Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase an existing service agreement (EL014925) with InfoSend, Inc. to provide Bill Presentment Services for the Department of Public Utilities.

On August 30, 2012, the Director of Public Utilities received nine (9) proposals in response to an RFSQ for Electronic/Traditional Bill Presentment and Payment Application Services. InfoSend, Inc. was selected to provide this service. For each year of the three-year contract, funds for the services shall be reviewed, and expenditures shall be approved by ordinance of City Council, and appropriation and certification of funds by the City Auditor. The first year of the agreement (2014), the contract was funded in the amount of $1,300,081.00. The second year of the agreement (2015), the contract was funded in the amount of $1,100,000.00. The third year of the agreement (2016), the contract was funded in the amount of $1,400,000.00. Subject to mutual agreement, the terms of this agreement can be extended for two additional one-year extensions under the same terms and conditions stated herein. The first one-year extension was funded in the amount of $1,200,000.00 extending the contract through November 30, 2017. The second one-year extension to extend the contract until November 30, 2018 required no additional funding.

There is a need to enter into a modification of this service until the new contract is in place. This modifying legislation is to extend the contract to March 31, 2019 and ADD $500,000.00. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain in full force and effect.
