the “Airport Parking Facilities”) and has the authority to contract for the management of such Parking Facilities.
WHEREAS, County owns or controls the following off-Airport parking lots located: (i) The Buttermilk
Lot (“Buttermilk Lot”) located at 38700 State Highway 82 in Aspen, Colorado 81611; and (ii) the Health and
Human Services Lot (“HHS Lot”) located at 405 Castle Creek Road in Aspen, Colorado 81611 (collectively, the

201/202, 41-4-101 et seq., as amended, Title 10 of the Pitkin County Code, as amended, and Section 8.7.2 of the
Pitkin County Home Rule Charter;
WHEREAS, County hereby contracts with Manager under the terms, conditions, and provisions hereinafter
for Manager to be the exclusive Manager of all of the parking stalls within the Airport Parking Facilities and Off-Site
Parking Lots (approximately 885 stalls); and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and
sufficient consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. RECITALS. The recitals above are incorporated within this Agreement.
2. TERM. The “Initial Term” of this Agreement shall commence on March 1, 2025 (“Commencement
Date”) and shall continue through February 28, 2030 unless terminated early per the express terms of this
Agreement. After the Initial Term, this Agreement may be extended by the County for up to two (2) additional 1-year
terms by providing Manager with notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any extension
thereof. The Initial Term and all subsequent renewals are collectively referred to as the “Term”.
3. GRANT OF LICENSE.
a. The BOCC grants to SP Plus, during the term of this Agreement, the exclusive right to occupy the
approximate 144 square foot building plus the outside deck located in the right-of-way for East Airport Road, as
further depicted on Exhibit A hereto (the "Office Space"). The Office Space may be used by Manager for office
space to use at the Airport at the cost described below. Manager shall be responsible for keeping the Office Space
in a neat and clean condition while County shall be responsible for the repair and maintenance of the Office Space

b. In furtherance of this Agreement, the County also grants the non-exclusive right of access as well
as ingress and egress to the Office Space and the right to access the public parking lots (Bear and Elk) and
Commercial Loop at the Airport. Manager’s right of access may not unreasonably interfere with the rights of other
lessees, licensees or permittees of the terminal, the traveling public or the safe and efficient operation of the terminal.
c. As consideration for the grant of Office Space, Manager shall pay to County the sum of FOUR
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED TEN and 24/100 ($4,710.24) for the first year covered by this Agreement in

c. Manager agrees to operate the Managed Parking Facilities in an efficient manner and on days and
hours set by the County, provided however if the Airport Parking Facilities are closed for a period of (60)
consecutive days or more then the parties agree to negotiate an extension to the Initial Term equal to the length of
time the Airport Parking Facilities were closed. Such operation shall be continuous unless County shall otherwise
agree in writing.

violate applicable rules, Manager may use enforcement measures reasonably agreed upon by the Parties including
charging such scofflaw users an additional penalty fee in addition to the parking fare the parker should have paid
for use of the Off-Site Lots. The parking fare portion collected as part of Manager’s enforcement process shall be
included in Gross Revenues.

structural faults or defects of the Managed Parking Facilities are the responsibility of County.

date of the Buttermilk Lot and/or HHS Lot is delayed past April 7, 2025, County shall notify Manager, in writing,
of the later date it intends to require services at the Buttermilk Lot and/or HHS Lot, subject to Manager’s reasonable
approval. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall not be responsible for any

