Project Summary Rick Williams Consulting (RWC), in collaboration with the Bozeman Parking Commission and the City of Bozeman Parking Division Staff, additional City Staff will assess existing parking conditions within the defined study area – the Downtown Parking District. The evaluation will include a complete inventory of the stated 4,900 parking stalls, a utilization study to measure parking activity levels, and a thorough analysis of the findings. The assessment will look and the ebb and flow of parking dynamics and identify surpluses and deficits within the system to capitalize on potential opportunities and mitigate challenges. A review of past parking data collection efforts by MSU, as well as local parking policy and code language, will offer important context and understanding and provide guidelines for effective decision- making. The primary goal for the RWC team is to bring a holistic approach to this project which will be driven by data and industry best practices. RWC brings an unmatched breadth of downtown parking, transportation and redevelopment experience to this project. This assures completion of a study that is based in: A clear understanding of the array of access needs for this unique area of Bozeman. Hands-on experience in owning, managing/operating and developing both public and private parking assets (on-street, surface lots and garages). Direct experience in the development and implementation of parking regulations and guidelines for (sub) urbanized areas that are uniquely tailored to the economic development and growth vision for those areas. Successful and comprehensive experience in data collection/analysis for parking capacity, utilization, turnover and demand in cities of all sizes. Facilitation of community and policy level stakeholder processes to reach consensus on goals and objectives for parking and Guiding Principles that can be successfully incorporated into City policies and code. Current and relevant experience in identifying revenue sources for funding and sustaining parking management programs and developing parking systems. Direct experience in the development and implementation of successful transportation demand management (TDM) programs that complement and facilitate sound parking management, particularly in downtown settings. Demonstrated success in developing parking management plans for downtowns that are both approved by city councils and implemented. Page | 2 Rick Williams Consulting has extensive experience in CBD parking across the Northwest, in dozens of communities.

C. Company Description/Capability Rick Williams CONSULTING Parking and Transportation Demand Management PO Box 12546 Portland, OR 97212 Phone: (503) 459-7638 Email: Rick@rickwilliamsconsulting.com Few parking consulting firms bring the combination of policy and planning expertise and hands-on experience in operating parking systems that RWC offers to a client. From establishment and operation of Portland, Oregon’s award winning SmartPark parking system to management of a portfolio of parking structures supporting downtown commercial office/retail assets to development of unique parking plans and strategies for a diverse mix of downtowns through the country, RWC understands the intricacies associated with “self-sustaining parking districts” and systems. The firm has direct experience in managing, operating, designing, building and financing individual parking assets to complex parking systems. Over the years, RWC has successfully shared that experience with public and private clients to develop policies, programs and operations that work, are successful, and self-sustaining. Rick Williams Consulting has conducted numerous parking studies and plans in cities around the country. It is our belief that parking should enhance and support the surrounding land uses, not the other way around. RWC takes pride in the fact that the majority of studies completed for cities have received unanimous approval by City Councils and are in the process of implementation. RWC, an S-Corp established in 2014, was for many years affiliated with BPM Development, LLC, a 50- year-old real estate firm located in downtown Portland. BPM is a full-service commercial real estate firm with expertise in building management, development, construction and consulting in all phases of commercial property development. BPM also owns Star Park, a parking management company that owns and/or operates 27 parking facilities in Portland, OR. RWC has been providing parking and transportation demand management consulting services since 1995. Representative parking studies for public clients (partial listing) are shown below. Additional client lists for both public and private sector clients are available as well.

