RFP-10282014 - Procurement Card Services

Summary of Specifications:
The Rochester City School District (RCSD) desires to continue 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. 

The District requires that the contractor has a local presence. 

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 and ePayables programs. 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.
