cover membership costs for residents. This initiative is currently under review and is planned to launch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 20. The project will require site preparation for bin installation, ongoing waste management services, and potentially digital services for resident sign-ups and access. Local contractors, waste management providers, and digital service companies may find opportunities as this program moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial before final service agreements and operational details are set.

MOBILITY HUB UPDATE

The City of Coral Gables is planning a Mobility Hub, a facility designed to connect various transportation methods for easier access to public transit. Walker Consultants has been hired to help with the functional design, which focuses on how the hub will operate. This project is currently under review. The development of this Mobility Hub will likely involve site preparation, construction of the facility, and installation of systems to support different transportation modes. Contractors specializing in site work, general construction, electrical, and potentially specialized transportation infrastructure could find opportunities. Engaging early, before detailed plans and bids are finalized, offers the best chance to compete for this upcoming work.