services at those lots. County shall not pay or incur the cost of any management fees or incur any other costs or
expenses associated with management of the Buttermilk and/or HHS Lot unless and until Manager begins providing
services at those locations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
5. REVENUE & EXPENSES.
a. “Gross Revenues” shall include all revenues received by Manager or County or County’s agents
and related to the Managed Parking Facilities, and the value based on established rates of any and all free, discounted
and validated parking granted by County or Manager except as backed out below, as well as income ancillary and
customary to the parking industry and other income or operations producing income as approved by County, but
less (i) any Sales Tax or other tax or charge collected by Manager on behalf of and payable to the tax authority; (ii)
Service Fees (as defined in Exhibit B) or other fees for use of customer-facing technology solutions; and (iii)
customer discounts approved by the County or refunds. Specifically excluded from Gross Revenues are monies
received by and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with scofflaw enforcement processes such as ticketing,
towing and booting charges, as applicable, associated with the Managed Parking Facilities. Enforcement revenue
shall be the sole property of Manager. County shall accurately and report to Manager by the 5th day of each month
any revenues related to the Managed Parking Facilities that are collected directly by County or its agents in the
immediately preceding month.
b. County shall pay Manager for all expenses, charges and administrative costs incurred by Manager in
the performance of its duties, obligations and services pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Operating Expenses”),
which Operating Expenses are more fully described = in Exhibit C. Manager shall not exceed the then- current total
budgeted amount by more than fifteen percent (15%) unless approved by the County (the “Budget Cap”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the parties agree that Manager shall not be obligated to incur any
Operating Expenses that will not be reimbursed by the County. As such, in the event the County fails to approve any
proposed costs or expenses in excess of the Budget Cap then Manager shall not be obligated to incur those costs. In
addition, Manager may reduce or otherwise modify its services accordingly in order to remain under the Budget Cap
and such reduction or modification to the services by Manager shall not be considered a breach or default under this
Agreement.
c. County shall pay Manager an Airport Parking Facilities Management Fee, a Buttermilk Lot
Management Fee and an HHS Lot Management Fee (collectively, the “Management Fees”) in the amounts set
forth below. On each anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Management Fees shall automatically increase
by three percent (3%). The term “Year” shall mean the twelve (12) consecutive months beginning with the
Commencement Date and each twelve-month period thereafter.
i. County shall pay Manager an Airport Parking Facilities Management Fee equal to Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) per Year, payable in equal monthly installments and prorated for
any partial months;
ii. County shall pay Manager a Buttermilk Lot Management Fee equal to Fifteen-Thousand Dollars
($15,000.00) per Year, payable in equal monthly installments and prorated for any partial months
and;

($10,000.00) per Year, payable in equal monthly installments and prorated for any partial
months.

