This contract awards the City of Santa Fe a four‑year, sole‑source agreement with Windcave Inc. to provide credit‑card processing and collection services for all municipal parking facilities that use the PARCS system. Windcave will supply a certified payment‑gateway, manage terminals, deliver technical support, and perform remote software and compliance updates. The existing parking hardware is certified only for Windcave’s gateway, eliminating the need for new hardware acquisition. The total authorized spend is $200,000, covering setup, processing, and support fees over the contract term.
• Scope: Credit‑card payment processing, terminal management, remote updates, and compliance support for city parking.
• Hardware Dependency: Current PARCS hardware is uniquely compatible with Windcave; switching vendors would require costly hardware replacement.
• Financials: Fixed‑price contract valued at $200 k for a four‑year period (≈ $50 k per year).
