Film and Event Planning Permitting Software

What is it?

The City of Pittsburgh, Department of Parks & Recreation, (Citiparks) is requesting Proposals for the provision of a fully comprehensive and automated event and film permitting and management system. This system shall include technical and administrative support as well as statistical reporting for Citiparks. The Citiparks Office of Special Events has recently absorbed the role of permitting and service coordination for special event and film project applications. The current system relies on paper applications and face to face review and discussion of applications. Application fees and service payments are made by check or cashier's check. To keep in line with the initiatives of the Office of the Mayor and to reduce the environmental footprint of the Office of Special Events, Citiparks is seeking to move the current paper process to a digital management system that will reduce waste, become more user-friendly, and create a streamlined and transparent application and permitting process for special events and film projects.