and the Management Fees.
e. Manager covenants that it will use methods accepted in the parking industry to collect or cause to
Metropolis.io – Parking Services Agreement
Confidential and Proprietary
5 42535BBC#4
be collected all of the Gross Revenues from the operation and use of the Airport Parking Facilities and Buttermilk
Lot, but Manager is not a guarantor of revenues. County shall pay Manager for all Operating Expenses and
Management Fees as set forth in this Agreement. Manager may deduct out of Gross Revenues for each month’s
operation, as applicable, on or before the 10th day of the succeeding month, as follows:
1) All Operating Expenses and Management Fees;
2) After payment of the amounts as directed in this section, the balance of the NOI shall be
paid to County monthly in conjunction with Manager’s monthly report to County listing Gross Revenues and
Operating Expenses generated in the preceding calendar month (said report, the “Monthly Report”). The Monthly
Report is expected to be submitted by Manager by the fifteenth (15th) day of the next succeeding calendar month.
If County has not objected to the calculations contained in the Monthly Report within thirty (30) calendar days from
the date of receipt thereof, the Monthly Report calculation shall be binding and conclusive on the parties.
3) If Gross Revenues for any month are insufficient to make the payments required above,
County agrees to remit to Manager the amount of such deficit within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Monthly
Report. For the sake of clarity, in no event shall Manager be obligated to fund Operating Expenses in those calendar
months in which Gross Revenues from operations of the Managed Parking Facilities are insufficient to fund
Operating Expenses for such calendar month.
6. BUDGET. Manager shall annually prepare and deliver to County a proposed budget, for County’s reasonable
approval, reflecting Gross Revenues and Operating Expenses that Manager anticipates during either the forthcoming
calendar year or County’s fiscal year, as County shall direct (the “Budget”). If at any time during the period covered by
an approved Budget it appears to Manager that the actual total of all Operating Expenses likely to be incurred will exceed
the Budget’s projected total by more than fifteen percent (15%), Manager shall advise County and the parties shall
discuss what actions, if any, may be implemented to minimize Operating Expenses without substantially impairing the
operation of the Managed Parking Facilities. A draft of the Budget for the first Year is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
7. RECORDS; CONFIDENTIALITY. Manager agrees that it will keep records of Gross Revenue and
Operating Expenses pertaining to the operation of the Managed Parking Facilities for 3-years (the “Record
Retention Period”) on a rolling basis. County shall be allowed to retain reports delivered to County supplied, but
nothing contained herein shall give County the right to any of Manager's confidential or proprietary information
(“Confidential Information”), which includes Manager’s pricing structure and related information. County agrees
(i) to hold Confidential Information in strict confidence and not make use thereof other than for performance under
or enforcement of this Agreement; (ii) to reveal Confidential Information only to its employees requiring such
information in connection with the performance of this Agreement, and (iii) not to reveal Confidential Information
to any third person except as necessary in connection with the performance of duties under this Agreement, and
then only to the extent that such persons agree to be bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, except
that Manager agrees and acknowledges that the County is bound by the various provisions of the Colorado Open
Records Act and will provide documents and information in possession of the County to third-parties as required
by the law notwithstanding the foregoing provisions regarding Confidential Information. Data that is derived from
the Equipment or processed through Manager’s technology solution is at all times deemed Confidential Information
and is the property of Manager.
8. INSURANCE. Each Party shall comply with the insurance requirements as described and set forth in
Exhibit E attached hereto.
9. INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Metropolis.io – Parking Services Agreement
Confidential and Proprietary
6 42535BBC#4
a. Manager shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless County, its subsidiary, parent, associated and/or
affiliated entities, successors, or assigns, its elected officials, trustees, employees, agents, volunteers, and any jurisdiction
or agency issuing permits for any work included in the project from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses,
liabilities, claims, suits, judgments and demands (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent caused by Manager’s acts,
omissions, or negligence or an account of any act, claim or amount arising or recovered under workers’ compensation
law or arising out of the failure of Manager to conform to any statues, ordinances, regulation, law or court decree.
b. Neither party shall have any liability with respect to, and the parties hereby waive, release, and
agrees not to sue the other upon, any claim for any lost profits, special, indirect, or incidental damages suffered or
incurred by either party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement. Furthermore,
with the exception of personal injury, death and damage to property claims only, Manager’s maximum liability to
County and its employees or affiliates during the Term, whether based in contract, warranty, tort, strict liability or
otherwise, arising out of, connected with or resulting from this Agreement or from the performance or breach hereof,
or from any Services or any additional services covered by or furnished by Manager, shall in no event exceed the
sum of all Metropolis Platform Fees and Management Fees received by Manager and the total Operating Expenses
for the prior twelve (12) months.
10. DEFAULT. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, either party shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement in the event the other party has failed to perform any of the terms and conditions specified herein,
if said failure has been called to the attention of the responsible party in writing and that party has not corrected said
failure within 10-days of receipt of written notice for a monetary breach or within 30-days for a non-monetary
breach.
11. EMPLOYEES. County and Manager agree that, during the Term, all personnel employed by Manager to
operate the Managed Parking Facilities shall be solely employed by Manager or its affiliate and shall have no
contractual relationship with County. In addition, County agrees, during the Term, for 12-months after Manager’s
employee departs, and for a period of 12-months after termination or expiration of this Agreement, that it will not
(i) hire or (ii) attempt to hire its employees. Provided, however, the parties agree that it would be difficult to ascertain
the amount of damages that would result in breach of this covenant, therefore, the parties stipulate and agree that
Manager will be compensated in the amount of $5,000 per employee as liquidated damages for each employee hired
by County prior to the end of said 12-month period.
12. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be provided
by electronic delivery to the e-mail addresses set forth below and by one of the following methods 1) hand-delivery
or 2) registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid to the mailing addresses set forth below. Each party by notice

authorities having jurisdiction over the Managed Parking Facilities in order to operate the Managed Parking

or condition herein contained.
k. Each party acknowledges that it has participated in the negotiation of this Agreement, and no
provision of this Agreement shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any
court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured,
dictated or drafted such provision.
l. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
m. Those provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration of this

increases the parking rates at any of the Managed Parking Facilities then Manager may increase the Service Fee to an amount
mutually agreed upon by both parties.
