Quality management is not an event - it is a process; a consistently high-quality product or service cannot be produced by a defective process. Quality management is a repetitive cycle of measuring quality, updating processes, measuring, updating processes until the desired quality is achieved. Additionally, on our projects, quality does not mean purchasing the most expensive material or services available on the market. Quality and grade are not the same. A product may be of good quality (no defects) and be of low grade (few or no extra features). With this in mind, our procurement teams are careful when procuring material and equipment as part of and HVAC installation. During the procurement stage, equipment/material providers are required to submit cut sheets, catalogs, references, financial, insurance, warranty, bonding (if required) and other information during the selection process. This information is collected, analyzed, compared, scored, and in most cases, shared with the client if they have an interest to be involved in the selection process. This level of transparency would be provided to Sourcewell members if awarded a contract. * 52 Describe any service standards or guarantees that apply to your services (policies, metrics, KPIs, etc.) The service standards that we use for our material and service selections involve critical items such as past performance, financial viability, warranty/service, references, company history, risk management and other criteria depending on the project. This is the process that we use to ensure that all equipment/material would conform to quality-based project specifications, and provide the client with the best possible value. Examples of quality-based scoring criteria from past scorecards are provided below: • Functionality – Can this equipment/material perform its intended function on the project and behave as expected. • Performance – Can this equipment/material meet or exceed all the performance specifications as defined by project requirements. • Reliability – Does this equipment/material have the ability to perform as intended under normal conditions without unacceptable failures. • Relevance – Is this equipment/material pertinent, applicable, and appropriate based on its intended use or application in the project. • Timeliness – Can this equipment/material be delivered in time to meet project schedules and timelines. • Completeness - Is this equipment/material a complete solution and can it address the entire scope of services in its entirety. • Warranty/Service - Does this equipment/material come with a warranty/service packages consistent with best practices in the industry. * 53 Describe your payment terms and accepted payment methods?

Improper use or damage may not be covered under warrantywear items such as brooms. * 47 Do your warranties cover the expense of technicians' travel time and mileage to perform warranty repairs? No. The travel time is usually the responsibility of the end-user. However, we have provided transportation if urgency requires. Yes * 48 Are there any geographic regions of the United States or Canada (as applicable) for which you cannot provide a certified technician to perform warranty repairs? How will Sourcewell participating entities in these regions be provided service for warranty repair? We will Our dealer contracts require that they provide coverage through service for all customer within their area of responsibility. This would of course include Sourcewell member customers. In very rare situations and with the dealer or agreement of the customer's preferred service provider, authorizations for a specific customer to perform their own warranty repair can be given. If none Elgin and our dealer would support this by providing parts, work instructions and compensation at pre-established rates. Authorization would only be given if the required repair is available, the customer may provide warranty service themselves. In many cases, considered relatively easy to accomplish and did not present any risk for the customer's in-house mechanics have been authorized to provide warranty service. * 49 Will you cover warranty service for items made by other manufacturers that are part of your proposal, or are these warranties issues typically passed on to the original equipment manufacturer? In many casesOur warranty covers all items with the exception of engines, the OEM warranty prevailstruck chassis, tires and other components that carry their own manufacturers warranty. Custom Fire will advocate for the end-These items are typically supported by local dealer facilities. Any items/components that do not have local service would be cover by ▇▇▇▇▇ and our dealers. We have been know to assist our end user whenever an OEM warranty is not satisfactoryby leveraging our contacts with engine and chassis manufacturers and dealers. * 50 What are your proposed exchange and return programs and policies? Exchange and return programs are provided by the component supplier. We stock many sourced components and request the faulty component be returned for reimbursement. Call tags are provided when necessaryIt is extremely rare that we would need to exchange or have a sweeper returned. If necessaryone of our sweepers was determined to be wrong for a specific customer need/application, labor reimbursement will be provided we would work with them to modify or exchange a product for one that would