The Iowa City City Council will consider a resolution July 10 awarding a contract to Zipcar Inc. for car-sharing services for the Transportation Services Department.

The University of Iowa first issued a request for proposals for this project and received proposals Aug. 30, 2011.

According to city documents, the Transportation Services Department will have no financial obligations other than the commitments of staff for marketing assistance and parking spaces for the car sharing vehicles.

The city councilors will vote on a resolution awarding the contract at their next meeting, July 10.
