Additional Backup Information:
This contract amendment will provide continued operations and management of the parking facilities and shuttle bus operations at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). With this amendment, the contractor will continue to provide the overall management of all parking operations including AUS’ 24-hour complimentary shuttle bus transfer, management of over 18,000 airport parking spaces, all assets necessary to support the parking operations, personnel, marketing, and customer service initiatives.
Aviation’s goal is to ensure the economic sustainability of the airport and a related performance indicator of that goal is the revenue per enplaned passenger. This amendment will provide continued management of parking operations at AUS, which is 23% of revenue for the airport. AUS tracks progress towards the departmental goal to ensure the economic sustainability of the airport through the contractor’s implementation of marketing strategies for parking/shuttle service, financial reports (to track ongoing revenues and operating expenses), and customer satisfaction which is evaluated through a third-party survey.
This amendment is important for maintaining the existing agreement, providing uninterrupted and reliable services, driving Council’s desire for regional economic recovery and growth creating jobs and providing opportunities for local and Minority and Woman-Owned businesses in the contracting community.
Without this contract amendment, AUS would have to execute a short-term agreement for interim operations with undetermined outcomes.