work performedbetter. Many times Ultimately, we are all better off if the customer is happy to swap out a faulty part if it is a simple task such as a faulty lightsatisfied with their sweeper - that's what we work toward. * 51 Describe any service contract options for the items included in your proposal. We are not specifically offering service contracts with this proposal. However, most of our dealer offer extended warranties a variety service contract options and service specials. The offerings can be from full-service turnkey parts and service solutions to specific seasonal specials in preparation for sweeping season. These are dealer specific. * 52 Describe your payment terms and accepted payment methods? Payment terms are established between the Elgin dealer and the Sourcewell member. Generally, this is net 15 or net 30-days. However, our dealers do most of their business municipally and understand that some entities need to apply different payment terms. Most of the time the specific member requirements can be met if within reason. The standard payment terms between our dealer and u is net 30-days. * 53 Describe any leasing or financing options available for use by educational or governmental entities. Again, leasing and financing options are determined between the Egin dealer and the Sourcewell member. All of our dealers offer some type of leasing and/or financing option. This is usually with a third-party that we or they have established relationships with. We often recommend NCL and many of our dealers have an established relationship with NCL and use NCL's Sourcewell contract solution for lease/financing options. * 54 Describe any standard transaction documents that you propose to use in connection with an awarded contract (order forms, terms and conditions, service level agreements, etc.). Upload a sample of each (as applicable) in the document upload section of your response. We do not have a standard transaction document that is provided to the end-user/member. Typically, the entity issues a purchase order to our dealer based on a Sourcewell proposal/quote that is generated through our configurator tool. The dealer submits the "quote" to us as an order once the member issues a PO. We, in turn, issue an electronic acknowledgement document to the dealer confirming what was ordered. This is our standard process today, for all orders, and Sourcewell orders fit nicely within our existing process. I am including example documents in the upload section. * 55 Do you accept the P-card procurement and payment process? If so, is there any additional cost to Sourcewell participating entities for using this process? The payment process for members is a transaction between Sourcewell member and Elgin dealer. I do not believe P-card transactions are used. We do not accept P-Card payments from our dealers. We have no hidden or undisclosed costs. * Provide detailed pricing information in the questions that follow below. Keep in mind that reasonable price and product adjustments can be made during the term of an awarded Contract as described in the RFP, the template Contract, and the Sourcewell Price and Product Change Request Form. 56 Describe your pricing model (e.g., line-item discounts or product-category discounts).

Our pricing model is a simple 3% discount from list price on all sweeper products including options, exclusive of chassis and freight (from factory to dealer location) costs. We are also offering the rental of our sweepers. Rental rates apply across the US and Canada (in Canadian dollars). The rates provided on the rental rate sheets are the Sourcewell member's price. Used Sweepers, primarily from rental fleet, are generally late model and because of various usage and condition of specific units, the pricing will be a negotiated and agreed to price between the member and Elgin dealer. This allows members a method of obtaining a quality sweeper at an additional a much lower initial acquisition cost. Cost is dependent on complexity and component content. Our factory-direct warranties are competitively priced and have increased in popularity as customers realize the added value of a factory-supported warranty program. *

Line Item Question Response. 45 46 Do your warranties cover all products, parts, and labor? Yes, all products are covered. OEM/Component warranties prevail and may exceed our standard Exhibit #60 is Mohawks warranty. This warranty shown at the ending pages of the list price sheet, which is posted on ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (across from the terms and conditions approx. 2/3rds of the way down the page). ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/library/Mohawk_Warranty_04.05.21.pdf Different lifts have different warranties. As stated, the overwhelming most popular lift is a two-post side by side, which Mohawk offers an industry leading 25-year warranty on the structure, backed by a 10-year warranty on the moving parts (roller bearings, chains, safety release lever, safety release cable, etc.). To best understand the quality and longevity difference of a Mohawk two post lift, please see exhibit #58. * 46 47 Do your warranties impose usage restrictions or other limitations that adversely affect coverage? NONo. We place There are no usage restrictions. Custom Fire warranties Examples are based on the intended several garages that run 2 or 3 shifts per day. NYPD, FDNY, and appropriate use NYC Sanitation all have 32+ year old Mohawk lifts. These garages operate either 2 or 3 shifts per day. Please see exhibit #20 from NYPD former deputy commissioner ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. These lifts have 60+ years of equipment. Improper use or damage may not be covered under warrantyusage and are still going strong every day. * 47 48 Do your warranties cover the expense of technicians' travel time and mileage to perform warranty repairs? NoYes, situation and product dependent. If a customer forgets where the “up” (or down) button is after being trained, the local representative might charge the agency if a special trip is needed. This can be handled easily over the phone, via virtual meeting or email. The travel time operator is usually also able to read the responsibility of instruction manual that was included with purchase or can be found online at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇ . If the end-user. Howeverissue is a defective part, we have provided transportation if urgency requiresMohawk pays the local installer/service provider, and the user (agencies) don't receive an invoice. * 48 49 Are there any geographic regions of the United States or Canada (as applicable) for which you cannot provide a certified technician to perform warranty repairs? How will Sourcewell participating entities in these regions be provided service for warranty repair? Mohawk can provide 100% coverage in the lower 48 states of the US. Alaska and Hawaii are remote, as our rep in Alaska lives in Anchorage and doesn't travel to Juneau, Nome, or Prudhoe Bay every week. The same applies to parts of Hawaii and areas in Canada. Mohawk is more established in the US than in Canada. We know 90% of the Canadian population lives 100 miles from the US border, yet there are Mohawk lift installations in remote places like Cold Lake Alberta the Yukon or CFB Alert (the northerly most year-round inhabited place on earth). A service call to Cold Lake Alberta or Nome Alaska doesn't happen overnight, yet for 40+ years we've handled most service issues over the phone. In remote areas customers know the reliability of Mohawk. They buy Mohawk recognizing there are not 10 service centers to show up in an hour. Remote agencies buy Mohawk for quality, reliability, and longevity. As a manufacturer, Mohawks factory employed service team handle most service questions over the phone. Customers are also able to email Mohawk at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. After hours the Mohawk telephones are answered by an outside answering service up until 6PM Pacific time. The answering service will provide coverage through call one of the dealer or the service staff after hours to return a customer's preferred service provider. If none is available, the customer may provide warranty service themselves. In many cases, the customer's in-house mechanics have been authorized to provide warranty servicecall. * 49 50 Will you cover warranty service for items made by other manufacturers that are part of your proposal, or are these warranties issues typically passed on to the original equipment manufacturer? In many casesThe Mohawk value-added supply partners (Hunter, Gray, Westmatic, etc) each cover service directly with their service departments. Mohawk only partners with the highest quality manufacturers in their respective fields. If not, the OEM warranty prevails. Custom Fire will advocate for the end-user whenever an OEM warranty is not satisfactorymarginal quality of other manufacturers' products may reflect on Mohawk and future lift sales. * 50 51 What are your proposed exchange and return programs and policies? Exchange Lifts are not generally a returnable item. Precautions are taken in advance of shipping as every 4 post, mobile, parallelogram or large two post is fully set up and return programs made operational prior to leaving the factory. Lifts are provided by big, heavy to move and expensive to re-ship. These are the component supplierreasons every lift has detailed specs on the back page of each flyer (emailed and a hard copy is mailed when a customer inquiries). We stock many sourced components See exhibit #61 for a typical product flyer and request the faulty component back page for specs and measurements. An example of great customer service (not the fault of Mohawk) is the 50,000 lb. capacity four post lifts Pinellas Transit purchased. After installation Pinellas Transit asked Mohawk to exchange 24” wide runways (which they acknowledged they ordered) for 32” wide runways. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ paid freight in both directions and paid extra fees to exchange the 24 for 32” wide platform. In the lift industry large lifts are built to order. No lift industry manufacturer keeps every model of large 4 post, vertical rise, or parallelogram lift in stock. This is because each lift is different. These built to order lifts require a “data sheet” (a build sheet). Exhibit #24 requires the signature of both the using agency and the Mohawk representative. The data sheet asks certain questions about the lift, the facility, the options, track lengths or widths. In 30+ years of requiring data sheets, only one time did a reseller measure the bay length incorrectly, causing the runways to be returned for reimbursementreturned, welded shorter and resent to the agency. Call tags are provided when necessary. If