Firm Qualifications – Key Personnel Project team member and their roles are described below. Detailed resumes for each of our team members are included in Attachment A at the end of this proposal. Rick Williams, Principal Rick Williams' background is in downtown development and parking and transportation demand management. He spent eight years as the Executive Vice President of the Association for Portland Progress (APP), a private non-profit business association representing the 75 largest employers in downtown Portland. While at APP, Rick oversaw creation and management of the downtown “Smart Park” parking system, a seven facilities and 3,500 space operation. He also led marketing and business development programs for the downtown and co-led establishment of the Clean & Safe Business Improvement District (BID) in 1989, which at that time was only the second BID formed in the United States. After 20 years as Executive Director of Go Lloyd, the Lloyd’s transportation management association (TMA) in Portland, OR, Rick retired, leaving a number of transportation achievements behind including facilitating a local Streetcar extension into the neighborhood, spearheading the streetscape revitalization, and aiding in the creating of an EcoDistrict. In 1995, Rick left APP to form his own consulting firm focusing on parking development and demand management program design. In 1998, Mr. Williams merged his business into the consulting wing of Melvin Mark Development Company, which included oversight of six commercial high-rise garages in Downtown Portland. While at Melvin Mark, Rick assisted in the construction of several parking garages and surface facilities in Melvin Mark’s real estate holdings. In 2004, Rick re-established Rick Williams Consulting and affiliated with BPM Development, LLC. In 2015, Rick, Owen Ronchelli and Pete Collins formed Rick Williams Consulting, an independent S-Corporation. Owen Ronchelli, Vice President Owen Ronchelli has worked as a parking consultant for the past seventeen years, assisting local governments and development firms in many aspects of parking management. His primary expertise is in parking data analysis, data collection process, management strategies, parking technologies and plan implementation. He is also a transportation demand management professional with a skill set that lends itself well to efficient and pragmatic parking management practices. Recent projects have been in the Cities of Portland, Salem, Oregon City, Springfield and Hillsboro, Oregon as well as Seattle, Spokane, Bellevue and Tacoma, Washington. Owen also serves as the Executive Director of the Go Lloyd, the Lloyd’s (Portland, OR) transportation management association. Go Lloyd is a private, non-profit business association providing parking management, transit, bike, ridesharing and outreach programs to 90 Lloyd District businesses and their 10,000 Lloyd District based employees (golloyd.org). Mr. Ronchelli is a graduate of Portland State University with a Master’s Degree in Urban and Regional Planning, focusing on the nexus between transportation and land use. Proposal: Downtown Bozeman Parking Inventory and Occupancy Study Page | 5 Pete Collins, Senior Associate An Associate for four years, Pete Collins works primarily on parking policy and TDM best practices. Recent projects have been Olympia, WA, Tacoma, WA, Salem, OR, and Redmond, OR. Pete is also the Executive Director of South Waterfront Community Relations (SWCR), a 501©3 non-profit uniquely focused on both residential and employees transportation demand management services. South Waterfront, a waterfront community in southwest Portland, is an extremely green built environment with limited parking and a strong transportation options portfolio. Mr. Collins has also worked at the Washington Transportation Alliance in Beaverton specializing in suburban TDM services and programs. In 2006, Mr. Collins graduated from University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a Master’s Degree in Regional Planning, focusing on the correlations between proximity to transportation options and health. Mr. Collins also holds a certificate in Geographic Information System (GIS) from Portland State University as well as course work in the PHd program in Urban Studies. Project Responsibilities Rick Williams will serve as Senior Project Advisor. Rick will be involved in many phases of the work scope, particularly in the areas of parking policy, public presentations, and the development of final recommendations for parking strategies aptly suited for Bozeman. Owen Ronchelli will serve as Project Manager. He will be responsible for task initiation and completion and client/stakeholder communications through bi-weekly updates. He will also lead the data analysis on the parking study, evaluation of surpluses and deficits, recommendation development, procedures and coordination. Owen will also prepare the data summary report and document delivery. Pete Collins will serve as Project Associate. He will lead the data collection effort, data interpretation, provide assistance in research and review of past studies. Pete will also participate in report writing/editing, and assist in presentation preparation. We believe the consultant team assembled for this project provides a unique blend of professionals who fully understand the dynamics of an active downtown environment and the growing