The City of Houston awarded a contract for the design, supply, installation, integration, testing, and ten‑year support of a License‑Plate‑Recognition Parking Access & Revenue Control System (PARCS) together with a Pre‑Booking/Reservation software platform at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). The work includes phased hardware installation (cameras, EZ‑Tag readers, lane detectors, networking, servers), full software integration with existing airport systems (SAP, EZ‑Tag, accounts receivable), development of an online reservation portal, training of airport staff, and delivery of comprehensive as‑built documentation. The award was a competitive RFP; the joint‑venture of T.I.B.A., LLC and KMP Associates dba AEROPARKER received the contract. Key points:
• Scope covers both hardware (LPR cameras, networking, cabinets, UPS) and software (reservation system, PCI‑DSS compliant payment processing).
• Ten‑year service term with long‑term maintenance and support obligations.
• MWBE goal of 13 % for equipment installation, but no set‑aside requirement.
• Fixed‑price contract, awarded after a pre‑proposal conference and site tours.
