SUBJECT:
Consider motion to approve the Print-to-Mail Master Service Agreement with InfoSend, Inc. and authorize the Mayor's signature.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On July 30, 2019, the City mailed out a request for proposal (RFP) to nine potential print-to-mail vendors for services related to utility billing. Four vendors submitted proposals in advance of the August 19, 2019, deadline.

 

Staff from the Finance department reviewed the proposals. Proposals were reviewed for service levels and cost. Although the cost information varied by vendor as to how it was presented, staff made every effort to determine an estimated cost per piece and cost per month for each vendor.

 

InfoSend, Inc. was the lowest cost vendor and met the vendor requirements of the scope of services outlined in the RFP.

FISCAL IMPACT: Yes
Pricing on the new agreement will result in annual cost savings of approximately $13,000, with no price escalation (excluding postal rates) allowed during the initial two-year term of the contract.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the City enter into a services agreement with InfoSend, Inc., for Print-to-Mail Services. The initial agreement will be in effect for a two-year period with the option to renew in 12-month intervals for four years.