need for access and parking issues that go along with it. This team brings experience not only in the development of strategic parking plans but also actual hands-on experience in the development, implementation and ongoing operation of parking and transportation management systems. Page | 6 E. References & Project Experience Five project examples are provided below, additional references are provided in Attachment B. SALEM, OREGON (2006 – present) Downtown Parking Study and Plan Reference: Sheri Wahrgren Sara Bratcher Downtown Revitalization Manager Parking Policy and Downtown Project Manager Urban Development Department Urban Development Department 555 Liberty St. SE 350 Commercial Street NE Salem, OR 97301 Salem, OR 97301 503.588.6178 ext. 7595 503.588.6178 ext. 6471 Salem Population: 142,979 Rick Williams Consulting completed the development of a comprehensive parking management plan for two areas of Salem’s downtown. Plans were developed for the “core retail zone” and the State Capitol Mall. Both areas are unique and have required development of zone-based plans designed to address unique issues and access dynamics associated with each area. The study was based on a very extensive utilization/capacity and turnover study of nearly 10,000 on and off-street parking stalls. The full plan was unanimously adopted by the Salem City Council in December 2006. Since completion of the original study RWC has been retained to continue assistance in plan implementation and measurement and is currently assisting the City in both on-going data collection and technical assistance related to new parking development, financial performance and operations planning. OREGON CITY, OREGON (2008 – 2009, 2012) Downtown Parking Study and Plan Reference: Nancy Busch City Parking Manager 320 Warner Milne Road Oregon City, Oregon 503-496-1571 Oregon City Population: 21,940 Rick Williams Consulting conducted a comprehensive parking study for the City of Oregon City. The study involved two unique areas of the downtown that are targeted for commercial and residential growth (the “Historic Downtown” and the “Bluff area”). RWC conducted separate inventories in each area and compiled a very comprehensive data base of parking activity (including occupancy, turnover and demand). The process also involved facilitation of a 20 member Parking Advisory Committee (PAC) that served as an oversight group for the project. The study also provided for extensive outreach to City Council, the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners, the downtown Main Street Association and neighborhood associations. Proposal: Downtown Bozeman Parking Inventory and Occupancy Study Page | 7 The PAC completed a visioning process that led to development of Consensus Themes for Parking and Guiding Principles. The stakeholder and data gather processes informed strategy development, demand forecasting for future development and identification of future “parking opportunity sites” and funding sources. Rick Williams Consulting produced an implementation plan of over 20 strategies coordinated into a near, mid and long-term implementation schedule. GRESHAM, OREGON (2011) Centers Parking Strategy Reference: John Dorst Manager, Transportation Division City of Gresham 1333 NW Eastman Parkway Gresham, OR 97030 (503) 618-2525 Gresham Population: 100,637 Rick Williams Consulting is preparing a Centers Parking Strategy for the City of Gresham, Oregon. The City’s goal for the project is to assess the state of current parking needs in the Downtown, Civic and Rockwood Centers and evaluate parking management strategies to ensure best usage of existing parking. In addition, the City recognizes that its desire for greater density of both housing and employment will likely lead to the need to transition from surface lots to structured parking facilities (garages) in the future. Understanding how parking structures fit into the urban design of these three development areas and how design, cost, policy (and the City’s role in each) can affect their success is the focus of this study. EVERETT, WASHINGTON (2007 – 2009) Downtown Parking Study Reference: Ryan Sass City Engineer, Engineering & Public Services City of Everett 3200 Cedar St. Everett, WA 98201-4516 (425) 257-8800 Everett Population: 100,101 Rick Williams Consulting teamed with Barney & Worth to conduct an in-depth analysis of the downtown Everett parking system. The Everett project involved extensive public outreach, public open houses and forums, electronic polling, presentations to the Mayor and City Council and data collection from 1,900 on-street stalls and 13 downtown parking facilities. Additional analyses were conducted in “high occupancy” parking nodes as well as extensive analysis of Everett’s regulatory code and enforcement program. A comprehensive parking management strategy was developed and approved by City Council. Since completion of the study, Rick Williams Consulting and Barney & Worth have been retained to Page | 8 assist in plan implementation and further analysis regarding siting, development and financing of future parking facilities. BEAVERTON AND HILLSBORO, OREGON (2007 - 2009) Downtown Parking Solutions Study and Plan Reference: John Southgate Margaret Middleton Economic Development Manager Senior Transportation Planner City of Hillsboro City of Beaverton 150 East Main Street PO Box 4755 Hillsboro, OR 97123 Beaverton, OR 