RFP-052809-PCARD - Procurement Card Services

Summary of Specifications:
The Rochester City School District (RCSD) desires to implement a Procurement Card program through a contract awarded via this Request for Proposal (RFP). The program shall permit designated RCSD employees to make purchases of equipment, material, supplies, and services with a Procurement Card. The primary objective of the P-Card program is to simplify the purchasing process while eliminating activities that add to the cost of goods and services by establishing a user-friendly, flexible process that provides internal controls to limit liability to the RCSD and prevent fraud throughout the term of the contract. Additionally, the District is interested in streamlining its payment process by reducing the number of checks issued and paying selected vendors through the P-Card program. Proposers must provide means by which data is available to our users online in real-time. A secondary objective is to obtain a rebate based upon usage of the services by the RCSD.
