Commuter Parking Lots Improvements for Special Events

Penn State University issued an open Request for Proposals to conduct a feasibility study for improving three commuter parking lots (Jordan East, Porter North, Stadium West) to better support special‑event traffic. The award was made to SP+, which will develop three conceptual plans, cost estimates, and deliver both preliminary and final reports. The work includes stakeholder engagement, bi‑weekly updates, and a field‑review of a major concert event. • Scope: analysis, recommendations, and pre‑conceptual plans for safety, financial, and operational efficiency of campus parking during special events. • Deliverables: three conceptual designs, cost‑estimate “opinion of probable cost,” field‑review report, preliminary report (Oct 20 2023), final report (Nov 17 2023). • Schedule: services start ~June 12 2023, field review on Oct 6 2023, final completion by mid‑November 2023.