necessary, labor reimbursement will be provided for work performed. Many times the customer is happy to swap out a faulty part if it One mistake in thousands of lifts is a simple task such as a faulty light. very good average * 51 52 Describe any service contract options for the items included in your proposal. We None. The ANSI (American National Standards Institute) requires lifts to be inspected annually. Per the ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) independent inspectors must perform these inspections. ▇▇▇ feels that if lift manufacturers were to perform the annual inspections, it's akin to the fox guarding the hen house. I don't believe any ALI member inspects their own lifts as this has been an ongoing discussion within ALI, and this was a topic at a recent ALI membership meeting. * 53 Describe your payment terms and accepted payment methods. Standard payment terms are Net 30 days from invoice date. Mohawk will extend payment terms in cases of statewide adoptions or an agency term being 45 or 60 days. Mohawk accepts checks, wires, ACH payments, and p-cards. Mohawk also allows financing if the member agency is using a finance company such as Sourcewell awarded vendor NCL (National Cooperative Leasing). * 54 Describe any leasing or financing options available for use by educational or governmental entities. Mohawk offers financing through National Cooperative Leasing (NCL), a Sourcewell awarded vendor. The NCL Alternative Funding Solution video is displayed at the bottom of Mohawk's Sourcewell webpage (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/sourcewell/). Mohawk assists with connecting the agency to the proper person at NCL to start the paperwork process if using financing. NCL is also an awarded Sourcewell Legendary Leader award recipient. * 55 Describe any standard transaction documents that you propose to use in connection with an awarded contract (order forms, terms and conditions, service level agreements, etc.).

If so, is there any additional cost to Sourcewell participating entities for using this process? Yes, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts P-Cards as payments. No, there are no additional costs associated with the use of P- Cards. * Provide detailed pricing information in the questions that follow below. Keep in mind that reasonable price and product adjustments can be made during the term of an awarded Contract as described in the RFP, the template Contract, and the Sourcewell Price and Product Change Request Form. 57 Describe your pricing model (e.g., line-item discounts or product-category discounts). Provide detailed pricing data (including standard or list pricing and the Sourcewell discounted price) on all of the items that you want Sourcewell to consider as part of your RFP response. If applicable, provide a SKU for each item in your proposal. Upload your pricing materials (if applicable) in the document upload section of your response. Mohawk and all supply partners have a published list price. Mohawk and all supply partners offer extended warranties at a discount percentage off MSRP (list price). Over the 14 years of being an additional costawarded Sourcewell vendor, Mohawk's prices have changed but the discount percentage off list price remains consistent. Cost Prior to posting new prices on ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Product and Pricing request has been submitted to Sourcewell and only after approved, does Mohawk make the price changes to this website. Mohawk, Gray, and Westmatic have one discount percentage off list. Hunter, discounts vary based on either the product category of A; light duty or B; heavy-duty products. • All offered prices include delivery to Sourcewell members in the 48 continental states (AK, HI and Canadian customers pay freight from the closest shipping or border crossing). • All prices include the proposed 1.4% Sourcewell administrative remittance. • Every companies products have a specific part number (SKU), which is dependent included in the uploaded price list of each supplier. • The list, discounted prices, and SKU #'s can all be seen on complexity ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. • Unlike other vendors who have different prices, don't include freight costs, or have varying freight terms and component contentconditions on other MAS contracts, Mohawk's GSA, Sourcewell, NRECA and NASPO prices are all the same.

Line Item Question Response. 45 44 Do your warranties cover all products, parts, and labor? Yes, our warranties cover all products, parts, and labor according to our Limited Warranty statements. OEM/Component warranties prevail The labor is typically conducted at our local dealer. We publish to our dealers a flat rate guide on how much time each repair should take. We will not reimburse them if their repair time is above our published time, and may exceed they cannot provide justification of the higher amount. Our dealers provide us with their shop labor rate annually. We will question the rate if we see it is not in line with other dealers as we want to make sure the customers are being treated fairly. If the customer is performing the work under warranty versus the dealer, we will negotiate how labor will be paid. Our standard product warranty for a government agency is one year, our standard warrantyparts is 90 days. The customer can purchase additional warranty periods at the time of the sale.

