The Keelung City Government has initiated a public tender for the Reconstruction, Operation, and Transfer (ROT) project of the Xinyi Multi-story Parking Lot. This follows the termination of a previous contract due to irregularities, with the current outsourced operation expiring in September. The tender covers the operation and management of parking spaces on floors 4 to 13, which currently comprise 512 car parking spots. The contract term is 10 years from the signing date, with a potential 5-year extension if operational performance is satisfactory. The private institution's investment must not be less than NT$120 million, with at least NT$5 million allocated to the "Highlight Aesthetics Plan." For royalties, the private institution will pay the city government a fixed annual operating royalty of no less than NT$3.2 million from the contract signing date. Variable operating royalties will be paid as a percentage of the private institution's operating revenue; if annual operating revenue is below NT$30 million, the city government's collection ratio must not be less than 1%. Additionally, the private institution must comply with city government policy objectives by installing smart parking management equipment and systems, including license plate recognition, multiple payment options, occupancy detection (with car-finding function), real-time display of remaining spaces at the entrance and on each floor, data integration, and charging facilities. Public aesthetic design must also be incorporated into the parking lot's operation plan. The Department of Transportation stated that by introducing private professional operating teams and capital technology, they hope to optimize on-site operational management and create a more comfortable, convenient, and intelligent parking space for citizens. To ensure a fair, just, and open bidding process, the city government's ethics unit will fully participate in supervision, implementing the concept of a clean and efficient government and strictly guaranteeing fair competition among bidders.