97076 (503) 681-6229 (503) 526-2424 Beaverton Population: 85,015 Hillsboro Population: 84,652 Rick Williams Consulting in partnership with Parametrix, completed Parking Solutions Studies and Plans for both the cities of Beaverton and Hillsboro, Oregon. The studies involved comprehensive data collection efforts and in-depth public outreach efforts. Both cities provided broadly represented citizen advisory committees to the project as well as multiple presentations to Traffic and Planning Commissions, City Council and public open houses. Both studies were unanimously approved by the respective City Councils. Rick Williams Consulting was retained by the City of Beaverton in 2008 to conduct an analysis of parking impacts associated with the Beaverton Farmers Market. Additionally, Rick Williams Consulting was retained in 2009 to provide analysis and parking strategy development for the area including, and adjacent to, the Beaverton Round. F. Outline of Services Rick Williams Consulting’s approach is grounded in a “Main Street” philosophy and a clear understanding of the economics of demand and access in emerging and revitalizing downtowns. From that foundation, we recognize and understand that Bozeman’s current and anticipated system of access must be developed in a manner that serves the unique demand variations affecting this area of Bozeman. While the parking industry maintains a large tool box of “best practices,” the tool box for this study will be tailored to Bozeman’s place in time (current environment) and future vision (growth and changing conditions). With regard to parking and access, RWC will derive the current dynamics of Bozeman’s parking system through a review of current parking policies and code requirements (e.g., 2010, 2012, & 2014 downtown parking studies, 2016 Parking Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan) as they relate to Bozeman’s current and future parking needs in the downtown commercial district. Understanding the goals and objectives described in these plans while conducting a thorough parking study (public & private stalls within the defined study area) will help bring to light potential barriers and opportunities in shaping Bozeman’s parking future. Proposal: Downtown Bozeman Parking Inventory and Occupancy Study Page | 9 RWC will conduct a complete baseline parking inventory and data collection effort to gauge parking behavior in downtown Bozeman. Analysis of the findings will specify key system metrics such as peak hour occupancy, average length of stay, parking stall turnover rate (particularly important to retailers), number of unique vehicles, employee vs. visitor parking, time stay violations, and moving to evade. These metrics will serve as the basis for developing recommendations to maximize the efficiency of the parking system, calibrate the parking format to assure the system is serving the desired user group, and establish triggers for implementation. Survey findings, system metrics and strategy considerations will be presented to the Bozeman Parking Commission and Parking Division staff for review, feedback, and refinement. TASKS Task 1: Project Kick-Off and Background Review We will commence the study with a kick-off conference call to meet project management staff and refine the study’s work scope. City staff and RWC team members will discuss material needs (e.g., plans, data files, other relevant resources), coordinate project elements, and determine the timeline for deliverables. Task 1 will complete the following work elements: Hold Kick-Off meeting(s) with City staff. Finalize work scope and clarify the defined study area. Review background materials, plans, redevelopment plans, city code, statistical data, demographic patterns, social events, land use plans, and other information sources. Establish Bi-weekly update schedule Tasks 2 & 3: Parking Inventory & Data Collection During Tasks 2 & 3, RWC will conduct a detailed inventory of the 4,900 parking stalls in the downtown, inventorying both on and off-street facilities. The inventory will be followed by a comprehensive occupancy and turnover survey, the timing of which will be coordinated with the client. Tasks 2 & 3 will involve the following work elements: A thorough inventory of the on and off-street parking supply by stall type, time designation, and ownership/ management (public/private). Development of a detailed inventory data base that provides parking stall information by block face, number and type of parking stall. One 10-hour survey day (typically 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM) to include a 100% sample of all on- street parking in the finalized study zone. Hourly off-street survey conducted concurrently with on-street study. Off-street data collection will be a high percentage sample of the total off-street supply; the sample will be statistically significant accounting for lot size variation, ownership or management, and geographic distribution. Page | 10 Parking can be a divisive and emotional issue in emerging and redeveloping downtowns. As economic development takes place, the dynamics of parking change tremendously. This dynamic leads to difficult questions regarding access, convenience and the culture of how downtown is currently accessed and how it will be accessed in the future. Citizen input, involvement and “buy-in” are critical. If the City elects to increase the study