Exchange The majority of our product sales are conducted between our dealer channel and return programs are provided by the component suppliercustomer. It is left up to our dealers if they choose to offer a trade-in program. We stock many sourced components and request the faulty component be returned for reimbursement. Call tags are provided when necessarydo not offer trade-ins on factory direct purchases. If necessarya customer wants to trade because they are not satisfied with the product, labor reimbursement we will be provided for work performedto make adjustments that satisfies the customers requirement, which could also include providing additional or extended warranty coverage. Many times If they want to trade up or to a different type of mower, we will refer them to their local dealer. Our parts are typically sold through the local dealer and their parts return policy would govern.

We encourage our dealers to provide at least Net 30. Many of our dealers offer the same acceptable payment methods as we offer. * 52 Describe any leasing or financing options available for use by educational or governmental entities. We do not offer leasing programs at the factory; our dealer channel often has multiple options for leasing and financing covering our equipment. There are occasions on a factory direct sale that we will offer extended warranties terms, this would be determined on a case-by-case basis. * 53 Briefly describe your proposed order process. Include enough detail to support your ability to report quarterly sales to Sourcewell as described in the Contract template. For example, indicate whether your dealer network is included in your response and whether each dealer (or some other entity) will process the Sourcewell participating entities' purchase orders. Our goal is to make a purchase through the Sourcewell contract as easy as possible for the customer. We will give them the option to work directly with their local dealer or directly with us at the factory. The customer chooses if they want to make the purchase order out to their local dealer or with us, the pricing is the same either way, unless the dealer chooses to provide a lower price, our dealers are trained that the Sourcewell contract is a ceiling-based contract. If they choose to go directly to the factory, we keep the dealer involved as they will be expected to provide full service and warranty coverage after the sale. The order process starts with our teams making sure the customer is selecting the right product, we then move to how they want to purchase the equipment. Our first recommendation will be to use our Sourcewell contract, which may involve educating the customer on the acceptance and showing them the online contract documents. Currently, we determine their Sourcewell membership status and discuss the ease of becoming a member if they are not a member. We will then provide a quote with our awarded contract number listed along with their member number if it exists, we will include price pages from our Sourcewell submission. Our territory manager is fully engaged with the dealer during the quote process. This ensures we are reporting each sale going through our contract. Once they have accepted the quote, they will issue the purchase order to their choice of the local dealer or our factory. The order is placed at the factory with a copy of the customers purchase order no matter who it is made out to, the dealer and customer receive confirmation along with the expected ship date. Most of the orders are delivered to our dealer for a pre-delivery inspection. The dealer and our territory sales manager will deliver the order to the customer and conduct a full training on the operation and maintenance of the equipment, how to get it registered, and a complete review of all manuals. The invoice process comes from either the dealer or the factory and will go through the e-procurement system process the customer prefers. Either way, our Sourcewell awarded contract number will be on the invoice along with the customers Sourcewell member number, as this will complete the audit process for the customer, which we recognize is important. Our territory managers are involved in every equipment sale and know which contract the customer is using. An order cannot be placed at the factory unless we input the contract, which is being used, this feeds into our reporting of the various contracts we are awarded. We will continue to use the accepted format we currently submit for our fee payment if we are awarded this contract. * 54 Describe any standard transaction documents that you propose to use in connection with an awarded contract (order forms, terms and conditions, service level agreements, etc.). Upload a sample of each (as applicable) in the document upload section of your response. Many of our dealers choose to use our sales order and quote form that we use when there is a factory direct sale, see attached. * 55 Do you accept the P-card procurement and payment process? If so, is there any additional cost to Sourcewell participating entities for using this process? We accept P-cards on factory direct orders with no additional fees. It varies with our dealer channel, some accept P-cards, others do not and some charge an extra fee while others do not. * Provide detailed pricing information in the questions that follow below. Keep in mind that reasonable price and product adjustments can be made during the term of an awarded Contract as described in the RFP, the template Contract, and the Sourcewell Price and Product Change Request Form. 56 Describe your pricing model (e.g., line-item discounts or product-category discounts). Provide detailed pricing data (including standard or list pricing and the Sourcewell discounted price) on all of the items that you want Sourcewell to consider as part of your RFP response. If applicable, provide a SKU for each item in your proposal. Upload your pricing materials (if applicable) in the document upload section of your response. Our pricing model for equipment will be a percentage off our standard published list price by product category. Our parts will be a