Getting What You Want from Your Parking RFP: SmartParking

When it comes to selecting a parking operator—changes in the goals of RFPs—and how the RFPs themselves are written can have a significant impact on implementing new technologies and future-proofing your parking facility’s systems. Recently, a top-five U.S. airport conducted the RFP process to select a parking operator that was unique to the industry, and in this Learning Lab, we’re going to share how they did it, and how you can improve your process, too.

Join ABM’s Jeff Cushman, Director, National Programs, ABM Aviation and Brett Winslow, Director of Operations, West Region, ABM Aviation, Landside, as they discuss exactly how improved RFP processes resulted in the implementation of the SmartParking concept, improved operator accountability and positioned the airport to seamlessly add new technology for years to come.
