Request for approval to lease parking spaces for 43 employees of the Office of the Purchasing Agent at GreenStreet garage with Raffle Parking for the period of October 1, 2025 - September 30, 2026, at an approximate total cost of $64,500.

Background and Discussion:
The Office of the Purchasing Agent is relocating staff back to in-person operations, and reliable access to parking has been identified as a barrier to consistent attendance. To address the limited predictability and fluctuating rates of public parking, a block of spaces has been secured at the GreenStreet Parking Garage, 1301 Main Street, Houston, TX 77002, at a flat monthly rate of $125 for the fiscal year.
