Li Tiansheng pointed out that after the trial operation period expired, the Transportation Bureau decided to implement the parking fee from 8:00 on January 9, but the metered fee is not convenient for the people who go to park for a long time. Outsourced bidding, and selling monthly parking tickets for automobiles and motorcycles at the same time, benefiting the folks in Dali.

Lu Jiajia, Director of Parking Management, pointed out that the maintenance cost of the three-dimensional parking lot is high, including the huge maintenance expenses for elevators and air conditioners. Although the "most favorable bid" has been adopted, the manufacturers are not interested, so the outsourcing bidding has not been completed for a long time. Currently, the Bureau of Transportation operates it on its own, but it still maintains free parking at night. In the future, it will continue to negotiate outsourcing bidding, and after the outsourcing operation is completed, the operating unit will be required to sell monthly passes for automobiles and motorcycles to ensure the rights and interests of the public.

Regarding the bidding part of the outsourcing operation, the Transportation Bureau explained that because the three-dimensional parking lot provides a high-quality parking environment sheltered from wind and rain, the overall construction, management and maintenance costs are higher than that of the flat parking lot, and regular fire safety inspections, elevator mechanical equipment, etc. are required Carrying out maintenance and testing also requires special personnel to be stationed in the factory. In order to provide the public with good parking service quality, the Transportation Bureau has publicly called for tenders to handle the outsourced operation of the field. In the future, high-quality manufacturers will be selected through the selection system to serve the local area.

Li Tiansheng called on the Taichung City Government to complete the outsourced bidding for the Dongrong Multi-dimensional Parking Lot as soon as possible, and at the same time sell monthly parking tickets for automobiles and motorcycles to benefit the folks in Dali.
