New Firm To Manage Parking Collection In 4 S Gor Local Council Areas

---

 Revenue will be shared equally between the concessionaire and the state, with the state’s amount split between the local councils (40%) and MBI Selangor (10%).
Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd will handle parking collection in Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Selayang from Aug 1.SHAH ALAM: A newly appointed concession company, Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd, will take over parking fee collection and enforcement in four Selangor local councils from Aug 1
Local government and tourism committee chairman Ng Suee Lim said the company was appointed by Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI Selangor) for the first phase involving the local councils in Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Selayang.
He said this was part of the state government’s efforts to boost parking revenue, which currently amounts to only about 30% collection from 1,000 designated bays.
“The concessionaire will handle both fee collection and enforcement, under close supervision from the councils and the state government.
“We target a collection rate of over 60% and hope to reduce double parking in busy areas,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Selangor state assembly sitting here today.
Ng said the revenue would be split equally, with the concessionaire receiving 50%, while the remaining 50% would go to the state, of which 40% would go to the councils and 10% to MBI Selangor.
He denied claims of a closed tender process, saying 26 companies responded to a request for proposal before three were shortlisted.
“The final company was selected based on strict performance conditions. If targets are not met, the 10-year contract can be terminated any time,” he said.
Ng said the new system would not lead to higher parking rates, which would remain between 40 and 60 sen per hour. - FMT
