The City of Spokane issued a comprehensive Request for Proposals (RFP 5315‑20) to replace its existing parking‑management infrastructure. The solicitation called for an integrated suite consisting of a Citation Management System (CMS), a Permit Management System (PMS), and a mobile License‑Plate‑Recognition (LPR) system, each supporting web‑based portals, 24/7 IVR, PCI‑Level 1 payment processing, open‑API integration, and optional boot/towing modules. After evaluating six proposals, the City selected Electronic Data Collection Corp (AIMS) as the awardee, moving to contract negotiations in late 2020. The contract is structured as a five‑year base term with annual renewal options, and the city expects the work to begin in the fourth quarter of 2020. The scope includes software development, hardware provisioning (handheld citation devices, LPR units), data migration, training, and ongoing technical support.
