Magnetic parking space reservation equipment supply

Solicitation #TR0-6617. Issued by FAS - Purchasing. The City of Seattle is seeking a vendor to supply essential equipment for our on-street parking space reservation system. The equipment the City needs includes temporary magnetic signposts, which are designed to display parking restriction signs effectively. These posts must be compatible with the City's existing system (Gorilla Post Systems) and are crucial for communicating temporary parking restrictions to motorists in our paid parking areas. In addition to the temporary magnetic signposts, the City also requires base plates and a removal tool. The base plates are 5-inch diameter steel plates that securely anchor the signs to various surfaces, ensuring stability and visibility. The removal tool is specifically designed for safely and efficiently removing the magnetic signs from their base plates, maintaining operational flexibility. The vendor should be able to provide products that are fully compatible with the City's existing inventory of base plates, temporary magnetic signposts, and signs. These products should be available on an as needed basis, as they are essential for the proper signage and designation of reserved spaces in our 12,000 on-street paid parking spaces. The selected vendor will play a vital role in supporting our curbspace reservation platform, which allows individuals, such as construction contractors, to temporarily reserve parking spaces for staging and construction use on paid parking blocks.