size to include the ‘secondary’ study zone (determined during Task 1), inventory and data collection will include these additional on and off-street stalls. Task 4: Data Analysis Data analysis will look at all aspects of how the parking system is being utilized and will highlight indicators that illustrate where efficiencies can be made and help to demystify perceptions of how the parking system operates. Results from the data analyses will be presented in graphical (charts) and tabular form as well as being summarized into a written report. The report will provide an accurate and thorough quantification of all of these factors. These measurements will be used to evaluate and calibrate parking practices and policies for downtown Bozeman. RWC prides itself in its ability to work with jurisdictions to develop parking strategies that are grounded in sound, accurate data. Task 4 elements include: RWC’s proprietary models generate valuable information such as occupancies by hour of day, occupancies by stall type, average duration, system turnover, violations of posted time stays, number of unique vehicles, total vehicle hours parked, moving to evade, vehicles parked longer than 5 hours, etc. These indicators and others can be used not only to evaluate how the system is being used, but often times who (what type of user) is using the system. A data summary report will encapsulate, display and explain data findings that are straightforward and easy to understand. These findings will telegraph what strategies and/or management practices should be used to make the highest and best use of the existing parking supply. Creation of GIS occupancy ‘heat’ maps that visually display parking activity by block face, by hour of day, including sampled off-street lots and structures. Deliverable: Technical memorandum on Data Summary Report Task 5: Strategy Considerations/Draft Report Based on the results of Tasks 1 – 4, the Consultant Team will develop a set of strategic considerations intended to help create an efficient parking system by redistributing demand into areas of surplus and maintain or increase rates of parking turnover to allow more convenient access to downtown to a greater number of users. Elements of the strategy development phase may include: Necessary policy and/or code changes to ensure parking is ‘right-sized’ to encourage efficient and long-term growth Immediate, near, mid and long-term strategy/program implementation methods. Consideration for alternative modes of access to and from the downtown (e.g., transit, bike/walk and rideshare) and the relationship of desired/adopted mode split goals. Proposal: Downtown Bozeman Parking Inventory and Occupancy Study Page | 11 Management related solutions using demand based decision-making benchmarks (using the 85% Rule); elements of which could include reformatting time stays, enhanced enforcement, pricing, capacity and turnover management techniques, code requirements and alternative mode options. Some strategies considerations designed to minimize conflicts between user groups including employees and customers/visitors (residents) within the parking supply. Deliverable: Technical memorandum on Parking Strategy Considerations All strategy development will be appropriately grounded in industry best practices and sound data findings derived in Tasks 2 & 3. Task 6: Final Report and Deliverables Following the Parking Commission and Parking Division staff’s review and refinement of the strategy considerations memo, RWC will synthesize both memos into a draft final report for the project management team to review. Task 6 work elements: Deliverable: Draft Final Report on data findings, analyses (tech memo 1) and strategy considerations (tech memo 2). Deliverable: Final Report incorporating all comments and revisions from Parking Commission and Parking Division staff. Presentation of Final Plan to city staff and Parking Commission. Tasks 7: Second Occupancy Study - Optional If the City elects to include an additional summer utilization study, RWC will apply the same methodology used in the first study to complete the second one. Comparative findings between the two studies may answer questions of seasonal parking behaviors, event influences, visitor parking shifts, etc. The timing of this additional survey will also be coordinated with the client if deemed necessary. Tasks 7 will involve the following work elements: Secondary or follow up study using the same methodology as the first. Data analysis/interpretation, comparison of findings to earlier study. G. Cost and Expenses BUDGET We propose a budget of $36,600 to cover Tasks 1 through 6, above. An optional Task 7 (a second utilization study, comparative analysis, and mapping) would add an additional $15,000 to the total project cost. The table (next page) provides a detailed break-out of costs by task item. Page | 12 SCHEDULE In accordance with the proposed timeline outlined in the RFP, our team will wait until the City of Bozeman is ready to commence the study. ADDITIONAL REQUESTS If the City requests services outside the agreed-upon scope of work during the project RWC would bill using the following standard rates for professional services: Rick Williams, $175/hr. Owen Ronchelli, $145/hr. Pete Collins, $125/hr. We are also willing to negotiate “not to exceed” limits on additional work to accommodate both City needs and budget constraints.
