Parking System
Overview The Saint Louis Science Center Foundation (The Saint Louis Science Center, Science Center, SLSC) is
seeking a replacement for its current parking system. The current system is 25 years old for which parts
are no longer available for repair, and new functionality is required.
History The Saint Louis Science Center is the product of the merger of the Natural History Museum of Saint Louis
and the Saint Louis Planetarium in 1985. The Saint Louis Science Center traces its roots to the Academy
of Science of St. Louis, founded in 1856 as the first scientific organization west of the Mississippi River. In
1959, the Academy created the Museum of Science and Natural History in Clayton’s Oak Knoll Park.
When the Metropolitan Zoological Park & Museum District (ZMD) was formed in 1971, the Museum of
Science and Natural History became a member, independent from the Academy, which continues to
operate as a separate entity to this day. The Saint Louis Science Center features more than 700
interactive exhibits in ten galleries, including GROW, Mission: Mars, Life Science Lab, Makerspace,
Discovery Room, Ecology and Environment, Human Adventure, Structures, Liftoff and Experience
Energy. In addition, guests can see science in action through Amazing Science Demonstrations at Center
Stage, enjoy a thrilling film experience at the OMNIMAX Theater and gaze at the stars at the James S.
McDonnell Planetarium.
Environment The Saint Louis Science Center operates a 689 space parking lot at its location at 5050 Oakland Avenue,
St. Louis, Missouri. The use of the lot is shared with Saint Louis University High School (SLUH). The
ultimate goal of SLSC and SLUH is to provide safe, efficient parking for the various audiences each
institution serves.
Documents in this RFP Packet Please note that in addition to this document a Notice to Bidders, Proposal Requirements, and Bid
Form are attached. These documents contains all of the vendor specifications necessary to be
considered for this project. Any proposals received that have not followed the specifications outlined in
the Notice to Bidders, Proposal Requirements and Bid Form will be rejected.

SAINT LOUIS SCIENCE CENTER FOUNDATION PARKING SYSTEM REPLACEMENT RFP
PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS P A G E | 4 2/5/2018
Features Description of desired daily operation
Transient Paying Visitors
Entrance
During the hours of operation, transient patrons will be permitted entrance to the parking facilities. An
entrance station equipped with a ticket dispenser will be installed in each entrance lane in the parking
facility. A vehicle must be present for the device to issue a ticket. It will issue a time and date encoded
ticket to the transient patron. The time and date, along with a device number shall be encoded on the
ticket in both the manual and machine-readable formats. Once the patron pulls the ticket from the
dispenser the barrier gate arm will rise.
Exit
When the transient patron wishes to exit the parking facility, the parker pays for the parking fee in the
following method. The parker approaches the Pay-on-Foot (POF) device and inserts the bar code ticket
into the slot containing the ticket encoder. The POF device shall automatically calculate and display the
required fee. The POF device shall read and encode the inserted ticket with the payment information
when appropriate credit cards are inserted into the device to satisfy the payment due. The POF shall
return the properly encoded ticket to the parker who must use the prepaid ticket to exit. A receipt shall
be issued upon demand. The POF or exit device will record transaction for future record and data
retrieval.
The POF and exit device shall have the capability of processing and reporting separately numerous
transactions including: normal transactions, lost ticket transactions, non-revenue (no-charge)
transactions and validation transactions
As the vehicle approaches the exit lane and stops at the exit device, the arming loop is covered allowing
the exit device to be activated and accept tickets. The parker inserts the pre-paid ticket into the exit
device, which reads the information encoded and determines whether the parker has paid. The exit
device encodes the ticket as valid and retains the ticket. The exit device then signals the gate arm to rise.
If the aforementioned conditions have not been met, the exit device will deny egress and the parker will
need to contact a member of staff.
POF devices may exist separately from the exit device, such as in the lobby or at the ticket stations. At
the exit of the parking lot, the exit device shall combine the functions of the Pay-in-Lane (PIL) and exit
device as described here.
Regular Non-paying Users
Entrance
During the hours of operation, regular users will be permitted entrance to the parking facilities. The
entrance station will be equipped with a RFID reader at each entrance lane in the parking facility to read
RFID tags issued to regular users. A vehicle must be present for the device to read the RFID tag. Upon
verifying the RFID tag, the barrier gate arm will rise.
Exit
An exit station, equipped with an RFID reader will be installed in each exit lane in the parking facility to
read RFID tags. When a regular user wishes to exit the parking facility, the parker will hold the RFID tag
to the RFID reader. Upon verifying the RFID tag, the barrier gate arm will rise.
