DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth will utilize this Agreement for processing credit card payments at approximately 60 locations, including Municipal Court, the Water Department, Libraries, Community Centers and City Hall (for building and other permits). JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Paymentech, LLC (collectively Chase Paymentech), work together to provide the merchant processor services, which allow the City to authenticate the cardholder's transaction by use of the card's magnetic stripe or the embedded chip, if present. Transactions are also captured by manually entering the credit card number. All four major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) and debit cards will be accepted. Cumulatively, the City expects to process approximately $125,000,000.00 annually in credit card sales, with an estimated annual processing cost of$1,700,000.00. Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on May 5, 2015. The RFP evaluation factors included responsiveness and ability to provide services and reports to meet the City of Fort Worth specifications. Additional evaluation factors were technical compliance, experience and references.

Staff has reviewed the prices of the recommended vendor and certified that they are fair and reasonable. M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BIDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
