The committee held detailed deliberations on various aspects of the smart parking project, including the overall scope of work, hardware and software components, and the eligibility and technical criteria for prospective bidders.

Key features such as pink parking provisions for women, Internet connectivity for real-time parking management, pre-booking of paid parking slots, and pre-paid parking cards for use across Chandigarh were discussed and finalised.

The committee also reviewed terms related to service level agreement (SLA) penalties for non-compliance with the request for proposal (RFP) conditions, technical audit of IT tools and the inclusion of a panic button feature in pink parking zones. Additional aspects finalised included mobile app and web portal-based slot booking, portal cabin specifications, stamp duty clauses and surrender/exit terms for the service.

Meanwhile, a delegation from the Chandigarh Traders Association Sector 17 led by Kamaljit Singh Panchi also submitted suggestion that a dedicated mobile application should be developed through which users could view real-time availability of parking spot.