percentage off our current standard published list price. Our Tractor Mower Operator Safety Training (T.M.O.S.T) pricing is determined once the type of training, location and number of students has been identified. (see attached price books) * 57 Quantify the pricing discount represented by the pricing proposal in this response. For example, if the pricing in your response represents a percentage discount from MSRP or list, state the percentage or percentage range. Our discount will be 15% off our standard published list price for each product category and 2% off our current standard published list price for parts. (see attached discount schedule) * 58 Describe any quantity or volume discounts or rebate programs that you offer. Volume discounts or rebate programs are determined on a case-by-case basis from our dealer channel and at the factory. * 59 Propose a method of facilitating “sourced” products or related services, which may be referred to as “open market” items or “nonstandard options”. For example, you may supply such items “at cost” or “at cost plus a percentage,” or you may supply a quote for each such request. Each request for a sourced, open market or nonstandard product will be quoted at the time of the request. The member will be provided with our method of calculating their price. * 60 Identify any element of the total cost of acquisition that is NOT included in the pricing submitted with your response. This includes all additional charges associated with a purchase that are not directly identified as freight or shipping charges. For example, list costs for items like pre- delivery inspection, installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Identify any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the Proposer. Our dealer channel may add to a Sourcewell quote local delivery charges, set-up, installation or mounting charges, and predelivery inspection charges. There will be no additional charges added by the factory. * 61 If freight, delivery, or shipping is an additional cost to the Sourcewell participating entity, describe in detail the complete freight, shipping, and delivery program. Freight, delivery, and shipping is an additional cost. Cost is dependent We work with North America's leading real-time visibility provider of carrier and API (Application Programming Interface) connectivity for our transportation management. The platform provides us with instant freight shipping information between us and the preferred carriers. We have immediate access to rating, tendering, tracking and document retrieval which gives us the opportunity to provide our customers with the best rates. We are including our freight rates in this response. (see attached freight rates) Alamo Group has leveraged all the Alamo member companies into contracts with package delivery companies which means the rates we charge are well under what our customers qualify for due to our substantial, large volumes across North America. Many of our dealers provide local equipment and parts deliveries using their own trucks and trailers. * 62 Specifically describe freight, shipping, and delivery terms or programs available for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or any offshore delivery. Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or offshore deliveries are handled in the same manner described above, we do not have any unique challenges, terms, or conditions in these areas. We may need to choose different modes of transportation, i.e., an ocean vessel, container shipping, or helicopter sling or involve a freight forwarder but we have the experience of shipping throughout the world, so it becomes just another delivery for us. * 63 Describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in your proposal. Many of our dealers offer inventory managed parts programs which often takes the administrative functions of making sure you have the right part on complexity and component contentthe shelf at the right time away from the customer, which allows that FTE to conduct a higher level of work instead of conducting clerical inventory functions. Our factory-We have also recognized customers have contracted for third party inventory management services to handle their stores. These companies purchase on behalf of the customer with the typical cost model being cost plus an agreed upon management fee. To keep the customer with the best pricing we sell direct warranties are competitively priced and have increased in popularity as customers realize the added value of a factory-supported warranty programto these companies versus our dealers selling to them. *

The data being collected provides a highly accurate and reliable view of true occupancy. The data is collected 24-supported warranty program7-365 and stored indefinitely creating a reservoir of historical information for the utilization of each part of the curb being monitored. *This historical information is used to report on changes to the system. For example, if the curbside manager decided to change the price of parking on the main street of their downtown to encourage parking on side streets, the system can report on the curb utilization before and after the change was made. The report is based on true occupancy of vehicles parking as opposed to incomplete data from payment transactions or annual parking studies. Another example of a curb management initiative is to improve payment compliance. Most communities struggle with understanding what their payment compliance rate is. The eXactpark solution continuously measures compliance by calculating the difference between true occupancy and payment occupancy based on payment transactions. The solution includes features to operationalize the real-time compliance rate so enforcement officers can do their job more effectively. Better enforcement leads to higher payment compliance because people are more likely to pay next time they park after being issued a ticket. The eXactpark system can report on the compliance rate before and after the improvements are initiated as a definitive measure of curbside management performance and return on investment.
