SUMMARY:

 

Award of the Airport Parking Management and Shuttle Services Operating Contract to Ace Parking III, LLC will provide greater operational flexibility in the management of the parking facilities, valet parking and shuttle services at John Wayne Airport. Ace Parking III, LLC will offer unique opportunities to generate revenue through optional enhancements while facilitating the continued safe and efficient transportation of John Wayne Airport passengers and employees between remote parking lots and the Thomas F. Riley Terminal.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

John Wayne Airport (JWA) determined that combining the parking facilities, valet and shuttle services contracts into a single contract achieves greater operational flexibility and cost efficiencies for the operator and JWA while providing substantial benefits by: 1) allowing the operator to share a pool of staff that can operate the parking facilities, and offer valet (including car wash) and shuttle services; 2) eliminating the need for separate operator management teams; and 3) removing redundancy in the administration of two similar contracts in the areas of contract compliance, accounting and insurance.

On August 1, 2023, JWA released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Airport Parking Management and Shuttle Services on the County’s online bidding system. JWA received six proposals by the deadline of October 4, 2023.

The Scope of Work includes management of self-park operations in designated parking structures and parking lots, the employee parking lot, the commercial hold lot and the cell phone lot using JWA’s existing parking access and revenue control system. The Scope of Work also includes janitorial and maintenance services in identified parking areas. In addition, the operator will operate and manage valet parking and offer, either directly or through a subcontractor, car wash and detail services to valet customers at the designated location. Services also include the operation of a Courtesy Shuttle and Employee Shuttle routes.

Based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP and final scoring, JWA recommends ACE Parking III, LLC for award of the Airport Parking Management and Shuttle Services Operating Contract for a five-year term, with the option to renew for one additional two-year term upon Board of Supervisor’s approval. ACE Parking III, LLC has over 50 years of experience, manages more than 100,000 airport parking spaces, operates a fleet of at least 150 shuttles and employs about 1,500 professionals. 

 

Proposed Contract

 

JWA expects the Contractor to provide the following services:

 

1. Parking and Valet Management

2. Shuttle Services

3. Optional Enhancements

 

The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to this contract award because the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations do not allow a local preference and proposers did not claim Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).

 

Compliance with CEQA: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt (Class 1) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301, because it involves the approval of a contract for the management, operation and maintenance of the parking facilities, valet parking and shuttle services at John Wayne Airport, an existing public facility, involving no expansion of the existing use.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

Appropriations for this contract are included in Fund 280, Airport Operating Fund, FY 2023-24 Budget and will be included in the budgeting process for future years. 

 

The contract contains language which permits reductions or termination of the contract immediately without penalty if approved funding or appropriations are not forthcoming.
