ORLANDO, Fla.— In a continuing effort to maximize the airport parking experience and improve traffic flow, the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) Board approved a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Parking Guidance System at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Similar systems have been successfully deployed at a number of Central Florida attractions and health care facilities.

The Board’s RFP is seeking companies to provide software, hardware, equipment, installation, support, and maintenance for an Automated Guidance System for the Aviation Authority’s parking facilities. The Parking Guidance System will monitor vacancies in real-time, provide colored indicators to identify available spaces and provide pertinent parking information to roadway signage and online applications.

Subject to the final scope of the project, a small business participation goal of 10 percent will be included for the installation services portion of the award. The value of this procurement is estimated at $9,600,000 for software, hardware, installation, commissioning, warranty, and seven years of support and maintenance. The contract is scheduled to be awarded in June of 2024.

An additional passenger convenience item was also approved by the Board. A contract for Curbside Traffic Management Services was awarded to Allied Universal Security Services to ensure the courteous, safe and expeditious movement of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic at Orlando International Airport’s Terminal A, B, and C curbs.

The five-year contract will commence on or about March 1, 2024, and will include a commitment by Allied to honor GOAA’s small business goals. Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation will make up 25 percent of the contract. That component will be worth an estimated $8 million of the not-to-exceed contract total of $32,185,329.00.

Both of these actions underscore the Aviation Authority’s commitment to make the passenger journey as seamless as possible and promote GOAA’s pillars of People, Connection, Community and Innovation.
