For acommercial bank loan 10.2 % interest is assumed,based on the Chinese interest base (6 %) and anadditional 70 % margin (4.2 %). Total interestover 10 years equals to 46,019,833 RMB, makingthe total investment for the operator over a 10year period: 122,849,629 RMB.6.8.4 Operation costsHR costFrom the start of operation, <strong>parking</strong> inspectorscheck 50 <strong>parking</strong> places, meaning 240 <strong>parking</strong>controllers are needed at any given time. With24/7 operation, in the first year 800 day-time and47 night-time <strong>parking</strong> inspectors are needed.From the second year, 480 <strong>parking</strong> controllers areneeded for the day-time. From the third year wecalculate with 156 inspectors in the day shift and47 in the night shift, since operation has maturedby then. For comparison, in European cities, withsimilar technology, a controller can check 200<strong>parking</strong> spaces. Furthermore there is 1 head of thedepartment and another 36 people assisting staff.There should be two brick-and-mortar customersoffices customers office in addition to onlineservice. There will be 1 head of department, 27staff and 10 security personnel operate 7 daysa week. With modern technology, technicalmaintenance is very efficient and only 32 staff areneeded, headed by the CTO. Three IT staff do ITmaintenance. Three staff do PR and marketing, incooperation with the government. Three full timelawyers take care of legal issues.Due to automated software only 10 employeesare needed at the financial department: one chiefaccountant, 4 financial administrators and 4 laborissue administrators, as well as the head of thedepartment who is also CFO of the company. ForHR 5 staff are needed. The company managementconsists of a CEO, COO, Head of Purchasing,Quality Control and Secretary/Head of Office.The yearly labor cost of the <strong>parking</strong> company is32,626,800 RMB in the first and second year anddrops to 18,639,000,- RMB from the third yearonwards, mostly due to a lower number of <strong>parking</strong>inspectors.Maintenance cost of the technologyThe maintenance cost for the hardware is containingall the necessary expenses to ensure 24/7operation of the equipment. These costs includespare parts, the cost of charging the batteries(even with solar charging the batteries have to becharged once a month).Maintenance cost (support) and license feeof softwareFor maintenance to the software system, a fairlyhigh 10% of acquisition cost is assumed, since<strong>Beijing</strong> Parking, <strong>ITDP</strong>-<strong>China</strong> 1421 March 2015
the <strong>parking</strong> management system is complex, withmany interrelated software.Other operation costFor PR and marketing, aimed at continuous,transparent customer service and feedback, anannual cost of 3,600,000 RMB is assumed.Including 5% unforeseen costs, the operationcosts for the first year are 51,555,021 RMB, whichincreases by 3 % inflation annually. Operationalcosts drop from the third year due to savingsin staff. Operation costs of the third year are37,727,531 RMB (including 5 % unforeseen costs).6.8.5 Parking revenue calculationSome assumptions are made for the calculationsof <strong>parking</strong> revenue, which are set out as following:●●Day time operational hours are assumed from7.00am-9.00pm. Even though the daytime<strong>parking</strong> fee is higher, only 8 RMB/hour isassumed.●●Night time operational hours are assumedfrom 9.00pm-7.00am (0.5 RMB / half hour)●●Given inflation and growth of <strong>parking</strong>demand, <strong>parking</strong> fees will surely rise over the10 year contract period. In the calculation the<strong>parking</strong> fee is kept stable though.●●Only 25% <strong>parking</strong> occupancy of driverspaying for <strong>parking</strong> is assumed. Although notevery driver will pay and demand is not highduring the entire day, revenues can be expectedto be much higher. With the maturingof the system compliance to <strong>parking</strong> paymentis increased by a very conservative 1% annualincrease from the second year of operation.●●An average <strong>parking</strong> duration of two hours,based on the surveys, is used.The revenue calculation is as follows: one <strong>parking</strong>space has 14 hours of <strong>parking</strong> operation inthe daytime (7am-9pm), multiplied by 365 days,so 5,110 operational hours per year. If we take thefirst year’s occupancy rate of drivers <strong>parking</strong> andpaying of 25 %, then 1277.5 hours are sold. With 2hours average <strong>parking</strong> duration per <strong>parking</strong> event,639 <strong>parking</strong> actions at 16 RMB = 10,224 RMB isspent at each <strong>parking</strong> space. For 12,000 on-street<strong>parking</strong> spaces, this equals 122,688,000 RMB.For night time we calculated with 2 <strong>parking</strong>events/<strong>parking</strong> space/night. So the income iscalculated as follows: 12,000 <strong>parking</strong> places x 25%occupancy rate x 2.5,- RMB / <strong>parking</strong> action x2 <strong>parking</strong> events/night x 365 days = 5,475,000,-RMB for all night time <strong>parking</strong>.The <strong>parking</strong> revenue for the first year for bothday and night time is 122,658,000 RMB. For subsequentyears the assumed 25% occupancy rateis increased incrementally to 34% due to higher<strong>parking</strong> demand and higher payment compliance.6.8.6 Profitability calculationThe revenue share between the government andprivate <strong>parking</strong> operator are assumed followingthese ratios, although these are negotiable beforesigning of the contract.Revenue shares between government and privateoperator<strong>Beijing</strong> Parking, <strong>ITDP</strong>-<strong>China</strong> 1431 March 2015YearGovernmentrevenue sharePrivate <strong>parking</strong>operator share1 30% 70%2 30% 70%3 30% 70%4 40% 60%5 40% 60%6 40% 60%7 40% 60%8 40% 60%9 50% 50%10 50% 50%The profitability calculation of the 10 yearcontract period is shown in the table below. Thefollowing conclusions can be drawn:●●Total revenue from the 12,000 <strong>parking</strong> placesis 1,518,126,000 RMB;●●The <strong>Beijing</strong> government earns 39% (averageof 10 years) of all revenue as a net profit,amounting to 601,611,540 RMB, as well asthe local business taxes/VAT of the <strong>parking</strong>company and the <strong>parking</strong> company’s employees’taxes (income tax, social security, etc.);●●The <strong>parking</strong> company will earn 61% (averageof 10 years) of the revenue, amountingto 916,514,460 RMB.
