Concession signed 19 May 2020, 15 years, to SPE 'Z.A. Digital de São Paulo Sistema de Estacionamento Rotativo S.A.' formed by HoraPark. Obligations include 'modernizar o sistema com o emprego de tecnologias de identificação automatizada de irregularidade no uso das vagas' and a real-time availability app; spaces to reach 60,000. Outorga figures differ across official sources — this release cites an initial outorga of R$595.3M in eight instalments (first payment R$74,419,361.13), the city's project page lists R$1,566,360,000 total. Different bases; not reconciled here, so no outorga figure is used in the entry.

The exclusion counterweight, from Brazil's main independent consumer body. FETCH FAILED (HTTP 403); verified via search snippets only, so the editor should re-check before relying on the detail. Reported findings: of 63 Zona Azul areas, 33 had no physical sales point; one of the eight official apps lacked a complaint channel, contrary to art. 4 of Decree 7.962/13; IDEC demanded better in-person service, clearer information, and reimbursement for holders of unused paper cards.

Basis for the current-operator sentence: Estapar has been the exclusive Zona Azul operator in São Paulo since 17 November 2020, managing roughly 51,000 spaces. Verified via search snippets and the operator's own site listing, not a full fetch. NOTE FOR THE EDITOR: the corporate relationship between HoraPark (auction winner, via SPE Z.A. Digital) and Estapar is not asserted in the entry — a trade-body item refers to 'Estapar/HoraPark' jointly for another city, which is suggestive but not conclusive. Estapar's own claim of a real-time occupancy map is deliberately NOT used: its data source is unstated and is most plausibly CAD activations rather than sensors.
